Warriors: Mist's Choice (Complete)

Chapter 17

Mist That Appears Before Dawn

 Mist blinked and stared at her sister, wide-eyed. ''I.. you want me to what?''

 ''Join ThunderClan.'' Bluewing whispered, getting up. ''Please, you have to! I can't lose you again!''

 Mist didn't respond. Instead, she got up and looked at her paws. Could she do that? Just abandon her Tribe to be with her sister after she spent so many moons with them?

 ''I don't think I can.'' Mist meowed hesitantly. ''I can't just abandon my Tribe like that. They need me, especially now that they lost two cats.''

 ''But I need you too!'' Bluewing wailed. ''Mist, please! We're sisters, remember?''

 ''Of course I remember!'' Mist hissed. ''I just can't abandon my Tribe like that. I'm loyal to them.''

 ''Oh, so family doesn't matter anymore?'' Bluewing growled, arching her back.

 Mist lashed her tail. ''If I asked you to leave ThunderClan to join the Tribe, what would you say?''

 ''I'd say-'' Bluewing stopped. She clearly didn't expect to be asked that, out of everything.

 Mist took a deep breath. ''Look, Bluewing, of course family matters, and I love you, it's just that.. I spent so many moons with the Tribe, I can't just.. leave them like that.''

 Bluewing's tail dropped. ''Can you at least think about it? Please?''

 The she-cat hesitated, then nodded. ''I will. I'll tell you tomorrow if I'll come with you or stay here.''

 ''Thank you.'' Bluewing purred and lay down back in her nest. ''And I'm sorry that I snapped at you earlier.''

 ''It's fine, don't worry.'' Mist purred, but once her sister was asleep, she left the prey-hunters' cave and looked around. Everything was quiet now. Stoneteller's body had been buried and the Tribe still grieved his and Swoop's deaths.

 After a while, she left the cave and sat down, looking at the night sky. Water drops fell on her fur from the waterfall, but she didn't mind.

 Tribe of Endless Hunting.. what am I supposed to do? I can't just abandon my Tribe, but I can't abandon Bluewing, either!

 She then had an idea. She quickly got up, turned around and ran back in the cave. Stormfur chose to join the Tribe only because he loved Brook. Surely he had some advice for her?

 She quietly padded toward the cave-guards' cave and went inside, careful not to wake up the others. She looked around for the dark gray tom and soon saw him.

 ''Stormfur!'' She whispered. ''Wake up!''

 The tom didn't move.

 ''Stormfur!'' Mist touched the tom with a front paw.

 ''Huh?'' He yawned and opened his eyes. Once he saw Mist, he blinked. ''What's wrong?''

 ''Come with me.'' She whispered and turned around, padding out of the cave. She heard paw steps behind her, which meant that Stormfur was following her.
