Breaking Heart

PT: Hi? Yeah, I might sound competitive and…I'll get to the point. Is the plot original? Like, I read Cats of The Clans and Rock mentioned that RiverClan cats were taken by Twolegs to be used at kittypets. He said that few cats came back, right? Well, I'm writing the story of one who came back. I don't want to sound like I think everything's a life-and-death game, but is this fic original? Am I the first one to write this plot? Or was I late? I hesitated a lot on writing this, since I had tons of in-progress stories going on already. Enough, READ!!

Disclaimer: NONONONONONONONO!! Clear? Much better.

Hello, kits.

Have you had any fresh-kill today?

No? Well, I am sorry. These are hard times in the forest. Even RiverClan has suffered, though we are better off than the other Clans.

Those StarClan-damned Twolegs are destroying our home.

And you are amongst one of the lucky kits who did not die.

But with what is happening, death may be a blessing.

Ah, why do you stare so at Shadepelt, young ones?

No, I am not being greedy: Shadepelt is thinner than I because she would not let me give her any fresh-kill; she'd always make me have my share first. We argue much, but she would always threaten to claw my fur off and make me bleed hard. I know that Mudfur would try to save me if that happens, no matter how I tell him ignore me. My Clan does not need any trouble from me.

Do you know why she is so fierce, so fiery, so willing to suffer for others?

She was once taken, little kits, by Twolegs to be used as a kittypet.

Yes, she is among the few that were taken—and came back. She made it back, little kits.

Perhaps you would like to hear the story now?

In that case, I will tell you; she has told me before. So many times, have I heard the story of her capture and escape. Sit down, little kits; you need your strength. My father was always a good storyteller himself.

A good story was always leaving me with energy.

Perhaps, this story will help you in this time of need.
