They were moving to RiverClan. Why wasn't she angry about that? It didn't make sense. While others were fuming about the move, the merging of the Clans, Stormgaze was happy. She genuinely wanted to move, and couldn't wait to step foot into the territory, to feel the water on her paws. That wasn't normal for a Clan-born cat, was it? Was she being disloyal to her clan? No, that couldn't be right. What was wrong with her?
Her ears flattened as she looked among her Clanmates. They were all milling about the area, speaking their minds of the issue at hand. Stormgaze was sitting alone, her mind a mess and her fur rumpled. She didn't want to admit what she knew she had felt long ago. Always dreaming of the river, wishing to eat fish and swim along all the others of Riverclan.
She was meant to be a Riverclanner, and now she could. But the happiness she felt made her stomach twist in sickness. Why did the thought make her so unsteady? She was finally going to be comfortable where she lived.
If only she knew how to process her own emotions.
