Warrior Cats: The Four Clans

Ebonystar and Rustfur

 

            A pitch-black cat with ice blue eyes padded out of camp on a clear summer night, thinking this would be her last time. She scented the air trying to gather as much of her clans scent as she could before she went, even though she knew she had left her clan in good hands. She padded to the edge of the moorland to where the clans borders didnt matter. She heard a rustling beside her and the black cat whipped her head around to it. A sleek pelted ginger she-cat stepped out of the tall grass. Her deep green eyes were full of grief but determination. "Are you ready Ebonystar?" she mewed in a hushed voice.

            Ebonystar mewed, "You know that this hurts me too, Rustfur. I really dont want to leave, but Starclan has showed me we arent to stay." Rustfur flicked her silver tail side to side as she looked away. Tears were now forming in the young she-cats eyes. Ebonystar rested her fluffy black tail, for which she had gotten the warrior name Ebonycloud for, on Rustfurs shoulder. "It can only hurt for so long." She tried to purr and comfort the young cat.

            Rustfur merely scoffed, "It isnt that I have changed my mind or anything, it was hard enough to leave you in Windclan while I lived in Riverclan, but now I have to leave them too." Rustfurs tears fell down freely.

"Twigpaw and Lilacpaw will miss you too I am sure." Ebonystar looked away. This was hurting so much. She reflected on all the cats she loved and respected. Her faithful warriors and friends would miss her, but she had to go. She looked to the stars above and sighed. She whispered, "I will miss you all so dearly. She looked back at Rustfur, Are you ready sister?"

Rustfur nodded, "It wont be easy but the pain will pass." Ebonystar nodded and the two cats padded slowly out of Windclan territory to wherever Starclan took them. As they padded on, Ebonystar thought about the cats she had grown to love. There was the ever loyal and wise, Levistorm. He had been in the clan longer than she had and she had loved to hear his advice. There was her ever loving and caring friend, Rosetail. They had been apprentices together and she respected her deeply. Her other friends like Frostpool and Starpaw would be missed too. Their newest apprentice Tabbypaw, enthusiastic and great help. It felt like a claw in her heart as she continued to think.

To keep her mind off of her clan she thought about the rival ones. Now her heart stung even more. She had many cats in the other clans she had grown fond of too. In Riverclan, she had respected and loved its leader Moonstar. Moonstar had been one of the wisest cats Ebonystar had known. There were many other cats in Riverclan she had loved too. More so there were cats that she hadnt known yet her sister had had strong bonds with them all.

In Shadowclan, there was Blizzardstar and Flamepelt. They were some of the wildest cats in the forest. Ebonystar chuckled to herself and Rustfur gave her a quizzical glance. Ebonystar mewed, "I was thinking of Blizzardstar and her proud, wily nature." Rustfur smiled. She had been a good friend of Blizzardstars. There were so many other Shadowclan cats on her mind that tears flowed down her face.
