Telling Snakepaw The Truth.

Shinepool read Snakepaw deep into Thunderclan territory, were no one could hear her telling Snakepaw about what had happened to Metalshard. She stopped at a small clearing of grass, and sat down. She looked down nervously and waited for Snakepaw. He's not gonna like this... Shinepool thought.

Snakepaw went to meet the medicine cat he had talked to once. He found her and padded towards her,"I'm here".

Shinepool looked up at Snakepaw. She took a deep breath. "Well," She started. "It all began when I was a paw. Metalshard was a new warrior. We were walking in the forest, talking, playing, and what not." She mewed. "And, suddenly, Sootpelt, a warrior of Skyclan came to us. She was sad, depressed, and she begged for us to kill her. I wanted to, beacuse Sootpelt killed my mother, Dragonsoul." She hissed.

"So, I was about to kill Sootpelt myself, when Metalshard jumped infront of me, and killed her. She had said that Dragonsoul told her to do it, so that I wouldn't have a life of darkness and regret."

"So, about a moon later, the leader of Skyclan forced our leader, Deadstar, to banish Metalshard from Thunderclan. He was going to benish me to, but Thunderclan was ion need of a medicine cat. So, he banished Metalshard, when it wasnt her fault. Sootpelt wanted to die." She finished.


"So there you have it, She was banished........ And, please forgive me...I know you from Skyclan..."

Snakepaw turned his head to the side. He had heard the story once long before. " and that's how i was born. My fater always said he loved a She-cat who had killed his mentor.I understand now",he said in a low growl.

Shinepool saddened. "Please, dont be angry." She pleaded, and stroked her tail along his spine. "I-im sorry.." She whispered.

He shook his head,"don't be,I grew up well enough without here".

Shinepool nodded. "Alright, well, im sure your clan is wandering were you are..." She mewed.
