Leaving for good (Open)

[Deleted]

(It doesn't matter what age the cat is! Feel free to join in, but I am only in need of one cat for this thread.)

Larksong knew today was the day she was going to leave Midnightclan. Nobody was going to stop her. but... She knew that no one would even realize that she was gone. She couldn't leave without a single cat knowing she was gone. It didn't feel right. She sat down outside of the warriors den. Hopefully, somebody will come talk to me. I'll be friendly for a bit, but then I'll tell them I'm leaving. That's simple enough... Right? She was really anxious, but she stayed where she was. 

Honestly, she didn't feel that bad about leaving the clan. Maybe she would finally be able to forget... him... The rouge she had fallen head over heels in love with... Then, he left. Without saying a single word to her. She tried telling her it was for the best. It was breaking the warrior code, right? but... It didn't feel wrong. He taught her how to see the world in a prettier way... He paid attention to her... He loved her... Or so she thought. Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. She wouldn't be able to find out. That was okay. She wasn't sure she wanted to know the answer, anyway. 

Clearing the horrible memory from her head, she sighed. Maybe she would move on. Maybe she would find a mate who she could trust. Or a mate who she knew loved her. but, she had to concentrate on what was happening now. Time passed slowly as she waited for someone to come talk to her...

Amberleaf exited the warrior's den and stretched, blinking as the light momentarily blinded her. She figured she'd be called for patrol soon, so she wanted to be ready.

Even though Amberleaf had been accepted in MidnightClan, she still felt like an outsider. Her mate and kits were the only ones who really spoke to her, and she was really too shy to try and make friends. Shadowpaw was so much different than her mother.

As Amberleaf gazed around the clearing, she noticed a cat sitting alone. Larksong was her name, Amberleaf remembered. She realized that she had put off making friends for too long. Maybe today could be the day.

As she padded over to the cat, she began to sense a weird vibe coming from Larksong. It almost made Amberleaf turn around, but she decided to be brave today.

"Hello," she mewed softly as she approached.

Larksong noticed as a cat started walking in her direction. She took a deep breath. I have to be brave. The cat walked up to her and she was terrified on the inside. but on the outside, she looked just like every other cat. She was a bit surprised she could remain so calm on the outside but be so scared on the inside. It was a really weird feeling...

"Hello, I'm Larksong!" she mewed in a happy voice, faking a smile. "You are Amberleaf, right?" She knew a lot of cats, even if she never talked to them. I'm just a nobody in this clan, I doubt she knows my name. If she does, I'm surprised...

"Yes, that's my name," Amberleaf mewed, not surprised that the she-cat knew who she was. She was probably a pretty infamous cat in MidnightClan.

"You're Larksong, right?" she asked the she-cat. Since Amberleaf didn't talk much, she observed other cats. Larksong didn't seem to be one of the more involved warriors, but that was okay. Amberleaf understood- even before she moved here, she was quiet and reserved within her own clan.

"Yeah, I am Larksong," she mewed. Wow, I'm surprised. Someone actually knows my name... It was surprising, but she didn't act like it. Clan cats usually know there clan-mates names. I guess other cats might know my name... but that doesn't change anything. I'm still leaving this clan. I'm useless to Midnightclan.

"So, how are you this morning?" Larksong asked, unsure of what to say. She hadn't exactly planned what she was going to say to the cat she talked to...

"I'm fine," Amberleaf mewed. She watched as her daughter darted across the clearing, practicing her fighting with a couple of other apprentices.

"I still haven't quite gotten used to being a warrior after being in the nursery for so long," Amberleaf mewed, trying to start a conversation, anything to break the awkward silence.
