Hey, amazing, I'm updating! These updates will probably be once a week now. :) Thanks everyone for understanding about this. I appreciate it.
Well, here it is!
Snowkit, the deaf kit who was fetched away by a hawk!
Without A Word
When I opened my eyes,
I could see my mother
Speckletail's mouth moving,
Her speaking to me,
Looking concerned.
But what was she saying?
I couldn't hear
I never heard
My life
Was without
A single word.
Brackenfur looked after me,
I think he wanted to mentor me.
But why,
Why, Brackenfur,
Would you want to mentor
A deaf kit like me?
Tawnykit and Bramblekit
Could all hear,
Could be normal...
But why couldn't I?
Why me?
I want to be mentored
I want to become Snowpaw,
And then a warrior.
But that was impossible
Because I was deaf.
Just because I couldn't hear
I couldn't hear a single word
Just because of that,
I couldn't be Snowpaw.
I couldn't be anything
But deaf little Snowkit,
One extra, useless mouth
To feed in ThunderClan...
How could I survive
When I couldn't hear?
Speckletail kept my secret well.
Other kits just thought
I was weird
Because I never talked.
Please comprehend
That I didn't know how
To speak.
Because if I couldn't hear,
What could I do at all?
It was all the same
Silence
When I played outside the nursery
With other kits.
At least I wanted to play.
But I was deaf;
How could I play?
I didn't know how
I didn't know anything
Just because
I had a silent life...
It was the same,
Without a word,
Without a word
When I felt sharp talons,
So sharp,
Digging into my fluffy white fur,
Gripping onto my small back,
Lifting me up high
My paws couldn't feel the ground
I was rising,
Rising,
Rising...
Trembling, I looked down
My heart sank down
To the bottom of my tail.
Speckletail was chasing
After the big bird carrying me away...
Brackenfur was yowling something
But I couldn't hear
It was another moment
Without a word.
Fireheart stared at me
In horror
What was going to happen to me?
I didn't know
I never knew anything
Just because I couldn't hear...
Instantaneously
Nothing mattered to me anymore.
Not anymore.
Maybe
Just maybe
If I, tiny little Snowkit
Entered StarClan...
I'd be able to hear
Hear loud words echoing through my ears
Hear my mother's voice, maybe, when she joins me
Hear the rustles of the forest
The sounds of mice scurrying over dried leaves
The sound of my own voice...
Would I be able to?
Would I, StarClan?
I stared at the sky pleadingly
But I saw no answer
At least not as far as I knew
Because I don't know anything
All because I was deaf.
But I hope
StarClan would finally,
When I reach them,
Allow me
To hear words
Because I don't want to
Live a life
Without a word
For eternity.
*sniffs* Poor Snowkit. I wish he was never deaf, was never carried away by a hawk, and became an apprentice!! How could the Erins be so mean to this sweet little kit? Well, everyone, REVIEW if you are reading this right now! Thanks!
