for some, the first snows have arrived. fo
r others, it is simply a chill in the air. reg
ardless, all clans will experience leaf-bare
as a harsh and unforgiving season. queens
and kits are more likely to die during birt
h, prey will flee from patrols, and loners a
re less likely to stray from their warm ci
ty homes. in addition, predators and sickn
esses abound, waiting for the chance to pi
ck off the weak. all in all, it is best for a cl
an to be at full strength during this time.

steamclan and wardclan aren't as lonely as they seem as a new group has just settled in the city: hiddenclan. they've made the area's abandoned mall their new camp and keep out of sight by using the old sewer tunnels to get where they need to go on patrols through the city. these cats are evasive, scheming, and defensive - even among each other. alongside the standard hunting and border patrols, some members are chosen to gather materials through other means: trading secrets with unaffiliated cats in the city. hiddenclan uses their secrecy to their advantage by spying on curious happenings from afar, and if the information is worthwhile, they offer these anecdotes in exchange for prey and materials.

starting over my second clan! i'd like to take astra, ivor, cadence, blythe, and reaper into this one. i'll be putting up the rest of the cats from my old clan up for adoption.

"it's so nice outside today!" driftingcloud chirped, turning her face up to bask it in the sun.

the two mollies had been tramping along the buddingclan border for a while now. the snow had finally melted away in the sun’s warmth. buddingclan's most joyous time had begun, made apparent by the small shoots of plant life growing from beneath their paws. newleaf had come again, bringing with it new life and new beginnings.

sootwhisker had taken the lead of their "girl's patrol," as driftingcloud had affectionately dubbed it, and was the one more focused on the task at paw. however, she didn't seem to mind pulling most of the weight, for she smiled, enjoying the easy conversation the bubbly white molly brought with her.

"it really is." sootwhisker agreed, pausing to sniff the air. "i'm just glad that leafbare’s ended." driftingcloud gave her a full body nod, practically bouncing in place, before suddenly dashing ahead to scale a rock. "what are you doing?" sootwhisker asked curiously, eyes fond as she quickly moved to follow.

"oh, this is where wrenstar and me first met! he scared me, silly thing, and i nearly clawed his face off." driftingcloud laughed loudly, grinning distractedly as she flopped to the ground. "that was such a great day, honestly."

"oh really?" sootwhisker said, raising an eyebrow. she lugged herself up next to the other molly. giving driftingcloud her most innocent smile, she edged her on with, "and why was that?"

sootwhisker felt a little guilty for prying, but it seemed that wrenstar, that poor, flustered friend of hers, was in no way going to take responsibility anytime soon. as his friend and second in command, she felt she should have the right to pull a few strings here and there if it might lead to a confession.

driftingcloud sighed wistfully in response. "first of all, i got to join buddingclan. it's already been one of the best experiences in my life, even though it's only been a few moons." she looked at her paws, fidgeting them a bit in thought. "and i suppose it was a lot of fun too, meeting wrenstar. we ran around the forest, and he showed me around, and we fell down a few times… and sure, he's a little awkward sometimes, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, and i found out he looks really cute with messy fur." driftingcloud continued to look positively dreamy, and sootwhisker barely held back a giggle.

the deputy's smirking face was just out of her line of sight. it was now absolutely obvious, but she felt she might be able to pull a little more info from her. she thought for a minute, choosing her words carefully, then commented, "you two have gotten awfully close, eh?"

driftingcloud remained thoughtful for a little longer, but she suddenly seemed to almost snap out of a trance. her eyes turned focused and expression grew more sober as she looked knowingly back at sootwhisker. "oh, i see what you're doing now." she chuckled, a quiet, deep sound that sootwhisker had never heard from the molly before. "you think i don't know."

sootwhisker's voice turned a little airy with shock. "pardon?"

"i know i can act airheaded sometimes…" she paused, snorting a little with amusement, "nah, i am a real airhead all the time, no denying it, but i'm not blind. i know he likes me, and i know i like him." driftingcloud's eyes turned cloudy again, but this time, with something far deeper than a shallow infatuation. sootwhisker saw it was genuine love that swam behind those sky blue eyes. "honestly, under all his lovable stammering and little nervous fidgets, i think he knows it too. maybe he doesn't have it all sorted out yet, but once he does…"

driftingcloud takes in deep breath, and exhales it softly with a slight upturn to her muzzle. "we'll be the happiest cats on earth. i will make that certain."

sootwhisker blinked owlishly at the younger molly, both shocked and impressed by her speech. "that was.." she stammered, still groping for words.

"unexpected?" driftingcloud laughed, her visage slowly shifting back into that of the bubbly young molly more familiar to her. "i could tell some jokes if that'd make it better. i've got some pretty sweet ones up in 'ere!" she taps her head, grinning mischievously as she did.

"no, no, it's fine. i think i quite like this wise driftingcloud." sootwhisker complimented with a goofy voice, trying to ease them back into their banter. driftingcloud giggled back at her praise.

"aw shucks!"

---

for some reason, creekshine just couldn't focus today. they had come out to collect herbs, but their mind was too fuzzy with restlessness to remain on the task. maybe it was just the settling in process. they had just joined buddingclan after all, and a new environment of both land and clanmates would take a bit to get used to. yes, that must be it.

they continued to stew after that conclusion, eventually concluded that that wasn't it. so what was it that tugged at their mind, telling them to search? their paws kept itching, tickled uncomfortably by the grass underfoot, and so creekshine took off, forgetting about their herbs for now.

it was odd, how once in motion, their pawsteps seemed to automaticslly find their direction. each time their paws so much as brushed the ground, it felt as though the forest itself was pointing him somewhere. soon the presence grew stronger and stronger, nearly setting their mind abuzz with energy, until it dropped off completely.

it took them a moment for them adjust to the absence of this sensation, having to blink their eyes and flick their ringing ears. creekshine only then realized that a new scent filled the air. the overwhelming smell of milk, telltale of a mother in the area. they set their nose to the ground and began to track.

the trail led him to a small cave entrance just outside of buddingclan territory. they took a deep breath, and gently called out, "don't be alarmed. i'm a medicine cat from a nearby clan, and i'm coming in to check on you." creekshine knew the wrath of a protective parent, and did not want to startle them into provocation.

there was silence, long enough to make creekshine doubt that there was any cat inside at all. then, pale green eyes glinted from within, and a weary voice meowed, "you can come in."

creekshine dipped his head to enter, and as their eyes adjusted to the light, they saw the small family. a large grey molly was curled around her two smokey-furred kits. it was apparent that she hadn't just given birth, but the tiny kits were still very young, no more than a few days old.

however, she seemed tired, or perhaps sad, her shoulders slumped as she watched her kits suckle at her belly. however, hope sparked in her eyes when she met the gaze of the silver medicine cat. "who are you?" she questioned, ears flicking forward to catch their words.

"creekshine of buddingclan, at your service ma'am." they gave her a respectful dip of their head. "as i mentioned, i am a medicine cat, although i don't have any herbs on me. i'm sorry i can't assist more."

"oh no, it's fine." the mother assured them, curling her tail instinct around her kits as creekshine came closer to give them a sniff. "none of them are ill," she growled pointedly, and creekshine backed off
"but, if it's not too much to ask," she continued, "we could use the support of a clan."

creekshine nodded. "we have enough space to take you in, i'm sure." they flicked their tail in the direction of the family. "what are your names?" he asked.

"my name is whitestone, and these are my kits, mosskit, goosekit, and cu-" whitestone spaced out for a moment, sorrow overtaking her features. just as creekshine was about to ask if she was okay, she abruptly snapped her jaw shut, and handed them the tomkit with no further elaboration.

then through muffled teeth, she sharply mewed, "i'll follow you." creekshine was still concerned, but figured that whatever she was hiding would come up in its own time, and turned to lead being the family back to camp.

---

"who are those cats?" driftingcloud inquired, eyes peering off into the distance.

the two had gotten over their deep moment, indeed cracking a few jokes, and had then continued with their patrol. now, sootwhisker had fallen in step behind driftingcloud, and had to peer around her in order to see the cats she mentioned.

two cats, seemingly unaware of the patrol's presence walked parallel to the border. both appeared to be about the age of a young warrior. one was smaller, a lean black molly with an elegantly pointed face. she seemed bemused by whatever her companion was saying. her friend was a ginger and white tom, who chattered loudly and vibrantly, using his tails and ears to make exaggerated gestures.

sootwhisker signalled driftingcloud to stay quiet, and the two snuck closer to the pair, who had stopped joking, and had seemingly changed subjects.

"are you sure we can't just… you know, walk in?" the tom complained, his eyes dancing around with boredom.

"no blazestorm, we can't just barge into a clan's territory. they'd take that as a threat, and we'd be attacked." she rolled her eyes, as if it should be obvious, but the tom, blazestorm still looks unconvinced.

"sure, sure, but don't you think we could take them, you and me? you're a 'claw' right? didn't you said that suffix indicated strength or somethin'?" blazestorm practically yawned, and the molly threw her head back in a groan but exasperated and fond.

"first of all, we want to join a clan, not fight one." she put up one claw, then put up another. "secondly, a claw suffix isn't just for brute strength, it's for all kinds of fighting prowess. i don't pack a heavy punch, but i can be quick on my feet and evade attacks while still landing them." she put a third claw. "and finally, we are two cats. there is no way we could 'take on' an entire clan."

"well then, have it your way, princess pansyclaw." He pouted, but at the same time seemed to be on the verge of breaking out into laughter.

driftingcloud smiled beside sootwhisker, wagging her tail in approval. sootwhisker sighed and stepped out of the bushes to greet the duo. "good to see one of you has the sense to not start a fight."

pansyclaw looked proud, blowing a raspberry at the tom who looked unconvincingly aghast. "me? picking a fight? never." pansyclaw rolled her eyes.

"so how would you like to join buddingclan?" asked driftingcloud, cutting right to the chase, eyes wide with excitement. "we would love to!" the dark molly purred, bumping her shoulder into her friend's, who then nodded in agreement.
.
"great! then follow us."

---

cherrykit prowled the outskirts of camp, her pawsteps sure as she patrolled her territory. it wasn't much, she figured, but it was honest work.

the young kit suddenly startled to attention. her pricked ears honed in on a faint rustling in the bushes, and she grinned. "a worthy opponent, perhaps?" she remarked slyly, for simple moss balls were beginning to bore the she-kit.

cherrykit carefully watched the unknown assailant's shadow sift through the bushes. she was a fierce warrior, and she would protect her clan! cherrykit crouched down, wiggling her haunches. with a squeak, not at all intimidating, the kit launched herself into the shrubbery.

cherrykit came face to face with not a predator or a rogue cat, but a rather large rabbit. the moment it saw her, it squealed and sped off, kicking up a cloud of dust right into her face.

cherrykit was not deterred, although she was left coughing and sneezing from the dirt in her mouth. she clawed herself forward with determination, and just as she was about to break free from the bush's snagging grasp, she was stopped right in her tracks. a firm grip wrapped around her tail, giving it a tug, and cherrykit knew immediately who it belonged to. "mama, no!"

cherrykit continued to wail as her mother dragged her out from the bushes. she clung to the ground as she protested, her claws dragging trails in the dirt. almondfur only smiled and shook her head at how cherrykit had apparently "almost landed the final blow," seemingly bemused by her tale.

"so what were you doing?" almondfur asked her disgruntled daughter, her chest shaking with a silent laugh.

cherrykit continued to attest. "i already told you mama, i was just about to catch this huuuge rabbit! it was, like, right there, in my paws!"

"sounds to me like an excuse to get in trouble." her mother meowed smugly, vigorously licking the twigs and leaves out of her daughter's messy pelt. cherrykit groaned and tried to evade her, but any attempts were made in vain.

only after her fur was without a fleck of dirt, did almondfur chastise her. "what if that was a fox or a badger? you could've been hurt, or stolen. you have to wait until you're apprenticed to leave the camp."

cherrykit groaned, flicking her tail in time with her mom's words in a mocking manner. "yeah, yeah..." she assured her half-heartedly. "i got it."

she slunk away, as broodingly as a young kit could manage, undoubtedly to plot her next shenanigans.
however, when she caught sight of two cats just outside the camp entrance, she quickly forgot her woes.

"hey mama! someone's coming!" she called out, just in time for the two to see creekshine return, with a tired queen in tow, each holding a small, smokey kit.

almondfur sensed the concern in the air, rushing to meet them with a mother's urgency. "you should come to the nursery." she urged the queen, gently asking questions as they brought the family there.

cherrykit, an ever curious kit, couldn't resist a sneak peek. she trotted up to her mother unsubtly peering past her at the new, mewling kits and their massive mother. "who are they, mama?"

"her name is whitestone, and her kits are named mosskit and goosekit." almondfur halted in front of the nursery once the medicine cat and the queen had entered, fixing cherrykit with a serious look. "you can't disturb them cherrykit. the kits are too young to play, and i think whitestone needs her rest."

"but, mama!" she whined, "i can be nice!"

"can you?" almondfur prompted her daughter with a raised eyebrow.

cherrykit snapped her mouth shut, suddenly looking like the perfect model of obedience. "i won't bug'em, i promise."

"promise?"

"i promise."

"you better," almondfur purred, nuzzling her gently, and true to her word, cherrykit didn't complain a bit.

---

"very lush, very green. i like, i like!" blazestorm whistled approvingly as him and pansyclaw entered the camp.

"buddingclan is known for its lush territory, and we do take our share of pride in it." sootwhisker informed them, the deputy puffing out her chest a little.

"so boss," blazestorm meowed with a quirked eyebrow. "why don't you give us the grand tour?"

"yeah, that'd be nice." pansyclaw added with a smile.

sootwhisker and driftingcloud shared a glance and a nod. "sure thing!" sootwhisker mewed. "now follow me this way..."

sootwhisker gave them a tour of both the dens and the residents of buddingclan. they chose their moss beds, blazestorm insisting that he sleep next to pansyclaw, who eventually gave in with a roll of her eyes. they shared a bird with their future clanmates, blazestorm striking a chord with cobaltfrost, while pansyclaw and creekshine seemed to enjoy each other's company in a more quiet manner.

driftingcloud, who had left early on in the tour, returned with a concerned expression. "have you seen wrenstar? i can't find him anywhere." sootwhisker frowned. now that she thought about it, the leader was the only one that hadn't been introduced to the newcomers.

"i haven't, sorry." sootwhisker apologized. driftingcloud settled down next to her, still looking a little worried but a little more at ease now that she was next to a friend.

a short time passed, before wrenstar waltzed into camp, ushering a young tortoiseshell molly along with him. "sorry about that." he shyly mewed, tapping the young cat on the shoulder with his tail. "this recruit will be joining buddingclan as an apprentice."

"the name's rosa." she introduced herself bluntly, while staring down the cats in camp with an almost challenging glare. rosa then crossed the camp with a surprising amount of speed, trotting right past the gathering of cats and into the apprentice's den.

"oh dear." wrenstar murmured, noticing the uneasiness the apprentice's brief introduction had left in camp. he settled down next to driftingcloud and sootwhisker, as per usual, and let out a sigh. "sorry, she isn't much for conversation."

"it's alright, i'm sure she'll warm up to us eventually!" driftingcloud mewed encouragingly, ever the positive one.

"well, she did say she was a sent by the ancestors, so i suppose they had a reason for sending her." wrenstar reasoned, nodding slightly.

sootwhisker gave wrenstar a nudge. "so, was that the reason you were out there? finding the clan an apprentice?"

wrenstar froze up for a moment. his eyes flickered nervously to driftingcloud, then back to sootwhisker. "actually." he started, fidgeting his paws nervously. "can i quickly talk to you in private, soothwisker?" when met by a suspicious glance from sootwhisker, and a confused one from driftingcloud, he stammered out, "leaderanddeputystuff, totally."

"okay?" sootwhisker said, getting up to follow him, with skepticism in her eyes.

"cool! sorry, driftingcloud, i’ll be right back!” wrenstar assured her, tensely padding away with sootwhisker trailing behind him. he led her a good ways away from camp, and let out a shaky breath. “it’s not leader and deputy stuff, sootwhisker.”

“so i figured.” she stated, expression deadpan.

wrenstar winced, looking down at his paws and beginning to absentmindedly twitch them about again. “so, as i’m sure you know…” he took a deep breath, face scrunching up as though in pain. “i.. really like... driftingcloud.”

“by the stars, that took you long enough!” sootwhisker practically howled, and wrenstar fixed her with a sharp look, frantically shushing her. he sheepishly looked away, eyes fixing themselves on the silhoeutte of the hearttree in the distance.

“i’m ready now, and i’m planning to propose to her tonight. i’ve got everything ready and all, i just need an excuse to get us out there.” he paused, giving his friend a goofy grin strained with anxiety. “and, i also happen to be incredibly nervous.”

“you’re being quite honest today, wrenstar.” sootwhisker gave him a teasing tap on the head, which caused the tom to hiss out a string of flustered words. the deputy smiled fondly, and reached around his shoulders to pull him into an embrace. after a moment of him half-heartedly attempting to squirm out of her grip, she freed him, but kept a firm grip on his shoulders.

"you've got this!" sootwhisker assured him, eyes intense and smile encouraging. "i know you're afraid right now, but i'm certain she loves you. i'm certain you're good enough, and i'm certain this is the best decision you'll ever make. i'm saying this not as your deputy, but as your friend, alright?"

wrenstar still twitched about here and there, but the frantic energy in his eyes seemed to have calmed. "thanks, sootwhisker. i suppose that helped…"

"you bet." sootwhisker purred cheekily, ruffling the fur on his head.

"hey! don't! i just fixed my fur!"

"well, actually, a little birdy told me that she likes your fur a wee bit messy."

"i- wait, what?"

---

driftingcloud jumped to her feet the moment the leader and deputy returned from their talk. she cheerfully butted heads with wrenstar, as sootwhisker snorted with amusement.

"how'd your chat go?" drifitingcloud asked curiously. wrenstar seemed to choke up, posture stiffening, but sootwhisker quickly jumped in to cover for him.

"went alright." she commented, before explaining, "he was worrying about the integrity of the dens, so we discussed sending out more supply patrols." she reached a paw onto the bramble covering of the warrior's den jostling the twigs around to make her point. she then smoothly continued, "speaking of… how would you and wrenstar like to go on one?"

driftingcloud purred warmly at the prospect. "i'd love to! how about you, wrenstar?" the tom in question nodded mutely with a distracted smile.

sootwhisker settled on her haunches to rub her paws together. "then it's settled. head out to the hearttree, there's always good foliage there." driftingcloud nodded and the two began to pad away, sides pressed snugly together.

at the camp entrance, the tom halted suddenly. he swiveled his head back ever so slightly to cast a tense glance at his friend and deputy.

(cat thunbs up?)

---

"here's some moss!" driftingcloud called out, signalling to the leader with a flick of her tail.

wrenstar peeked his head ot over the bushes by propping hinself up on his hind legs. "that's good!" he chirped, sending frequent glances towards the hearttree. driftingcloud picked up on his nervous energy, tilting her head worriedly.

"oh, wrenstar, are you alright? your mind seems to be elsewhere." wrenstar startled, toppling backwards. he recovered though, flicking his paw at her dismissively.

"i'm alright. i think i'm going to search for ferns near the hearttree." he sent one last look towards the tallest tree, dropping back to the ground and out of sight. "catch up once you're done scraping off the moss." was his final remark, before the crunching of leaves signalled his departure.

"if you say so." driftingcloud said with a shrug, and although his odd behaviour remained inthe back of her thoughts, she set her paws to scraping.

---

as soon as he was out of earshot, wrenstar let out a whimper, both nervous and excited. he then sprinted as fast as he could to the the hearttree. he had made a trail for her to find him, and he only hoped she'd follow his scent through the grass.

he weaved through the grasses, carefully stepping as to not disturb his work.

╰☆☆ ℓαsт мσση ☆☆╮
“I give you your warrior name, Dovestrike. Keep up your perseverance.” Morningstar rested her muzzle on the new warrior’s head. TwistedClan cheered and Petalfall and Patchnose were the loudest. Morningstar let the sound of her cats wash over her. What started off as happy cheering soon morphed into ominous chanting in her ears. She could have sworn low growls even were mixed in with the chanting. Her eyes snapped open. There were no monsters, no beasts. Just joyful cheering. But that didn’t help the lump of dread hidden in Morningstar’s mind.

╰☆☆ ρяεsεηт ☆☆╮
The air could be cut by a claw with all of the tension held in camp. Graybelly was expecting Minnowflash’s kits, but the tom did not seem very excited about the prospect of becoming a father. Sunchaser seemed cagey, trying to avoid any heavy topics and stick with small talk about weather. Morningstar was still lethargic and tense with everyone, including Ruststripe. Neritefang was sulking in retirement even snapping at the kits at times. Stonefrost still hadn’t recovered from his mate’s death, spending most of his time at the Burial Site. The only boisterous sounds were from the scuffling of the older kits and the laughing apprentices. Even the youngest warriors were subdued by the uneasy tensions. Something was happening in their forest but what?
•••••••••••••••••••••
Morningstar led her patrol in the new-leaf breeze mostly in silence. They were looking for materials to patch up the cabin to prepare for any rain or storms. Following behind her was Finchflight, Thistlefur, Petalfall, Dovestrike, and Jaywhistle. Thistlefur exclaimed “Here’s a dead bush, we can snag some twigs!” Petalfall and Dovestrike bounded over to collect as many as they could carry.
Finchflight stretched her neck. “Should we check down by the creek for some clay?” She asked the others. “Then we’ll have something to hold everything in place.” Morningstar gave a sharp nod. Before the three cats could continue, a deep growl sent their fur bristling. “Did you here that?”
Morningstar surveyed the area, only now catching the soft glint of eyes staring from beyond the brush. “There.” She murmured, pointing her tail to the culprit. She willed the other half of the patrol to quiet down as they had not realized anything was off yet. Too late, Morningstar sneered in annoyance. Petalfall had just turned to show off the amount of sticks she had gathered when a loud bark (more like a deep BOOF) sent the twigs spilling onto the dirt. “Dog!” Morningstar shouted. She didn’t want to even look when the beast stepped into view if its voice was any indicator of its size. However, she could not fight it off with her eyes closed, so she also stepped towards it. The dog was quite large, larger than the first dogs they had run off of the territory. The dog seemed to be alone, its head twitching from side to side and face already scratched from stumbling around in the bushes. It swayed on its feet and a white foaming substance dripped from its maw. Its once sleek black and brown coat was caked with dried mud. BOOF. It took a second, but its eyes eventually locked on the small calico with a twisted paw. Morningstar stood still in its path, wanting the beast to swipe at her first rather than her clanmates. It only took one swipe from the lumbering beast to knock her to her feet, but Finchflight and Jaywhistle were quick to jump to her defense. Jaywhistle was surprised to find the dog did not have a tail and without a longhaired coat to snag onto, he was left swiping at its lanky legs. Finchflight jumped for the throat but she received a bite on her back, instantly breaking her spine leaving her dead on the grass. Thistlefur, Petalfall, and Dovestrike ran to join the fight as well. Morningstar shook drops of blood and foam from her head. “Go for the throat!” She ordered. Dovestrike leaped up leaving a good claw mark on the dog’s heaving chest and sustained a ripped ear with a shriek. Petalfall snarled and attacked its shoulders, letting her sister escape its reach. The dog scuttled away in a crouch and took a second to refocus its beady eyes. It lunged once more, and Morningstar twisted to avoid its jaws. The beast’s weight landed on her back legs, sending her sprawling. A sharp slice to her belly left her there bleeding, just waiting for StarClan to reclaim another one of her lives. As the world was fading to black, she witnessed Jaywhistle and Petalfall coming at the dog with teeth and claws bared from both sides.
•••••••••••••••••••••
Morningstar refused any help making it back to camp. She half-dragged herself all the way back to the cabin, following Thistlefur and Petalfall carrying the fallen Finchflight. Dovestrike trailed behind Morningstar, blood covering the right half of her face where most of her ear was missing. “Are you alright?” Silverstem yowled in surprise. She shooed Mallardwing away with her kits and rushed to meet the frazzled patrol. “Galalight!” The medicine cat ushered them back to the medicine cat bush to be treated. She first wrapped Dovestrike’s ear, or rather what was remaining of it, and then prodded at Morningstar’s back legs. One leg could be easily set, but the other was too mangled to help. The entire lower half of her leg was almost twisted completely backwards and stiff.
“I’m not sure what I’ll do with your right leg but let me set the other.” Galalight grabbed a stick for a brace.
“Don’t bother with the other.” The leader’s voice was gruff. “It doesn’t matter anymore.”
“Don’t be ridiculous!” Ruststripe had pushed past the crowd that was now forming around the injured cats. “Do whatever you feel necessary.”
“LEAVE ME BE!” Morningstar yowled at the top of her lungs. “Obviously I am not fit to be any sort of leader and StarClan has made it clear that they want me to suffer. Leave me alone.” Sunchaser shooed the gathering clan back.
“Is she going to be okay?” Tigerpaw asked quietly. Cinderpaw and Riverpaw also watched the deputy with sad eyes. They all knew how much stress their mother was under, but she usually kept up appearances for the cats.
“She’s just…” Sunchaser was going to give some excuse about shock, but he couldn’t find it in his heart to lie. “I’m not sure. She’s having a really hard time right now. Why don’t you go comfort the younger apprentices? I’m sure they’re just as confused.” He noticed Ruststripe now standing at his shoulder. “Sorry if I overstepped any boundaries.”
“That’s alright.” Ruststripe sighed. “You know Morningstar better than I do now anyway.” The deputy opened his mouth to apologize once more but he stopped him. “No, I understand it’s nothing like that.” Ruststripe assured. “I just want to be able to support her more, but she won’t let me.”
The two toms stood silently. Sunchaser kept trying to turn his thoughts back to Morningstar and her mental breakdown, but he kept replaying the amount of blood on Dovestrike’s face. Would she become…Crazed as Marsh was recounting? Because there was something dark happening in their forest, and it seemed that even when cats didn’t die from their injuries, they eventually succumbed to…something. Rainsong would be devastated if one of her kits, who just became warriors as well, died. And Sunchaser would be too. After all, he did help raise them and everyone assumed he was their father in the first place. But now with Morningstar not in the right mindset, only Galalight and himself knew about the prophecy, and Galalight already had a lot of responsibilities thrusted upon her. Sunchaser came to his decision. “Ruststripe, would you mind going somewhere more private? I have some information that may be important for you to know…”
•••••••••••••••••••••
“Let all cats able to climb a…” Morningstar scowled. This usually call wouldn’t do as she could not even climb to announce anything from the Ceremony Tree anymore. “TwistedClan, gather here before me!” The cats streamed out of the cabin, slightly confused at the summons this early in the morning. Sunchaser and Ruststripe took their places off to the side of the leader, and it was clear that even they didn’t know what Morningstar was going to say. “I know everybody is unsure about TwistedClan’s future. I am as well.” She paused making sure she said her words correctly. “I will not step down as leader. I have four lives left and am more than willing to lose those lives for TwistedClan. However, I am no longer Morningstar. That name doesn’t represent me anymore. I chose the name Morningstar at the dawn of a brand-new clan, and now that clan is not the bright, happy clan it once was. I shall take the name Twistedstar signaling I have fought for my clan and will absolutely die for my clan.”
There was one new calculating face in the crowd of TwistedClan. Darkmist, formerly Darkstar of Lucid Shadows, had found the clan recovering from the latest attack. Her eyes narrowed. Could an opportunity to regain her leader status be approaching?

Season:

New-Leaf

Weather:

Prey is abundant during these times, chances of running into predators are low because of this. However there is an increased chance of running into other cats as they look for the best places to stay while they can. Either that or their old homes have been flooded by the melting snow.

Announcement:

If I made a mistake please don't be afraid to pm me!
Please see the new changes found on the front page.
There are two lists for herbs; one, two

steamclan and wardclan aren't as lonely as they seem as a new group has just settled in the city: hiddenclan. they've made the area's abandoned mall their new camp and keep out of sight by using the old sewer tunnels to get where they need to go on patrols through the city. these cats are evasive, scheming, and defensive - even among each other. alongside the standard hunting and border patrols, some members are chosen to gather materials through other means: trading secrets with unaffiliated cats in the city. hiddenclan uses their secrecy to their advantage by spying on curious happenings from afar, and if the information is worthwhile, they offer these anecdotes in exchange for prey and materials.

starting over my second clan! i'd like to take astra, ivor, cadence, blythe, and reaper into this one. i'll be putting up the rest of the cats from my old clan up for adoption.

Hiddenclan has been founded!
Kat will choose your mod.

Runningnight and Skyfur laughed together as they went out for patrol. Swiftstar sat with Willowbreeze as she sorted through her medicine stores. "Willowbreeze, what is exactly love like? Is it a feeling you get in your chest that makes you feel alive, or is it instinct to make more kits?" Swiftstar asked his Herald. Willowbreeze said nothing for a few seconds before saying "It's complicated, and I can't describe it. Anyways, I'm going to get more den materials.". "Well, I might as well hunt for the clan. I bet I can get some beaver if I can find a river." Swiftstar said as he stood up and left camp. He never felt love like Runningnight and Skyfur, and he wished he could find it soon.

Swiftstar hunts, Runningnight and Skyfur try for kits and go on a patrol, Willowbreeze looks for den materials.

𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐨.

Whisperwind's pads were silent against the camp's rocky ground as he circled his target. His eyes gleamed as he crouched, and launched forward without a sound, focusing intently on the she-cat in front of him. Bearears' ear swiveled toward him, and as he was airborne, she spun, kicking her back legs up to catch him in the chest. Whisperwind hit the ground on his shoulder and rolled to his paws, watching her ears shift this way and that, listening for any sound of him as he noiselessly slipped around her side, creeping closer.
"Four tails on your left," Magpiefeather said, and Whisperwind only had time to shoot her a glare before Bearears launched forward, digging her teeth into his scruff and tossing him onto his back. Whisperwind rolled to his paws again and scampered away, trying to hide his smile from Magpiefeather's booming laugh. He schooled his expression and turned on her.
"Not helping," he said, ducking away from Bearears' paw as she swiped at his head with a purr.
"On the contrary, this is very helpful."
"It's cheating!" Whisperwind protested, skittering clear of Bearears again as she advanced on him, ears trained on the sound of pebbles scattering underfoot. Magpiefeather laughed again, the tail end of it morphing into a cough. Poppywish shot the pair of them a glare, but he couldn't feign enough irritation for it to stick.
"You two are going to give her a chest infection," he said, as Magpiefeather snorted dismissively and waved him away with her tail.
"Oh, I'll be fine, stop your fussing. I've had my fair share of greencough and it hasn't managed to kill me yet." Poppywish gave her a stern glance for a moment, before apparently deciding he was fighting an uphill battle with a drawn-out exasperated groan.
"Operative word being 'yet', Magpiefeather, but if you insist on catching your death of a chill I suppose there's not really any stopping you, is there?" The black and white molly rumbled a laugh, shaking her head good-naturedly.
"There is not. You'd do well to lighten up, Poppywish, you've been cranky for the past few moons. Besides, if greencough finally manages to kill me this time, at least I'll walk to the stars having seen these two getting better. Bearears should be ready for patrol in no time." The younger molly ducked her head bashfully, casting a small smile at her paws as she covered them with her tail.
"I don't know about that... but however ready I am, I owe it to Whisperwind. It can't have been easy to get Sleetstar to agree to letting you stay behind, especially not with Minkfur out for kits and so many mentors caught up with apprentices. I would have thought it would have been all paws on deck but... whatever the reason she let you help me, I'm glad she did."
"She's been in good spirits lately, actually," Whisperwind blinked, contemplative, "I suppose it's a little odd considering we usually don't see eye to eye, but she's been... better. Happier, I think, which seems weird to say when everyone can see how she and Summitsky are falling apart but... well. I've never been able to figure out what's going on inside her head."
"And that's my cue," Poppywish got to his paws, "I don't do gossip. Magpiefeather, I have some more of that honey and crushed ginger poultice for you, so let's get going, and then you can come back to annoying these two. No I can't carry it down to you, the answer is I'm physically capable I just don't want to, and I have better things to do than play ferry medicine cat when you're clearly well enough to be up and about." Magpiefeather rolled her eyes and mouthed 'cranky' at the two young warriors as she pushed to her paws, trailing after the ginger tom to the medicine den.
"I mean it, you know," Bearears said, "I owe everything to you. Thank you for believing in me."
"You don't have to thank me for that, Bearears. I owed it to you, for everything you did for Galepaw. I know it'll probably take some time to get over the trauma and get back out there, but... well. You're back on your paws now, and that's an improvement, and I won't judge you for however long it takes. Whatever you've been through, both here and before, you deserve your own time to deal with that."
"Thank you, Whisperwind," Bearears said with a small smile. They sat in silence for a moment, a comfortable companionship hanging between them, before Bearears spoke again. "W'wiye."
"Pardon?"
"When I told stories, I spoke of secret names our clan had, names that only you and those important to you would know. Before here, only my family and my mate knew, and now I have carried the burden of it alone. But... you are my family here, Whisperwind. And so you should know it."
"I'll treasure it," Whisperwind said earnestly, "share the... burden of the secret with you."
"There's no one better," Bearears said, before she lashed out suddenly, making Whisperwind yowl in surprise as she smashed his paws out from under him with a smug purr, "but your reflexes could use some work."

-

"Augh!" Emberpaw glowered at her brother, dripping wet from his splash. With a booming laugh, Flamepaw skittered back out of range of her attack, before he yowled in surprise as Brackenstrike upended a massive spray of water onto him. Fallowstep, bedraggled and soaked to the bone was laughing so hard he was close to keeling over in the shallows of the river.
"I'm not sure this is teaching them anything," he said, narrowly managing to sprint out of range of the crossfire. Brackenstrike laughed, splashing water at the apprentices who had forgotten their feud in favour of teaming up against the large she-cat. In the Newleaf afternoon, the sun made them feel warm, even chest-deep in the cool water of the eastern river. The size of their apprentices still astounded Brackenstrike. It seemed not long ago that Emberpaw and Flamepaw hadn't even reached her chest, and now they were almost full grown.
"That's half the fun of it!" Brackenstrike called back with a laugh, splashing the apprentices and making them yowl. Emberpaw was petite like her fathers, slim and leggy, but Flamepaw seemed to have inherited his height from perhaps a grandparent, as he neared Brackenstrike in height. He looked smaller by virtue of being leaner, with spindly legs, but there was no denying how big he'd gotten since he'd first joined the clan. Nonetheless, it was still easy enough for Brackenstrike to knock his paws out from under him and douse him in water, before retreating to join Fallowstep at the riverbank, leaving them to play.
"Newleaf is shaping up to be surprisingly warm," he said, shaking out his fur, "I remember last year it was still bitterly cold, but it's definitely not too cold to swim, and it's still early days yet."
"Trust me, hot summers don't bring much relief out this way," Brackenstrike shook out her fur like a dog, making Fallowstep grunt and duck away from the spray, "there's still just as much trouble to be had with that kind of weather, so you better starting praying to StarClan that they give us a break this time around. I think that the clan could really benefit from not having to deal with the same stuff as we did last year."
"Old wounds healing and all that," Fallowstep agreed, watching Emberpaw and Flamepaw shriek and splash each other, "it seems like it was just yesterday we lost Galepaw, and yet it still seems long ago. And now Whisperwind's a warrior and Flamepaw and Emberpaw will be almost ready to take their warrior assessments. Sure, there's still... cracks in the clan, but for the most part, things seem to be okay again, and I for one would really like everything to calm down." They fell silent for a bit, before Brackenstrike slid her eyes sideways to Fallowstep's troubled face.
"Are you hoping that if things calm down, you'll be able to go and find your kits?" Fallowstep's eyes closed, and he sighed.
"No," he said finally, "I mean... I thought about it, a lot. The first time I had the opportunity to be a father, I failed miserably, and that's my fault even if I wasn't ready. I should have been more responsible. But this time... Ravencall and I finally made nice after all this time, and now I don't know where she is, or if her kits are with her but... I can't help but hope that one day they come back to us. I want to be a dad. I want to have kits, with Hawkeyes, but... I guess the universe has other plans."
"Well... it's good kitting season now. Have you talked to Hawkeyes about finding a surrogate?" Fallowstep shook his head a little.
"No... I guess I'm half afraid that it'll feel like abandoning our kits that we have out there, you know? Like we've given up all hope on having them return to us." Brackenstrike's smile was kind, as she nodded knowingly.
"I understand. But if you want my advice...?"
"Please."
"Live in the present, Fallowstep. Tomorrow is unsure and hope is the greatest strength we can be afforded, but maintaining hope does not mean you have to stagnate in anticipation for what could be. If they return to you, they'll understand. I promise you that." Fallowstep gave her a shy smile.
"You give good speeches, lady." He said, and Brackenstrike's laugh filled up the afternoon air.

-

"Is she going to be okay?" Winderstrike watched Poppywish as he darted back and forth between his medicine supply and Viridianfire. The little molly was seated in a medicine nest, one eye squeezed closed and fur a little damp where Poppywish had dabbed away the blood. The other green eye was watching him flit back and forth, before her gaze settled on Winderstrike with a reassuring smile.
"I'm fine."
"You wince every time you try to open that eye, Viridianfire, you're clearly not fine." The molly rolled her good eye with an irritated huff at the racing medicine cat.
"Well, I'm not dying, so that constitutes as fine to me. Besides, I think Winderstrike could do with some peace of mind right now, or you're gonna be treating the poor guy for a panic attack." Winderstrike tried to glare at her, but the guilt immediately wracked his features again as he gave Viridianfire a stare that could only be described as plaintive.
"I'm so sorry, Viridianfire."
"Easy! It's not like you conjured up a freak snowstorm on a perfectly sunny day. You did the best you could, it was an accident, and it's unlikely either of us could have prevented it. We shouldn't have been out in that kind of weather in the first place, but we needed to find shelter and we both agreed on that so it's at least partially my fault, and like I said, I'm not dying. It's just an eye." Winderstrike didn't look much happier about that, but he didn't get time to respond as Sunnynose burst into the den.
"What happened? Are you okay? Sleetstar said someone was injured on border patrol-"
"Do NOT clog up this den!" Poppywish's voice ricocheted off the walls of the den, and Sunnynose exchanged a glance with his mate, who gave him a small, tight smile that seemed to reassure the ginger tom that his mate was okay. Emberpaw and Flamepaw hovered at the mouth of the den, backpedaling as Sunnynose turned tail and scampered out again, leaving Viridianfire and Winderstrike in fraught silence. The skittering of paws broke the stretch as Koishimmer shouldered her way into the den with Birchfang and Waspshine close on her heels.
"Viridianfire-"
"What did I just say!" Poppywish groaned, glaring over his shoulder at them. "Fine! Run mad! There's chaos enough in the clan anyway, I suppose lawlessness like this won't make any difference!" Winderstrike exchanged an amused glance with the other warriors, before he gave Viridianfire one last, worried look.
"I'm gonna go check on Sunnynose," he said, "he'll want to hear it from me that I'm alright." Viridianfire nodded, and the tom got to his paws, nudging Birchfang's shoulder as he passed. The other looked a little confused for a moment, before he brightened, and turned to Waspshine with a mischeivous twinkle in his eyes.
"Hey, Waspshine, remember that thing I wanted to talk to you about?"
"Noooooooooooooooooh yeah!" Waspshine nodded fervently, casting a fleeting glance at Koishimmer and Viridianfire, who watched them with twin flat stares. "Right uh, that super important thing. Uber important. Yeah." He got to his paws and fled from the medicine den with Birchfang hot on his tail, sending Koishimmer a conspiratorial wink before he bounded out of sight. The calico rolled her eyes as Viridianfire stifled a laugh.
"They're not very subtle."
"Whatever. I didn't ask them to do that."
"Of course not," she purred, "but you did charge in here like your tail was on fire. Worried?"
"Maybe. You gonna make fun of me if I say yes?"
"Oh, only a little." Koishimmer rolled her eyes, but a smile graced her maw nonetheless, as she settled next to Viridianfire's next with her tail wrapped around her paws.
"We heard whispers someone had been hurt on border patrol, and then someone said it was you and I guess... yeah, I was worried. I mean, you and Birchfang are kind of my only friends and lately I've been playing third wheel to those two so... you can't die on me, okay? I can't deal with their terrible flirting on my own. It'll literally drive me insane." Viridianfire laughed, as Koishimmer paused. "How is it, really? How are you?"
"It hurts like the mother of a dog," Viridianfire admitted with a shrug, "but I'll live. I trust Poppywish to keep me alive, and the way he's running around like a burning branch got tied to his tail, well... I know it's not looking good but it really is just an eye. It'll take me a while to adjust, but Whisperwind has a jump on training blind warriors so don't worry, Sleetstar's not gonna banish me for being useless or anything." Koishimmer glared.
"That's not funny."
"It's kind of funny. It's a little funny, right Poppywish?" The ginger tom shrugged.
"Admittedly."
"Whatever," Koishimmer rolled her eyes, but her expression softened quickly, "but... uh. Well. I'm... here for you, okay? So... if it ever gets too much, just know... I'm a shoulder that you can lean on." Viridianfire gave her a smile to match Koishimmer's own shy one, before Poppywish crossed her line of vision, shooing her with his tail.
"Enough making eyes, I have a patient to treat." Virdianfire laughed, smiling after Koishimmer as she ducked her head, and retreated from the medicine den with a singular backward glance, lit by the flurry of snow bearing down on the Newleaf night, before she vanished into the storm.

"This is really high up," Silverkit announced, without much fear in her voice. It had been easy enough to escape the nursery. Sorrelsong had been taking a nap, Rivermask and Minkfur had been bickering about yet another story they disagreed on, thus making it easy for their troublesome kittens to slip away from the game of mossball with their sisters in order to wander nonchalantly down the cliffside.
"It's cool, right?" Sprucekit asked, peering over the edge.
"Totally." Silverkit exchanged a grin with her best friend, before she recoiled as a smell wafted toward her on the air. "Eugh. What is that!" Sprucekit scented the air, a thoughtful look overcoming his facial features, before he brightened, ears pricking forward excitedly.
"Oh! Poppywish has that scent on him all the time. I'll bet that's his den. I've always wanted to see where he sleeps."
"Uh... why?"
"Just 'cause." He shrugged. "I dunno, Poppywish is weird right? He sleeps away from all the other cats and everything, like Sleetstar does, but I heard Mom saying that's only because Sleetstar and Summitsky aren't very happy with each other right now, but Poppywish always sleeps alone."
"That's not what my mom said," Silverkit sniffed, "she said that Howlingeye used to stay with Poppywish in his nest but she said that Dad said that Howlingeye has been purposefully dodging Poppywish for the past couple of moons so they're 'on the rocks' too."
"And that... means something to you?"
"No," Silverkit shrugged, "I don't even know who Howlingeye is."
"Neither," Sprucekit nodded sagely, before he flicked his eyes toward the den entrance, "still... feel up for an adventure?" Silverkit grinned, and surged forward, leaving the tabby tom to chase her in order to catch up. The pair of them scampered down the rise, careful to stay out of Whisperwind's line of sight, where he and Bearears were training in the camp with Magpiefeather looking on. Together, they ducked into Poppywish's den, eyes widening almost immediately.
It was much warmer in the medicine den than it was in the others, warmer than even the nursery. The walls were covered in naturally growing lichen that insulated against the cold stone, hollows in the twisting cavern shielding nests from the wind. The nests themselves were soft and downy, meticulously maintained with feathers and moss. And lighting the cave, protruding from the lichen, were glowing plants that lit up the dim space, shining albeit dully in the sunlight.
"Whoa," said Silverkit, and Viridianfire lifted her head from her nest.
"You two aren't supposed to be here," she said, sounding amused. From behind them, a distressed noise drew their attention towards a harried looking Poppywish, who promptly dropped a bundle of herbs from his gaping maw. Clearly, the sight of the two escaped kittens had shocked him beyond belief, which was fair enough since the previous inhabitants of the nursery had all been exceedingly well-behaved, but the knowledge that Thunderjaw and Rivermask's blood ran in the veins of the kittens before him sent him spluttering back to his wits.
"You're supposed to be in the nursery-" he started, but Sprucekit's eyes had already lighted on the bundle of herbs at his paws.
"Fresh herbs! We'll help you put them away, Poppywish!" He declared, darting forward to snatch up the bundle. He and Silverkit sprinted deeper into the cavern, Poppywish hurrying behind with a protesting yowl. Laughing almost hysterically, Viridianfire got up to follow him as he barked orders at the kits.
"Do not touch that! Sprucekit, put those down, you don't know where they--- no! Don't mix them up- Silverkit get away from the poppy seeds don't touch those! Augh, Sprucekit, get your nose out of the honey- don't touch my turtle sh- Silverkit! Ugh!" He turned to Viridianfire, exasperated and beyond frazzled as she simply continued to laugh, the sound of her mirth having brought her temporary den-mate and her friend back to the mouth of the cave.
"What's going on?" Asked Whisperwind.
"It sounds like Poppywish is dying," added Bearears.
"Painfully," agreed Magpiefeather.
"Silverkit and Sprucekit escaped the nursery and are taking up a prospective career as Poppywish's apprentices."
"Don't give them any ideas!" The ginger snapped, having finally managed to get his bundle of herbs back. "Misfortune befalls anyone who has either of them as an apprentice, let alone both of them at the same time. Now will someone please get them back to the nursery? Whisperwind?!" The white tom was laughing, so hard his shoulders were shaking, as he nodded his head to Silverkit and her accomplice.
"Come on, you'll have plenty of time to annoy Poppywish another day, but your moms are probably worried since you scrambled off without telling them where you were going." Silverkit sighed, but nodding, bouncing toward Whisperwind with Sprucekit hot on her tail. As they reached the entrance, he turned to call out to Poppywish, his eyes twinkling with delight.
"I'll be back! You haven't seen the last of me yet!" As his boisterous laugh faded into Minkfur's amused one and Rivermask's apologies to Whisperwind who sounded like he was trying to hold back a fit of hysterics, the three mollies inside the den swiveled their heads to watch Poppywish, who sighed, shoulders sagging as he turned back to his herbs.
"Don't mind me, ladies, just wondering where I went wrong to start receiving threats from kits."

-

"Hey," Summitsky jumped a little, turning to find Sleetstar watching him, fidgeting a little under his gaze, "do you mind if we... talk?" Summitsky's stomach dropped a little. The events of the 'talk' were fairly obvious to him, but the fact that Sleetstar was willing to come to him, instead of the passing smiles and amicable small talk that had dominated the past few moons meant at least a little to him. He nodded, and together, they made their way up the cliffside to Sleetstar's den. The silence that stretched between them was fragile and uneasy, as Sleetstar looked at her paws, and then took a deep breath.
"These... past few moons I haven't been good to you, I haven't been fair, and I haven't been a mother to our kits. It's a lot of failures on my part, and I'm sorry for them but I know that doesn't change much. I know you must have a million questions... and I want to answer them. If I can. It's the fairest I can be after... everything." Summitsky blinked, and then tilted his head back to the ceiling as if to look contemplative, even though the question he already knew he would ask had been burning at the back of his mind for weeks as Midnightblaze slept soundly next to him in the warrior's den.
"Do you... did you really not want our kits?" Sleetstar glanced away, brow furrowing for a moment.
"Just a few weeks ago... I would have made some weaselly excuse about it being more complicated than that, but... I didn't want to have this talk until I felt that I could be one hundred percent honest with you, because that's what you deserve. The short answer is no-" Summitsky sucked in a breath- "and the long answer still equates to it for a number of reasons, but I understand if you don't want to hear them."
"I do. I want to understand."
"I know," Sleetstar's voice was choked, and Summitsky moved closer to her instinctively, pressing their shoulders together as she took a steadying breath, "I was... I wasn't ready, and I think you knew that, and I knew that too, and it put pressure on me because I was still figuring things out, and then the attack... and I felt guilty that I didn't stop it. That I couldn't do anything. That I had to hide away. But even before that... I deceived you, and I understand if you can't forgive me."
"Hey, come on. What's going on?" Summitsky touched his nose to her cheek, surprised when she turned her head and pulled away.
"Northstar came to me at the Moonstone," she said with a venom to her tone, "and told me that before Leaf-fall I would have kits, or else. For a while I thought little of 'or else' until she sent Midnightblaze to intimidate me. I know he didn't want to, I see how good he is in how he interacts with you, and the rest of the clan, and I've no doubt that Koishimmer was a warning from Northstar since he failed to keep me in line. But... I was afraid and I didn't want to lose my 'second chance'. And so I put you in the middle of it."
"So... it was all a lie?" Sleetstar gritted her teeth at the pain in Summitsky's voice, and her own wavered when she answered.
"Yes. I'm so, so sorry. In another lifetime, I think I could have loved you. Should have loved you, if I knew what was good for me, but... well. I think you know the 'but' in this situation."
"You're still in love with her."
"You sound less hurt by that than I expected you to be."
"I..." Summitsky paused, "I am hurt. Of course I am. You lied to me, and you used me, and we brought two wonderful kits into this world with a foundation that wouldn't last, and I've been on the outside of all this, but... really what hurts me the most is that you didn't trust me to tell me what was going on. If you'd asked, if you'd told me then... I would have done it anyway. I would do anythin-"
"I know," she cut him off, shaking her head, "please don't say it. Please. It's already hard enough as it is, and I know this is all my fault and I don't get to complain about it being hard but-"
"Why tell me now?" Summitsky asked, tilting his head. "I mean, I know this is coming to an end, I'm not stupid, but... you didn't have to be honest with me, and yet here you are." Sleetstar lifted her head then, squared her shoulders and met his eye.
"Like I said, it's what you deserve. I've realized how much this fear has caused hurt, and hurt to cats that I care about. What good is a second chance at life if I let somebody else live it for me? I don't want to be afraid anymore. I want to be better- to live better and to do better, and part of that means coming clean about the mistakes I've made and trying to move forward from there. You are not a mistake. My mistake was in putting you in harm's way which is the last thing you've ever deserved. You've been nothing but supportive and kind, Summitsky, and I took you for granted and put my frustrations on you when I had no right to do so in the first place. My deepest regret will always be how much I hurt you, and I know I can't take back that hurt now, and I understand if you want nothing to do with me anymore, but I-"
"You're still trying to push me away," Summitsky said gently. Sleetstar's mouth closed, and then opened. And then closed again. After a long pause, she spoke again, tentative and curious.
"You're not... mad? You don't hate me?"
"I don't... love this whole conversation, no," he said, shaking his head, "I just can't believe you've been carrying this burden the whole time, on your own. Or... maybe not on your own, but I know you well enough by now to know you consider yourself some kind of a martyr." Sleetstar choked out a laugh, shaking her head.
"Thunderjaw was my confidant for a long time because he seemed to be as suspicious as I was, whereas everyone else seemed to accept it, but he's been... distant. Weird and cagey, and then he's been busy with Minkfur and the kits recently so... alone for a while now, yes. I'm really sorry I didn't tell you sooner, and I know it doesn't excuse the things I've done." She cleared her throat. "So let me rephrase. I don't want this to rip our family apart. I want to be there for my kits. For our kits. To try and be a mother to them, because they deserve better than my resentment for a choice I made, but... I don't think we can do that if we stay together. I don't want to live that lie, and you deserve much, much better than that. But... if you'd be okay with it, I want to stay friends, like we should have from the start." Summitsky quirked a sad smile at her.
"Break a guy's heart and ask him to still be friends immediately afterwards? Cold." She glared.
"I didn't mean immediately. Obviously if you need time to forgive me you can take all the time you need, I-"
"Sleetstar," he laughed gently, "I was teasing. Maybe it's a poor time for jokes but... I'm trying to be positive here. I came in here fully expecting to be dumped with the caveat of never speaking to each other again and using Midnightblaze as an inbetween, so at least I know there's a reason- if not a seriously messed up one- for why this all went wrong, and that it's not just me. I think things will take a bit to get back to normal, since I have some... feelings that I need to work out, but ultimately I'm on the same page as you. We've both known this wasn't working for a long time now, and I think it's better off that we end it. But... I do want to stay friends, as long as you promise not to shut me out again."
"Promise," she said firmly, with a smile, "swear it. On all nine of my lives."
"It's serious then, friend." Sleetstar let out a choked laugh, her body sagging against Summitsky's with exhaustion as he leaned his head against hers, savouring in that bittersweet last moment of intimacy, before he pulled away. "I just have one last question."
"What is it?"
"What are you going to do about Northstar? Surely she must know you're planning to... rebel."
"I don't know," Sleetstar replied earnestly, before her eyes blazed with determination. "But she can try whatever she likes. This is my life, and my clan, and this time I'm not letting her do anything to cause it harm."
