Cautionary Tale: The mind. It can sometimes create an alternate reality, a false reality, to shield itself from trauma. From the things we fear, from the horrors we can’t even imagine.
Story:
Warning: contains spoilers for Fractured (2019)
Although he himself was never one, his mother was a warrior of Thunderclan. She had left to be with his loner father, but had told him everything of Clan life, including and especially their dedication to Starclan.
She had given him the Clan names. Stonekit when he was born, Stonepaw when he caught his first prey, and Stonesun when it was time they separated. Stonesun would’ve stayed with her, but his parents wanted him to have his own life with his mate, Algae.
Perhaps that was when things started going downhill. Algae had died in a hunting accident while just over halfway through her pregnancy with Stonesun’s kits. It was his fault. He had let her talk him into letting her hunt with him in spite of her pregnancy, had given her such a risky task, and hadn’t been fast enough to protect her from the talons.
It was extremely difficult, to say the least, but he eventually moved on and became mates with Jodie, a kittypet who could leave her ‘house’ as she pleased. With her, he had Paloma. He would have given her a warrior name, but Jodie wanted to honour her late denmate.
He told her to stay where she was. But frightened of a hawk, Paloma backed away too much, and fell down a steep ravine.
But everything was okay. Clan cats have healers.
He took Paloma there, poor thing with what was probably a broken leg, with Jodie following in a panic.
The medicine cat, Berryrain, was kind enough. He explained to the parents that the wound would take time to treat and that it would be best to do something in order to pass the time. Jodie stayed with their daughter while Stonesun went hunting.
He should have never left them.
When he returned, he was stopped by the warriors, asking what he was doing back. When he explained the obvious-- that he was checking on his mate and daughter, the warriors only looked back with confusion.
Maybe they weren’t there before. He told them to get Berryrain so that he could show them, but the elderly tom lied-- said that Stonesun had needed treatment for a head injury, that neither Jodie nor Paloma ever entered the camp.
Why? Why would they lie? Stonesun adamantly looked all over the camp, to the point that he had to be escorted out. It was at that point that he saw two unknown bodies of cats, their bellies torn open and cat claw marks staining their pelts.
They did something to his family!
It was hard getting in. Nettleclaw, who he had met before, was guarding the camp. It had to be done. Stonesun slit his throat before Nettleclaw could yowl for the others.
Stonesun snuck into the medicine den, and he found them! Berryrain stood over his daughter, her belly exposed, with Jodie passed out just behind them. Stonesun had attacked viciously before waking Jodie and grabbing their daughter by the scruff, racing away.
As he went, Berryrain had tried to explain to him how confused he was, how what he saw wasn’t what it seemed. What nonsense.
Warriors were charging after him. With the weight and Jodie still wobbly on her paws, he needed time. His mind flashed back to the time he witnessed twolegs deliberately set a fire. He let go of Paloma, holding her close, as he grabbed a branch and rubbed it with one, fierce sweep on the camp wall.
Panic could be heard all around as Stonesun fled with his family.
Not everyone was in camp. He came across Jaysong, who tried to stop him. Stonesun just wanted this to end, so he tore Jaysong’s throat out and ran.
But warriors don’t patrol alone, do they? Stonesun should have realized that sooner. He was shoved hard, and plummeted down a--was this the ravine?
Although his head was deeply injured, he still had time to say goodbye to his mate and daughter, their bodies pressing into him as they thanked him.
-------------------------------
But that’s not what happened.
When Paloma fell, he tried really hard to grab her! He really, really tried! Jodie’s shouting woke him. She was in his face, yelling and crying in panic while Paloma lay still.
Numbly, Stonesun pushed her away. He didn’t notice her fall onto a sharp stone as he turned away. Noise swam across from ear to ear, buzzing and buzzing.
He heard crying, and turned around back to the bodies.
He tucked them neatly together, making them look their best before leaving for the medicine cat of Shadowclan to get his head injury fixed.
When he was better, he began hunting, then returned to check on a family that wasn’t there. He left, and what he thought to be two cats was really old prey.
Who he had thought to be his mate and daughter was really a sickly warrior that Berryrain and the rest of Shadowclan had desperately tried to stop Stonesun from taking away from care.
Jaysong tried to stop him, and was killed. Finally, another warrior shoved Stonesun away. He fell head-first into the ravine, and the last thing he saw before succumbing to his injuries were the two bodies of Jodie and Paloma, right where he had left them.
Additional Information:
--Should he be in the Dark Forest? Or is this another case of Starclan being jackasses?
--The trauma of the head injury and losing his family for the second time is what pushed him over the edge.
--He went to a Clan afterlife because that is what he believed in, thanks to his mother.
--Nettleclaw didn’t die of his injuries because he got help in time, but it is possible his voice was taken.
--I think that sometimes Stonesun still gets confused again, even in death.
--This whole thing is very much taken from Fractured. I just really love the movie! His personality will be created by myself, though.
