A mother looked at her kit with love and adoration. It was her first kit, and she loved it with a passion. She had been told that her kits would become her life, and this was quickly proven true. I love you, she whispered in her softest tone, knowing that the kit was yet too young to understand her. Ill never leave you. I always protect you.
Suddenly, a crashing noise came from outside her nest. She looked around and, to her astonishment, saw a star-cat. The cat spoke with great importance, seeming to have a greater idea of life than any normal cat would find possible. "I see you finally birthed," the cat said, looking down on the kit. "But I have to tell you something."
"Who are you? What are you doing? Why do you care about my kit?!"
"Ah, you are not a Warrior, so you wouldn't understand. However, I need to tell you something. You must leave the area now. If you don't, you and your kit will die."
"But, he's too young to make a journey!" She couldn't leave behind her kit. He would die. But if she also couldnt stay... She would have to risk it. This kit was priceless.
"Well, my dear, that's a risk you'll have to take. Or you could leave him. With me."
Suddenly, the beautiful star cat turned into shadow. It attacked the mother, pinning her to the open her stomach, she let the mother bleed until she fell unconscious. The shadow cat dragged the limp form through the woods, travelling far and deep into the shadowy area. After making sure that the mother had been asleep the whole time, this shadowy figure went back and hid her scent, separating mother and kit forever.
The star-and-shadow cat walked up to the kit, wrapping herself around it. "For now, young one, I will raise you."
"Where's my mom?" the tiny kit asked.
"I am taking care of you now. Your mother is gone."
The kitten, not understanding, assumed that she had just left. "Why did my mom leave me?"
"She didn't love you and she never will. I will raise you."
"Ok," the exhausted kit replied. The cat was so warm, and he was so tired. Sleep was best now.
