A.N. Sososo I'm starting from the beginning of Ringkit's life do no smut of Ringkit this chapter and maybe the next. Also you can still request your characters for the story =)
The first thing Ringkit felt was warmth spreading on her fur. She scrunched in her face at the feeling. Warm pressure trailing up her silky soft fur. Ringkit blinked her big yellow eyes, curious to the world she had just entered days before.
"Oh my she has her eyes open!", squealed a voice from across the nursery. This caused Ringkit to shift her view from the intricately woven nursery ceiling to a beautiful golden she-cat. Her belly was plump with the promise of kits.
"She does, Dawnshade. Her brother will soon have some competition", purred a voice which was smooth and calming, sending Ringkit into a peaceful state.Ringkit shifted her attention to a cat who laid down by her, holding Ringkit between her paws.
She must've been the one who was licking my cheek.
Another face popped into her vision. However, this one was younger and didn't look like either of the She-cats. Whoever it was smiled warmly, eyes glued shut with glee.
"This is my kin?", he quietly asked, his very pale green eyes gleaming,the soft-looking she cat, dipped her head "yes" to respond to his question.
"She's perfect!", the gray-brown tabby tom remarked. He joyfully licked at her cheek.
Ringkit was very confused at the setting before her. Wrapped around in a calming cat's paws while another restlessly bounded around her.
"Ringkit, this is your brother, Rushkit", the dark brown she-cat meowed when she noticed Ringkit's confusion.
"And this is our mother, Softgaze!", Rushkit squealed while touching his paw to Softgaze's pink nose.
The room soon filled with silence whenever Ringkit didn't respond. She didn't know how to nor did she think she could. Another, older white she-cat soon spoke up.
"How about you two play mossball?", she spoke in her creaky voice.
"That's a great idea!", Rushkit mewed. He got up and started bouncing around, however he quickly came to a stop when he saw his sister still laying down. "Come on, get up!", he meowed while sticking his muzzle underneath her to lift her up.
Ringkit's legs felt wobbly at first. This was a lot to take in. Slowly she took her first step, but soon got the idea.
Ringkit looked back at her mother, whose eyes gleamed and smile broadened at her two kits. Ringkit smiles back and savored the moment before Rushkit started nudging her forward.
Soon the two kittens found themselves in the middle of a clearing, life bustling all around them. Ringkit inhaled and took in so many different scents at once. There was the scent of the blooming New Leaf flowers, the scent of blood from the fresh-kill, and so many cats! It was overwhelming to her.
"I can give you a tour if you'd like!", meowed a squeaky voice. Ringkit looked up with wide eyes to see a beautiful ginger she-cat with flow-y fur. "I'm Fennelpaw", she said.
Ringkit immidately noticed her brother with a mesmerized look on his face. Rushkit's amber eyes were transfixed in the She-Cat before them.
Obviously Rushkit wasn't gonna answer so that left Ringkit. "Sure that'd be helpful", she purred.
"That's great, let's start!", Fennelpaw meowed. She turned around which caused her long tail-tip to brush up against the two kits faces, causing Rushkit to let out a cute sneeze.
"This is the Warriors' Den", Fennelpaw squeaked. The Den was beautiful. It was made of some sort of vine and wood material. Little white, yellow, and pink blossoms dotted the roof which let bright beams of sun shine through to the soft floor, which was free of grass. There were a few soft-looking nests made of moss, and for the lucky few, some were lined with feathers.
"We're not really allowed to be here", Fennel meowed nervously. You could see her shiver through her thin fur.
"No you aren't", growled a low voice, which sent a shiver up the trio's spins. The voice was so low Ringkit could swear she saw a pebble vibrate.
Fennelpaw was losing her mind, but could keep it in tact enough of a response. "S-Sorry Harenose I was showing Ringkit and Rushkit around camp."
"Why aren't you with your mentor?", he asked accusingly.
"Sandysteep g-gave me the morning off because I did well in training yesterday", Fennelpaw replied "coolly."
"Fine", Hardnose snorted. "Show my kits around but make sure to return them to the nursery once you're done. I will have to speak with their mother about their behavior", he snarled before padding towards the nursery.
Fennelpaw inhaled for a second then exhaled, trying to regain her "cool." He fur ruffled and puffed up as she did so. "Next stop, Apprentices' Den"
"And that's how I single-paw defended Soaringstar from a hawk attack and fed the clan for days!", Rosebrair said finishing her "100% truthful" tale about proctecting Soaringstar when he was a kit.
"Whoa!", Fennelpaw gasped at the ending. After leading them to the Apprentices' Den, Medicine Cat Den, Leader's Tree (which was a large hollow tree the leader lived in. They could climb up the tree from the inside to a branch that overlooked the camp for clan meetings), and Freshkill Pile, Fennelpaw brought the two kits her for stories from Rosebrair and Chestnutfall.
"Thank you three for listening to our stories. It seems no cat wants to listen to us anymore!", Chestnutfall meowed.
"Oh Chestnutfall, you can always tell them to me!", Fennelpaw reassured the elder. To which he chuckled and thanked her.
"I best get these two back to their mother", Fennelpaw meowed as she lead the kits out of the entrance.
The three padded over to the nursery as Sandysteep headed towards Fennelpaw and requested her to hunt. She meowed a goodbye and strided her mentor out of the camp.
It wasn't until then that Ringkit heard it. Her ears instantly perked up, trying to detect the source of the sound, which happened to be the nursery.
The sound was partially a cry of fear, but also of pain and sorrow. It drew Ringkit sand her brother forward.
Ringkit's eye's widened and her fur stood on edge at the sight. Her horrified her, angered her, and made her want to vomit.
It was Harenose lumbered on top of Softgaze.
Ringkit's paws were rooted to the grounded. She couldn't believe it. Her mother, who was so sweet and gentle, was being raped by her father.
No.
That was not her father. He was a monster.
Her brother was not like his sister. He wasn't paralyzed with fear. He was trembling with anger. His ears were flattened against his skull and his teeth were bared back in a snarl.
He lunged at Harenose's face which made Ringkit gasp in shock. Rushkit's claws raked against Harenose's face, creating long, but shallow wounds.
"You little scrap of fur!", Harenose hissed has he batted his son's frail body into the nursery wall. He packed such a force and Rushkit was so young that he caused Rushkit to blackout out. He was not dead, that was for sure, just injured.
Ringkit gasped. She had to tend to her brother but that would require staying in the nursery only a few tail lengths away from the horrible scene.
Ringkit inhaled and quickly dashed to her brother, luckily Harenose was too, preoccupied with Softgaze to really care.
Now Ringkit was no medicine cat but there seemed to be no blood, cuts, bruises or really anything that would indicate harm besides a small knot on the back of his head. She applied some pressure which caused her unconscious brother to groan in his sleep, so she quickly stopped.
Now, Rush was too heavy to for her to lift him out of the nursery, so she had to stay with him, in the nursery. This was the last place she want to be right now. Harenose looked like he was hardly tired and Rushkit looked fairly unconscious so there was no hope of her father leaving or brother waking up.
Ringkit sighed. She was in for the long haul.
She curled her beside her brother, so close infact they probably looked like an oval from above. She closed her eyes and buried her face in her brother's unconscious scruff, trying to forget the noises. She closed her eyes and longed for this to be over. For it to be morning and it'd be like everything had reset. Everyone would pretend that this evening would have never happened. However the memory would forever be ingrained into her young mind.
She finally lost focus in her thoughts and drifted between the space of reality and dreams. Her mind had been so fizzled she hardly noticed nor remembered Harenose leaving the nursery. Hardly noticed her mother dragging her frail body to her two sleeping kits. Hardly noticed when Softgaze curled her two kits against her belly and started to sob. As Ringkit drift into the land of dreams, her mother whispered, with tears trailing down her cheeks, "I'm so sorry, Little ones."
A.N. Welp first chapter. Mostly an introduction and such. No, Harenose and Softgaze and not soulmates, not by a long shot. They might've been when they were apprentices, but then Harenose basically just used Softgaze for pleasure. However, Softgaze does love her kits with all her heart, even if they were they result of such pain. I felt the rape scene was kinda drawn out, but ehhh I'm tired and editing it rn wouldn't do much help.
