'it will be alright, stormkit.' they said. they lied. look how it all turned out. Betrayal, guilt, woe. the night continued on, it's sorrowful sky filled with thunderclouds. ~ c'mon! What are you waiting for, stormpaw? ~ the voice sounded, echoing through the hollow of the forest, the hollow of his head. whiplash. Stormshudder sat up straight in his nest, still uncomfortable. After just arriving, she thought he'd never get used to the scratchy nests and the snoring warriors. The ivy bent down the walls of the warriors den, leaves curled up after a cold leaf-bare. multicolored blue and yellow eyes scanned the room, looking for the source of the voice. ~ I'm out here! Hurry up, orm. They're waiting. ~ orm... a nickname seemingly buried underneath the layers of the earth. A nickname from his childhood. Dazed, the golden brown tom exited his nest curiously, following the voice which sounded ever so clearly. Stormshudder walked paw by paw, lifting each up to meet the other as xe quietly walked underneath the moonlight. The moonbeams smothered him in silver light, setting xyr pelt ablaze. ~ just a little farther... ~ Stormshudder followed the voice, paws dragging lightly behind xem in the dirt. he stood up tall for a moment, his tall figure shadowing over in the moonlight. Xe lifted a tufted ear, attempting to hear the voice. ~ down by the river… ~ Stormshudder snapped back, eyes following down to the river, its rushing waters creating such a beautiful and deep sound. Orm walked through the sand, down the many rocks until he sat against the bank of the river. Small, delicate little silver fish scurried in the water, their bodies twisting one with the rushing waves. Stormshudder swatted at the water with a paw, making ripples all around. Soon, the silver fish swam away, and within the river, a reflection of xemself appeared in the water. two playful apprentices ran by in the water, himself and his late sister, solareclipse. In the visionary of the water, xe saw himself getting swatted at by his sister, xem falling into the water. ~what are you so scared of, Stormshudder?~ Stormshudder lurched forward, the rivers waters sweeping him away down the rough rivers as xe succumbed to the river. /must… get out. For barn-owlkit. For pipitcharm. Evan. Blu./ yet knowing who was waiting for him back in the camp, xe couldn’t bring himself to leave. The sharp rocks lay clear in sight at the end of the river, their prominence well-known. And yet, the piercing edge of them would break multiple hearts. under the moonlight, the river filled with blood. soon, the body of a caring father, a once-promising warrior, would float to the surface. ~ your home. ~
GOD I’m literally sobbing right now. If your wondering still how he died, xe began to hallucinate and become a tad delusional once he came back to Riverclan. Xe died after hitting his head against a sharp rock. :(
