Last Chance
I had one last chance.
One last chance to take over the Clans, and make them see my ways.
But I blew it.
I, Sol, was trying to bring up the old ways of Tigerstar…. shatter the Clans' faith in StarClan and let Tigerstar's ways be known!
But I failed it.
Everything was going perfectly well with ShadowClan…. until, of course, that sob, stupid ThunderClan stepped in.
Firestar, the kittypet. He is worthless, nothing to the forest! He doesn't even deserve to be alive anymore! If he had just stayed in his old kittypet home, or not come to the lake or something; well, then, Tigerstar's ways would have been recognized!!!
But they weren't.
And now Tigerstar is angry at me.
"Sol," he growled menacingly. "You have failed my quest. And you know that I don't take failure well. So…. be tortured!"
And so, then; he leaped on me and began to torture me. I went limp beneath him. I screeched and screamed.
"This is your punishment." Tigerstar grinned evilly.
When I woke up, Tigerstar gave me one last chance. Only one. I was covered with scars, and I was weak, but…. I thought I could do it.
One day, I decided that I can't do it. As long as those stupid prophecy cats are in the way…. I could have gotten rid of Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather. I could have!
But, no. I couldn't. Their belief in StarClan is too strong.
Hollyleaf was too suspicious. She wouldn't her brothers come back to me.
She began to learn the ways of a vicious cat…. she killed a cat, if only to protect her secret. But then…. she confessed her secret! And went into the tunnels! And when the tunnels collapsed, she died.
The day I walked away from the lake, I knew I was probably going to get mauled by Tigerstar again.
But I don't care.
My last chance…. I blew it. Tigerstar would probably just kill me either way and go into my body and take over the Clans for himself!
Sorry, Tigerstar; but you'll have to find a new pawn to do your bidding.
I'm giving up my last chance and leaving.
Forever.
