Silverstar's gaze darkened. "You snap at me all of the time." She growled to Roman. She burst out of her den and raced out of camp. She glanced back and saw Snowstorm shoot out of camp after her. "Wait! Where are you going?" She called. Silverstar stopped and spun around. "I'm leaving, your father hates me, everybody hates me, nobody is loyal to me anymore!" She hissed. Snowstorm bowed her head. "I'm loyal to you, Silverstar." She said. Silverstar lashed her tail. "Roman is saying if I snap my whole clan will leave me. He snaps at me all of the time and I take it, I wish I never had a mate." She cried as she fell to the ground. "He always threatens to leave me, it's not fair!" She screeched and Snowstorm took a step back. "He is the most unloyal cat in the world, then." Silverstar looked up as Snowstorm spoke. "He isn't even a father to me, Silverstar. A father would have been there, and not leave every time a cat steps on his tail." Snowstorm said as she licked her mother's ear. "I'll always be loyal to you, even though Roman isn't, and the clan might not be." She promised as she laid down beside Silverstar, who was now calmer and started grooming her kit. Silverstar gazed calmly at the stream as she continued to lick Snowstorm's pelt. "We can't have two medicine cat apprentices, we already tried that before." She said as she gazed at the ground darkly. "I was only an apprentice." She said. "Darkkit and Hazelkit both became the medicine cat apprentice." She started her story.
"Hazelkit was Dawnfrost's favorite apprentice, and Darkkit grew bitter of his sister. Hazelkit was better at being the medicine cat, and Darkkit was jealous of it. Hazelpaw was always getting more respect and attention, while Darkpaw messed things up a lot. One day I was out hunting and I climbed up a tree to catch a squirrel. I missed it, but decided to stick around in the tree encase it came back. Hazelpaw decided to fish for the first time so she stepped out on the rocks. She leaned over the water's edge and looked for fish. Darkpaw saw his opportunity and walked silently behind her. I didn't know what was going on so I didn't call out, plus I was too far away. Darkpaw attacked his sister and had her pinned down on the rocks, killing her. I screeched and leaped down from the tree, but Darkpaw had already pushed her in the water. Darkpaw saw me and ran back to camp, saying Hazelpaw slipped. But I saw the thing and he got caught, and he was banned from Sunclan forever." Silverstar told the story without looking up. "I don't even see Hazelpaw in dreams." She said as she shook her head. "That's why I can't have two, they could turn on each other just like.. Just like.." She said but couldn't finish her sentence.
Tumblepaw shook her head and backed up. "It wouldn't matter to you." She said as she curled up in her nest again.
(Horse, you never exactly waited for me to accept you)
