We all are born to be amazing. Well, that was what I was taught. My family hunts with starclan now, I am the last of my siblings to survive- at least that's what I think. Of course, I've made friends along my journey, and found love, and found beautiful kits. But I knew one day that would all end, one day, I felt as if i was at peace. You know? || + || It's time || + || I trot along the side of my clans border, feeling my heart pounding in my old chest. I let out a raspy cough and continue my search in prey, if it's one thing I love, it's hunting. As I trot, I hear rustling. No, more like a snarl. Then there it is- a big tall orange pelted fox, glaring at me- as if it knew, I was ready. As if it knew it was my time. It snarls once more, and flings itself at me. I yowl, letting the beast swing me like a piece of fresh-kill, then it throws me. I hit the leafy ground in a thump. Blood roars in my ears, it spills down my spine. How. . . how can I fight it, how can I be brave now. When all I can do is crumble to my paws and curl up into a warm sleep. No. This isn't was Serenity would want, this isn't what Puppykit would want. Nor what crag would. I have to stand. I let my paws carry me and halt Infront of the fox, showing my teeth, I let out a snarl. Only to be bit by the creature once more. I collapse. I can't. I can't do it. I let out a cry. A whisper, hoping someone, some cat is there. There to help me. But no. "Please. . ." I mew, like a pitiful kit, crying to its mother. "Please. . . I'm here." "Someone. . . help." My eyes flutter, "I'm sorry Serenity, I- I tried." I won't rise, I can't. I'm old and lived, it's time to see my kits grow and become great warriors. I know it's my time. I'm ready. ||+|| "I'm ready" ||+|| A light flickers. A star shines bright. Something, no- someone. I feel a familiar pelt surround my body, I get a glimpse of the fur, before letting the warm gentle muzzle rest on me, I close my eyes. I feel calm. I feel safe and at peace. ||+|| "Puppykit..." I whisper, "I'm here. I'm home." ||+||
