With only the rising sun as her light. Her fur bristled from the wind. Huddled into a small hole she had dug herself into. 「 " I go wander through the pines " 」 Days of hunting. Only to amount to the horror of yesterday. Her clan… Was a graveyard. 「 " And make my way to nature's shrines " 」 Her brother's words echoed in her head. " Traitor. " 「 " And I look up to the sky " 」 Had she made a mistake? Was she being selfish? Should she stay? Maybe she just was.. A traitor. 「 " And I know you're still alive " 」 Her tears stained eyes lifted up. Looking at the dimly lit sky. Snow fell softly. The breeze was gentle. As if it was nudging her. 「 " But I wonder where you are " 」 She slowly sat up. Her paws barely holding the weight. Of the pain in her body. 「 " I call your name into the dark " 」 Her dark gaze turned. Scanning the land beyond her. But slowly it turned towards camp. Where all her clanmates were sleeping. 「 " I wake up in the morning, oh " 」 No one would know. No one knew she was out here. Just her and the stars knew. And how she cursed those things. 「 " And I don't know where I've been " 」 The breeze blew from behind her. Redirecting her tired eyes. To the endless wilderness before her. As if whispering to her. “ Go.. be free ” 「 " All alone on the mountainside " 」 She rose to her paws. Stepping closer slowly. Unsure of what lay ahead. Her eyes looked back again. 「 " And huddled in the wind " 」 She would be leaving so many cats.. … … That she didn't care about. All of them ignored her. Ignored her efforts. To try and save the clan. 「 " And it feels like I've been with you " 」 Her eyes snapped away. Her front paws stepped over that line. She looked down at them. “ Here I go. ” She spoke 「 " Oh, but, what did you do " 」 “ it just has to be. ” 「 " and where have you gone? " 」 “ Good bye, Hornet. ” She spoke. Knowing no one was hearing the words she said. Her words shaking with sadness at the name. Taking another step into the wilderness. “ May your efforts be victorious and may the Dark Forest be on your side. My brother. ” 「 " On the night you disappeared " 」 “ Good bye, DaylilyOath. ” She sunk her paws into the snow that no cat had stepped on. Leaving her paw prints for all to see. “Thank you for training me. Raising me strong.” 「 " Oh, if I had seen you clear " 」 “Good bye, VultureSlaughter.” She turned to the side. Looking over the border line from a different side now. “You were a good father.” 「 " But the strange light in the sky " 」 “But now.” She turned away. her back to her clan. that was slowly fading. “I'm simply just a ghost to haunt all your memories.” 「 " Was shining right into my eyes " 」 She bent down, biting her seaweed bracelets off. Leaving them at the border. Before disappearing into the wild. The last signs of her. Were her paw prints and wraps. And her scent on the breeze. 「 " There was no one else in sight " 」 CONTINUED BELOW . .
「 " Just the endless frozen pines " 」 She walked alone for hours. The falling snow her only company. Her breath clouds in front of her. Her dark eyes looked around. 「 " But I wonder how they know " 」 No one was in sight. Smooth snow was the proof. Dead trees shook from the breeze. That continued to pull Ghost forward. 「 " Cause they don't die, if they don't grow " 」 Her paws felt shaky with each step. What had she done? Where even is she? She turned around. Her paw prints etched into the snow. 「 " I am ready to follow you, even though I don't know where " 」 She was gone. No one was beside her now. No one but herself. 「 " I've been waiting the night, until you decide to take me there " 」 She froze. Realizing what she had done. Anxiety settled in her bl00d Making her shake with worry. But it was too late now. She can't turn back. She had gone to far. 「 " Cause I don't wanna stay here forever " 」 The breeze blew in her face She turned her head. her gaze set forward now. Her ocean eyes widened. 「 " It's gotta be moving on " 」 Towering, snow capped pines Creaking, old trees coated in snow. Mountain tops in the distance Endless fields to run and hunt in. 「 " Cause I know I don't wanna stay here forever " 」 No rocks to get shoved into. No beaches to burn her pads. No harsh, unsheltered wind. No judgement. No one. Just her. And the wind. 「 " It's gotta be moving on" 」 She slowly stepped forward. Through a forest. That felt magical. Oh how she had never seen trees this tall before 「 " Oh, I don't wanna be the only one living at all " 」 She sat down beside a tree. Curled up underneath. Her tail tucking over her nose. She laid her head down. 「 " If my friends are gone " 」 No more pressure from other cats. No more anxiety of if there was food. 「 " I will be waiting for you " 」 It was just her. And the endless wilderness. But a question arose. Had she made a mistake? Oh how she wished she knew. But for now. Ghost was at rest. 「 " On the other side of the frozen pines " 」 ･ﾟ✧･ﾟ•~✩~•──•♦︎•─•♦︎•──•~✩~•･ﾟ✧･ﾟ » SONG + LYRICS IS 'FROZEN PINES' BY LORD HURON THE YAWNING GRAVE AND FROZEN PINES PLAY BACK TO BACK SO PLEASE GO TO THE FIRST PROJECT BEFORE THIS ONE » WHISPSTRIKE/GHOST BELONGS TO @Lilly_Pad09 » HORNETVENOM BELONGS TO @SlimyScratcher68 » DAYLILYOATH BELONGS TO @hippogriff16 » VULTURESLAUGHTER BELONGS TO @ShatteringSky ･ﾟ✧･ﾟ•~✩~•──•♦︎•─•♦︎•──•~✩~•･ﾟ✧･ﾟ Whisp has left the clans, the horrors of clanlife got to her. Seeing starvation after starvation has made her terrified of dy!ng as she had seen two of her brothers fall from it, she is also tired of hunting just for it to be rewarded with nothing. So she left, quite the cowardly thing to do, but she didn't want to risk living a clan that was "becoming a graveyard." Whisp will go by Ghost now but will introduce herself as "just a wanderer" so she will go by (the) Wanderer as a nickname until someone gets close to her and then she'll allow them to call her Ghost. if someone calls her Whisp or mentions her former name she might get defensive, she doesn't want anyone to know she was a former clan cat and will act like she never came from one and will avoid the borders as best as she can.
