Stormheart

With my claws tearing the ground, i ran away from the camp. The same thoughts screeched through my head. "Am i really a freak?! Not even a clan member!?" Feeling something wet at my eyes, i continued through the forest. I didn't even know where i was going; all i wanted to do is get away to a quiet place. Yelping, i stopped just in time to stand beside a river. Water roared in my ears, making me whimper. Clear blue water lapped my paws. The sun's rays shined down on my black fur. Gulping, i gazed down into the water. I saw a small black kitten with purple eyes. "Me." i thought quietly, blinking...

I padded nervously into the star-covered clearing. All around me, glittering eyes watched me go. Some familiar to me, some a mystery. Swallowing, i continued to make my way down the trail. Two Gatti watched me as i approached, pride running in their eyes. "Welcome Night's wind." the brown warrior murmured. "Hello, Brownstar." i whispered, keeping my gaze on the ground. "Raise your head Nightwind, be proud of what te have done." the other cat mewed, licking his blue-gray pelt. "But how can i, Whitefang?" i protested, feeling guilt gather in my paws. "Quiet now, it's time for your nine lives."...

Bringing out my claws, i watched Bluestar disappear behind the cespuglio, bush before walking back to camp. Smokebreeze kept pace with me, brushing his pelt on mine. "He just doesn't understands what a leader does." he told me, ducking to avoid a branch. "Well, he doesn't have much time to think about it." I growled harshly. "The dark Gatti will be here soon. If he doesn't support the clan and lead them, they'll lose their courage." "Yes, i know." he mewed, shaking his head. "But hopefully, we have reassure them." All i replied with was a grunt as we entered the camp. Some Gatti were outside, waiting anxiously...

Letting out an excited yelp, i ran across the camp to a light gray she-cat. Leaping in the air, i landed perfectly on her shoulders, purring in amusement. I heard my brother Rainingkit come up behind me. "Good one Morningkit!" he called out, laughing as Stormbringer turned quickly. Jumping down to face her, i smiled big. She sat down and started licking one of her black paws. "Pretty quick, little one." the deputy commented, flashing me a sad look. Confusion came from me; she always seemed to look at us strangely. "Something wrong Stormbringer?" i barley heard my brother as i looked up at...

"Clanmates, come to the rock please." I raised my head as Flowstar's voice rang all over camp. Dropping the topo, mouse i had just grabbed from the fresh-kill pile, i made my way to the middle of the camp. Most of the clan had already gathered there, gazing up in wonder. Waving my tail in greeting to Shininglight, i took a sede, sedile da Gemeye. A purr rose from her throat as i flicked my tail. "Hello Bluefire, everything alright?" she asked, tipping her head to one side. I nodded, glancing up at the rock. I couldn't help but notice the strange look that haunted my leader's gaze. "I wonder if there's trouble."...

"We shall meet again, Night's wind and Smoke's breeze." the leader detto as he walked back to his group, flicking his black tail in the air. The group looked ready to protest, but obviously thought better of it. Slowly, they backed away until they vanished in the trees. "Thank Starclan." Morningray whispered to her brother, Rainingtouch. Yanking my gaze away from the trees, i padded up to Bluestar. His eyes were wide with fear. "Don't thank Starclan just yet." I mewed over my shoulder. "We're not out of trouble, not even close." Nodding agreement, Smokebreeze glanced at me. "Should i take these...

Black pelliccia blew gently in the wind that suddenly chilled the camp. Deep purple eyes gazed at the cat who asked the question. I felt worry prick at my paws as i opened my jaws. "Bluestar is going to be back later." i mewed calmly, jumping down from the rock. Goldenlight came up to me, watching the clan following the orders we've given. "He's very distressed." she guessed, looking at Smokebreeze as he jumped down beside me. "He just needs time, that's all." my mate assured her, racing off to help the elders. Nodding, Goldenlight pressed her nose into my shoulder fur. "Good to have te back, mother."...
