Umberkit was the first kit I had ever won from a litter. I loved her, and I showered her with love during childhood. She snuck out of ThunderClan camp and was scarred. She had a whole hero plot and villain arc, and her battle pyramid was everything to me. More importantly, I loved roleplaying her because of her friends and family. Unfortunately, I was not able to roleplay her at all during apprenticehood and early warriorhood due to oorp reasons, and when I came back, she was already 31 moons. Now she's 36. I felt as if I had wasted her life. She had new siblings and everything- and the ThunderClan plot was going on. I debated between killing her off and bringing her back for a bittersweet death plot. I couldn't let her go without closure. So she became a loner, Belladonna. She met so many of her ThunderClan friends and family. She was basically disowned by her father. Then, she joined SkyClan as Belladonnapride. She met her other side of the family there. Her plot had changed drastically, but I loved her anyway. Umberkit, Umberpaw, Umber, Belladonna, Belladonnapride, and now, Umberkit again... Thank you to all those who have been in her life. Now, I have to end the story somewhere. Rest in peace, Belladonna. Thread 1: Yearning Invitees: Cranehymn (Sapling) - Safe at SkyClan, Umber wonders if she should go home to see her father one last time. She confides in her cousin, Cranehymn, about her former disbanded rogue group that wanted to chase her down. Umber worries that if she doesn't take the chance now, she'll never get the chance to see Howlingfright again, despite ending on bad terms. Umber begins to head out towards ThunderClan at sundown. It's raining. She has a bad feeling, but goes anyway. Thread 2: Murder Invitees: Sunbeamskip (Jaz), Valeur (Sienna), Trickery (Tyler) - The rain gets heavier. On her way there, she smells a strange scent. She's afraid it might be her old rogue group, but it turns out to be much more serious. Blinded by the rain and the mud slippery beneath her feet, she's at a disadvantage. Try as she might, and despite her normally excellent fighting skills, it's hard for her to battle two warriors at once in unfamiliar terrain. Someone seems to be commanding them... but who? They corner her to a cliff ledge, where the mud shifts under her paws, causing a mudslide. Thread 3: Witnesses and Final Words Invitees: Howlingfright (Cinn), Whisperingcrescent (Truthless), and Cranehymn (Sapling) - Umber sustained horrible injuries in the fall. Her aggressors are gone- unless they aren't? Umber doesn't know- she can barely think with the world spinning and mud coating her eyes. She was so, so close- right at the edge of ThunderClan territory. She can even see the familiar mines from here. There seems to have been witnesses. Crane, from SkyClan. And... her father, Howlingfright. Her heart races. There's so much to say, but so little time.
