She looked into Fogpaw's eyes, not even blinking. SHe was so still, for so long. Finally, she spoke, "He blamed me for killing my mother and father. He knew it was his fault really, but I was the one who did it." She was becoming calmer as she spoke about it. "He was to prideful and stubborn. In the end, we both went our seperate ways, and he was left with the guilt, knowing it was his fault, while I left with the guilt of not being there to help him." Now she was whispering, as if her brother might come out of the shadows right now.

Fogpaw was confused by Stormdove's story, and the confusion showed in his dark gray eyes. "So wait..." He meowed, "How exactly did your parents die?" The tom's eyes were focused on the she-cat in front of him as he waited for her to explain.

Her eyes went out of focus again and she started her story. "When I was a just barely 6 moons, I began my apprenticeship. I was known as Dovepaw then. My mother and father were very proud of me. I was loyal ,and I did everything to help my clan. But my brother, Stonepaw felt differently. He knew our parents loved both of us, but he felt resentment toward me. We used to be very close, but he just wanted to be by himself later on. So I carried on, and started ignoring him. I thought that would please him. I was wrong. He got even angrier, and he attacked me. Mother and father came to help me, when he started saying that I attacked him. My parents turned on me. They were guilty that they ignored him, and they didn't think it through. I didn't want to fight them, but I had to. Our fight went until dawn, and I was badly wounded. My brother showed the leader my dead parents, and my wounds. I didn't deny it. I was too ashamed. They banished me, and that was when I became Stormdove. I felt like a bird flying away from the home I had destroyed." She laughed her bitter laugh once more, although it was weighed with saddness now.

Fogpaw's eyes clouded with sympathy and he moved closer to Stormdove. He pressed his body up against hers nervously, not knowing how she would react. "I'm sorry." He meowed, his voice quiet as he looked into the she-cat's eyes.

Stormdove looked at Fogpaw. "It's nothing but the past now." She mewed. She liked having Fogpaw against her. Why... She thought once more. A thought struck her. She turned to Fogpaw. "Don't tell anybody. Please!"

"Don't worry." Fogpaw meowed. "Your secret is safe with me." The tom glanced at his paws, not knowing what else to say. He was still right up against Stormdove, but he didn't want to move. He felt good when he was with her.

Stormdove suddenly relaxed. She liked being conforted by his warm pelt. She finally knew what it was. Love... she thought, purring.
