Differences. ⮾ Travelingkit SRP

Instructions

(TW for death, grief and shouting) ' Differences. ' Travelingkit had finally fell asleep that night. At first, it was a wonderful dream. She was playing with her siblings, Cutwormkit, Inquisitivekit and Quietkit, and also Eclipsekit! It was an amazing dream. "Li! Catch the moss- Li?" She looked around. Where did they go? "Li! Cutworm? Inquisitive? Qui? Where did you guys go!" She smiled. "Oh, hide and seek! I'll find you guys!" She exclaimed happily. Five minutes passed and she still couldn't find them. "Guys...It isn't fun anymore...Come out! Guys-" She stopped dead in her tracks, her blood running cold. "..What? No, no! Stop this! The prank isn't funny!" She cried out, running over to the small pile of the four kits. Each one of them weren't breathing. Each one of them was bleeding. It made her paws sticky. The scent was nauseating. "What- no. No, it's not--it's not real! I'm dreaming! I'm dreaming!" She wailed up into the sky. A voice came from behind her. Silky. Almost soft, if it wasn't for the condescending tone. "Why, yes you're dreaming, Travelingkit." Travelingkit turned, to see-- A warrior version of her. But different. There was no shine in her blue eyes anymore. Her fur was longer, more elegant. Her stance was confident. Her pupil? Reflected an eerie red. Trav backed up, sniffling and hiccuping, her fur standing on end. "Wh-Who are you?!" She demanded, tears still flowing freely. "Why, I'm you. Just...older." The cat responded. "Just call me.. Travelinghonor. It's not official, of course. But it sure is better than being a crybaby kit, huh?" The cat--No, Travelinghonor -- then grinned wickedly. "Awe, what's wrong? Sad that you're friends and family are gone? Get over it, kit. Grow up." Travelingkit flinched at the tone, shrinking back. "Stop it! I'm not a crybaby! You're not me! I'm not an evil cat!" Travelinghonor purred in cruel amusement. "Ah, but I am you. And you are me. We are the same cat." Travelingkit's eyes widened in terror and dread as blood suddenly appeared on Travelinghonor. On her paws, pelt, muzzle. Was she... A murderer...? "No you're NOT! WE'RE NOT THE SAME CAT!! I'M NOT EVIL!" Travelingkit snapped, lunging and scratching the other cat on the cheek, before scrambling back, feeling a sting on her own cheek. Travelinghonor laughed softly. Mockingly. "Now you see, right? We are the same. We have. No. Differences." Travelingkit couldn't look away. Seeing her own reflection in Travelinghonor's eyes, she felt her heart seize. In the reflection, Travelingkit had the same red reflection in the pupils. Travelinghonor was right. They had No Differences. Traveling woke up after that, shaking.
