Happiness. Isn't that the goal in life?
Acheron is just a normal stray kitten, living with his siblings and his parents in a back alley way. This tom is a small tom, making him the runt of the litter. So, he's never been noticed much in his family of five. Though, one night, everything suddenly changed for this small kitten. Acheron's father had never wanted kits in the first place, but he stuck with them because he still loved his wonderful mate. Though, after putting up with the kits and a yowling fight with his mate, Acheron's father suddenly up and left. The tom and his siblings are left with just their mother, and everything adjusts after awhile. Though, tragedy decides to strike the kit's family again. Another grown tom falls in love with Acheron's mother and seems to hate her kits, though Acheron's mother is too involved in her new love to realize that this tom threatens her kittens. This goes on for awhile with the new tom, Acheron's mother neglecting her kits for the love of the tom who snaps at Acheron and his siblings. After awhile, this new tom is fed up with Acheron's smart thoughts and blabber mouth. So, what does he do? He claws Acheron across the face, flinging the small kitten into the ground and tearing off his ear and leaving a terrible wound on his face. Meanwhile, Acheron's siblings are terrified and their mother finally realizes this tom isn't a good person. She begins to yell at the tom to leave, leave her and her kits. Though, the tom isn't having this. He engages a fight with Acheron's mother and wins, killing the beautiful she-cat. He then just leaves, leaving the kits without a mother and only with themselves. Acheron and his siblings are horrified as they shockingly stare at the body of their mother, stained in a pool of her own thick blood. These young kittens have no real idea what to do until Acheron decides they should leave, in case the tom comes back for them. So, saying their last goodbyes to their deceased mother, the small kittens trek out into the large world. The 5 moon old kittens find their way through the city, avoiding twolegs, other older cats, dogs, etc. Though, they find their way blocked by a thick black river of speeding monsters. These kittens, around 7 moons now, don't know if they should cross. Acheron says they can do it with just some timing, so he keeps watch for these large and loud monsters. Acheron gets one of his siblings across the road again, but tragedy strikes again. Acheron told his other sibling to cross, not seeing the large monster coming up in the distance. Acheron and his sibling have to watch as their other sibling gets crushed and mangled under the round feet of the monster, his last words a yowl of pain. The remaining two kitten-age cats are frozen at seeing the mangled body of their sibling in the black river that twolegs call a road. Acheron's sibling manages to guide him across the road and they stare out at their fallen and lost sibling. The young tom is now ridden with the guilt of sending his sibling out into the road at the wrong time. Their death is his fault, and it doesn't leave him. His other sibling keeps trying to reassure him that it's alright but it doesn't work. So, they keep on moving. Acheron and his last family member, his only sibling, find their way into a forest. Around this time, they aren't exactly kittens anymore, they're about 9 moons. Though, the two cats run into some rouge's territory and this cat attacks Acheron's sibling. Acheron's sibling tries to fight back but it's no use, as they've never been in a fight before. The sibling's last words before being killed by this cat were; "Run, Acheron! Run!". So, Acheron ran. He ran and ran until he couldn't run anymore and basically collapsed. The young tom is now alone, his family gone and dead. He begins to pretty much weep, right there and then. He's ready, this young tom is already ready for death. Though, a very old male loner finds poor Acheron and approaches him. The old tom begins to talk to Acheron, asking why he's weeping and why he's just lying there. Acheron tells the tom most things and this old tom lets the young cat stay with him. Acheron and the tom develop a father-son bond, the two cats loving each other like family. This tom raises Acheron like his own son, teaching him how to hunt and fight so he can survive. After a few moons, Acheron is now 14 moons. He spent five moons with this tom and has decided to live with him for the rest of his life. Though, misery decides to strike this time. The old tom dies in his sleep, just from old age as he's not really able to live any longer. Acheron weeps and yowls with emotional pain over his body, not knowing what to do. He buries the old and now deceased tom, trudging along his path of sorrow into the forest. He soon hits the territories of the clans and becomes friends with a RiverClan tom. Him and the tom actually begin to fall in love after a few moons. The RiverClan tom then suggests that Acheron should come join RiverClan. So, the tom gets into RiverClan under the reason that he's not terribly evil and he just wants to love his mate. Acheron gets a name change to Sorrowpaw, and eventually Sorrowsmile for the way he's usually seen softly smiling. Though, a little after Sorrowsmile becomes a full warrior, the RiverClan tom that he loved and was his mate dies. He and his mate were out in the territory, patrolling the borders together when a cat attacked them in some kind of horrible border skirmish. The tom fought for Sorrowsmile yelling pretty much the same thing his sibling had yelled to him all those moons ago; "Run, Sorrowsmile! Run! Get help!". So Sorrowsmile did run, he ran faster then he had when his sibling had told him to run. Though, when he came back with two other RiverClanners, it was too late. His mate was dead, killed. Sorrowsmile wouldn't leave his body, having to be taken away by other warriors. He lost his smile, going back into his quiet and depressed mode. Everyone he's ever loved had died, and there was no one else for him. So, Sorrowsmile lives his days out in RiverClan, focusing on becoming the best warrior he can be...
Well, sorrow is all we get...

Please keep in mind that Acheron and his siblings will start out at about one and a half moons so some characters won't be played for awhile and ages need to be set for around how Acheron's age is at the time they come in
Also keep in mind that this is my baby and I will probably be picky
also yes i know this plot sucks
