private I lose control - flyme fam


⁺˚⋆。°✩₊Outside the den, the moon was beginning to claim it's spot in the sky. The sun had long set, and its beautiful display of colors had already passed. Their nest felt empty without Sparrowpaw's presence beside her, and even though it hurt to not have him here, she knew he would be excited to start his apprenticeship. He would have his own nest, there would be no sharing with his little siblings...and he would still visit them, and she couldn't wait to see him show her his new skills that his mentor would teach him.

Her thick tail curled around the nest protectively, and she started to clean each of their pelts one by one for the final time today. "What story would you guys like to hear tonight?" she asked quietly as she drew her tongue over Squirrelkit's forehead. She was starting to run out of stories to tell them...their nightly story session had become a must since she had told a story about her trip to the mountains. I wish you were here...they would love to hear your stories. She would give anything for their father to mysteriously appear in front of them, to tell their kits a story from his past, of his family. But no matter how much she prayed, she knew that he wouldn't be able to come. Their kits wouldn't be able to meet him until they took their final breaths. It's not fair..

𓍊𓋼 Returning to camp in the evenings has become a point of relaxation for the cream tabby. After a busy day of hunting and patrolling, it’s comforting to get to relax alongside his kin, especially after a stressful day like today. He smiles at his mother as he enters the nursery, and trots over to sit beside the group of kits. Listening to his mother’s stories had ignited a sense of wonder in Falconheart as a small kit, and even now he looks forward to hearing (and even re-hearing) Flamewhisker’s numerous tales.

"I’m sure it’ll be a good story no matter which one you tell," he says, his voice placid as he looks over each of his younger siblings. It’s strange that Sparrowpaw isn’t here with them, but at the same time he’s glad that the boy has moved on to the apprentice den. The nursery is crowded, and it must be difficult for all the kits to maneuver about during the daytime. Even Falconheart feels a bit… claustrophobic, sitting here alongside his siblings.

Storytime was undoubtedly Scorchedkit's favorite pastime. Words wove themselves onto vivid images within the realm of her mind, every sentence quickened to life the moment they left the teller's lips. While Flamewhisker groomed Squirrelkit, the tortoiseshell clambered over the lip of the nest to snuggle against the nook of Falconheart's chest and chin. "Yeah! You do tell the best stories, mama." She agreed almost immediately after the fawn warrior spoke. "Are there any stories of a time you saved a clanmate?" She asked with wide-eyed wonder, craning her head back to look at the orange and white queen. Her mother was a journey goer, and deputy of the clan. Surely Flamewhisker had an epic tale tucked away that she hasn't heard yet.

Squirrelkit relaxed into her mother's side as she felt the comforting rasp of her tongue over her fur, her eyes already drifting shut. But she couldn't fall asleep yet! She needed to hear the story that Flamewhisker was about to tell them all. It had become her very favorite time of the day, getting to listen to all of the amazing adventures her momma had gotten up to before they had been born. It made Squirrelkit excited for her future as a Thunderclan warrior, when she would get to create her own stories that she'd one day get to tell.

With a wide, lengthy yawn, the torbie kitten sleepily rubbed a paw over one eye. She perked up a bit at Scorchedkit's suggestion, suddenly feeling the need to outdo her sister. "Oh, oh, no! Tell us how you met papa, pleeeaaaaase!!" The stories about Flycatcher were always the best ones. She would never get to meet her father, and sometimes that made her sad, but when she got to hear about the things he did and what he was like, it made her feel closer to him. If she couldn't have memories of her own to hold onto, she'd have to settle for the memories her clanmates had of him.

〕Scorchedkit suggested a tale of rescuing another clanmate, but before she could rake her thoughts, Squirrelkit eagerly asked for one of how she met Flycatcher. The queen nodded, forming an idea together. "How about a little of both?" It had been quite some time since she had told this tale, Falconheart and Stormfeather probably being the last to hear this. "Many seasons ago, before I was a Thunderclanner, I lived in a forest much like this one. I lived with my mother in a cave. She was unable to hunt, so I took care of her. One day...I had to leave." The reason why would be conveniently avoided, a tale for older ears. Her kits did not need to know the graphic death her mother had come to, sacrificing herself to dogs so Flamewhisker could escape. "On my way out, I was wounded. I was by myself, and I had no healing training...so I tried to patch it up with leaves, but little did I know, infection was settling in."

"I traveled for many days. Through a forest, into a twolegplace, and then into this twolegplace. I must've looked rough, because I had several cats who helped me survive the travel through the twolegplaces. I'm not sure who they were, but I had never seen monsters before...without their help, I wouldn't have made it. I can't remember much of what happened after I left the final twolegplace, but I remember stumbling into the forest and collapsing. I wasn't strong enough to move, my shoulder hurt so bad. Your father was who found me, who helped me and brought me back to camp. He visited me while I was recovering, and he took me on my first tour of the clan after I asked to join." The memory brought warmth to her face, and her eyes began to glow lovingly. "He was one of the kindest cats I have ever met."

    a longhaired red tabby with low white and green eyes. flamewhisker's fur is a vibrant hue of red, riddled with thick classic tabby markings. her fur is medium in length, and she has a large, feathery tail. her chest, belly, tail tip, and her paws are dipped white. flamewhisker's eyes are a dark, deep shade of green. her shoulder has a large scar on it from a fight with a dog. she also has a shredded ear from a disagreement with a loner during her time alone before joining thunderclan. on particularly cold days, or sometimes before a major weather change, she will walk with a slight limp from her shoulder injury.
