( ★ ) It had been several moons since she had asked Emberstar to join. Her life had been the most stable it had ever been. Somedays she thought about what her life would have been like if she hadn't of accidentally stumbled into her new home. She wouldn't have found a new purpose for her life...she would never have met her friends, or even Flycatcher. There wasn't a day that went by that she regretted joining the clan, and after meeting one of the other clan leaders, she was even more thankful it had been Thunderclan.
The sun was beginning to set, and Flamewhisker sat down amongst a group of her fellow clanmates. They were discussing some of the recent joiners, and suddenly one of the NPC's gazes fell upon her. "So, Flamewhisker. You've been with us for awhile now, and still nobody knows where you came from. You just showed up one day in our territory injured. I think we deserve to know what happened." the tom sneered, his gaze flicking to and from each of his comrades.
Flamewhisker's eyes widened in alarm, and she glanced around to each of them. When none of them said anything else, she lowered her gaze to her paws. The tabby shuffled them anxiously, not wanting to bring up those unwanted memories that she had long tried to bury. If this makes them trust you more, then tell them...they deserve to know.
With a deep inhale, the warrior slowly returned her gaze to her fellow clanmates. "If you must know...then I will share." Her voice tried to quiver, but she swallowed it back. "I was born not too far from here, in a forest that is on the other side of the twolegplace here. My mother and father were loners, I was raised by my mother and never met my father. We lived in a cave for the first few moons of my life, but two legs found us, and they took my siblings. My mother and I escaped, and she took me deeper into the forest. During our escape, my mother injured her leg and she wasn't able to hunt anymore. That is why I hunt so well...I fed both of us up until.." Her words caught in her throat, and panic flashed through her eyes. The cries...the howls...Her heart was racing and she began to feel lightheaded. I can't do this...
She clenched her eyes shut for a moment, and when she reopened them, she saw how interested they were. The warrior let out a deep breath, and slowly began again. "I'm not entirely sure where they came from, but somehow three dogs found us. These were not the small scrappy things that two legs occasionally walked in our old home. These were huge, slobbering beasts. I was hunting, and they surrounded me. I was backed into a corner, and I had to fight. The smaller of the three darted towards me, and I managed to fend him off, until the next one grabbed ahold of my shoulder, and threw me against the wall. I would have died, if my mother hadn't of distracted them. She got them to follow her, and that was the last time I saw her." Flamewhisker paused, her blood running cold as the last few words rolled off her tongue.
"I couldn't stay there after....I stumbled through the twolegplace, trying to find...well, I don't know what I was searching for. My wound started to become infected, and a kitty pet put some leaves on it. I didn't know she had no clue what she was talking about until later on. The twolegplace was too busy, there was no way I could stay there. I was almost hit several times by monsters, but I finally made it out. I found this forest, and well, it all becomes hazy after that."
