We Shouldn't Be Together (Warriors)

Swirledwhisper looked away.

Wildpelt pulled her into the den and sat down, "Starclan will give you nine lives. They will choose well." He looked at her, "but....You know as well as I do...what's happening here."

Swirledwhisper tilted her head. "What do you mean by that?"

[BeyondOblivion]

He looked down. The pain of the words came out, "I'm in love with you "

Swirledwhisper blinked, taken aback. "I..I.." she tried, but she couldn't make out the words.

He looked down, "I'll accompany you to the moonstone."

 

[Jay Windse]

Swirledwhisper nodded. "We'll have the funeral first."


At that, she leapt onto the HighRock, calling for a clan meeting.


"Cats of ShadowClan, I come bearing evil news with a heavy heart. Our beloved leader Nightstar is dead." She waited for the gasps to die before continuing, closing her amber eyes.


"He was slain by RiverClan, left on the border for someone to find. Unfortunately, that someone was myself." She heard yowls if rage and growls ripple through the camp. "Tonight we will have Nightstar's funeral just before Wildpelt and I leave to the Moonstone." She felt tears coming to her. "Everyone will pay their respects, and my brother Kinkjaw and I will bury him. StarClan bless his soul, and we all hope he is watching over us tonight as we grieve, but also celebrate the great leader that was ours for many seasons." Swirledwhisper ended there, and looked down at the camp.

Wildpelt looked odwn and he looked at them, a little nervous and not sure what he should say.

 

[Jay Windse]

Swirledwhisper glanced at Wildpelt, dismissing the Clan with a flick of her broken and half-missing tail, wincing.

Wildpelt looked up at her and he said once she'd gotten down, "Stop using your tail or it won't work."

 

[Jay Windse]

"I don't mean to." Swirledwhisper muttered.

He looked at her intuitively, "are you sure you may make the journey? Starclan will forgive you..."

"I'll be fine. It's you I'm worried about." Swirledwhisper looked at him.

"I'll make it." He turned red and stood up, "we have to go soon..."

Swirledwhisper nodded. She saw that sunset had came. She quickly paid respects to Nightstar before burying him with her brother. He wished her good luck at the Moonstone, and she returned to Wildpelt with a messy pelt.

"Let's go." He handed her some herbs and quickly flicked his tail for them to leave.

Swirledwhisper nodded and followed the medicine cat, quickly eating the herbs.

"Let's....see if Windclan I'll be hostile." He helped her across the lakeside and made their way to the moor land.

Swirledwhisper flattened her ears against the wind of the moor.

After many hours of trekking, the two made it to the lip of the moonpool. He looked down at it and whispered, "there."

Swirledwhisper stared down and looked at Wildpelt uncertainly, amber eyes flashing with doubt.

Wildpelt lead her down, "listen, it'll be alright. You were chosen. Starclan doesn't grant lives to just any cat."

Swirledwhisper nodded slowly. "I..I'm just nervous. What if I can't do this?"

[BeyondOblivion]

"Every leader said that. Nightstar did." He looked st her, "doubt is a sign of your ready."

Swirledwhisper closed her eyes and gave a curt nod, and then lay beside the pool, reaching forward, gently lapping from it.


Soon her consciousness spiraled into a dream.


There were cats surrounding her, and one stepped from the ring toward her, a calico she-cat with the same amber gaze as herself. Her eyes lit up. "Mother." She murmured fondly, and then the cat stepped forward to touch her nose to Swirledwhisper's forehead. "With this life I give you confidence. Believe in both yourself and everything around you and you will go far." Her mother murmured, and she felt a surge of power come through her as her mother stepped away with a smile and a whisper, "I love you."
