Note: Very sad story.
My heart was beating fast. Nobody loves me. Nobody cares. I am nothing. I don't deserve life. I scrambled up the high rock, scattering pebbles down onto the dusty ground. When Robinheart saw me dead, she would realize how important I was. They all would.
"Toadkit, no!" Shrieked a voice. I looked down and saw my mother in hysterics. "Stop, stop it now! Come back!"
My green eyes met her tear-filled blue orbs. I looked away. It was now or never.
I heard more voices. Seemingly the whole clan had gathered under the high ledge, urging me away from the edge in comforting whispers. I was deaf to them.
"Mummy, why is brother on the big rocks! Brother will hurt if he fells, mummy!" My sister, Creamkit, looked confused, "Mummy, we need to help him!"
I had reached the end of the high rock. It is time. I braced myself to jump, to feel my bones shatter against the ground.
I closed my eyes and lifted off of the ground. It was like I was flying, like I was slowly descending away from this world. Floating up, up, up into the sky!
Slam.
I felt my breath knocked out of my lungs. I was panting and one of paws paws was twisted wrongly, but I was otherwise fine.
"What were you thinking, jumping off like that? This isn't a game, Toadkit!" Robinheart scolded me as she covered me with licks. I sprang away. It didn't work. I pawed the ground, kicking up dust. It's not fair!
"Mummy, look at me!" A shrill voice rang out across the clearing. My head snapped up and I saw Creamkit perched on the edge of the high rock, "Mummy, I'm going to fly like Toadkit!"
My heart dropped. "Creamkit, stop, please don't." I whispered.
With a happy smile, she jumped, and her long fur flew out behind her, almost in slow motion. She fell, gradually nearing the cold, hard ground.
Her body landed with a thump. The sound of cracking ribs split the silence along with Robinheart's wails.
I stood, staring at the limp, cream form of my sister. Tears silently streamed down my cheeks. Now I really don't deserve to live.
