TW for kitten/child abuse and neglect, injury and hurtful things- rosemouse is a horrible mother.
the first light woke nightkit from his slumber, waking up to...nothing? "mama?" he called out as he got up "ugh...what is it" rosemouse hissed making nightkit confused "mama...m'hungry" he came over only to be picked up by the scruff. he was carried out of camp much to his utter confusion, he kept saying her name, kept asking...he was hungry, he was dropped onto the ground. "let me get this across your dense head" rosemouse's claws unsheathed "you are not my son, you are nothing to me, I am not your mother and you can beg some other queen for milk, you got that?" she hissed, eyes narrowed in anger and burning hate "b-but mama-" he felt fire across his ear, it had been torn "I AM NOT YOUR MOTHER!" she yowled in anger, scratching at the poor kit as he cried in confusion "Mama-" and then there was a crack, she had picked him up and threw him across the small space of the dirt place...he could tell that much now...the smell of droppings made him gag as she pushed his face into the ground "I SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOU WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE" she roared in anger and then she was knocked away "Rosemouse what the hell are you doing?!" an older queen had come by, echoheart, green eyes burning with hatred and anger "he's just a kit! look what you've done..." she sighed "keep the damn thing then!" rosemouse hissed "I'm going back to my warrior duties...if..if that monster wasn't born my other kits would have lived! starclan cursed me with this...this monster!"
after that nightwatcher tried to forget...he missed echoheart...the queen took care of him until she died....
he felt so alone after and close off any sort of relationships...
he was never the same and vowed to end rosemouse's life when the time called for it.
