Why Would They Care

''This is a short story about Ferncloud by Mistybird. Part of the In The Background series.''

I suffer...

But they don't care one bit.

''This is my story. Ferncloud's story.''

Why Would They Care
All they wanted me for was to have kits.

I was stuck in the Nursery for all my life, mostly.

Cats make fun of me.

''"Kit machine!" The cat shouted, as I couldn't fight. But the insult scarred me. And it would forever...''

I longed to hunt.

I longed for Dustpelt. Even though he is the reason I'm here.

I longed to mentor an apprentice.

Not just having kits.

Some times, I cry to myself.

And think about the life I'll never have.

A life full of adventure, hunting, and training.

But that will never happen.

I shouldn't wish anymore.

I'm scorned.

I'm mocked.

And sometimes, I wish it would all just stop.

I thank the Dark Forest for killing me.

But maybe, just maybe, they'll let me start fresh.
