Please be aware that I do know that cats cannot cry, but what can I say? I'm a rebel :3 (or not really because a lot of writers make cats cry but whatever >:D)

Darkness.

Shadows.

Blood.

Pain.

Death.

This words rippled through my mind as I stared at the sights before me. My gaze was fixated on the distance, widening with horror every time I saw it happen.

First I would see Fernfrost standing before me, a stunned look in her eyes. Knowing what was going to happen, I would always try to move forward but my paws were stuck to the ground like stone. Sometimes I would try and scream out warnings, but usually my mouth would never open, and when it did nothing would come out. Then my mother would charge toward me, saving me from my deadly fate. But she would die viscously, emitting terrifying caterwauls as she did. Then the image would remain frozen; her on the ground in a pool of blood, jaws gaped open and eyes dull and lifeless. And after that, the scene would repeat over and over again.

Why... I thought, sobbing quietly. But I knew I was just imagining myself sobbing, as my seemingly lifeless face didn't feel wet with tears. I emitted a pained scream, but I didn't hear the scream; I knew that like before, I was just imagining it.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"  My father's voice repeated in my head several times, just as furious and angry as the first time. Then I saw long, outstretched claws ready to plant a fresh new wound across my face. My green eyes stretched wide in horror as blood seemed to splatter everywhere.

This is only the beginning... A ominous voice seemed to whisper, before everything faded into mere darkness.

My eyes shot wide open in alarm. Although almost as soon as I did, I shut them as I felt a stinging pain above my left one. I mouthed a small 'ow' before carefully moving my right forepaw upward and placing it on my chest. I could feel my heartbeat beating rapidly.

It's just a dream... I thought, exhaling a long, deep sigh. I opened my eyes slowly to see that I was inside of the medicine den. It took me a moment to remember what had happened. To realize that my dream was what had happened not too long ago. Fear gripped my heart tightly as I tried to push the thought away.

No... no that never happened. The Clan was just attacked by... err, rogues? I let out another sigh, followed by a quiet, distressed whimper as the truth seemed to burn through me like fire. The memory pierced my heart, sharper and fiercer then an eagles talons ripping through flesh. The hole that had been created there would likely never heal. I moved my neck downwards slightly and wrapped my tail tightly around my lithe figure, wincing with pain as I did so. Then I let thick wet drops of water slowly slide down my eyes and into my bushy black tail.

It was all my fault... I thought, teeth gritted as I tried to stop myself from letting out a desperate wail of distress. If only I hadn't gone outside of camp... if only I hadn't tried to catch that raven... if only I wasn't so stupid... I exhaled a shaky sigh, followed by a quiet whimper.

"-love my daughter, but I'm starting to think that she might be training in the dark forest." I caught half of what someone was saying. It took me moments to realize that this 'someone' was my father.

Is he talking about me? I thought, horror washing over me. The only daughters he had besides me was Ivykit and Silverkit, and they hadn't done anything wrong to him or anyone ever. I gripped my claws around the air in front of me, my frown deepening. Tears glistened in my brilliant green eyes, and I had to stop myself from letting out a desperate moan of distress. I wanted to cover my ears with my paws, but I could've sworn my left one had been torn off. Plus- although I hated to admit it- I was quite intrigued by what he had said, and I knew that listening in on his conversation was the smartest thing to do.
