Nutmeg POV
"You are you doing what?!" Patches exclaimed. After Storm and I returned, I had told my brothers my plan to return home.
" You can't be serious."
"And what if I was Patches?" I frowned at him. The multicolored fured tom scoffed. "Why bother return when you can have a life here? Far away from that murderer?" I scorned at him. "Well I don't want to be seen saving my own skin, unlike some people!" Patches took a step back.
" Are you calling me a coward?"
I glared at him. "I said I forgave you for your little mix up with Frost, tricking you to think our father was a liar. After all you were a kit back then what could you possibly know? But I can't forgive you for running away and leaving me to take charge!" I snapped at him. The fur along my brother's spine bristled. "Well aren't you a hypocrite?" He accused me. "You ran away too!"
"Well at least I tried! Besides between the two of us I am the only one who has decided to return and make things right. What about you? Your behavior suggests that you don't care about what's going on back home and refuse to take charge. At least I'm trying to do something!" We stared at eachother our rage radiating off in waves.
"Um may I say something?" Said a quiet voice. It was Scout. The little dark kitten looked at us in uncertainty.
"I get you both have diffrent views, but arguing isn't helping!"
I sighed. "You're right Scout."
I heard the kitten sniff.
"Mama must think we are dead right now." I pulled him close.
" Oh Scout, don't start saying stuff like that."
"She might think of you two, but you probally thinks I'm already dead. Its probably best she does." Muttered Patches. I glanced at him. His amber eyes were full of pain.
" Is that's why you don't want to go back?"
Patches looked at me grimly.
" There are number of reasons why I don't want to go back." He started. " Frost for one. I hurt mama and I-I..." His voice trailed off. He stared at his paws.
" And?"
"And I broke some one's heart. I can't go back and face her, or any of them anyway. Understanding I gave a small nudge. "Hey I understand. I did the same thing too. But you just got to be brave that's all." I reassured him.
" You think they will forgive me?"
"It will take time sure, but they will eventually." Patches purred.
"Thanks Nut."
"No problem."
"So we are going home?" Asked Scout. I noded.
" We are going home, and we are going to stop Frost once and for all." I said determinedly.
