Cautionary Tale: ??
Story:
He woke up cold. Cold and hungry.
Not for mother’s milk, as a kit his age should be, but for blood.
For those first few months, he squirmed around blind, living off bugs but unable to die.
Until one day, the light seeped in, changing everything.
He could hunt! Could finally satisfy the gnawing hunger.
With eyes open, he could hunt better, and grew quickly.
However, he was still small.
The first time he saw another cat, he was overcome with a hunger that gnawed at his empty stomach.
He could almost taste the blood, but he knew enough to wait.
He followed the cat back to a shallow den, where three tiny kits waited.
They were small, weak. Wormkit waited until the parent was gone, then snuck in.
He only intended to take a little blood from each. Just enough to grow. But the kits were small, and he needed to eat!
He left just in the nick of time. The parent wailed, but he felt stronger. Strong enough to move to the next camp.
Since the desert Clans were nomadic, he only had to set up in a tiny cave and wait.
Over the moons, he ate well, but never seemed to grow, staying as small as the one-moon old kits he sometimes hunted.
One night, he snuck into the den, not knowing that Orchidkit, the eldest, was waiting. She had lost four brothers to secondary infections, and when she saw a stranger sneaking towards Guppykit, she struck.
