[The Kingpin]

"Wow" meowed Nightclaw, wide eyed. "And to think if it wasn't for all that Stormheart, Sunclaw and I would never have known you" he added, the thought randomly occuring to him...

[Hopeflower]

"It's better that he doesn't know," Hawksight murmured. "But I never lied. At most, I didn't tell the whole truth." She paused, let out a long sigh. "How would you explain something like this to him? I tried to make it clear to you once - and your world was shattered. He's already broken up enough over my death. Why put him through even more pain?"

"Maybe not," Demontalon meowed. "Maybe you would have met me when you were old enough for Wraith to bring you for a visit. We'll never know." She shrugged.

[C S]

"Semantics" Fogcloud growled angrilly. "I risked my life to bring him back, and he's not even blood related! What you never told me was how you came together with a rogue! And how my father took him on as his own..." He snarled, shaking his head, confused, angry, and torn up...

[The Kingpin]

"Eh....doesn't really matter. life throws enough headaches at us as it is. why stress ourselves wondering what MIGHT have happened otherwise?" meowed Nightclaw with a chuckle. "A while ago you said something about Firestreak.....could you tell me about him?" he asked, knowing that by now he was probably starting to become a pain and planning to stop asking questions after this...even IF Demontalon decided to answer...

[Hopeflower]

"He is related to you by blood," Hawksight meowed. She lowered her head. "As for how...I didn't want it. When it happened, Snowstar and I were already in love." She looked back up at him, her mind going back to that day so many moons ago. "It goes back to when we were trapped in a breeding facility. Twolegs were capturing and holding cats in one of their nests." She shuddered at the memory. "A tom...the rogue...forced himself onto me. Snowstar killed him not long after." She swallowed hard, shaking her head. "I swear to you, I didn't want it...but I would never condemn innocent kits. Eaglekit and Lightstorm...Snowstar vowed to raise them as if they were his own. And he has raised Lightstorm as a father would. The rogue who sired them doesn't deserve to be remembered."

Demontalon chuckled. "Curious today, aren't you?" she meowed gently. "He was deputy of ThunderClan at one point. A good, loyal warrior. And Bloodspill's mate." She lifted one paw and gave it a lick.

[The Kingpin]

"ah" meowed Nightclaw. "what happened to him?" he asked, unable to help himself...

[Hopeflower]

"Dunno," Demontalon mewed thoughtfully. "I guess he became a loner...I haven't seen him around."

[C S]

Fogcloud let his gaze drop, beginning to understand. His anger was simply because of the fact he found out like he had. Now that Hawksight was dead, Lightstorm was truelly alone... despite his father accepting him, he was still all alone in the long run. His parents and brother were dead... and the gray tom felt horrible; as he'd planned to tell his brother the truth...

[Hopeflower]

Hawksight fixed a broken amber gaze on Fogcloud, wishing she knew what was going on in his mind. Was he understanding...or would he leave in a blind rage again?

[C S]

"I truelly am my father's son" Fogcloud muttered. "Stubborn..." He growled as he raised his eyes to meet his mother's. He started to approach, slow at first, before jogging the rest of the distance, as if he wanted to bury his face in her pelt like a kit again, but then stopped himself. Built up sorrow finally broke the surface when he yowled "Im sorry! Mother! I never meant what I said before! I never hated you- or the others!" He let his body drop, and his pelt quivered. "Could you ever...ever forgive me?!"

[Hopeflower]

Startled, Hawksight crouched in front of her son and gently licked his head, between the ears as if he were a kit again and she were soothing his worries. "You were angry with me," she murmured. "Anyone can get angry and say things they don't mean." A soft purr rose in her throat. "Of course I can forgive you."

[C S]

"How...how did you die?" Fogcloud growled, his spirits rising now that he knew and understood what happened in the past...

[Hopeflower]

"...A fire sprung up out of nowhere while I was out hunting," Hawksight meowed, trying not to recall the agony that lasted what had seemed an eternity before the soft darkness had rescued her from her suffering. "I was in the wrong place at the wrong time."

[TyrannoTitan]

Firestreak lay down on a low lying branch overlooking the camp, high enough to make it difficult to spot the scarred tom, but low enough that he wouldn't break his neck if he fell. He scaled the tree while out of sight, not exactly wanting to ruin his ruse of being a crippled elder. From his perch, he could see much of the camp. Memories clawed their way into his mind...it was hard to push them away. Firestreak thought himself doomed; with no family, no friends, and no legacy, he felt he had nothing to lose, hence why he tormented the rogues living out in the forest, despite it risking his life. Now that he was in the camp, even without being part of the clan...it forced him to reminisce when he was deputy. His goals, then, were simple: Protect the clan, no matter the cost. Even before Bloodspill came along, he had something to live for...now, as an old fool, he was alone and without purpose. Perhaps...perhaps he had come back to the clan to die...to die where he felt he belonged most.

[The Kingpin]

"Brings back memories, doesn't it?" growled Wraith's voice lowly on a branch overhanging Firestreak's...


Nightclaw nodded. "looks like alot of the old clan members just disappeared...and the younger ones stuck around" he murmured, before laying on his side, sunning himself in the warm leaf-fall sun.....it struck him as amusing that a moon or two from now he'd be doing that to keep warm in the cold leaf-bare days...

[C S]

Fogcloud fell silent, unable to respond. He simply got up and looked into his mother's eyes. The corners of his jaws twitched repeatedly. It was a long silence before he finally mewed "And...is Demontalon with you?" He hadn't seen the cat after the clans were scattered... and in the passing moons, he had started to accept the fact that she might have perished amongst countless others....

[TyrannoTitan]

"Unfortunately." Firestreak responded with a sigh, shifting into a more comfortable position.

[The Kingpin]

"I've spent almost half my lifetime as a loner, and if there's one thing i've learned from it all, it's this: Despite the ups and downs the clan goes through, the memories i have from my life as a Clan cat will always be better than those i experienced as a loner. to wake up every morning knowing you're surrounded by cats who would stand at your side through thick and thin, and wouldn't kill you to get your home, your food or even the simple satisfaction of saying they killed you in the next random conversation with another loner" growled Wraith, remembering for the first time in moons the hardships of life as a loner...

[Hopeflower]

"No," Hawksight mewed. "She's alive and well."

"So it would seem," Demontalon murmured, settling into a crouch with a quiet, content sigh as the sun warmed her black fur.

[C S]

Fogcloud nodded slowly. It was good to hear that his old love was still alive. He felt a stab a guilt at the things he'd done to her in the past. "She's in a clan? Are my sisters alright? Is Lightstorm alright?"
