StormStar's Curse: War At Last

Chapter One

(StormStar is in the pic above!)

KestrelFlight's POV

Three full moons have passed since the uprising of flesh-eaters. Sandkit, was now Sandpaw. Dustkit, was now Dustpaw. And other kits have earned their apprentice names as well have apprentice's have earned their warrior names.

The large, broad shoulder tom had traveled with the group, after loosing that huge, weird looking twoleg. They had to rest as two new suspicious cats have joined their side. 'Who were they?' He thought to himself before he sat down, trying to catch his breath after running so far and so long. Surprisingly, everyone had kept up with one another, and no one had gotten lost. The clans seem to have stick together, as if there were no longer 4 clans, but one.

He would have to say the he didn't mind having the cans unite like this, no rivalries, no borders, no unnecessary fights over scents wafting over other territories. The clans were at peace with one another, well most of them were... His gaze had grazed over to ShadowSight. His fur had ruffled at the sight of the big burly tom, not only because he had seen the way the tom looked at his sister, but because of how evil he truly was. He didn't really like the tom, but he couldn't quite judge him until he got to know him.

He gaze then swept over his sister, SpiralWind. He loved her with so much intensity, a rogue would think they are mates, but this love he held in his eyes? It wasn't mate love, it was littermate love. He cared for her deeply as he would risk his life just to make sure she lived. Although, he would do the same for his clan, it wasn't the same when it had came to SpiralWind. There was a deeper meaning to it than when it came to the clans.

His thoughts traced back to the day when the clans were just now figuring out about the flesh-eaters. He was attacked by a random cat when he found out this cat, was not definitely not random... but apparently his long lost twin sister, TigerSpirit. He had continued to fight this cat, not knowing who she was. When TigerSpirit had found out who he was, she stopped and said his name, although SpiralWind came about and had told him about her. He was furious to find out that his own sister had kept this from him. He still, to this day, did not know how to communicate with TigerSpirit, after all these moons lost to her being banished.

As KestrelFlight swept his gaze over the cats he seen how TigerSpirit was trying to make friends but all they would do was ignore her. He felt bad, as he knew it was probably harsh to be back in the clans. He had never even knew about his long lost twin sister, until the day she attacked him, he could only imagine how the clans will react to her being fully back and accepted. His gaze met AuburnSun's and ShineSnarl's as they flirted him with signals of their bodies and tail. He knew they were both expecting kits, he figured they would need a father figure. They were both a moon or two older than him, as he found out from other clanmates. He didnt bother with him as he only had one shecat on his mind, although she was in another clan, and a clan deputy, it seemed as if different clans didn't matter anymore. As he moved onto his hindlegs to get a better view of the clans, his eyes met with LittleStorm's and his muzzle flushed with red tint as he was blushing. Littlestorm seemed to have signal him over, as he nodded to her, he landed back down to all four paws and began woving through all the bunched up cats.

The scents of the divided clans begun to mingle into one, he finally reached LittleStorm as she mewed to him.  "Hello, KestrelFlight. How is your.." She seemed to have cleared her throat before she properly asked the question. "How is your twin sister? Have you spoken to her since she has returned?" KestrelFlight ended up fidgeting his paws, unsure of what to say. The truth? Or a simple white lie? He thought about it for a moment before answering. "I will be honest, i have not actually spoken to her since she has arrived. I am.. kind of avoiding her as i don't really know what to say to her. I'm afraid she will hate me." KestrelFlight nodded to her, waiting for her response, he flicked his tail as it rested onto hers, not knowingly. "I understand that completely, KestrelFlight. But you have to remember that she is your sister, no matter you know her well or not. How can she hate you for not knowing her? It would not be your fault as it was kept a secret from you. Just talk to her, and I'm sure things will fall into place, hun." LittleStorm ended up replying to him quite quickly as if she was invested in what they were talking about.

KestrelFlight acknowledged what she has said before her tail twined with his, he looked over to her, surprised as her face was tint with red as she was blushing now. He chuckled lightly and nuzzled her cheek in a loving manner, not caring about clan boundaries anymore. "Be my mate, Littlestorm. The clans are no longer divided so we can be together." KestrelFlight mewed to her. It seemed as Littlestorm was pondering whether or not she should accept before she replied with a 'yes' and nuzzled him on the cheek as well. He couldn't help but feel heated up with joy, butterflies sparking up in his belly and his fur tingling with excitement.

He then felt the ground shaking. 'No! It has caught up! Where is SpiralWind? TigerSpirit?' As if his thoughts had summoned them, they appeared side by side, racing toward him before stopping. Baffled by the sight of KestrelFlight and LittleStorm together, they then shook it off and StormStar and the other Leaders have called for the clans to hurry and move forward. He felt as if they would never escape this creature, but now being mates with Littlestorm had changed his perspective, gave him new hope sparking in his stomache..
