Stormy padded across the Twolegplace, It was home, dangerous and ugly, but home. Stormy heard a loud yowl of terror. What was that? What's going on? Stormy bolted towards the shriek and understood why it was a shriek of terror, a golden tabby she-cat lay on the cold stone floor. A pool of blood surrounded her, her neck was sliced with claw marks. "What happened? What did you do?" Stormy asked. "I-I-" the golden tabby gasped for air. "I tried to leave BloodClan.... And- T-They got me." Stormy looked at her, confused on what to say. "What's your name?" Stormy asked. "Sunny...." The she-cat rasped. "Okay... Sunny? Um, I'll go get some herbs to help you. Just hold on a little longer!" Stormy ran to her Twoleg den, sped around the back, and grabbed some cobwebs that stretched across the garden plants, snagged some Marigold, and ran back to Sunny. "Let me see your neck.." Sunny lifted her head. Stormy put the marigold on the deep wound and attached cobwebs on top. Stormy saw some spilled honey on the ground and used it to treat Sunny. "Th-Thank you. What's your name?" Sunny looked a lot better since the attack. "Stormy. I'm in BloodClan." Sunny backed away, eyes wide in fear."Don't worry! I won't hurt you. I helped you. Remember?" I knew that would happen! Then why did I say that?! Stupid, Stupid, Stupid! "BLOODCLAN TRIED TO KILL ME! I THOUGHT YOU COULD BE TRUSTED!!!!!!!!!" Sunny ran into the darkness but then stopped. "Scourge will die. You'll be nothing with your precious leader. BloodClan will crumble and fall! You will all turn on each other! HAHAHAHA! Then you'll know what it's like to feel helpless! You'll all be like me, weak and defenseless!" Stormy hissed. "How DARE you?! You'll pay for that!" Sunny grinned evilly. "Heheh. No..." She unsheathed her claws. "You'll pay for being in BloodClan. I doubt your strong like them. I never see you in thier patrols." Sunny made a throat cutting gesture. Sunny lunged at Stormy but Stormy dodged out of the way. "That's becuase I don't go on the patrols!" Stormy ran a claw through Sunny's side. Then she jumped on top of her. Stormy raked Sunny's spine. "AHHHHHHH! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! YOUR A SAVAGE FIGHTER! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!" Stormy smiled. "I will if you take back what you said." She walked up to Sunny. "Never." "Very well." Stormy stabbed at Sunny's heart. Sunny coughed and fell, her body lifeless and in her own blood. Stormy licked her blood-covered paw. She pricked her ears as she heard paw steps. More? Stormy arched her back. "WHO ARE YOU?! SHOW YOURSELF!" A brown tabby tom emerged from the shadows, walked around Sunny's dead body, and sat in front of Stormy. "Chill. It's me, Luke." Luke looked at Stormy's victim. "Yeesh! Did you kill her?" He asked, sounding suprised. Stormy nodded. "Whoa! Sweet kill!" Luke's eyes gleamed with joy. Stormy continued to lick her paw. She stopped mid-lick when she noticed Luke looking at her. He looked away. He likes me. Stormy thought. That's cool. I mean he is cute too.... Stormy looked at Luke and they both blushed. "Oh. Scourge wants to talk to BloodClan today. He says it's urgent." Luke told her. "A meeting? How urgent?" Luke shrugged.
******************
The Twolegplace was dark. The moonlight showered over the dens. All of BloodClan was gathered in the meeting ally way. Stormy sat next to Luke. Yowls of impatient cats filled the ally way. "BloodClan. Give me your attention." Scourge yowled. Silence filled the Twolegplace. "I have summoned you all here for a announcement." Scourge continued. "BloodClan is venturing to the forest." The forest? Why? Is the Twolegplace not safe anymore? Stormy thought. "We will have more room to hunt and sleep. We will have real food instead of Twoleg food. Not to mention we will become stronger." Scourge hopped down from the dumpster, and headed to the forest. The others did the same. Soon a white kittypet ran up to Stormy. "Have you seen Sunny? She didn't respond to me when I called for her." The white she-cat whimpered. Stormy felt a stab of guilt realizing that Sunny didn't respond because she was dead. Because I killed her. She died by me. "She's-" Stormy didn't bother to finish. She turned her head to her Clan and continued to follow. She would still be alive if I hadn't told her I was in BloodClan. She would still be alive if I hadn't lashed out at her. But I did. I told her I was in BloodClan, and she died. Stormy hung her head low. "Are you okay Stormy? What's-" Before Luke could finish Stormy picked her head up. "I'm fine. Let's continue." Luke looked hurt. I didn't mean it that hard. Stormy put her head under Luke's chin. "I'm okay. I just feel a bit guilty after killing Sunny and the kittypet that called for her. Is that wrong?" Stormy felt relief wash over her after saying that. "No. You just felt threatened and didn't know that she had others who knew her. And I have something to confess too." Luke looked Stormy in the eye. " I never felt like I belonged in BloodClan. All the kill or be killed feels wrong." He feels the same way that I do. "Luke. We can run away from Scourge's control. We don't have to stay here and be miserable. There's still time for us to change our actions." Stormy looked into Luke's amber eyes. "When we are in the forest, we flee BloodClan." Stormy pressed her self on Luke's side. They bothed purred. This is who I belong with. Luke loves me like I love him. Nothing can tear that apart. Luke sighed. "Okay. We don't have to live like this anymore right?" "Right." Stormy repeated.
************************************************
Luke and Stormy set their first paw on the forest. The grass felt springy under them. "Let's go. Follow me." Stormy bolted away from BloodClan. Luke followed. Stormy skidded to a stop when she saw a huge grass clearing with a stream and slant rock that looked like a good place to call meetings. "This is it Luke. This is where we can restart our lives. We will create a new Clan. One that doesn't rely on killing. It'll be like the other Clans!" Stormy was filled with pride. "Okay but all you have is me and you. That's a duo. We need more cats to be a Clan." Luke pointed out. "Then let's get them! I'm sure there are other cats like us. We can get them to join us!" Stormy hopped up and down with excitement. "But first I must give you your warrior name. From now on you shall be known as Lukeclaw. And I will be Stormstar, leader of StormClan."
