I was wallowing in misery when Birch busted into the cave - we're living in a cave currently - and told me that someone called Shansu helped Tucker home. I came out, and sure enough, my muddy and limping mate was alive. One would say I was aggressive, but I find it fitting and fine that I... shot into Tucker so hard that we both fell on the ground. I was sobbing profusely, but then a voice came behind me. "Oh, you two stayed together throughout all of this?" Shansu asked. I was confused, thinking she meant Tucker. After a bit of confused arguing, Shansu baffled me and Birch because she claimed that we were siblings. She said she knew my parents, which she described clearly. I asked if that's what Birch's parents' looked like, and she nodded her head. Shansu explained that she knew our parents, and she took Birch when the outbreak burst up. Birch escaped and ran away, which was why she probably didn't remember anything. I was and still am kind of flustered that the cat egging me on with my relationship was my sister. I always felt an odd connection to Birch, but I could never explain it. Even when she was a zombie, I didn't want to leave her. I guess it could be plausible, though. My mother was black with yellow patches so Birch could have just got the diluted version of her colors. It's been weird knowing that Birch is my sister, but I'm happy knowing Tucker's back, and Nibu has some friends to play with.
BOOM PLOT TWIST So I originally didn't plan on Taq and Birch being biological siblings, but I thought it'd stop people shipping them down the line plus I noticed Taq was an only child and we can't have that Also congrats to Warriorcatsfan_1233, Fireclaw505, and _BlossomHeart_ for guessing that one of the boys were related to Birch! #FO
