the petals we shed \\ a warrior cat fanfiction

❝ What if the cats meant to protect you were the ones tearing everything apart?
And what would you do if the stars stayed silent while it happened? ❞

Mothkit was born into ThornClan, where her family was respected, her future certain, and her life mostly quiet-until everything changed. Her mentor, killed. Her best friend, dead. Warriors, dying without explanation. Her Clan, collapsing under secrets it refuses to name. But no one seems to notice that something is deeply wrong.

When Mothpaw loses the last thing keeping her together, she's forced to lead what's left of her broken Clanmates into the unknown. But running from ruin doesn't mean it won't follow.

The stars have spoken. A prophecy has been given. But Mothpaw doesn't want to be a leader, and she's not sure she even believes in destiny.

She just wants the killing to stop.

But some cats are meant to burn the forest down before they build something new.
