I Am Your Father

Fenkit

The gray and black Tom hissed angrily at snaggletooth. In your dreams old man! I have no mother! Never have and never will! he carefully nudges the smaller kitten backwards so he could stand in-front to protect him if need be.

"How sweet. You actually care about your little brother. Did you know that his mother abanoned him? And an ignorant, forgetful tom named Spottedfire-" He spits the name like poison before snarling "As if Burnetkit belongs to him."

He lets out a low growl, tears welling in his eyes again. 'Spottedfire is more of a father to me than you will ever or have ever been for me! I am alive because of him!' The little kit signs frantically, slurring is words in his angry panic.

i want proof! Even if he wasn’t my brother I’d still do the same! You’re an ungrateful old mangy cat who just wants to do harm although he was curious about his mother. He had never seen her but cats say she was a beauty beyond comparison. Still this didn’t make him any less loving towards the cat who died giving birth to him

"She was the most beautiful cat I'd ever met. Her name was Morningdew - she was the only cat I had trouble with. She and I grew up togetehr as apprentices. We were so competitive and it was so fun. She was so spirited, smart, sarcastic and sweet... But she also had a few complications with her health. She had trouble running sometimes.

"You we're supposed to happen. You were the result of one night - shortly after we were made warriors - and she became so sick... I was with her for the entire time, only because we agreed to meet. We weren't caught - but I wish we would have.

"Because she would not have been dead. I... I really miss her, Fenkit." The sorrow in Snaggletooth's voice makes his voice sound rougher, and the sadness in his eyes is not the type used for benefit.

Burnetkit hesitates before he looks at the ground, signing slowly. 'What about... My mother...?'

Fenkit

Thank the stars his sister wasn’t here…but his hopes soon died when a bright creamy almost white cat with gentle soft gray paws fell from the tree above them. MOTHKIT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE the white she cat glared at him. Huh? How dare I? What in great stars did I do?!

Mothkit
She had been listening in on the conversation for a while now tiny claws digging into the bark of the tree for dear life…then there came that evil stinky breeze and down down down she went! Landing in a pile of moss down below. Hearing her brothers loud yowl she flinched. ITS NOT MY FAULT YOU SMELLY FOX DUNG! she had spent too much time around the apprentices for her own good. And how dare you be mean to our dad!

The tom recoils slightly and stares at the other kit. Our... Dad...? His breathe hitches when he notices how much the little she-kit looks like Morningdew. "Hello. If I may ask, what is your name?" He asks as he looks down at his... Daughter.

Burnetkit looks at the other kit. she's my sister, too-? He asks himself before he looks at her, sniffing at her before recoiling slightly behind Fenkit. He wonders where his feather is now? The little blue one - not the others - just the blue one. The first one - the first gift Spottedfire has given him.

mothkit

Mothkit turned to her father a bright smile on her face and a purr that shook her whole body. I’m mothkit! I’m gonna make my name mothdew after my mother. Ignore my incompetent brother he’s a fool. she shot a hot glare towards her brother’s. Turning her attention back towards snaggle her eyes bright with curiosity are you really our dad? Really really! That’s so cool! her tail swayed behind her as she padded up to stand directly in front of the large Tom cat. Fenny fenny! It’s our dad!

Fenkit
Mothkit was a pain in his tail. Get away from him he’s isn’t our dad we have no dad he never will be our dad! Get over here! he growled. His sister of course ignored him as always. Turning to burnetkit he smiled it’s ok…it’ll be over soon I promise you. of course he had no way of knowing how long they would be trapped here with him or what he’d do. At most just swat them around of toy with them like prey. Gritting his teeth he backed up a bit. You both…you’re crazy. Mothkit..get away..

"Well, Mothkit. I love the fact that you want to be named after your mother. Morningdew was an amazing she-cat and warrior. She would have loved you two with all of her heart." Snaggletooth says before he looks at Fenkit. "If she wishes to speak with me, Fenkit, then she can. She is her own being."

Burnetkit nods his head to Fenkit's response before he pokes his head out and looks at Mothkit. He blinks his eyes and shakes his head again. How can anycat think he's worth speaking to-? He asks himself mentally.

Mothkit

Ignore him! Ignore him! He’s just a stinky old badger! turning her gaze back to her father she nodded enthusiastically yep! Yep! I’m my own person! trying to make herself bigger like he father she changed stance only to fall face first. Oh dear! Oh dear! What an embarrassment!! scrambling back o her tiny paws she blinked a few times. Ha! See I’m already working on my stance! You don’t have one meanie fenkit. she stuck her tongue out at him.

Fenkit
He groaned inwardly. Great just great. This dark forest cat had her hooked. mothkit..know what forget it! Stay with the old geezer I’ll just take burnet and leave you here with him. she shot back hot headed. He stuck his tongue back out at her.

He thinks about dismissing his sons. He now has a fixation on his daughter - Mothkit is so much like her mother that it is unimaginable. But her eyes, when they dart to look at him, are his eyes. Which he is glad - at least she is a mix of Morningdew and himself. And that makes him happy - if such a dark cat could be called happy.

Burnetkit kind of wishes that their father would dismiss him. That tom could never be his father - that place in his heart has already been taken over by Spottedfire. And no cat ever could replace his adopted father - he had found him when he needed the most help.
