(Relic's POV)

He stared up at the white picket fence, his head cranes to see the pointed tops, turning slightly he noticed the fence went all around the yard to the front of his twolegs house. Relic moved forward and tried to shove his head through the hole in the fence, then growled when his head wouldn't fit through "Why can't I fit through " He snarled mentally.

"Why can't I fit through." He snarled mentally.

"Relic." He heard the youngest twoleg squeal, before it picked him up roughly.

The gross creature turned him upside down and hung him by his back legs,

Relic lunged angrily clawing at

the twoleg kit, stabbing his claws into it's arm, making it cry out, and drop him on the ground.

"Relic!"

Looking up he saw his mother stomping angrily towards him, she grabbed his collar and carried him back to the house, then through the cat door.

She sat him down angrily next to his siblings and walked to the kitchen probably to check one the filthy twoleg kit, they looked at him enjoying the fact that he was in trouble again

Jax stood smiling evilly "I told you guys he was going to get in trouble." He laughed pushing Relic over

Luther was lounging next to the sleeping form of their father "Please, I don't see how he's ever going to get adopted when all he does is try to shove his head through a hole in the fence." He said itching the fur under his collar.

Relic tried to get up but a brown paw landed on his chest "He's such a screwup mom doesn't even want him anymore." His sister Jasmine said digging her claws into his fur.

Relic shoved his sister off and got to his paws "Maybe I don't want to be adopted, and mom does love me way more than you all." The said wrapping his tail around his paws.

"Ha, mom is way more proud of me she said I look just like dad." Jax said puffing out his chest

"Maybe if dad was a tabby." Relic muttered getting up and walking towards the kitchen.

Ajax just stood glaring angrily towards him but he really didn't care, he can watch him strut all he wants.

Relic walked through the kitchen, pausing a moment to watch his mother cuddle with the female twoleg that was cooking, he moved over the carpet silently, like his ancestors once did in the forest beyond the white fence.

He stopped under the window, before jumping onto the windowsill, then pressed his forehead against the glass

Outside he could hear the birds chirping from beyond it, Relic saw another cat walking over the fence, their neighbor Leo who dad was certain was trying to get on Jasmine's good side , Leo wasn't paying attention to who was in the window, he obviously thought it was his sister because be turned towards the window and made a provocative face. The toms made eye contact and Leo fell off the fence.

Relic completely lost his shit and nearly fell of the windowsill, he was laughing so hard that that he didn't see his mother approaching.

(Aires' POV)

She watched her son for moment, he was laughing at something outside the window and she could tell that it was pretty funny, the sight of him laughing brought back memories of when he actually smiled and wasn't trying to get away.

Moving towards him, she jumped and landed next to him quietly. He didn't notice at first but he jumped when he finally did.

"Oh hey mom." He said licking his silver marble fur.

"Don't "hey" me mister" She said licking him between his ears

"Mom I'm not a kit anymore." He growled, pulling away from her and looking out the window

She followed his gaze, her voice barely above a whisper "Why do you want to leave me so bad?" She asked looking out at the trees beyond the fence.

He was silent for a many heartbeats, before he finally spoke "It's not that I want that to get away from you it's just, I'm tired of being tormented by the others because I'm the runt." He said not taking a breathe

"They don't- " She tried to say but was cut off

"Yes they do, but you and dad are too busy stuck up the twolegs buts, to see it." He snarled angrily, before ducking his head sadly "Mom I'm not happy here, I hate this bloody collar-" he said hitting the bell that hung from his black collar "The twolegs disgust be and I hate being stuck behind the glass." Relic said slamming his head into the glass.

She watched her son thinking about her mate Aero and the other kits in the other room and what she was about to have to tell him, before moving closer, wrapping her tail around him "Relic you will always be my little tom, but it's time for me to explain the feelings you feel, come with me. " Luca then jumped from the sill and walked to the middle of the floor, where she lied tucking her limbs under her body.

Relic did the same, his silver marble pelt brushing his mother white one, then she began the story that would change is life

"I was exactly fifteen moons old when I met your father." She said pausing a moment "And Aero."
