Fallen Lavender

# ⚜Chapter One⚜

"Swiftstar, what are we going to do about all of this.. This mess!"

Tigerstep. My trusted companion, my best friend..my mate.
I love her deeply. She's the motavation that kept me going, until today happened.

Today was a day I would have never imagined, never wanted..

"Swiftstar? May I speak to you?" The cat asked, glancing at Tigerstep he added, "alone?"

Cloudstep. My deputy. Cloudstep was the cat I deeply trusted, and easily would allow him to take my place..

I nodded briefly, and Cloudstep walked in as Tigerstep exited.

"What is it?" I asked, expecting something as simple as a stale badger hole on the edge of the lavender field.

"I've,, I've been meaning to talk to you about this.." He said, his tail tip flicking nervously.

I had many things that he *could* say, but I wasn't expecting this..

# ⚜Chapter Two⚜

**"I'm leaving LavenderClan."**

The words rang in my ears, and I simply sat, shocked with disbelief. *Leaving? Cloudstep can't just,, just leave!*

I was, to put it simply, heartbroken. However, I decided to bottle up my feelings and stay calm.

"Very well then." Cloudstep half sighed with relief, and at the den entrance he added,
"Thank you, Swiftstar."

Those last words completely shattered me. Little did I know, this would be the first of many more..

One by one, each cat left.

Cherryfrost.

Lionpaw.

Frostedpool.

**Oakfrost.**

**Silverstep.**

```
I simply didn't know how to react.

```

It was just me and Tigerstep by now..

# 🔱Chapter Three🔱

I didn't know what to do. So I decided I too, would leave my home. I walked with Tigerstep, I don't know where, but somewhere. Somehow, someway, we got separated. I was alone now. Alone, hungry, tired, the list could go on and on. I felt broken, shattered... Dead. I'd lost what was important to me, what I'd been working towards all of my life. I couldn't believe it. Who would help me? I had nothing. There was no prey for miles. Eventually I came across a twolegplace. I crossed Thunderpaths, avoided Twolegs but mostly, shattered all over the floor.
Until one night, I was desperate. Starving, longing, skinny, tired, and like a lone wolf, alone, misunderstood, and labeled to be dangerous.

Until, I got snappy. I don't know what you'd expect from a cat who'd lost everything that is important to him, but, my line.. Snapped. My calm and understanding personality, simply dissolved. It was replaced with quiet and snappy, craving to get revenge on the one thing I believed took my perfect life away- BeeClan. I wanted to hunt them down, to kill them. Once again, bottling up my feelings, I remained quiet.

# ⚜Chapter 4⚜

I walked.

And walked.

And walked some more.

Until eventually I came across a twolegplace.

I saw a cat.

Now a cat isn't very rare in twolegplace.

But I believed this cat was different.

I followed her. She lead me to the mountains. From there I found out she was a cat from a Clan called GrimeClan.

I joined GrimeClan, and enjoyed it for a while.

Not too long after that, GrimeClan crumbled, for some unexplained reason.

It was better than any Clan I'd known, better than LavenderClan, for sure.

I was a bit sad and alone after that; and decided to keep traveling.

# This is where Swiftstep has gotten to on AJ role-play! When he joins another Clan, the story will keep writing!
