Stars Rising

Chapter 13

" I'm half ThunderClan?!? "

PygmyPaw exclaimed, glancing up at his father, who looked softly down at him. LeafPool and CrowFoot settled down, and PygmyPaw awkwardly sat near Who he believed was HollyPaw, the Black and brown she-cat. She looked towards him, before looking back.

" She's blind...and she's still a apprentice? I didn't know what was possible...."

" You three deserve the truth. During the great journey, me and your mother grew close. I had recently lost one of my siblings, HillPaw, and I was angry..about everything. Leaving my old home...it was a lot to take in. "

CrowFoot sighed, and looked up towards the stars, before looking back down at the three.

" then...LeafPool showed up, she was a Paw, like me, but she showed me the new opportunities a new home had, a new era for the clans. Me and her kept meeting in secret, I Became a warrior, she became a medicine cat. "

CrowFoot purred, and looked down to LeafPool, who cleared her throat.

" when we found out I was expecting kits, we where overjoyed...but we knew how dangerous it was. Me and CrowFoot left the clans for a few days to have you three...well...four..."

LeafPool muttered, before turning away, CrowFoot put a paw on her back.

" you had a little brother...HopKit..he was stillborn...Me and LeafPool split the rest up...she insisted I take you, Pygmy..and she took HollyPaw and WallabyPaw. We had to tell our clans, we knew we wouldn't get away with this. But we had a family....and now..you three can have eachother..."

CrowFoot mewed, PygmyPaw looked over at his sisters, WallabyPaw looked back at him, and walked over to him.

" I'm sorry my mentor scared you off..stars...this is akward.."

WallabyPaw muttered, glancing away. PygmyPaw gave a small smile.

" Hey, it's ok. I guess it explains why I'm so fluffy for a WindClan cat, and your tall for a ThunderClan cat "

He chuckled, and WallabyPaw let out a laugh, nudging him slightly. HollyPaw let out a breath, glancing away. LeafPool looked up at her.

" I know it may take a while I process...and we understand. But we needed to tell you the truth. Don't feel rushed, or like you need to talk to them. It's a big change...and we are sorry...honest. "

PygmyPaw looked over at HollyPaw, dropping his ears. He slid a paw over to her, she quickly pulled her paw away, standing up.

" HollyPaw..dear...please.."

LeafPool mewed, walking over to her, trying to lap at her ear, HollyPaw turned away.

" I...can't right now...I just need time...I'm going back to camp..."

HollyPaw muttered, and Stalked off, WallabyPaw waddling behind her, before looking back.

" I..guess we'll see eachother again...it's nice to..well..know you "

WallabyPaw mews, and wanders after her sister. LeafPool stops besides PygmyPaw, and slowly gives him a lick on the forehead.

" oh...I love you dear....I'm sorry we had to hide it...I hope to see you at the next gathering? "

LeafPool cooed, and and PygmyPaw dipped his head.

" I hope too see you too...goodnight.."

PygmyPaw muttered, standing up and slowly walking to CrowFoot, watching LeafPool vanish into the woods.

" come on...you can head to sleep earlier..."

CrowFoot meowed, and the two crossed over to WindClan, walking through the thick cold snow.

" do you....have any questions? About...everything. "

CrowFoot asked, looking down at PygmyPaw. PygmyPaw looked down at the snow, and shook his head.

" I'm just...still processing it...I'll come to you if I do have questions...I promise. "

" Ok..you go lay down, I've got night guard. I love you bud. "

PygmyPaw stopped and looked back at his father,  before dashing back and nuzzling against him. CrowFoot purred, and lapped at his forehead. PygmyPaw turned and headed back for camp, before calling back.

" I love you too dad. "
