"I lay down, looking at my beautiful kit. She had sleek black pelt - just like him. Today I had found out that her eyes were amber - just like his - the way I had known they would look. The same look in their faces. She would always be a memory of him, for me. A memory that I loved. I had always pictured myself living in the forest as a rogue, with a mate that loved me and a kit that looked up to me and him. But this life hadn't turned the way I wished when I was younger. My mate was a clan-cat. But he loved me - and I loved him. I had a kit, that I knew would grow to look up to me, but she hadn't met her father. She wouldn't be able to look up to him, and wish she would grow up to be stronger, brighter, smarter and faster than him. She wouldn't. I felt a rush of anger inside me. I felt frustrated with myself for not being able to give my kit what I've always wanted to - what I wished I could. She's going to meet him some day. I told myself. And when that day comes, we will be the happiest family I could ever imagine. We would be an inseparable threesome. Living in a clan - like he wanted - happily. Nothing would tear us apart. And she, Sunny, would be proud to look up at both of us. Her parents. She will. When she meets him."@en . . . . . "Left To Stay"@en . . . . "I lay down, looking at my beautiful kit.
