As Sabbath's black paws brushed along the ground to the freshkill pile.Taking a plump vole she lay down and ripped through her prey. She beckoned with her tail for Chaos to take a seat. "I need to talk to you Chaos, but first lets go sit in the shadows. I can't stand any cats watching us!" Sabbath gulped down her prey, and she slid into the shadow of a great tree. " Thats better, now did Darklead ever mentioned my father? His name was Darkmoon." Sabbath licked the side of her mouth, her tail rapped around her paws as she got more comfortable. The black and white she-cat's eyes lit up as raven flew over head, quickly she looked back at Chaos.

"No. I think..." This was hard, talking about her past. But she made herself go on. "I think she cheated on Darkmoon. Later on. I don't think she ever thought we'd know each other. She was so careful about it. She thought my father would never know." Chaos let out a bitter laugh. "She never knew he had seven queens going then, and one of them was her. I didn't either, for a while, but then he told me. I refused to see him, and..." she pointed to the scar on her left ear, "I got this before I could run away."

((No problem))
Sabbath put on a cold face. " I don't want you to take this the wrong way but your father was a dirty rat!" Sabbath's eyes filled with rage at the thought of her mother being cheated on. Sabbath strangely felt kind of comfortable talking about her past, it was nice to get it off her chest."I hope no-cat thinks I'm soft when word gets out about us. News Spreads like wild fire in this camp." Sabbath didn't let Chaos reply just yet."You can't be soft in this word, I say you have to show power! Take charge," Sabbaths voice trailed off."Thats what Darkleaf would always do..." The she-cat looked back at Chaos, then the ground she did not want Chaos to see her emotion. Sabbath whispered to herself. "I felt stronger with Darkleaf and Darkmoon."

Chaos agreed wholeheartedly. If you showed emotion, if you showed weakness, cats would walk all over you. She knew all about that. Movement at the corner of her vision caught her attention. She turned to look. It was a large rat, baring its teeth and snarling at her. Chaos leaped onto it, baring her own teeth as she sprang. She bit down on the rat's spine and felt her teeth meet in its neck. She shook it out of her mouth and clawed its head off, just for good measure. Then she smiled. "Yes, Sabbath. My father was a rat. As it happens, he was a rat much like this one." She gestured to the mangled lump of blood and fur lying on the ground beside her. "Large, determined and a good fighter." Was it wise to say this next? She almost left then and there. But Sabbath had laid bare her secrets. It couldn't be so hard for her to do the same. Besides, this was Darkleaf's daughter. "And yes, I was scared of him. But you know what?" Chaos didn't give her companion time to guess. "I'm not anymore. I'm gonna live my life!" And with this proclaimation, Chaos felt a strange sensation in her heart. She racked her brains, trying to name it. Then she realized what this feeling was. It was freedom.

((What is your avatar? Just wondering.))
Freedom? This world had no freedom. Cats trapped in the paws of fate, that wasn't freedom. Suddenly, something clicked in Sabbath's mind. If Darkleaf had a kit with a loner, then what about Darkmoon? Darkleaf was cheating on Darkmoon! "Do you even care that Darkleaf was cheating on Darkmoon? It is true, you realize?"
The white and black she-cat never thought she would get angry at Darkleaf, but anger was a strange force. It could turn on anycat. Sabbath bolted up and with that she looked into the sky. Where are my parents? They can't be in the sky thats fox-dung! Sabbath spit up at the sky. "where are my parents?!?" She hissed with fury. The she-cat warrior settled down, but not by much. " Rage doesn't even begin to cover how I feel about the mouse-brained Starclan.There are no words in this world that can describe how I feel." Sabbath still looked in the night sky, the stars almost mocking her.Chaos and I will find a way to get back Starclan. They will fall, fall down hard.

((It's a cat hiding in the grass!)) "Where are my parents?" Chaos echoed. Well, she knew where one of them was. Out roaming loner territory, being a stupid, cowardly rat. But where was Darkleaf? "I don't know." Had she really just said that out loud? Caution had always dictated that she keep her thoughts inside. But now that she'd said that... "Not StarClan. StarClan's only where the mouse-brained cats go. The ones who are stupid enough to want to go there." Where was Darkleaf? Was she still searching for a place to be? Had she already found it? Or was she truly gone, her soul dragged into oblivion by the flames that had ravaged her body? Chaos gazed up at the night sky. It looked, she thought philosophically, like someone had scattered mustard seeds onto the dark forest floor. It was beautiful. Then she remembered who those mustard seeds were, and spat disdainfully. "Don't waste your energy being angry at StarClan, Sabbath. Murderers like them don't deserve a moment of your time."

Sabbath still stared into the night sky, the stars glistening.It was almost overwhelming for Sabbath to think where her parents were. She would wonder for the rest of her life until she died and found them. Will I ever find my parents? Will I find them together?Or will Darkleaf be with Chaos's dad? Many things spun around Sabbaths mind, she felt dizzy. "Your right Chaos, Starclan does not need anything. Yet still I wonder about the mysteries that the sky must hold. Yet again my twisted mind wonders about a lot of things. Like do I have any other siblings? Did Darkleaf have any other secrets that she held? Is she watching us now? Is she regretting not telling us?" Sabbath had just spewed out her thoughts she wondered if that was the best thing to do. The dark sky it can mean lots of things to many cats, but what is its real meaning? Someday I will find my past, and when that day comes I will never forget it.

Chaos felt that Sabbath needed some reassurance. Normally, she would have used this opportunity to say something hateful. But... somehow she didn't feel she could do that to Sabbath. Her half-sister was the only cat who accepted her, and the only cat that she accepted. She didn't feel she could give that up. So she just said, "Wherever she is, Sabbath, Darkleaf is happy. I know this sounds... hypocritical, but don't be jealous of her for that. We have all we need right here." As soon as she said that, she wondered at herself. She started lifelong grudges, she didn't avoid them! But again, this was Sabbath. Her half-sister. The one cat in the world who accepted her. "Thank you," she whispered, not even knowing who she was talking to. "Thank you for accepting me."

For the first time in almost her hole life she felt, A rush of warm feeling flooded through her white body. "Chaos, it seems as if I have know you all my life. I trust you." Sabbath had never said that to a norther cat before. The Shadowclan warrior purred of joy. She gave Chaos a lick on the ear a jester of friendliness. Although Sabbath was quit thrilled to have Chaos near her something sat at the back of her head.I hope me and Chaos will survive in Shadowclan, when word gets out what will the other cats think? Wait I have no need to worry I have Chaos by my side. Sabbath shook her head erasing her dreadful thoughts. The moon was high over the cats heads. " Its midnight, this is when I usually take a stroll and sit under a ancient tree. I remember playing under it when I was as young as a kit." Sabbath eyes darted to one star to another. The moon changed Chaos's smoky pelt into a silvery grey. Sabbath put her head down and watched the grass beneath her.
((I hope I was not power playing with, "The moon changed Chaos's smoky pelt into a silvery grey." if I was I can change it.))
