Another drabble! This one is for CotS. Also, beware. This one is a little gruesome...
The air is cold.
Pain scorches my body,
as my kits come into the world.
I was not supposed to have any,
I close my eyes and think.
But then pain burns my body once more,
and I can no longer breathe.
Why did I fall in love?
I was a medicine cat, I knew better.
I look down, and see my son,
his eyes glare back into mine.
I glance around, then yowl to the sky.
What do I do?
My poor child.
My ears flatten against my head,
as my claws dig into the young kit's flesh...
