Flickers Back Story.

Insanity.

I took one agonizing step at a time,wrinkling my face in pain. Images flash in my mind of my crazed sister coming up behind me, and I was scared. So scared I looked behind me after every step, cringing as I flex my wound.
For some reason, my mind was thinking about something Rose said once, "Once you fight, no getting rid of tge scars. Once you love, you never get your heart back. Once your life is ruined, NO TURNING BACK."

What has become of my life?

I was too scared to call out to Rose by now, my head playing tricks on me, the voice of my sister reapeating over and over again. As I neared the river, walking was less painful. My eyes drifted behind me once again, my heart racing.
I sigh in relief, shaking my head, trying to comfort myself. I hadn't realized that I had no way of crossing, so I gathered my wits and yelled out,"Mom!"
THATS when it happened, my mother walks out of the busges,the images still in my mind. Her right eye was missing, and cat claws were up and down her throat, her eyes were crazy, and her mouth was bleeding. My entire pelt stood up. "Mama?" I cry, walking to the edge of the river. I figured she had been attacked by a wild animal, but her eyes, they were not normal.

Her eyes looked up at me, but they had no emotion. I couldn't get my eyes off her eye, blood still oozing out slowly. She use to be such a pretty grey tabby with hazle eyes, but this wasn't my mother. This was a monster. Her paws were caked with blood, and her claws were broken. I suddenly backed up, my mother had done this to herself!

"Silo? Are you here? IM HERE!" I started to run as the moster ended her sentence in a screech, my eyes blurry in emotion. I ran and ran, hiding behind the first tree I could reach in a few long strides, my belly stinging. I pressed my back against the dark tree bark, and I let it all spill out. I cried and cried and cried, my body shaking uncontrollably as I weeped. Eventually my eyes had cried so much I couldn't shed another tear, they burned. A massive head ache had rooted in my skull, and all I could do is sniffle.
Thought spilled into my mind as I sat there.
Like:
Now what?
Should I run?
Am I going to die?
Should I hunt?
Is Rose and Flutter and Mom going to kill me?

As I drifted into a small dream, I remember my last sweet kit memory, that if you ask me about today, I will remember.

The warmth and sweet sent of my mother pressed against me, and the sweet sent of honeysuckle filled a small cave. I blink open my eyes and sneeze, and a big cat catches my eye, it was a butiful she-cat, her hazle eyes glowed with love and passion. My paw moved infront of my face as I yawned, and I looked at the color in fascination, amazed at the dark fur of my pelt.
"Hello Flicker." The pretty cat purrs, and a name comes into my mind,"Ma'?" I squeak, testing out my voice out. She smiled ear to ear, "Flicker, you are just like the reason I named you."
I searched for a word to answer, but instead, i just widened my eyes, wiggling my whiskers,"FL.. FL..Flickr.."

A chuckle forms in the background, but I don't pay attention, and my eyes blink to ajust the to murky, dark den.
A voice sounds behind me, "Why did you name her Flicker?"

The she-cat smiles, her hazle pools seeping into my eyes, "Because, she is the Flicker of flame in my heart that will always be mine."

And thats all I ever remember.

I shifted into a small consciousness, voices whispered. CAT voices! I wanted to snap open my eyes, but something held me back.

"What was that!" A younger Toms voice asked in shock.

"That she-cat just... just... drowned herself.."
I was oblivious to what was happening.
Flutter....Silo...?

"What.. in the...?"
"GUYS! I JUST FOUND A KIT!"

And I had just been discovered.
