Chapter 5: Origins
Lakefall POV
It was at a gathering when Crookedstar pulled me aside and told me, I was coming with them, I was puzzled but apparently, he had already cleared it with Sunstar and left with RiverClan and followed them to their camp.
I saw Sedgecreek staring at me and immediately went to talk to Crookedstar.
"Why am I going to your camp?"
"You'll see."
When we entered the camp, a kit came running out of the nursery and went straight to Sedgecreek.
"Mama!"
I saw the kit and Sedgecreek walk into the nursery, but I noticed that the kit had…my tan fur…
"Lakefall!" I heard Crookedstar call from his den
I padded up to him.
"Who's the father?"
"Don't know Sedgecreek won't say."
"What's his name?"
"Phoenixkit."
"I think I know who the father is."
Crookedstar looked surprised. "Who?"
"Me." I simply said, "Don't be mad, I haven't seen Sedgecreek for moons and I'm loyal and in love with Mousefur."
"I know calm down."
"So why am I here?"
"Its time to tell you about your origins."
"What? How would you know where I'm from?"
"Because I was there at your birth." He said, "Your mother was Lilystem and your father Eaglesight two RiverClan warriors."
I sat there with my mouth hanging open "W.w..hat?" I croaked out
"Listen and I'll tell you a story."
Narrator POV
Long ago there was a rogue named Eagle, he was once a kittypet but left early in life with his father Pine he grew and came to the forest onto RiverClan territory and met Lilystem, he joined RiverClan just to be with her he became a warrior named Eaglesight and had one kit with her named Lakekit but when Lakekit was 2 moons old he and Eaglesight disappeared, Crookedstar then CrookedJaw followed them out of camp and saw Eaglesight put Lakekit down on SunningRocks and leave Lakekit was found by a ThunderClan patrol.
Crookedstar POV
Lakefall looked shocked as I recounted the story, he slowly stood up and said.
"Thank you for telling me this but I must get back to ThunderClan."
He walked out of my den and stopped to talk to Sedgecreek and Phoenixkit, then left.
Lakefall POV
As I walked out of Crookedstar's den I stopped at the nursery to talk to Sedgecreek and Phoenixkit
"Sedgecreek?" I called in
"Lakefall? What are you doing here?"
"I came to see my son."
"Be quiet!" she hissed. "He thinks his father died in battle."
I glanced over at the kit playing in the corner.
"You can't make choices by yourself for him! As he is my son I want position of him."
"No, he is my kit I can't part with him."
"He's mine too."
"You can have your own with Mousefur!"
"I don't know if I'll ever have kits with Mousefur!" I hissed louder even so that Phoenixkit looked over
"Mommy?" he asked, "Are you okay?"
"Yes, son go back to playing." As soon as he walked back to the place where he was playing "What do you mean?"
"We've been trying but it's not happening."
"I'm sorry but no."
"But I want to be a part of his life."
"No, I'm sorry." She said looking down "it's better if you leave."
I backed up out of the nursery and left the RiverClan camp and went back to ThunderClan territory as I entered the camp, cats came rushing up to me.
"What did they want?"
"are you okay."
"Stop right now I only want to sleep, I'm okay, and what they wanted is my business and my business only."
I walked straight through them and into the warriors' den and laid down in mine and Mousefur's nest, she came in and laid down next to me, and started licking my ears.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No."
"Talk to me please."
"Right now, all I want to do is sleep so let me please."
She stopped talking but kept licking my ears, I fell asleep to the calm feeling, when I wake up it's not my nest in ThunderClan.
"Hello Lakefall."
I hear the voice behind me I turn around and see.
"Sunstar!" As I saw my old mentor "What are you doing here?"
"I came to finish your story."
"What do you mean."
"I mean even if you are half-RiverClan your half SkyClan."
"SkyClan?"
"The lost Clan."
"What?"
"SkyClan is the lost Clan."
"Sorry, I have never heard of SkyClan." (I was gonna write I've never heard of StarClan)
"They were the Clan of Jumping, their territory was where Twoleg place is now, you need to understand you can't tell anyone."
"Why?"
"We have a plan always trust the plan."
"Okay."
"You have our blessing Lakefall." Sunstar touched his head to mine, "When you feel doubt, let your heart lead you forward not back."
Sunstar and StarClan started to fade and I woke up in my nest in ThunderClan, Mousefur asleep next to me and the other warriors in their own nests.
Finally, I was at peace with myself knowing where I came from, but I also think about Sedgecreek and Phoenixkit and wondering what would've happened if I never stopped meeting Sedgecreek, but as I look at Mousefur, the whole thing was worth it.
There we go! Hope you enjoyed I think this took about 4 hours to do and on word it's 4 pages long so don't expect a chapter as long as this any time soon. Please review and keep reading.
