THIS IS LOVE

His mom had come back. Gossips run like fire across the clan and soon everyone know. It hadn't taken long before this gossip had reached him as well. It left a sickening feeling in his stomach just thinking about it. Months had past by now since she had abandoned him. Leechpaw had been around five months at that time. He had just been a kit waiting, and waiting for his mom to come back to him until that hope eventually had run out. Everything. He had lost everything. Leechpaw had been forced to pick up his own pieces to try keep himself together while contunie on walking this road all on his own, to deal with the aftermath of everything his mother had put him through. Leechpaw had grown up to be able to stand on his own paws. He no longer needed her. So why - why was he doing this?.

Why was he sneaking out in the middle of the cold night to walk back to the border where the patrol had meet her?, and why was he following her traces in the snow?.

It was all so he could look her right in the face and say he no longer needed her, to be the one who abandoned her this time. Leechpaw needed this to end all of this once and for all. He had been waiting for this day to show her how fine he had been doing without her and that he was his own cat now. That was what he had convinced himself, determined to believe when his search led him to the horseplace, the forbidden territory to cross. But it was here his mothers pawprints suddenly would end, and the apprentice now stood there in the cold pitch black night out in the open. The twolegs house where just a bit further up that hill.

The chilling wind blew in his fur making him shiver, cold steam left his mouth as he breathed out the warm air in his mouth. He shouldn't have come out here. This had been a mistake. Leechpaw turned around about to walk away....

" My son, i knew you would come and find me. " That voice. Even after a such long time it was still familliar to him in the most unwelcoming of ways. Leechpaw froze in the very spot he stood, his heart starting to beat faster. Swollowing, he slowly turned his head around to look into this mint green eyes that shine in the dark. His pupils grow smaller, his heart beating faster as the blue molly stepped out from the darkness to reveal her form in the snow. It had been months since he last had seen her but...she looked even more horrifying than from his memory. Like a nightmare who had come alive to haunt him. Leechpaw thought after all of this time he had become stronger, strong enough to face her but now...he suddenly felt weak in his legs. If anxiety could eat a cat alive than it would have swollen Leechpaw by now.

She took a step towards him....

" S-stay away from me!." his voice was shaking, and he swiftly turned himself around to face her, ears pinned back and his eyes widened with livid emotions. He couldn't let her get too close...he had to make her stay away!. Rain stopt, and she looked a bit confused but her eyes were observing him closely, and soon that smile came across her maw. That sickening smile that twisted his whole stomach. That all too familliar smile that always send terror inside of him. He could never tell what would happen when she smiled. It made him take a step back.

" What is wrong?. Aren't you happy too see me after a such long time?. I've missed you, you know." Her smile remained, but her eyes got narrowed, sharper, and looking impatient. Rain had never been known to be a special patient cat. She hated to wait. Leechpaw had to gather his thoughts, to think and remind himself why he was here!. To end it all. He needed to stay strong and not fall victim to her words. " How can you even ask me that!. You're the one who abandoned me, rememeber?!. All this time and now...you just suddenly comes back!. " He pauses, his shaking voice becoming a bit more steady for each word that he spoke. Finally he would take a daring step forward, his head lifted. " I...i don't need you anymore!." There, it was said and done. Leechpaw was left breathless afterwards, each word having exhausted him but he looked unshakable. In that moment he thought he had won.

Rain stayed silent for a moment, just staring at him in the dark. Suddenly she opened her mouth. " I didn't abandoned you. I was taken by this awful twolegs when i was visiting the thunderpath after... you know what happened. They took me. They are the ones to blame not me. I've been trying all of this time to get back to you. " Like a viper she would crawl her way over to Leech, using her long and armless body to wrap herself around his body and neck, and into his very ear she would poison his ears with her lying tongue, trapping him into a web of lies.

Just this words and his world come crashing down. Leechpaw no longer looked sure, uncertanity flashing in his eyes. Was she telling he truth?. Has all of this just been a misunderstanding?. " R-really, you have?." He looked more confused than ever, looking completely lost. Rain took a step closer. " Of course. I would never abandon you...not my own flesh and blood. Mama cannot live without her lil leech..." Rain's grip around him grow tighter and she would smirk as she now had appeared up to his face. Leechpaw blinked, shooked over how close she was all of the suddenly. No. She was to close...he needed to get away but...he didn't want to. Or maybe he did. Everything had been shifted out of balance and he could no longer tell what to think or even feel. She reached out a paw and placed it on his cheek and he froze like pure fear had overtaken him. Like he was afried if he moved he was going to die. " Look at you...all grown up. You have grown into a handsome looking tom, have you not?. " She looked at the scars the hawk had done, and her smile from Leechpaw point of view grow even more dreadful. It made him sick. Her touching him was making it difficult for him to breath!.

Leechpaw finally had enough control over his body to back away, his eyes still wide as he desperately tried to break himself free from her grip...from her thorns. " No...i can't... you...you hurt me. " he was not even talking to her but himself. He was mumbling his eyes starting to cricle, going back and forth as he tried to reach his own thoughts but his head was spinning around and around.

" Leech...look at me. I've told you that love is suppose to hurt, have i not?. Everything i have done has been out of love." Leechpaw hesitated before he looked up to face his mother who after being pleased with him obeying contunied. " You hurt me too you know. Giving birth to you hurt and even after you killed my other kits, your littermates...i'm still here willing to love you still. To start over with you. Only a mothers love can be so forgiving and...generous. No one can love you like i do, you know that you foolish lil boy. " she spoke with sweet honey, a pur rumbling in her throat that was nothing but warm. She took a step forward again and this time Leechpaw didn't move. Bringing his littermates up...it was really a low blow to him. The guilt he felt, the blame she had laid on him. Leechpaw felt how his world crumbled down. " I...i didn't mean to.." he choked out, his voice trembling. He hadn't meant too. he hadn't meant for that to happen!.

" Hush, hush my child. It's all okay. It's all in the past now...besides we are gonna have a new family soon." She stopt, her smile growing sickenly sweet as she watched how that baffled expression on her disgusting sons face. " W-what?. " He was left confused. " I'm pregnant you foolish boy, you're gonna have siblings soon, and we can be a family again. " Leechpaw couldn't believe what he was hearing. HIs mother was expecting?. It was then his eyes shifted down to his mothers belly to notice how swollen and round she was. Oh... He just stared, shooked and overwhelmed. " Come my child, lets start over. I promise this time it will be different." A hope. She promised hope for a better future. That things would be different this time. Was it so bad of him to want that?. To start over, to begin again?. He was gonna become a big brother. Leechpaw did not have it in him to abandon his mother who was pregnant. So he nodded his head, still shooked, still confused, and overwhelmed with emotions but one thing was clear...


he had lost and he was back with her again trapped all over again.

 

[VULTUREMASK]

Leechpaw had really taken a risk here but he had no other choice. Prey was rare to find and his mom needed food for herself and the kits. So in desperation he had taken himself all the way to the horseplace to break the rules so he could sneak himself inside the place the hens and chickens where being keept. On a earlier night had watched how a fox had sneaked themselves inside only to come back out with a dead hen in thier mouth. Tonight, Leechpaw was going to do the same. It had been a real tussle inside of there but with some new earn marks after the nips he had recieved from messing with them Leechpaw had succeed with taking one down and had hurried himself outside to drag the dead hen with him.

It was an exhausting walk from the horseplace in this snow to reach the burrow not far away his mother was hiding inside. He was so tired by the time he reached there longing for a break. He had been working non-stop the whole day, first trying to hunt for his clan and then at night he was his mother hunter. " Aha Leech, you are back. " His mother purred as he entered the den, but that smile across her maw quickly changed into a frown when she saw what he had brought in. " A bird?. I thought i told you to bring me a rabbit." What?. Leechpaw could barely believe what he was hearing right now. Leechpaw had been out hunting for her and she was complaining over him not getting her a rabbit?!. His fur bristled as he put the hen in front of his mother paws. " I couldn't find any. Do you know how difficult they are to find this days." he muttered softly, despite the anger that boiled inside of him knew better than to raise his voice at her. " This is the best i could do."

" Hardly. Alright fine. But tomorrow you better find me a rabbit. " Rain hummed, smiling at them sweetly which sent a shiver down his spin. Leechpaw had always found his mom's smiles terrifying because he could never tell what would happen afterwards but he did know when she smiled like that he better be careful. Leechpaw swallowed as he sat himself down, his ears falling a bit back. " What do you mean tomorrow?. This bird should feed you for...two days at least." Not could a expecting molly eat that much, or could they?. Leechpaw lay himself down so he could warm his paws under his belly. He could hear how his mom snorted as she took a few bites from the bird. " Because you didn't get me what i want so you better try harder tomorrow. You do want your kits to grow up to become strong moor runners, do you not?" His mother say through her bites. Leechpaw could do nothing but watch her, and just knowing he had to redo all of this over again tomorrow just made him feel ever more tired. For how much longer did he have to do this?.

" We don't even know if Sootstar will allow you or the kits in." he said carefully. She had already been rejected once before. " Don't worry your head over unecessery things. I have a plan. " She had already said that once before but she refused to further explain it to him. Leechpaw would just sigh, shaking his head. Time to change subject. He blinked his eyes trying to think of something until something plopped up inside of his head. " So, uhm, have you thought out any names to the kits yet?" He hesitantly asked, seeking to rebond with his mom in someway and what better way to do so then talking about her unborn kits?, his unborn siblings.

It took a long moment before Rain even would answer, but once she did the mother licked the blood away from her maw. " Names?, why should i bother my time with that for. The names will come to me once i see them. I will make sure to give them just as good names i did with you and your littermates." she started to lick one of her paws. Leechpaw just stared at her. Good names...His claws got slide out and digged themselves into the dir. " Would you call Leech for a good name?!." There was a livid tone in his voice, something he come to regret when his mom send him a glare. Watch your tone. He would duck down his gaze in submission. " What is so wrong with the name Leech?. It has its 'charm' on you." she said with a taunting smirk, making Leechpaw's back start to bristle. " You called me for a parasite, remember?. You said that was why you gave me that name. How can you expect me to like my name after that." he muttered, his teeth clenching. Rain just stared at him, before a amused snort escaped her. " Oh come on now Leech, don't act so childish. All mothers found thier kits to be parasites. A tom like you can never understand what mothers like us have to sacrifice just by giving birth to you...the pain we suffer to bring you out to this world. How we have to constantly be glued to your sides, taking care of you, comforting them when they cries, listening to thier non-stop ramblings until it gives you headache. Always putting your needs first in front of ours....There is no way any mother not think of thier kits as parasites, to detest them sometimes. Who look out for us during this time?. Do anyone ever show us gratitude?. No. our kits only takes and takes, and then one day they leaves the nest and leave us behind. Being a mother is such an ungrateful job." She explained and her expression turned bitter looking. " So yes i might have named you Leech out of spite for the moment and called you mean things but they where all in the moment. All mothers do that. You can not fault me for it. "

All mothers...hated to raise thier kits?. Was that it?. But if it was such a burden for them why even get kits for then?. Leechpaw was not sure he got it but he was a tom, not a molly and he had never had kits of his own, too young for it to begin with. If he did get some one day would he feel the same way?. Was it really fine to say whatever a mother pleased to their kit just because they where tired?. But then again who was he to point tails on here when he had been doing the same thing. How he had talked and treated Rosepaw, Dandelionwish...everyone around him. Maybe there was a truth to her words. Maybe she had been right to naming him to Leech....still the idea of her giving his younger siblings similliar names didn't settle well with him. But he keept silent about it.

This conversation was over.

 

[VULTUREMASK]

The two had argued. Fresh blood was now spilling down from his ear after his mother had lashed out at him. It was not the first time it had happend this couple of days. The bad cycle is repeating itself. Leechpaw was beyond tired at this point and his mother just keept on complaining, bickering and telling him he was not doing enough. That he was caring more about the clan than her. He has raised his voice in protest, in anger and she had used violence to put him into place. Know your place!. Sounded similliar. Not that many days ago Sootstar had scolded him too. Everyone just keept on pushing him around it was driving him to his limits.

Prove your loyalty to me.

Leechpaw had his teeth clenched as his walked right towards the twoleg place his eyes a storm of emotions. His mom had wanted him to prove he was loyal to her, that he was not like...his father. A runaway who would flee when things become difficult or complicated. " You have no idea what your father did to me!. He was violent and short tempered just like you!. How can i trust you wont end up becoming like him?. A weak coward!. Leechpaw jumped over the fence arriving at the place. He was stalking in the shadows as he made his way over towards the place his mother had showed just some couple of days ago. " If you want a place in this family you have to kill that tom, prove to me you are not a weak kittypet like your father."

He was there just outside waiting for the kittypet to step outside so he could take their life. Leechpaw had been waiting forever for this to happen, that he one day would confront his father and make him pay for abandoning them all. His reason for hating kittypets so much it was all for the blood that was streaming through his own veins. Half-kittypet. Every single day he had to fight against his own blood so no one would know the truth he had been hiding for so long. Every since he had been a kit his own mother had keept on reminding him how worthless kittypets were, that he would end up becoming just like his father. The hatred he had for his own father might be misplaced, might have been brainwashed into him but today in this very moment it felt so real and he was gonna end the tom's life so he finally could have his family back. If he did this than maybe things would actually become better. Maybe his mom would finally stop seeing him like a leech - to get reminded of who he was sired to. If he did this maybe his mom finally could love him.

He waited, and waited until finally the black older tom stepped out from the house and for a brief moment Leechpaw just stared. It was the first time he had seen his father after all and the two looked so much alike. Same fur, same long legs, same tufts on the ears. Black as the night. Even their eyes where the same only difference was that Leechpaw's eyes was a darker shade of orange. But beside that?. It was like looking at himself and it sickened him. As long this tom was alive no wonder his mother couldn't show him the same kindness and warmth Echolight was giving to him...

Leechpaw followed silently watching his father daily routine as he greeted other kittypets, talked and sunbathed in the snow. Laughed and smiled living a normal life. For each passing second as he watched them Leechpaw grow more and more furious. The hated was eating him up on the inside, blaming them for everything. While he had been suffering this tom was living a perfectly happy and normal life. How could that be fair?. " If you kill him Leech, we can finally become a family for real. None of us need to suffer anymore.

They reached an alley and he followed creeping himself up behind them, and then he lunged attacking them from behind. Leechpaw took them by surprise however he was far too weak to win as easily as that. Starved and tired, the kittypet put up a fight and the two clawed and bit at each other before the kittypet saw an opening to get away and took it. Leechpaw chased after his father through the streets trying to catch up. He saw his chance when the tom tried to get away by jumping a fence but slipped and fell back down. It was enough for him to catch up and Leechpaw lunged at them once more, and as he landed at their back he sank his teeth right into the back of his father neck. The tom struggled underneath them but Leechpaw managed to keep them pinned under them. Blood started to drop down from the neck as he bite deeper and deeper his mind to busy on his task to really think of anything else. The rage was winning once again. " Why....why are you doing...this?."

His fathers confusing words snapt him out of it. Leechpaw would slowly let go of the tom while still keeping them pinned underneath him, his breathing heavy as he stared down at them. He could see the fear in this tom's eyes, and he realised that he was the one who had the power here. Just like back then on the moors with that kittypet. He had felt just the same, powerful and in control, liking the fear he infected into somebody else. " Because you deserve to die." His voice was cold and emotionless but he felt a spark of joy as he lifted the paw up in the air ready to end this.

" Leechpaw!." A voice, a deja-vu snapping him out from his murderious trance...and suddenly his eyes went wide as his paw freeze right in the air. Echolight?!. His gaze tore itself away from the cat underneath him instead searching for his former mentor and right in front of him she stood there, only her ghost of course, a hallucination. But she stood there looking at him with disappointment. " I know you can be better than this. " Her words ringed into his ears, and it was only then he realised what he actually was doing. What he was about to do. Leechpaw blinked and suddenly Dandelionwish stood there as well, and Bumblebreeze. All three of them staring at him.

Leechpaw no longer know where he was losing himself completely as he just stared at the ghosts of his friends who wouldn't approve of this, and all he could think about was them how they would react if they saw him right now. They would not want this...for him to do this. Suddenly he was hesitant, scared and the tom underneath him saw their chance and got back their will to fight. All of the suddenly the tom picked themself back up on their paws and stood straight up making Leechpaw stumble himself backwards and as the kittypet spin around coming for him Leechpaw was left defenceless and got knocked down to the ground now being the one who laid underneath them.

Panic was quick to rise inside of his eyes and as he stared up at his attacker his face shifted and changed into his mothers. Leechpaw started to found it difficult to breath as he felt pressure down on his throat. Choking. His mother was choking him!. A supressed memory from his childhood, one he not had wanted to remember. The day when his mother had tried to kill him. Leechpaw saw nothing but fear and he needed to get away, to free himself. With a cry of fear and panic he became like a feral cat underneath them and used his back legs to kick the cat off him. Instantly he started to gasp for air once he was free but it took severely a couple of minutes before he had calmned himself down enough for him to be able to breath somewhat normally again. Unsteadily he got back up on his paws and started to search around for the cat,tom, his father and when he found them his blood grow cold. A bit away the lifeless body of the black tom lay, blood running out from the back of their head as they had cracked thier head by the fall when they had hit their head to hard on the asphalt.

Leechpaw was left standing there for a long moment simply staring as the process was slow for him to grasp everything that just had happend. He had...killed them hadn't he?. In the end he had become a murderer anyway. Shaking. He was shaking and he collapsed on the ground, by his fathers body. Just staring, saying nothing to shooked and overwhelmed to have any reaction.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hours had past by before Leechpaw had returned back to the burrow, to his mothers side once more. He stepped inside but he was awfully quiet not saying a word just staring as his let his shadow reveal he was back. Rain had been sleeping but woke up when she noticed his presence. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him. " Did you do it?." Was her instant question. " Yes." He answerd with a hollowish voice, something was off with his eyes. He looked distant and cold. His mother did not seem to notice or maybe she didn't care. " Good. But where is the food?. You could have at least brought food back with you." Leechpaw mouth parted slightly, his mother loveless words lacking any warmth just like always. Cold and unreachable. He had just killed someone for her but all she did was keep on demanding things from him. Would she ever be satisfied?.

It was then it came to him. The truth he had been to blind to want to see. She would never change. No matter what he did she would never change, never look at him like Echolight did with her kits, or Sootstar did with hers. That warm look, this loving words. What he craved and wanted so much, so badly. He would never get that from them. His mother was as cold and heartless as a cat could be. All she had ever done was hurt him, use him. She was the cause of everything, the rot to all of his suffering not his father. It was all her.

And now he had become a murderer because of her.

Leechpaw said nothing, he did nothing. All he did was turn his back on her to walk away even ignoring as she yelled his name. Empty. He felt empty and numb inside. For the first time in his life Leechpaw felt nothing at all. It was like something had broke inside of him.

He had killed himself to become what his mother wanted him to be....and for what?.

 

[VULTUREMASK]

It was time. Patiently he had been waiting for this day to arrive and finally it was here. Carefully he had been planning everything out for two weeks time as he had keept on coming to visit the den of hell putting up with all of her bullshit. But no more. Today he would finally set himself free and spread his wings out into the night like a vulture circuling the sky.

Silently he would enter the den, fur of a rabbit ript apart in his mouth. Warmth for the little ones so they wouldn't freeze. His mother lay in the den, tired and exhausted after giving birth only some few days ago. It was absolutely perfect, the timing couldn't possibly be any better. She was sleeping, not even having noticed when he had stept inside. After all she hadn't been expecting him until far, far later today. Outside the storm was raging on almost like it was on his side today. For a long moment he would stand above his mothers sleeping figure staring her down with small wide pupils. A dreadful face. One made of pure hatred. Vulturemask would spare a glance down at his three younger siblings who laid so unsafe and unprotected by his mothers belly. They looked to be in peace, so vunerable and innocent. If only they knew what sort of mother they had got cursed with. If he let them be only pain and misery would come down them and he wouldn't allow it. The moment his eyes had landed on them he knew he had to protect them no matter the cost.

With much care he would carefully place the rabbits fur on top of them, to keep them protected from the cold, and then finally his attention was pulled back to the monsterous creature. His mother.

" Wake up, mother." His voice was cruel as he called out to them to awake them from their slumber. It worked. Rain would open her eyes to look up at their son. " You're back already?" She asked, not suspecting a thing. How could she?. He had been playing out his role excellently until now, letting her contunie to push him around and abuse him like always. " Come with me." He would demand and he saw in his mothers eyes that did not settle well with her. It was almost bringing joy inside of him to see such displeasure in his mothers eyes by her son's lil 'rebellion' against her. He watched her stand up saying, " Watch your att- " She got cut off as suddenly Vulturemask claws was slashing her cheek as he rammed her head right into the dens wall. It was a hard hit, making her crumble down back to the ground in confusion. Vulturemask did not waste anytime as he leaned down so he could whisper into her ear. " I'm not asking again." With a quick motion of his head he would grapt the back of his mother scruff and he would drag her out of the den and out into the raging storm so he could throw her right into the cold snow.

Rain weakly got back up on her stumbling paws not having much strenght, and in his eyes she looked absolutely pathetic there she stood without any strenght. She was the vunerable one for once and he gleed himself with that knowledge. " What on earth are you - !! " She snarled but once again Vulturemask cut them off, not even allowing them to finish. " I would run if i were you." He lifted his head up higher, his eyes glaring down at her with such a dreadful expression, his voice chilling to the core as he spoke. " If you wanna live." A warning, but his mother still did not get it, thinking she was still in control here. " Now you listen to me here Leech!, the nerve you have to treat me like this!." Blaah,blaah,blaah. Tch. How delusional could she possible be?. Vulturemask lost his patience, and while she keept on rambling on nonsense he was quick to make his move, and before she realised what would happen next he lashed out a paw towards her this time aiming for one of her eyes. A cry got died down by the storm as blood got spilled on the white snow now a shooked Rain staring up at his son like he was a stranger to her. Finally there seemed to be some sort of realisation in her eyes, a grasp of the situation at hand.

" You really should do what you are told for a change....unless of course you wanna make this more painful then it has to be?" He stept closer, unbotherd by the blood on his claws as he creept closer to his mother who much to his amusement was taking a step back. " Of course...there is always the option of eating you alive." A cruel dead smirk would fill his maw. Just like a vulture who eats their dying prey. There was some sort of knowledge behind that statement, like it was not unforeign to him. His mom looked terrified and that made him feel fantastic. She had always looked so terrifying to him, so dreadful and powerful but now?. She looked so pathetic, vunerable. He couldn't explain how good it felt to have the tables turned around for a change.

" What is it gonna be, mom?." And finally he got the reaction he had been dying for. Rain turned around and started to run for her life knowing damn well she couldn't win in her condition or...perhaps, she had been a coward all along?. Who knew. He didn't care as he would rush after her to begin the chase, feeling like a hunter who was hunting down his own demons.

The blizzard was livid,merciless, fortunate to him Vulturemask knew this territory very well by know but his mother did not. She was slow in the snow, tired after giving birth just a day ago. It was easy for him to catch up to her but Vulturemask on purpose let her think she had a chance to get away, just for the fun of it. The chase was well thought out making sure she ran in the right direction and when she took the wrong turn... Vulturemask would increase his speed to leapt at her so he could tackle her to the ground so he on purpose could direct her to continue to run at the direction he wanted her to go. It was a cat and mice game, and Rain did not suspected a thing as she tried to flee for her life until they reached the thunderpath.

Rain realised what she had ended up and came to a sudden halt, panting heavily with the breath suffocated in her throat. Blood running down her face after getting blinded in one of her eyes after her son's previous attack. She with panic looked around after her son but he was nowhere to be seen. Had she outrun him?. What is wrong with him!, has he lost his damn mind?!. Thoughts where wild inside of the mothers head, trying to think through everything and what she was supposed to do next. Little did she know she was an open target and that she was not out of danger. Without warning Vulturemask would rush out from behind a bush he had been hiding in and with Rain's back turned against him the black warrior would leap at her from behind. In the last second Rain saw the shadow fell over her in the snow, and as she turned come eye to eye with her son who was out after her blood. Rain hissed and went up on her backlegs as Vulturemask came flying down from the sky at her, claws digging into her shoulders as he forced her down on the ground on her back. Both hissed at each other before Rain tried to defend herself as she lashed out a paw and clawed one of Vulturemask's ears with it, spilling his own blood on the ground. Vulturemask was numb to the itching pain in his ear as he stood unmoving upon her only turning his head briefly away to avoid getting unnecessery hurt by his mothers claws. He then procceed by using one of his paws to pushed it down upon his mothers throat to choke her.

Vulturemask watched as his mother started to struggle underneath him for breath, gasping after air. His gaze remain cold as he stared down at them. " What's wrong mom not liking it when you are the one who gets choked. " he would spat at her, pushing his paw down even more, and despite her attempts to try to get his paw away, one used to claw at the said leg that was choking her and the other pushing at his face trying to get him off her. Vulturemask face was forced to the side but he still keept his gaze locked at her. The fear in her eyes, the panic. He wonderd....if this was how he had looked from his mom's point of view when she had done the same to him when he only had been four months old.

When she finally looked to be at the edge of losing consciousness he would remove the paw from her throat but before she even could get one moment to gasp for air...Vulturemask used the same paw to reach up to her unharmed eye to place it right above it and then cut slow and painful down her eye as the claws digged right into her eye. Screams, the agony of screams echoed through the blizzard as he for the first time heard his mother scream out in pure pain. How shooking. He hadn't thought a cat of her kind was capable to scream like that. So even his own mother was able to feel pain?.

When he was done blinding his mother entierly he stept of them at final last, to leave them in the snow to groan in pain while he placed himself a bit away, staring blankly out at the thunderpath. He had not been able to bring himself here ever since he had left for the moors. Painful memories flashed inside of his head as he watched the black ground. " I can't see, i can't see!, what...what have you done!!, yo-you wicked monster!. " His mother finally snarled through painful groans. Oh?. She still had the strength left to speak?. Vulturemask tore his face away from the thunderpath to stare at his mother who was stumbling herself up on her paws with no vision for the world anymore. Blood dripping down on the snow from her face...eyes. A stiff satisfied smirk traced his lips as he watched her. Monster, him?, hilarious. " I just figured...i should let you know how it felt like." he begin before he turned to face her again, slowly approaching her in the snow. [ " To be vunerable...defenseless, powerless." He was almost right in front of her, and Rain in paniced lashed out a paw at him blindly, which he dodged away from by taking a step to the side. He then started to circle her as he contunie to speak. " How does it feel like to have lost all control?, to know you stand no chance against me. Are you scared mother, perhaps now it's about time to beg me for mercy..." He was in front of her again taking a step forward and another one, and Rain backed away from him not realising she was getting closer to the thunderpath.

He rememberd now everything so clearly, memories he had surpassed. How many times had he not cried?, pleading for her to stop, feeling so powerless and defenseless. How had his littermates felt?. She stayed silent, and Vulturemask patience started to run out. " Do you not even feel any remorse over what you have done...ANSWER ME!!." he suddenly kicked up snow right at her face, fur bristling. " Remorse over what?. Is this your pitiful way over getting back on me for trying to make you strong?. You ungrateful lil brat." his mom would fire back, no longer backing away from him. She stood her ground, growing tired to run away, knowing there was nowhere to run anymore.

Vulturemask froze, his features growing colder. " I know what happened on the thunderpath. I know what you did!!, to me, to all of us!!. he would growl, claws digging into the snow. And she had dared to put the blame on him, letting him think it had been all his fault!. Rain lowered down her head, twitching her ears as she tried to listen to the blind world around her. " So this is what this is about?, Revenge?, haha.... i knew i should have killed you when i had the chance.. You are and will always be weak. You should have died alongside your littermates on that thunderpath...I should have finished what i started back then." That confession was all he needed to hear. Suddenly his anger froze into ice. " You - "

Before he had a chance to say anything more his mother suddenly lunged at him. Vulturemask eyes went wide and he in the last second manged to dodge away, swinging around as he now stood where his mother had stood with his back against the thunderpath. Rain turned to face him, trying to listen to know where he stood, smelling after his scent. " If i'm gonna die today i'm bringing you down with me, Leech!!." she jumped blindly at him, and this time Vulturemask was unable to move away so instead he went down slamming the head in to snow as his mother landed on top of him.

He had briefly closed his eyes before he opend them only to find his mothers paw pressing down at his throat as she was trying to choke him. Vulturemask stared up at his mothers bleeding face terror flashing into his eyes over this repeating moment, having been here before. He started to fight for breath, his time struggling under them now as he started to panic until...The well known thundering sound of a monster were coming their way brought him back into reality, and as the light of the monsters eyes capture the corner of his eyes, Vulturemask knew what he had to do. With a quick motion with his backlegs he kicked at his mothers underbelly to send her off flying nto the road. He had just manged to roll himself around to his stomach when he watched his mother who had only got halfway up from the ground got run over by the monster...it happened in the blink of an eye and Vulturemask stared long afterwards while helding a paw against his throat.

It took a long while before he stood back up on his paws, only staring into the night at the thunderpath as he spotted the remaining pieces of his mothers body. It was over...it was finally over wasn't it?. Vulturemask find it hard to believe. Was he finally free?. Slowly he turned his back at the gruesome scene, stumbling a bit as he walked the first steps until he believed himself seeing something in the blizzard. Four ghost looking cats in the size of kits. It might only have been in his head, a hallucination made of his own exhaustion. But...he believed himself seeing the ghosts of his own littermates, but only for a split second before the wind took them away to fade away for good. They could finally rest in peace knowing they had been avenged.

Now he just had to get back to his new siblings, his new family and stay with them until morning came and Bumblebreeze would help him with bringing the kits back to camp...to windclan there their new lives could begin.
