[Silver]

A dark figure darted on swift and silent feet as quickly from the heart of TreeClan's dens as she could. She couldn't take this anymore, it was just ridiculous! She was a Warrior now and everyone was talking about things she didn't really care about. She noticed the eyes on her and the whispers as she became more like her mother each and every day. She held herself with pride and confidence but just now her movements were quick and jerky and her fluffy tail was lashing out around her as a low, constant growl left her in a steady pulse of sound. She was so done with this, she couldn't take anymore! Why did they expect her to either be just like her parents or be someone completely different from herself? She had never pretended to be a nice cat but she did care about her clan's safety and well-being. And then there was Lionstar with his precious family and she didn't matter anymore and she was tired of that fact hurting her so much.

Deciding going out to hunt was a good way to vent her frustrations, Ravenstorm had left in the dead of night, lean body disappearing in the shadows she so loved and heading deep into the territory that made up her home. She hit Wildflower Clearing quickly and instead of going hunting she went for the first tree she could find and with a snarl of rage and frustration she ran for it and slammed her body into the trunk of the tree as hard as she could. Pain radiated out of her shoulder but she didn't care as she slammed herself into the tree over and over again leaving claw marks on the bare and vibrating the tree with each attack of her body against it. Eventually she was breathing hard and fast and a strangled cry left her as she finally dropped onto the ground with her energy spent. She just didn't understand why everyone was like this. Was it so terrible for her to want something different for herself?

What was wrong with her that she couldn't even trust her own family? Why was she always alone surrounded by her clanmates? Her father's words still filled her ears from many moons ago and she considered that maybe he was right and she didn't belong in TreeClan at all. Her mother would kill her though, and Ravenstorm felt that maybe she didn't care anymore. She just needed...she needed...something had to change and she had no outlet for the emotions seething through her. She needed...someone to talk to.
