"Mistrunner... I'm so sorry... Please, please forgive me."
"I love you."
Did he imagine it? Or did his beloved Mistrunner speak to him?
-
Jaggedsnow, a mentally tortured tom, destined to the Dark Forest unless he can right his wrongs and let those who've lost rest in peace. Jaggedsnow lived in Hollowclan, but due to his mother's betrayal against the clan, he felt the urge to betray too. Why would his mother betray without reason? The answer was clear - Jaggedsnow must have been part of a prophecy and she had tried to lead him in the right direction. As a warrior, he started planning to get the neighboring clan to attack them, to kill his leader and medicine cat to 'fullfill' his destiny. But he had to postpone his plan when he fell for Mistrunner, the clan's sweetheart. She, being the hopeless she-cat she was, fell for him too and soon bore his kits - three lovely kits. But Jaggedsnow could not postpone his plan any longer. Shortly after the birth of his kits, Jaggedsnow contacted Peakclan and the latter attacked the next day. However, the plan was not perfectly executed; a fellow queen Nightfeather and her best friend Leaffur had followed him to the clan and, without hearing the plan, ran back home to report to Mistrunner. They told her of his betrayal, and she was heartbroken. The day of the battle, while Peakclan invaded, Jaggedsnow sneaked through with them and into the nursery, where the four residing queens turned against him. He tried to explain, but to no avail. Nightfeather held the most hatred against him, while Mistrunner couldn't look him in the eye. Twistedfoot, Mistrunner's brother, burst in and claimed that he needed her help - she was the best fighter in the nursery. Jaggedsnow tried to convince her to stay in the safety of the nursery - he couldn't promise her safety if she left - but she went anyways. The pain of having his mate hate him made him realize his mistakes and how wrong he had been to start this war. He chased after her - but too late. A brown she-cat had her pinned down, her nasty jaws clamped around the pretty queen's neck. It was all his fault, but he still had a chance to save her. He bowled over the enemy, warning her to stay away, but she escaped his grasp. Upon checking back on his mate, he sensed that he was too late. He didn't even have a chance to say goodbye as Mistrunner slipped away into Starclan, leaving their kits motherless. Nightfeather had told the new leader Dovestar about Jaggedsnow's betrayal, and he was instantly banished. Later that night, the tom sat in an empty clearing far from the clan, where he could talk to the sky alone. He begged Mistrunner's forgiveness, as he had learned from his wrongdoings and just desired to know that she was okay in Starclan. And Mistrunner, who had been told the now fulfilled prophecy, understood his actions. And further forgave him, scene above.
