I Am Your Father

Fenkit

Come on burnetkit we’re getting our tails out of here with that he turned and nudged his younger brother back through the bushes. A few moments later he woke up. He crawled out of his nest to go sleep with burnetkit.

Mothkit
She watched her brothers turn tail and leave. SCARDY CATS! SCARDY CATS! I’m braver I’m staying here in this dark spooky forest! Hehe! I’m braver! she yelled after them her bright blue eyes glimmering in the dark light. Dad I’m braver right? mothkit felt bad about her brother leaving. And so she began to pout. Shuffling her paws in the dirt below her she glanced around. Now that she got a good look…this place was scary!! She waddled backwards only to bump into her fathers paw. With a yelp she leapt into the air.

He frowns as his sons leave. He then looks at Mothkit, and smiles softly at her. "Yes, Mothkit. You are so much braver than your brothers." He then closes his eyes and when he opens them, the softness is still there.

"Do you want to know more about your mother...?"

Burnetkit wakes, and he gasps. He then curls up closer to his brother and closes his eyes. that was scary. i never wanna go there again.

Mothkit

The fluffy she cat nodded vigorously again yes! Yes! I wanna know more about mama! I wanna know everything so I can be just like her! the small cat plopped herself down beside her father bright eyes sparkling with curiosity. I can’t wait to learn about mama! I wonder what she was like!

He smiles at her and settles down for a story. "She was born to a small and close family. She was spirited and smart and brave - like you. As an apprentice, she mainly kept close to her family and a couple of friends until the first gathering she attended - I was three moons older but a little... Behind in my training." He lets out a soft laugh, smiling slightly.

"Morningpaw was kind of scared - but she walked strong, acted like she belonged. And no one questioned her until she sat beside me. The all eyes were on her - or so she said it felt. They were... Watching us, wondering how we knew each other.

But we didn't. She sat with me, she said, because I reminded her of a cat she used to know. His name was Nightpaw - and he went missing. I automatically assumed that he was her... First love, I guess."

He then stops and looks at Mothkit. "I am sorry, my child. I feel as if I'm going too far in depth for you. Are you bored with the story?"

Mothkit

Mothkit listened closely to the story.. she had always been rather fond of story’s especially one about romance but now..well it was now a completely different story this time it was about her parents. Tucking herself down next to the rather large guy she smiled. Of course not! I rather enjoy stories! I love, love, love them! she mewed her blue eyes keen on keeping up with the story and situation.

Snaggletooth looks at Mothkit again before he looks at the ground with a soft smile. "Later, we agreed to meet often. Maybe every moon at the Gathering.

But when we became warriors, we agreed to meet more often. Her name turned to Morningdew. We then... Fell in love. But our loyalties were divided - our clans, and... Us. One time she was injured and I found her. We were together and I started to take care of her - for one night. Then she... Became pregnant.

With you and Fenkit.

We stopped meeting for a while, of course, and then I found out... She died,"

her eyes lit up but the light soon faded. fenny said mama died because of us. That we should blame ourselves because of mamas death.. tears threatened to fall from her bright blue eyes. It’s not our fault and I’m sure she loved us very very much yet..I can’t help but blame myself because mama would be here if it wasn’t for me. tears fell from her eyes as she looked up at her father. Papa…I’m sorry I took mama away please forgive me.

(It makes me want to cry )

@Tobi

He scoops her up with his paws and shakes his head as he closes his own eyes, tears threatening to blind him if he didn't. "It is not your fault, Mothkit." He murmurs under his breath. He holds his daughter close - as he should have done before today.

"Your mother would have loved you with all of her heart. It was StarClan that took her. She's watching you now, though... And I don't think she'd want you to cry."

He murmurs and opens his eyes. Snaggletooth wipes one of his daughter's tears away gently.

Her sniffling seemed to quiet down after a while. But she still felt bad about what she had done to her mother. I wish I could’ve met her I really! Really do! she smiled at the thought of her mother loving her and being there for her and her brother in their life. Fenny feels worse about it than me…it’s why he’s always in a bad mood. she mewed quietly.

The large ex-warrior nods his head and sighs slightly. "I see. Well, I never knew my mother." He mews quietly, curling up around his daughter. The other Dark Forest cats would laugh at him if - no, when - they seen this, his soft spot for his daughter, but he does not really care. If they want to harm her, or train her... Snaggletooth curls his tail protectively around her before he starts a ragged purring.

"If somecat ever hurts you, my child, tell me. Please." He mews quietly, laying his head on top of hers gently.
