Shadowpelt's past

Chapter 1: Warmth and Seeing

"Mama, when do you think she's gonna open her eyes?"

Who is that...? And why is everything so dark...?

"Soon probably dear..."

Another voice...?

Then I felt a nudge on my head

"Open your eyes soon so we can explore soon! Okay Midnight?"

Midnight...? Is that what my name is?

Then I heard a soft purr of amusement

"That isn't how it works Rose! It takes time, and besides, she's awfully small, even for her age"

What's wrong with me...?

"Will she get bigger?"

Are there only two cats here? 

"Eventually with time, now come dear, she needs to rest, and so do you."

Then I felt the rasp of a tongue on my head and all I could do was let out of mew, maybe even in fear.

"I'm your mother, Elizabeth..and Rose is your older sister...don't worry, it's safe, now sleep dear..."

And that's all I remembered before the warmth and quietness of the darkness took over me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I winced as light ended my vision as I opened my eyes...wait...

...what...?

I widened my eyes as I looked around and saw all the bright colors of the area was in, but what was beside me drew my attention away from the other things

I looked beside me, and I realized I was nestled against a beautiful long-haired white she-cat that was currently sleeping, and beside me was a smaller she-cat, but still larger than me, she wasn't white though, she was a tabby, a dark gray tabby, and she wasn't as beautiful as the white she-cat, but she was still very pretty.

And then I realized...

So these are my kin...? My mother and sister...Elizabeth and Rose..

I was so caught up with my realizations, that I didn't notice Rose wake up, and all of a sudden we were tumbling off a plush thing and falling onto a soft floor and all the way down I could only let out terrified mews. When we both finally stopped falling, I could see that Rose was laughing, but that quickly came to an end when our mother jumped down behind her, snarling, Rose looked terrified.

"What were you thinking Rose?! You and Midnight could've gotten seriously hurt! And You know how small and fragile she is!" Our mother hissed furiously.

"Sorry Mama..." Rose said guiltily.

All our mother could do was let out an exasperated sigh and start grooming us, but the grooming ended quickly when two giant creatures entered the room. "Those are our two legs!" Rose had whispered to me, "They take care of us." In understanding I looked up at them and stood on wobbly legs as they crouched down and started petting us.

Love...and warmth...that's what all of this...I never...want this to end...

But It Will...
