Ooh! ^^ Longtail mentions some very evilyness things, and he sounds rather wise in this chapter. ^^
I'm running out of ideas for some themes. If any chapters seem.... uncomplete.... and others are.... complete.... well, then; you'll simply know what I had a tough time with and what I didn't have a tough time with. ^^
Anyways, enjoy! ^^ This is one of my favourite chapters so far. ;) :3
I'm not like you
Sorry, Tigerstar. But I'm just not like you.
I used to worship Tigerstar; used to think he was the greatest. I didn't realize that he was a traitor; that he was planning to kill Bluestar and take over ThunderClan, and then the entire forest…. no; I just wanted to help him get rid of the kittypet!
Even though Firestar used to be a kittypet, over the moons I have come to realize that he really is a lot better than Tigerstar. He gained my trust, and I gained his. Even though he did suspect me of treachery when I told him what Tigerstar was doing…. Whitestorm helped him see that I was all genuine.
I was utterly shocked when we found Swiftpaw and Brightpaw. They wanted to become warriors, I know…. but to do this?! It's shocking! It's mad, it's outrage, it's….
I guess they felt like me. I felt, after Tigerstar was gone, that nobody really believed in me…. I think that Swiftpaw and Brightpaw felt the same way.
And now, looking back on it, I realize that this is how Bramblekit, Tawnykit, and Goldenflower felt. They felt that nobody really wanted them there because they all had ties to Tigerstar…. somehow.
When I had to tell Tigerstar that I was not like him, I felt scared. I thought for sure that he would hunt me down and kill me once he was gone. But, no…. instead, he went after Firestar…. but he never got Firestar.
He killed many others, though. Brindleface, directly; Swiftpaw, indirectly; Stonefur, indirectly; Redtail, directly….
He killed so many.
There are more cats, like Gorsepaw, Runningwind, Whitethroat….
Too many cats. Too many deaths. Too much ambition. Too many tragedies…. it's all his fault.
And I'm not like him.
Now, he and Darkstripe rest in the Dark Forest…. and since I'm not like them, I will be going to StarClan. I'm glad. StarClan cats are cats that know their place in the Clans, and don't try to get to the top by killing other cats.
I admire Firestar for what he did. I like to think that I'm like Firestar; strong, brave, loyal….
Each and every time I think of what Tigerstar did, I shudder. No cat should have had to die because of his ambition. ThunderClan shouldn't have had to get blasted by hate after Firestar stopped Tigerstar. It's all Tigerstar's fault.
Sorry, Tigerstar. But I'm not like you.
