The next morning the sun was bright and cheerful, it was perfect beautiful dew drops scattered everywhere. Maybe it was all a bad dream. Dad is fine. None of that happened; it was just a dream. And I woke my sister up. Tsunamikit grumbled, but got up and walked outside, it was like nothing happened, it was just a dream. I kept telling myself that, then I saw the body of my dead father black venom still oozing out of the wound and I had to look away. I stared at the ground I couldn't watch. After that the day continued as normal nothing happened, it was like there was no snake at all. I felt rage pulse through my whole body, how dare everyone just forget my dad died, all trace of him was forgotten, did they even care if he died? Did they even notice? I felt angry and miserable.
My mother came out of the nursery and saw my expression. Her silver fur brushed against mine."You're mad it's such a perfect morning and your father isn't here too see it,"she said smoothly. I felt my neck fur rise even my own mother was acting this way.
"It's Not Fair! Do they even care he died?! They act like nothing happened, they are forgetting all about him!" I said with a wail.
Hollywater came over saying, "It's ok. Nobody will ever forget your dad he was a brave and no-" I cut her off wailing
"Well why are they acting like he never existed!? You cats are Cruel! And quit listing things! It wont change that he is dead!".
My mother's gaze flared and she stifly said "Show some respect to the warriors! She was trying to help! Tsunamikit is not acting this way, she is playing" I had no patience and I stalked off angrily to the far side of the clearing by the elders den. I saw and faintly heard my mother apologizing to Hollywater. I felt sort of bad for snapping at her. but it's not my fault that it's the truth no cat seemed to care for my father anymore.
The weeks dragged on, I never seemed to do anything right, cats tried to comfort me but nothing they said helped, and it seemed every single time I talked to another cat, I was scolded by my mother for being rude but I wasn't. It's not my fault they kept saying stupied things, Hollywater tried numerous times to comfort me but nothing she said ever helped, honestly, it just made it worse, eventually even she stopped trying, my biggest comfort was my sister, but she did not help me she but at least she did not constantly nag me about father.
It was a day like any other since father died, when I felt something pounce on my tail, I growled at the brown kit "Harekit! What was that-" I cut off when I noticed two small green eyes, wait Harekit had yellow eyes, it was Squrrielkit covered in mud.
"Yuck!" I said with disgust.
Squrrielkit tilted her head, and said "Tsunamikit wants you to play with us," she gestured with her tail to the small puddle towards the back of camp that had some mud around it. It had rained late last night, 3 kits were chasing each other around probably some sort of a tag game.
"Tell her I'll play the day hedgehogs fly!" I said annoyed with the mud splattered on my fur, and shoved Squrrielkit roughly off.
"Ow!" Squirrelkit exclaimed with a squeak. I realized my claws were out, and I felt bad and quickly apologized "Sorry,".
"Its ok" and she bolted off leaving small brown paw prints in her wake. I glanced out of camp wondering what it was like out there in the trees, it looked like freedom.
