Speckle
Lillystar was going to regret leaving me. She was going to regret sending her kit out on it's own. I was going to make her regret everything I possibly could. That kit was mine. Lillystar was my mate. She didn't belong to her Clan, she belonged to me. Leaving me was a stupid decision. She was going to regret that for sure. She would definitely regret sassing me before she left. Who was she to call me unreasonable? She would pay for that. She would pay more harshly than I had ever made her pay in the past.
I didn't know what kind of idiot would think that she should stay with her Clan and not her mate. I should be her life, not some dumb old group of cats. After all, I was her owner, and I was better than them. The Clan wasn't worthy of someone I had selected. Anyone I wanted should be with me. Only someone who was truly an imbecile wouldn't want to be with me once I chose them. I showed them the error of their ways. Some cats said I was harsh. I would agree. I would certainly want people to tell me when I was being as much of a dunce as Lillystar was.
I chuckled at the ingenuity of my plan. Fawnpaw was so easy to deceive. If she had been raised by me, she would've been smart. Of course, a lower class cat like Lillystar couldn't help failing my kit. She would have to be punished for taking Fawnpaw, but she wouldn't be punished for Fawnpaw's stupidity. A kit raised by stupid was bound to be stupid. I was somewhat impressed by how nice Fawnpaw turned out when her mother was heartless. You couldn't just take a kit from it's father like that. You could just expect me to get up and leave my life, either. What was Lillystar thinking?
Slowly making my way to Lillystar's camp, I rehearsed exactly what I was going to say. I had planned it for months, but I wanted to be certain I would do it right. I needed to have the right impression. After all, Lillystar needed to be terrified of me. She needed to know for certain that she had done something wrong, and I was correcting her ways. I didn't think she would be hard to convince. I had the best bargaining chip in the world.
The field was longer than I remembered. I had to cross through a long, featureless grassland before I could get to the forest. I hissed in annoyance, but I could deal with it. It was one of the few things I had to deal with if I was going to get what I wanted. I almost got lost while I was walking around, but I caught a cat's scent and followed it out. I would never admit it to the cat who's scent I used, but he probably saved my life, and he definitely held my family together.
One mousebrained cat tried to stop me, but I gave them a piece of my mind and they quickly left. They ran away from camp and not towards it, so I let them get away. I couldn't have them sending messages to Lillystar ahead of time, but they could flee like the cowards they were. I would allow them that. I laughed as he ran away in terror, blood flowing down his side. I showed him who he couldn't sass.
The territory was annoyingly large, and I could see the sun slowly starting to rise. I had to hope Snowy was doing his job well, or my entire plan could be spoiled. If Fawnpaw got away, all was lost. My plan would crumble completely, and I would have to start anew. Of course, I knew I could do so, but I didn't want to. Not that I had anything to worry about. Snowy was the best cat in the world at doing things like this. I didn't have proof, but I could tell. Something was up with him, so he was perfect for the job.
Hissing at the territory's harshness, I slowly picked my way through a patch of brambles. Brambles were pointless in life, and if I had my way, they wouldn't exist. Scratch that. I could shove cats into them. That was fun. I liked seeing their eyes light up when they were suddenly covered in thorns. It was amazing. They always seemed so surprised, like I was scared to cause things pain.
I finally saw the camp come into view, and I sighed with relief. One of the hardest parts of my plan was over. Fawnpaw had proved even more useful than I expected, since I had followed her scent path to make my way to camp. Now I could finally show Lillystar was had happened and prove to her that she was still mine. One couldn't be sure how she managed to forget, but she had. I had to fix that. After all, she needed to be part of the family.
Lillystar was about to run out of the camp when I caught her. "Looking for something?"
She stared at me in terror. "Where's Fawnpaw? Please don't tell me you've hurt her."
"Oh, I haven't done anything to my kit. Yet. If you want her to stay in good health, come with me. Quietly." I carefully stretched the words "my" and "yet." If Lillystar had even the small brains I thought she had, she would come with me.
She started shaking, but nodded. "All right. If I come with you, you free Fawnpaw?"
I shook my head. "We'll be one, big, happy family. Either we're all together, or we're all apart," I hissed, adding venom to my tone. "Now come on. Let's have a get-together."
If you couldn't tell, Speckle is troubled. While it may seem like I'm writing randomly, he thinks all of the things he said/thought were true. Even if he contradicts himself.
