I don't know what your username means but you rock! Also you guys are getting 1-2 more chapters this week so you won't have to wait, and I promise that the story will get less tragic relatively soon! I have to develop my characters a bit first of course!
Chapter 2
"What were you thinking you stupid kit? How could you be so mean to your poor sister? Calling her useless, making her cry and then running off to Starclan knows where!"Leopardkit sat beside their mother with a triumphant look on her face, clearly aware of what she would do to Speckledkit.
"I didn't do anything mom! Honest! Leopardkit's lying to you, she's always hated me!" Speckledkit cowered in front of her mother, who had drug her out of the elder's den where she'd been sleeping for about a moon. A look of fury crossed her mother's face and she stomped off towards the leader's den. Speckled opened her eyes once the paw steps had faded and found herself face to face with Leopardkit, who slashed her claws across Speckledkit's cheek violently enough to draw blood.
"I told you to keep quite but no, you had to go and whine to the elder's that I said you'd never amount to anything! Next time you tell on me you won't live to see apprenticeship runt! Nobody would notice if you disappeared anyway!" Leopardkit sauntered away, ferns crunching under her paws as she left the dirt place and headed back into camp. Speckledkit stood shivering and wide eyed in the middle of the little clearing, trying to process whether or not her own sister had really just threatened to kill her.
"I'm sorry, I never knew." A small voice whispered from behind a clump of ferns. Speckledkit jumped backwards, managing to trip over her own paw and flop into a mud puddle. At least, she hoped it was a mud puddle; it was the dirt place after all. Featherkit climbed out of the ferns; even though he was four moons old and she was only two moons old he was way shorter than her, and ran over to help her up. "C'mon, why don't we sneak out of camp and go to one of the streams, I'm pretty sure that's not mud."
"So why did your parents name you Featherkit anyways?" Speckledkit asked, desperately trying to make conversation on the way to the stream.
"Ha-ha, oh joy that question, well uh, they wanted a girl. Oh look we're at the stream now; you can wash your fur!"
Speckledkit waded into the stream to wash her fur out yet again, the second time in only two moons. Once her fur was clean she noticed that there was blood covering the cheek Leopardkit scratched. "Featherkit it's going to leave a scar isn't it? Now I'll be weird and ugly!" Tears dripped down her face "a-and sh-she's gonna tell Flowerp-petal that I a-attacked her and she was just defending hers-elf!"
"It's ok Speckledkit, I may be really short but I'll protect you from- foxdung, go underwater there's a patrol heading over here, I'll distract them!"
Speckledkit dropped under water immediately, just in time to avoid the patrol as they escorted Featherkit back to camp. She slowly climbed out of the stream, looking both ways to make sure they had all left, before lying down in the sun. It was so peaceful she fell asleep, in her dream she was chasing butterflies in a field, but of course eventually her dream took a dark turn. She smacked it a tree and found that she couldn't breathe.
When Speckledkit opened her eyes she was underwater, she tried to swim to the surface but for some reason she couldn't, it felt like someone was holding her down. She kicked out with all four of her paws and hit something, instantly the weight lifted off her and she struggled to the surface, she barely had time to take a breath before Leopardkit pounced on her and shoved her back under. Just as her vision started to fade Leopardkit pulled her back up to the surface.
"If you had just died in the forest like the weak loser you are, we could have avoided this! If you hadn't told anybody we could've avoided this! If you minded your own stupid business and stayed away from Featherkit this wouldn't have to happen! But you just had to fight back didn't you? Just had to try being the hero?" I would say it's too bad that I have to murder you, but I hate you more than anything else that exhists!"
Speckledkit was vaguely aware of being forced back underwater and smashing into something hard, probably a rock. She felt herself falling deeper into the stream or maybe the stream was carrying her away, it was getting so hard to tell what was going on, and her vision was going black so she couldn't even tell if she was facing the surface or the bottom.
