Another Reason I Had to Go
DaisySmokey
Daisy sighed, looking outside the nursery. It was a cool, crisp ThunderClan sunhigh. Her kits Berrypaw, Hazelpaw, and Mousepaw were all gathered outside the apprentices' den. They were going to be warriors. Had she done the right thing to bring them here? Yes... because it was her nly choice. And when she had tried to return back to the barn, she was even glad that Cloudtail and Brambleclaw had come to bring her and her kits back. Nobody knew the real reason she had to leave.
Smokey...
Flashback
"Smokey, how could you!" wailed Daisy, her creamy fur on end. She was staring at Smokey, her former mate, and her sister. "I'm expecting your kits too!"
"Well I had his kits first so I should be his mate," snapped Floss. She was curled up in a pile of hay with four tiny kits nudging her belly.
"That's not true!" yowled Dasiy. She rounded on Smokey but spoke to Floss. "He loves me more, doesn't he? Don't you?"
Smokey bowed his head and Daisy softened up. This wasn't her real self. Smokey loved her. She knew he did. "I love Floss."
No! screamed Daisy inside. Her paws told her to flee but her heart wanted to stay. She lowered her head this time. This wasn't happening. Why was Smokey picking her sister over her? Hadn't he promised Daisy he would always love her.
Suddenly there was a bright light. Twolegs! But it wasn't time for supper... Daisy's fur bristled uneasily. "Smokey... w-what's going on?" she asked quietly. The twoleg was stomping over to Floss.
It all happened so fast. There was a loud hiss from Floss and the next thing Daisy knew was that the twoleg had all of Floss's kits in a box!
Stop it! Daisy thought to herself. Save Floss's kits! Attack the twoleg! But love was holding her back. She couldn't bring herself to save poor, innocent kits. She was too selfish.
They were gone. She could hear Floss's wail but Floss couldn't hear the wail of Daisy's heart.
End Flashback
Daisy bowed her head and took a sharp intake of air.
"Are you ok, Daisy?" asked Ferncloud softly. Daisy nodded, turning her head away from Ferncloud.
She remembered again.
Flashback
"I'm going," Daisy mewed softly. Her kits were beside her. Smokey and Floss were curled up at the other side of the barn, sleeping. She would miss them but it was for her own good. She couldn't stand the pain it caused her to know her kits' father didn't love their mother.
With one last look at Smokey, she left.
End Flashback
And then she had gone through something similiar with Cloudtail. But she had been unfair. He had already had a mate and she had wanted to make him choose.
"Daisy..." came a soft voice from the nursery entrance. "Daisy, come here a second..."
Would things change?
Erin said in an interview that Daisy was going to kit again! But she won't tell the father... ( I'm kind of sad about that. Oh well. More fanfictions! I didn't really like how this one turned out. That's why it's so short. Sorry for the cliffie but all I can do is guess who the cat is going to be! You try to fill it in... Thornclaw... Spiderleg... Ashfur... I don't know!
