Youngtails Curse (A Warriors Cat Manga)

Chapter 4: Next Time

There we were, just a few cats left in the clan at this point, as it kind of felt quite a bit slim. It was a lot worse than it had been last time we had gone to a gathering none the less, as I knew that there had been nearly twice as many cats as there were last time. Though, I suppose that I knew as to why that was the case, as for one thing, there had been more cats in the clan, but this time, my father had wanted a bit more cats to stay back at the camp this time, as there was simply just 5 of us that were going to the gathering this time sadly, as it felt quite a bit cold, as to just how silent, and how empty it was on the way to the island by the lake. I was not used to this for sure, as I knew that I was used to the fact that there was a bunch of cats with us, and it was actually quite a bit talkative, as a lot of the cats were excited to go and meet the cats from the other clans, and catch up with all of them.
That was not the case any more how ever, as there was only 3 clans left now for one thing, and also the other thing was the fact that not only were there not all too many clans left, but the clans that were left, did not have nearly as many cats as there had been when I had been a kit. It was getting quite a bit bad, if I was going to be for real with my self, as I knew that I should in fact be worried for the clans, all at the exact same time too. That was not the case at all how ever, as I felt like I really did not care all too much about any of it, so long as our clan was okay. That was the problem though, our clan was not okay, as I knew that the clans had been a lot more full when I was a kit, than how it was now. It was quite a bit sad, if I was going to be for real with my self never the less, as well.
I sighed just a bit to my self, as I knew that even when it was that I had been first born, that it was still a bit rough for the clans, but now a days, it was on a whole new level, as I knew that the clans were falling apart, and that the clans did not have all too much longer. In my eyes, it felt like it was just going to be based off of the last clan that was left standing, and my job as a deputy, and a leader at some point, was to make sure that the last clan that was standing, was my own clan. It kind of hurt for me to think that kind of way, as I knew that there were good cats in all of the clans, but I knew that I had to put my clan first, even if this was a gathering, and all of the clans were supposed to be treated with an equal amount of respect by every one. I felt like that was not going to be the case how ever, as I knew that was simply not the case at all the last few gathering that I had gone to.
I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I did my best to get my focus off of all of that, all at the exact same time as well, as I just got my eyes on just what it was that I saw ahead of me right now, which was of course the fact that what it was that I saw ahead of me, from not all too far away, was of course the bridge, or to say the very least, the broken down tree that looked like it was going to fall down at any point in time, as I was a bit scared to even go on it half of the time, if I was going to be completely honest with my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I felt like at any point in the near future, the thing might fall down, and if there were cats that got in to the lake, than I knew that a lot of the cats that fell in to the lake, were most certainly going to drown to death, as I knew that Riverclan was no longer a clan any more.
I nodded a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I did my best to get my focus off of all of that, and just get my focus on the fact that I knew that we were about to cross that bridge no matter what, as it was just the 5 of us. Plus, I also knew at the exact same time too, that I was a new deputy, and my father was going to break the news to the rest of the clans, all at the exact same time as well, which I was quite a bit excited for, if I was going to be for real with my self. I grinned quite a bit all of the sudden, as I then got my focus on the fact that the cats that were with me right now, were crossing the bridge in front of me right now, which did in fact make me blink my eyes a few times at the exact same time as well, so that I got my focus on just what it was that was even going on right now in the very first place any ways, as I saw that my father looked over at me before he took the lead for me and the clan mates, and he then nodded to me.
I was a little bit lost at first, as I did not have much of a clue as to just what it was that was going on right at this very moment in time in the very first place any ways. I did my best to try to wake my self up just a bit, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden got my focus in on the fact that he was crossing the bridge right now, all of the sudden, along with the other 3 cats that were with us right now, which just so happened to be, KindLake, StoneSea, and MoleWatcher. I stood for just a little bit more time still, not all too sure as to just what it was that I should do, not what it was that I was even doing at this very moment in time, in the very first place any ways. I began to breath in quite a bit to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I did my best to try to just think for a little bit of some time, to get my focus on just what it was that was even going on at this very moment in time, in the very first place any ways.
As it all of the sudden seemed to come back to me, I then all of the sudden, all at the exact same time as well, quickly began to catch up to the rest of the cats, all at the exact same time as well, as I went with them across the rotten tree that led to the island on the other side, which I could already smell the retched smell of the Thunderclan cats that were inside at the exact same time too. It was quite a bit nasty, if I was not going to lie to my self, as I was not all too quite sure as to just how it was that they could live in that kind of environment all at the exact same time as well. They were a bit of a strange clan how ever, if I was going to be completely honest with my self, as I rolled my eyes just a bit to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I kept on going down the bridge all at the exact same time too, making sure that I padded on it lightly, as I did not want to push it any more than it felt like I was doing already, as I felt like it was about to fall over at any moment now, and I knew I was not the best at swimming never the less.
I stopped breathing, as I quickly got to the other side, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that every one was looking at me for some odd reason or another, with quite a bit of a blank look on their faces, all at the exact same time too, as it was clear that they were waiting for me to get to the other side, so that I could join them with the rest of the clans that were on the island right at this very moment in time, in the very first place as well, none the less. I looked at all of them, with a bit of a blank look on my own face, as I then blinked my eyes quite a few times, all at the exact same time too, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was going on right at this very moment in time either way, nor why it was that every one was staring at me right now. In the end how ever, I nodded to all of them, as I felt like that was what it was that I needed to do for some odd reason or another, to calm them down just a little bit.
It actually seemed to do a fairly good job never the less, very much to my own surprise, as I saw that all of them nodded to me, all at the exact same time as well, before they then turned their heads over to the other clans that were on the island right now, as they then began to go and join up with them all at the exact same time too. As they all did as such a thing, I then began to notice, all at the exact same time as well, that my clan did not go to talk to any of the cats of the other clans, and try to get in to any sort of conversation with them, all at the exact same time as well. I did not blame them for that at the exact same time too, as I knew that Windclan and Thunderclan were not exactly friends at all, all at the exact same time as well, as I rolled my eyes a little bit, all at the exact same time too, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I was even thinking right at this very moment in time any ways, as I then got my focus off of all of that all of the sudden.
What it was that I felt like I needed to get my focus on right now, was the fact that I saw the leader of Shadowclan PikeStar, who was a good friend of my father's at the exact same time too, was at the top of the rock, looking down at the clans, with quite a not so happy look on his face either. I was a little bit lost at first, as to just what it was that was going on with him all at the exact same time too. I tilted my head a little bit, even though I knew that the leader of Shadowclan would not be paying attention to a measly cat such as I was, none the less. I rolled my eyes a little bit to my self, as I began to look around at the clearing that I was in all of the sudden, getting my focus off of the fact that some thing was clearly wrong with that cat right now, as I then all of the sudden got my focus instead, on the fact that Thunderclan was all around the clearing right now, as there was over twice as many of them, as there were of us right now.
I was a little bit shocked by it, as well as the fact that I was a bit afraid of it, though I kind of felt like I should not be at all right now, just due to the fact that I knew that my father had purposely not brought all too many cats to the gathering in the very first place any ways, as he knew just as well as I did, that no one in our clan really wanted to go to the gathering, and he knew that no one wanted to go meet up with the other clans, and talk to them, such as they used to do. That was not the part that really shocked me, if I was going to be for real with my self. It then hit me all at the exact same time as well, was the fact that the clearing seemed to reek of the Thunderclan cats, but there did not seem to be hardly any Shadowclan cats at all, as I began to start to look all around the clearing, all at the exact same time as well, a little bit worried as to just why it was that I could not spot a single one of them to save the life of me none the less.
I was quite a bit lost by it, as I knew that the leader of Shadowclan, PikeStar, was at the top of the tall rock right now, and he was staring down at the clans, but it seemed like he had taken it to a next level compared to just what it was that my father, the leader of Windclan had done, on the fact that he did not want to bring all too many cats with him. It seemed like he did not want to bring any cats with him at all. Not even his deputy, as I could not see her face to save the life of me never the less. I was quite a bit shocked, as well as the fact that I was quite a bit worried about it, all at the exact same time as well, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was going on right now. It made sense as to the fact that he might not want to bring his clan with him, but the fact that he did not bring his deputy worried me quite a bit, all at the exact same time as well, as to the fact as to just what it was that was going on with Shadowclan right now.
I got my focus off of all of those thoughts all at the exact same time too, as I then heard a loud voice start to speak up to the entire clearing, all at the exact same time too, as I was a little bit lost by it at first, as I then all of the sudden turned my head over to just where it was that it had come from, as it of course came from no where other than the tall rock, as that was where the leaders always addressed the clans as to just what it was that had been going on with their clans over the last moon. I was a little bit surprised by it, all at the exact same time as well, as when I looked over at the tall rock, all at once, I saw that my father was not even all the way at the top of the tall rock just yet, as I knew that for one thing, the meetings usually did not start until the cats of the clans, and the leaders had a bit of some time to talk it out with each other, but this time seemed to be on a little bit of a next level how ever.
It seemed like, this time, that the cat in this situation, which was PikeStar, was not even going to wait til my father, the leader of Windclan, was on top of the tall rock, which kind of annoyed me, as well as the fact that it upset me a bit, as I knew that my father had him were good friends, but at the exact same time as well, that just seemed to go away all of the sudden now, as it did not seem like PikeStar was taking that in to affect at all. I tilted my head a bit at the cat, once again, as I stared at him with quite a bit of a blank look on my face all at the exact same time as well. The very little speaking that had been going on around the clearing, mainly the clan cats conversing to them selves right at this very moment in time, seemed to die down quite a bit, as they all then all of the sudden began to realize that the leader of Shadowclan was at the tall rock, and he was speaking to the cats of all of the clans right now, or at least, all of the clans that were left.
That was besides the point how ever, as I got my focus off of all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time too, as I got my focus on the fact that I knew that my thoughts had to be on PikeStar right now, as he was in fact the cat who was stepping up to all of the cats right at this very moment in time, and that he was the cat that was talking to every one right now. I blinked my eyes a few times, as I stared at him with a bit of a blank look on my face, as I kept my eyes on the cats that were in the clearing right now, from the corner of my own eyes, all at the exact same time as well. I saw that the Thunderclan cats did not seem to be too happy with him at all, but that did not come as to all too much of a surprise to me, as I knew that the Thunderclan cats did not respect any one at all. I rolled my eyes a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I then began to start to listen as to just what it was that PikeStar had to say to all of the clan cats that were in the clearing at this very moment in time, at the exact same time as well.
"Cats of the clans... Windclan and Thunderclan, I have some thing to tell you all..." He said to every one, as it then all of the sudden seemed to get every one's attention, all at the exact same time as well, on the fact that he was speaking to every one right now, which I was glad for, as I was not quite at the stage as to where it was that I did not have any sort of respect for the leaders of other clans, such as it kind of seemed like the cats of Thunderclan were right now. I shook my head, as I shook off all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that it was besides the point right now, and that I should not have my focus on all of that right at this very moment in time, in the very first place any ways. I was a little bit worried, just based off of the look that I saw on the face of PikeStar, that he had to say some thing quite a bit important, all at the exact same time as well. It seemed like he was in quite a bit of some pain for some odd reason or another, which did in fact worry me quite a bit, all at the exact same time too, none the less. I also saw that he did not have a very happy look on his face, which I felt like could be for a lot of reasons, as I dipped my head down to the ground all of the sudden, all at the exact same time as well, as I had quite a bit of a guilty look on my own face, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that a lot of things might be for that reason that he was not all too happy. I stared down at the dirt that was below me for just a little bit longer, as I kept quite a bit of a blank look on my face for some time, all at the exact same time too, as I then began to start to listen as to just what it was that PikeStar had to say once again, as I heard his voice begin to speak up to every one, just as he had been doing earlier. As I lifted my head up this time, I saw that he had his eyes squinted at some one, and that some one of course, just so happened to be the leader of Thunderclan, which was FancyStar, as she did not seem to be bothered at all, a single bit by the fact that he had his eyes squinted at her. I was a little bit lost by it at first, as I squinted my eyes my self, for some odd reason or another at the exact same time as well, as it seemed like there might be a bit of a deeper meaning to just what it was that was going on right now. I felt like it was best not to think all too much on it at all how ever, as I got my focus on the fact that he was speaking to every one right now any ways, as I then started to begin to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say to us all, all at the exact same time too. "Of course... Thunderclan already knows this, as they are the ones that did it... But Shadowclan is no more... We were repeatedly attacked by Thunderclan until my clan gave in, and they left me behind..."
As soon as he had said it, my mind went in to a bit of a different dimension, all at the exact same time as well, as I was quite a bit shocked as to just what it was that he had even said to us all, all at the exact same time as well. I could tell that my clan mates were quite a bit shocked by it, all at the exact same time as well, as I then heard the sudden gasps come out of their mouths, all at the exact same time too, letting me know that they had not had a single clue as to just what it was that had been going on for one thing, but also for the other thing, which was the fact that I could see the looks that were on the faces of them at the exact same time as well, as I could tell that they were not all too happy with what it was that PikeStar had said in the very first place any ways, which I felt like I could not blame them for, as I knew that my clan had always been fond of PikeStar as a leader of Shadowclan, as we had always been allies, all at the exact same time as well.
That was no longer the case how ever, as I knew that it was one for many reasons, as the simple reason was the fact that Shadowclan was no more, such as he had just told us all, as the fact that Thunderclan had shoved them off, all at the exact same time as well, kind of scared me, as I was a little bit worried as to just what it was that it would mean for the future of our own clan, as to the fact that I was a bit worried as to the fact that they might go and try to take over our land, or they might try to attack us. I knew that Shadowclan and Thunderclan were not on the best of terms, just based off of the fact that it seemed like they could not agree on the fact as to how much of the territory of Skyclan should be given to them, but I had not expected it to go as far as the fact that Thunderclan was going to attack them, until there was not a single cat left standing, well, besides PikeStar I suppose.
I felt like I wanted to blame Shadowclan for it, all at the exact same time as well, for the fact that they should have just let Thunderclan take the entire land none the less, but at the exact same time too, I also knew that PikeStar had told them that they could have the land, but that did not seem to be enough at all for Thunderclan clearly, as to the fact that the had forced the cats off of their own land, all at the exact same time as well, as there was not a single cat left in Shadowclan, besides the leader how ever. I was quite a bit surprised by it still, if I was going to be for real with my self, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should do, nor what it was that I should say at the exact same time as well. I felt like the best move for me right now, was just to stay silent, and watch all of this play out, as I knew that I was not a leader at all, and I was a deputy. I did not want to step in to any sort of situation that I knew that I was not a part of at all.
I did not want to get my own clan in trouble, so I just kept my mouth shut, all at the exact same time as well. I did how ever, look away from the top of the tall rock, as I felt like I wanted to see if there was any sort of look of guilt on the face of FancyStar, for letting her clan do what it was that they had done to Shadowclan. As I looked at her for just a bit more of some time how ever, I began to notice that she did not have a look of guilt at all on her face right now, but she instead had a big smile on her face, almost as if she was bragging as to the fact that her clan had gone out of the way to attack ShadowClan, and tear them down. I was a little bit surprised by it, as I was not all too sure as to just how it was that FancyStar could not see how not a single thing that she had done was at all wrong. I squinted my eyes at her, all of the sudden, such as I saw that PikeStar was doing, as it did not seem like that either of them were phased a single bit, with what it was that was going on right now.
I sighed a bit of a soft sigh, as I then got my eyes on the crowd that was around me right now, as I expected to at least see a bit of a look of some sort of guilt on the faces of the Thunderclan cats, to see that they should at the very least know that what it was that they had done was in fact quite a bit wrong. That did not seem to be the case at all how ever, as I was a little bit shocked by it, but at the exact same time too, I also felt like I really should not be all too surprised by it at all, as I had always known to the fact that Thunderclan cats did not seem to have any sort of soul, nor did they ever seem to feel bad for any other clans, nor did they ever seem to have any sort of remorse as to the fact that they had done some thing that was terribly wrong. Such as the fact that they had destroyed Shadowclan. As I knew that was some thing that was in fact terribly wrong never the less, for one thing for certain.
Riverclan and Skyclan had fallen apart on their own accords, but the fact that Thunderclan had destroyed what was left of Shadowclan, made me feel sick to my stomach, especially the fact that it was clear that not a single one of the cars that were in that clan, seemed to feel bad at all for what it was that their clan, and what it was that their leader had done, as it seemed more like to me, that they might almost be a little bit proud for what it was that they had done at the exact same time as well. I froze up quite a bit, as I was not all too sure about any of this any more. I knew now, that there really was no hope left for the clans, such as it had been one of the final words that my mother had said to my father, before she had gone to leave the clan, and my brother had eventually gone to go kill her. I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I did my best to try to stay calm, even though it was quite a bit hard right now, if I was going to be for real with my self at this very moment in time.
I sighed just a bit to my self all of the sudden, as I got my focus off of all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time as well, and I got my focus instead on the thoughts that my father, who was at the top of the tall rock him self, had quite a bit of a look of some shock on his face right now, as to just what it was that his good friend had said to the clans in the very first place any ways, as I saw that he had his jaw dropped right at this very moment in time, as it was clear that he was not quite all too sure as to just what it was that he should say right at this very moment in time, nor what it was that he should add on to just what it was that PikeStar had said, and just what it was that he had done to break the news to the cats that were left, or at least the Windclan cats, due to the fact that Thunderclan clearly already knew about it, as to the fact that our allies were no more, and that we were the only 2 clans left.
I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should do right now, as I did my best to try to keep my self calm, all at the exact same time as well, as I stared in to just what it kind of felt like was nothing ness right now. I felt empty deep down in side, as I knew that the clans were soon to be no more. Perhaps I never would get to be the leader of Windclan, as I was fairly certain that the clan would not exist by the time that it came to my turn. I was fairly certain that once the news broke as to just what it was that had happened at the gathering, to the rest of the cats in our clan, than it might throw them off quite a bit, and it might be giving them 2nd thoughts as to the fact that it might not be a good idea to be a Windclan cat any more. I sighed just a bit to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that it was not a good idea to think so negatively, such as I was doing right now, but it kind of felt like I really could not help it all too much.
I sighed a bit to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden got my focus on the fact that I then all of the sudden heard the voice of a much different cat start to speak up to all of the cats that were in the clearing right now. I then lifted my head up, and I turned my head over to the she cat, who was the leader of Thunderclan of course, which was FancyStar, as it was clear that she had quite a bit of a good rebuttal, at least in her eyes as to what it was that PikeStar had said to all of the cats that were in the clearing right now. I was quite a bit interested in what it was that she had to say, for some odd reason or another, even though I kind of felt like I did not want to hear it. Every time it seemed like I heard the she cats voice, it made me feel quite a bit sick to the stomach, as it always seemed like she was lying one way or another, as to just what it was that she was even saying to us in the very first place any ways. I breathed in quite a bit to my self, as I was not all too sure about any of it, nor was I all too sure as to just what it was that I should do in the very first place any ways, never the less.
I just kept my head quite a bit low to the ground, all at the exact same time as well, as it kind of felt like that was the best idea. I was worried, if I was not going to lie to my self, as to the fact that FancyStar might threaten us all of the sudden, and that they might turn on us all at the exact same time as well, as to the fact that I knew that it was just a few of us that were here, which was the leader, my father, Kettlestar, and I, who was the deputy, who were here right now, as I knew for a fact, no matter how strong that my father was, that we would not win in a fight with so many cats for sure right now, as it was a very bad idea to even try to get in to a fight for us right now. I sighed a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I did my best to try to get my focus off of all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
I then got my focus on the thoughts instead, which just so happened to have some thing to do with the fact that I knew that FancyStar was talking to all of the cats that were in the clearing right now, mainly just the 6 cats that were the Windclan cats, and also the fact that PikeStar was here too, as I was fairly certain that the Thunderclan cats already knew sort of just what it was that she was about to say to us, all at the exact same time as well. I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I once again got my eyes on the strange cat that was in front of me right now, as I saw that she had quite a big smile on her face, all at the exact same time as well, almost as if she was happy to be destroying all of the clans, which would not surprise me all too much if that was in fact what it was that she was doing. I shook off all of those thoughts how ever, as I remembered that she was speaking to every one right now, as I then all of the sudden began to listen as to just what it was that she even had to say to every one that was right here in the very first place any ways.
"Look... You can't really blame us for it... Besides, your clan was dying, and we just decided to end it sooner... But if you are going to complain about it, than we may as well not let you stay on our land any longer..." She said to PikeStar, as she had quite a big smirk on her face, all at the exact same time as well, as to just what it was that she had even said, all at the exact same time too, which did in fact make me feel quite a bit sick none the less, as I was not all too sure how to take what it was that she had just said, all at the exact same time as well. If she had meant what it was that she had said, as to the fact that she had attacked them, due to the fact that she knew that they were weak, than who was to say that her clan was not going to all of the sudden attack our own, never the less? I felt quite a bit sick, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should even be thinking right at this very moment in time, in the very first place any ways, as I then all of the sudden sighed quite a bit to my self, all at once.
I then got my focus on the fact that there was some thing else that was going on right now, which was of course for one thing, the fact that PikeStar had his head quite a bit low to the ground right now, as it was clear that he realized that at least a part of what it was that FancyStar had said to all of us in the very first place any ways, was in fact true. Not just that though, but also the fact that I could see the worried looks on the faces of my clan mates, from not all too far away right now, all at the exact same time too, as it was clear that they were kind of thinking the same way that it felt like I was thinking right now. They were all quite a bit worried as to the fact that we might be the next clan that Thunderclan would attack, as it did not ever seem to be enough for FancyStar and Thunderclan, as I had been told time and time again, and I was actually really starting to believe as to just what it was I was told.
I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, but it seemed like the she cat did not have any sort of heart at all. I knew that she was pretending to be nice when she had said that she was letting PikeStar stay at his home, but at the exact same time as well, I was not going to fall for that, as I knew that it was not nice that she had destroyed his clan, and driven all of his clan mates away, at the exact same time as well, none the less. I sighed a bit to my self, as I did my best how ever, to keep my focus on the tall rock that was ahead of me right at this very moment in time, as I knew that was a lot more important than the fact that I had my eyes on my few clan mates that were actually with me right now, which I was now starting to realize, and also starting to get quite a bit worried that it would make us look weak. It was exactly what it was that they had done to Shadowclan, which was the fact that they had attacked the clan when they were on their last legs, and were quite a bit weak, as they were the ones that had given the killing blow never the less.
I began to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I kind of felt like they might try to do the same to us never the less, as I knew that they did not like us. They did not like any clan for that matter for one thing, but they for sure did not like us at all. If they thought that we were weak, than I feared that they might try to attack us, and whilst I felt like I wanted to lie to my self right now, and say that we were not weak, and we were as strong as we ever could be, that was just not the case at all sadly, as not only was it hard to even keep cats around the clan now a days, but there was also the fact at the exact same time too, that it was hard to even feed the clan half of the time, due to the fact that we had to send cats on extra long border patrols a lot of the time, and we did not have all that much time for the clan to hunt, nor was there all too much for us to even hunt for around this time of the year either.
I blinked my eyes a few times, as I felt quite a bit guilty for some odd reason or another, even though I knew that none of it was my fault, and there was simply nothing that I could do sadly. I felt quite a bit sick, as I wished that I could try to do some thing, but the fact of the matter was, that there was just not any thing that I could do to try to save my clan. I knew that we were on the down hill slope, and if Thunderclan really was going out of their way to go and attack other clans due to the fact that we were weak, than I had quite a bit of some fear, as to the fact that they would soon attack us, and that would in the end lead to the demise of our clan, all at the exact same time as well. I sighed just a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I felt like I kind of just wanted to cry right now, but at the exact same time as well how ever, I knew that now was not the time, nor was it the place for me to do as such a thing at all sadly.
I stared down at the ground for just a little bit more time, as I was not all too sure as to just what else it was that I should even do right at this very moment in time any ways, than to stare at the ground, which I knew for a fact would not be a good look for my clan at all either. Thankfully, or rather not at all good, was the fact that I could see that I was not the only cat in my clan that was doing as such a thing right at this very moment in time. I for some reason let out a bit of a soft sigh of a bit of some relief, all at the exact same time too, as I then instead got my focus on the fact that I knew that right now, there all of the sudden seemed to be a cat at the top of the high rock right now, that felt like they were ready to speak to the cats of the clans that were below them right now. I blinked my eyes just a few times, as I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self all of the sudden, and I then all of the sudden lifted my head up to the cat who was speaking.
To no surprise to me at all, none the less, I saw that the cat that was speaking up right now, just so happened to be PikeStar, as I could tell that he did not have an all too happy look on his face in the very first place any ways, as to just what it was that FancyStar had said as a bit of some response to him. I for some reason felt a bit bad for FancyStar, as she was after all, letting him have a place to stay, bit at the exact same time too, I felt a bit like an idiot for thinking that kind of way how ever, as I knew that she had gone in and stolen his land, and stolen his clan away from him. I sighed a bit of a soft sigh to my self, as I got my focus off of all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time as well, as I then got my focus on the fact that she was in fact speaking to all of the cats that were in this clearing right now, as I then all of the sudden began to start to listen as to just what it was that he had to say to each and every cat that was even here in the very first place any ways.
"Oh... How nice of you! I am so thankful that you destroyed my clan! You wont even let me hunt! You know, there used to be a thing back in the day, that when a clan was dying, that you were supposed to help them, not make it worse... But call me old school for that I suppose..." PikeStar said to all of the cats that were around here right at this very moment in time, as it was clear that it had seemed to resonate quite a bit never the less, as to just what it was that he had even said in the very first place any ways, as I felt quite a bit bad for the poor cat. I knew that he was in fact right with what it was that he had said, but at the exact same time too, I also knew that those were back in the days when cats still used to believe in that Starclan place. That was not the case at all any more how ever. It still did not matter to any of these cats how ever, as I saw that a lot of them now had their heads dipped quite a bit low to the ground right now, as to just what it was that he had even said in the very first place any ways, as I could see quite a bit of a guilty look on their faces.
As they should be too, as that was in fact some thing that you should for sure feel guilty of, as to the fact that they had destroyed an innocent clan for no such reason at all, as PikeStar had always been a cat to want to withhold the peace in the clans, all at the exact same time too, which I felt quite a bit bad for him for as well, as that was simply not a thing any more, and that he had not been the one that had instigated the fighting that had been going on between the 2 clans. I breathed in quite a bit to my self, as I was quite a bit worried about all of this right now, if I was not going to lie to my self. I could feel the tension building up in the air right now, as it almost felt like some thing was about to blow up in just a little bit, and it felt like some thing was about to erupt at any moment now, as I knew for a fact that it was not good for us at all, due to the fact that there was hardly any of us to fight back against what seemed to be an entire clan full of cats right now.
I breathed in quite a bit to my self, as I did my best to try not to get all too worried about all of this, as I kind of felt like I might be over thinking all of that, of I was going to be serious with my self, and things might not be as bad as it might seem to be to me. I also knew how ever, that if I was to tell my self such a thing like that, than I would just simply be lying to my self at the exact same time too, as I could tell that it was clear that some thing was not right in the air right now. I shivered quite a bit to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I was not all too sure as to just what else it was that I should do right now, if I was going to be for real with my self. I felt quite a bit scared, as well as the fact that I was quite a bit afraid as to just what it was that was going on right now, at this very moment in time, and just what it was that was going to be happening in the near by future as well.
I gulped a bit, as I then just stared at the tall rock that was above me right now, as I saw that FancyStar had quite a bit of a big smile on her face, which did in fact make me feel quite a bit sick, as it seemed like she was enjoying just what it was that was going on right now, as I knew that she had always been a cat that liked to start, and cause a lot of drama in between the clans. I almost wanted to blame her for just what it was that was going on in the clans, but at the exact same time too, I knew that things had seemed to be tearing apart long before it was that even she had got the role as leader in her clan. I gulped a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I still was not all too sure about any of it how ever, as I just stared up at her with quite a bit of a blank look on my own face, as I saw that she had quite a bit of a big grin on her own face at this very moment in time as well, none the less.
I did my best to try to ignore her how ever, as I found some where else to look, and some thing else to look at, all at the exact same time too, which was the fact that I was looking at my father right now, as I saw that he was a little bit shocked still, as well as the fact that he was a little bit worried. He was looking at his good friend PikeStar, with that look on his face. I was not all too sure about any of it how ever, as to the fact that he might be looking at him in shock, as to the fact that he no longer had a clan, or if he was surprised as to the fact that he had found out about it, and he was worried for his good friend. If I was going to be completely honest with my self how ever, I kind of felt like that the worried look on his face had nothing to do with any of that at all how ever, as I was fairly certain that the look of worry that he had was simply the fact that he was worried as to just what it was that was in store for the future of our clan, now that he had found out the news of PikeStars clan.
I did not blame my father for being worried either, as I knew that any good leader should be worried for his clan at a time like this one. Perhaps my father was not a great leader, but he was a lot better of a leader that FancyStar was, as I was not all too sure how the cats that were in her clan could even stand to be around her most of the time, as I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at the exact same time as well. I really did not like to think bad as to a leader of another clan, as my father had told me not to do as to such a thing, but at the exact same time as well, I felt like, in this instance, it was quite a bit hard for me not to. I sighed a bit to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I just wanted to stop thinking about it, and just calm my self down and get back to the camp as soon as possible. It was hard to clear my mind from all of those thoughts how ever, if I was not going to lie to my self, but luckily I had quite a little bit of some help in all of that how ever, as I then all of the sudden began to hear the voice of my father, as he then began to start to speak up to all of the cats that were in the clearing for the first time finally.
I blinked my eyes a few times, as I was a little bit lost, as well as the fact that I was quite a bit shocked as to just what it was that was even going on in the very first place any ways. If I was not going to lie to my self, and I was a leader in this situation, I kind of felt like the best way to use this situation was to simply not say a single word at all, but maybe that was not the best of an idea in the sort of situation that the clans were in right now. I sighed a bit to my self, as I then all of the sudden shook my head, all at the exact same time as well, as I then began to start to all of the sudden, get my focus on my father, all at the exact same time as well, as I then began to start to remember as to the fact that he was speaking up to the clans right now, as I then lifted my head up, all at the exact same time as well, and I stared at him with a bit of a blank look on my own face, as I then began to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say to every one at the exact same time as well.
"How about we stop all of the fuss and all of the arguments... We can agree to disagree... This is how the clans are falling apart in the very first place..." He said to all of the cats that were around the area right now, as I actually did in fact see some nods of agreement from the crowd, as it was clear that a few of the cats of Thunderclan actually agreed on what it was that he had even said in the very first place any ways, thankfully enough for us. I breathed in quite a bit soft to my self, as I felt like, yes, maybe in fact, there was some cats that agreed with what it was that he had said, but the main cat that seemed to be coming in to play right now, which just so happened to be FancyStar, just seemed to smile as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that she was looking at right now. I was a little bit lost by it, all at the exact same time too, as I wondered just what it was that she was thinking about right now. Knowing her, and knowing she was a bit twisted, as well as the fact that she was also quite a bit sick, than I had to assume that it was some thing that was no good at all. I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too how ever, as I then all of the sudden got my focus on the fact that my father was once again stepping up to speak to all of the cats that were in the clearing right now, just as he had been doing before. I blinked my eyes a few times, as I was quite a bit lost right now, if I was going to be for real with my self, but I did in fact nod to my self, to get my attention on him, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say in the very first place any ways, once again. "PikeStar... You are welcome to stay in our clan if that is really the case... And FancyStar, this bridge is going to break any day now, and it's a long distance away for the both of us, so our upcoming gathering will be at the small river that leads to the lake... Now let's go back to our clans and we will know better next time..."
