ONESHOT: A SECRET LOVE
I first met him here- at fourtrees. I never expected to have a second love, but I couldn't control it- I couldn't avoid it. When you first see him, you think that he must be trouble- and you'd be right. Our love should never have happened, but that doesn't change the past. Who is he, you ask? His name is Scourge, the former leader of the dreaded BloodClan.
Tigerstar brought him and his clan into the forest. A foolish mistake- he should have known that. His ambition brought him to a terrible end, being killed by Scourge.
A first I was horrified to see such a small cat can cause such a terrible death, but, as I thought about it, I admired him. How? Even I don't know. I was so foolish- so nearsighted- when I decided to see him again... in secret.
Don't get me wrong- I still loved Firestar and ThunderClan, and I wanted no harm brought to them- StarClan forbid! But I couldn't help feeling... something... towards Scourge, and I knew he felt it towards me too. He told me that- the night I met him. He snuck into the camp and told me so.
We snuck away from the camp and he told me what his life was like. I couldn't help feeling bad for him. How would you feel if you were driven out of your home as a kit? But them he told me something that I couldn't believe. Tigerstar had attacked him and almost killed him when he was a kit! He told me how he ventured too far into the forest and was caught by a ThunderClan patrol. Tigerstar- then Tigerpaw- would have killed him if a cat in the patrol didn't stop him. He said she was a blue-gray cat. I'm pretty sure he meant Bluestar.
I was instantly in love with him at that moment for his bravery. Oh, how foolish I was! A mistake from the start! It should never had been made...
We snuck out every night together before the battle. We would talk about our lives, our goals, our achivements... I tried to tell him about StarClan, but he thought nothing of it.
The day before the battle, we met again. He asked me something that I wasn't prepared for. "Sandstorm," he purred in greeting. "Hi, Scourge," I purred back, entwining his tail with mine. He stepped back. "Sandstorm... I've been thinking about this for a while. I don't want to hurt you in the battle. I want you beside me always," He paused. "...Will you join BloodClan?"
Icy claws seemed to grip my heart. How could I leave ThunderClan and Firestar? But Scourge had made a good point. We sat there silently for a long time. Then something came to me. How can I love an evil tyrant, and think about abandoning and betraying everything I love for him? After that thought, I knew what the answer was. I couldn't go with him- I wouldn't. I would not abandon my clan for anything- not Scourge, not BloodClan, not even StarClan themselves, would stop me. I told him so, and we parted ways forever. I was upset at first, but I knew it was for the good of the clan, and I wouldn't rethink about it. My heart belongs to Firestar, and it always should have. I am glad I saw sence- I now know if I chose to go with him, I would have regretted it forever.
I know you must feel uncomfortable hearing my forbidden story, but I hope you now know what can happen if you if you fall in love. Remain loyal to your clan, and you will always be happy and loved.
I will never forget the cat I briefly loved or the way it happened. The memory of it is a punishment- one I deserve. But I accept the fate our warrior ancestors have set upon me. I am a cat of ThunderClan- a cat of the warrior code- a cat of StarClan, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Cool, huh? I don't think this ever happened, but the story itself is interesting. Comment!
