icefeather's realization

922 words - in which icefeather realizes that the mother of his children was an extremely spoiled child, who thinks that spoiling kid is the way you raise them

“Dad! Dad!” Skykit mewls as she toddles over.

“Sorry, let me just…” Icefeather says. Foxbelly gives him a quick nod and Icefeather faces his daughter. Still tiny and full of kit-fluff, every meow that comes from her mouth is more like a squeak, “What is is, Skykit?”

“Mom said that we can go explore the territory! Wolfkit and Whisperkit are already ready to go! We’re waiting on you dad!” Skykit whirls around, ready to dash off but Icefeather is quick to grab her by the scruff, ignoring the kit’s complaints as he gets up. With one quick nod to Foxbelly, Icefeather walks over to the rest of his family.

Well, his mate and the children he had sired.

It was still odd, thinking of these cats as his primary family. He knows that he should by now, but he had his own parents, his own (half) sibling. Thinking of them and this family as different somehow was odd, but well. If his own father was compartmentalize so well, why should he not be able to?

“Oh, good, you’re ready.” Vastspots says, not looking up from Wolfkit, who was playing with her tail. Whisperkit was content to sit on her mother’s paws, “We’re about to set out—”

“Ah, ah.” Icefeather interrupts, placing Skykit on the ground, “May I talk with you before we go. Privately, please?”

Vastspots tilts her head, “Sure. You three. Stay right here. Don’t move.”

Their children’s mouths (well, Skykit’s and Wolfkit’s. Whisperkit just looks ahead, like she isn’t thinking a thing.) audibly click shut because they shake vigorously. One of these days, Icefeather will have to interrogate just how Vastspots made them listen so well. He could barely keep them all in the same nest on a good day.

Icefeather pulls Vastspots towards the medicine cat den, poking his head inside for a quick moment to make sure that this isn’t going to be broadcast as the latest drama.

“You wanted to talk?”

“What are you doing, Vastspots?” Icefeather blurts, “Where do you plan to go? Our kits are four moons old, there’s a reason kits are supposed to stay in camp, why on earth did you ever agree to let them explore the territory?”

Vastspots stares at him as if he’s grown wings.

“What?” Icefeather exclaims.

“Well. They asked, and so I thought it was a good idea? I mean, we could protect them.”

Icefeather wants to bury his head into the ground, “There’s three kits and two of us. At best, that leaves one kit we won’t be able to grab and book it in the face of danger. And we don’t want the kits seeing us fight at this age, what if one of us got hurt! Nevermind how that means that it’s harder to snatch them up and leave, they’re too young to watch us actually fight! How would you feel if you saw your parents get torn apart by a fox, or a CloudClan warrior, or a ThinleafClan warrior!”

Icefeather only stops when he runs out of air, listing out every negative outcome that he could think of. He inspects every mossball they play with to make sure that they don’t have any thorns and Vastspots wants to take them outside camp?!

“Huh. So we need more warriors?” Vastspots asks.

“...You can’t show special treatment to your kits.” Icefeather sighs, “No. They’re staying in camp until they’re apprentices and that’s final. I don’t know what possessed you to make this decision, but it was a bad one…what did make you think this was a good idea?”

Vastspots, whose face had barely shifted from neutral this entire time, shrugs, “I mean, I would have wanted to do it as a kit. I knew what the whole territory was like before I became an apprentice.”

“Your parents let you leave camp?!”

“...Well. No. They did give me very nice descriptions though…” Vastspots pauses, “Ah.”

“You were such a spoiled kit.” Icefeather tells her fondly. Still her face is neutral but he takes it as an internal smile. If Vastspots was upset she would let him know, “So spoiled that you got everything you wanted without noticing what your parents were actually doing, huh? I’m amazed the three of them coordinated so well.”

Vaststar lets out a quick sigh, “I wasn’t spoiled, per se.”

“Yes you were.” Says Whiteflower, from the medicine cat den, and then, “Continue on as if I didn’t say anything.

“We will not being doing that Whiteflower.” Replies Vastspots.

“What we will—and by we, I mean you—be doing is telling the kits that instead of seeing the territory you are going to describe it to them and we—and by that I mean me—will be taking the rest of the day off.”

“And by that, you mean doing errands?”

Icefeather gives his mate a sharp look. Vastspots has a way of speaking that makes it impossible to tell if she’s laughing at you sometimes. Straightforward and curt, yet saying words that didn’t need to be said.

“Go to your children, Vastspots.” Icefeather tells her. His mate turns around without another word and pads off. He’s used to her quick reactions in the face of orders. As deputy, she was more used to giving them than taking them (especially because Morningstar let her take the reins so often) but with the little things, he can make her move.

“Trouble in paradise, eh?”

“I’m not gossiping with you about my wife, Whiteflower.” Icefeather tells the medicine cat, before padding off to continue his errands.

✨I've got a second chance to fly, I've got a second chance to fall, What can make the tide turn? What can make the fire burn? A second chance is all✨ Second chances come in so many different ways. It can be seen in moments when you’ve fallen short and mistakes were made, you begin to pick yourself up again whilst being gracious to yourself, taking it day by day. It’s being able to take responsibility/accountability and recognizing situations so that you can take the step back to heal and begin again. To start over. To forgive yourself & not be so hard on yourself. Sometimes second chances could be reconciling in relationships/friendships. In most cases they happen when you least expect it, but there’s always something so special when they happen. It gives you the strength to let go of grudges, creating space for inner healing from all the pain/disappointments, witnessing growth & change/improvements from both parties, an alignment of peace, reassurance & hope throughout the restoration process. It’s like in most stories or films, where we’re (the main characters) constantly refining ourselves as we go through further development, and if we’re lucky, it leads to our redemption arc, pinpointing our poignant transformations. The beauty of second chances is the constant evolution, as us humans, we’re always growing, changing, healing & learning from our past. It creates a sense of joy that new beginnings & surprises are possible with yourself & others. “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”- Lamentations‬ ‭3:22-23 💫 #love #instacloud #skylovers #skyback #epicsky #insta #cloudscape #travel #lookup #gloomy #art #sunsetphotography #crazyclouds #bluesky #winter #iskyhub #trees #landscapephotography #photo #mountains #white #overcast #blueskies #sea #view #instagram #beach #snow #moonlight #ocean (at Cambridge, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgy1mRJDH6M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Senator Skyback is not a very remarkable mech. He’s quiet and observant, preferring to mind his own business and let others do whatever. His habits make him a rather poor politician and the other senators tend to get frustrated with him.

undecided means that i haven’t decided, not the cats themselves (i had to figure out the names of vaststar’s kits on the spot) and beefur only has a gender because broadleafclan believes in them

Moon 120

Saltears has become an elder. Their bad eye has become bad eyes and they feel more like a hindrance than a help these days so Hopstar has allowed them to retire. Oddspots still takes Saltears out for walks and beachside cuddles.

Shimmerfreckle's leg was injured by some twoleg garbage.

Redocean and Riversand have caught whitecough.

Pumpkindapple is breathing easy again.

Crestspeckle has brought home two kits. Sunkit and Mallowkit. Starlingclan ignores how the kits smell lightly of a different clan.

Shadowpaw, Lightpaw, Squidpaw, and Moonpaw have all become apprentices under Sleekrun, Riverfin, Sunnybird, and Hailleaf.

Brindlepaw has expressed interest in other clans and ensuring peace is held so Hopstar has made them the first mediator of the clan! Pigeonfleck and Riversand volunteer to teach Brindlepaw all they know about other clans and how to advise cats until they are ready to do this on their own.

Heavytail and Runningcrest have caught whitecough.

Hilltalon caught greencough.

Redocean no longer has whitecough.

Blizzardspots was found dead near the Snipclan border!

Lightpaw and Brindlepaw are trying to talk to Snipclan to get some answers.

Saltears tail has healed.

Mantisearsand Sloepelt caught yellowcough.

Sneezedazzle's broken bone is begining to look infected.

Riversand's and Runningcrest's whitecough is gone.

Springpaw, Fawnpaw, and Beetlepaw have been deemed ready to become warriors. Springpaw becomes Springmimic after their independence. Fawnpaw becomes Fawnfur after their intelligence. Beetlepaw becomes Beetleclaw after their energy.

Shadowpaw has caught greencough.

Moonpaw's leg was horribly injured by a twoleg trap.

Heavytail has been cured of their whitecough.

Sunnybird 'found' and brought back a kit to camp. They name the kit Chasingkit.

(insert image here)

Sneezedazzles broken bone is not looking very good.

Sungill caught whitecough.

Eggsong tried to confess to Treeheart but they were rejected. Eggsong then went to mope along the beach and caught yellowcough.

Peachwhisker is expecting kits!

Hilltalon is feeling much better.

Sloepelt has passed because of their greencough.

Lost and so far away from the cats they knew and loved, Frecklecry wonders if they will even reach Starclan.

Wolverinepeak has caught yellowcough.

Podpaw, Sardinepaw, Conchpaw, and Tumblepaw have all become full warriors of Starlingclan. Podpaw has become Podarch in honor of their spirit. Sardinepaw has become Sardineswipe also in honor of their spirit. Conchpaw has become Conchgleam in honor of their insight. Tumblepaw has become Tumblethud in honor of their resilience.

Buzzardpaw's broken jaw has healed well.

Shadowpaw is no longer coughing.

Whisperpeak is expecting kits!

Oddspots leg is feeling better. Weaker but better.

Sneezedazzle has finally recovered from their infection and broken bone.

Moletangle's leg was injured in a twoleg trap.

Buzzardpaw got into a fight with a rouge and was injured.

A badger attacked the camp! Cats scrambled to battle-ready positions to fend off the lumbering beast.

Hopstar, Wolverinepeak, Sleekrun, and Duckflow raced to defend the nursery. The four cats scratched and batted the badger's long nose whenever it faced their direction. The badger retaliated with a huge paw slamming down toward the cats. Wolveringpeak was unfortunately too slow and was hit full force by the terrifying paw. Duckflow raced forward with the fury of a shark and latched onto the creature's face. Hopstar and Sleekrun followed Duckflow's lead and launched themselves on the badger's back, clawing and biting wherever they could. With a single violent shake, the badger managed to dislodge all of them and bit down on Duckflow's belly.

Freezespots, Honeymurk, Skyback, and Thunderpaw crowded the entrance the the medicine cat den, hissing and spitting and warning the badger away from their den and its vulnerable inhabitants. The badger lashed out at the medicine cats catching Freezespots on the side of their head causing them to go scattering to the other side of the camp. Skyback hissed in furious defiance and laid down vicious blow after vicious blow on the creature's sensitive nose. Sneezedazzle, who had been in the den that morning to have their leg checked over again, came bursting out yowling and slashing their claws against the badger's thick hide until their leg suddenly gave way and they collapsed. As they struggled to stand the badger was driven back by the still hissing medicine cats and they were squashed under paw. Hearing the crunch of bone coming from behind the badger Honeymurk broke formation to possibly drag the injured cat out of the badger's way when they retreat only for the badger to snap at the unsuspecting medicine cat catching their leg, tossing them up and then catching their head in their jaws.

Hopstar yowled a battle command to the remaining cats and they all pulled themselves into a battle formation. Small-statured warriors ducking under the beast's belly and clawing from there. Warriors with the longest legs and most powerful haunches lept onto the badger's back to bite and scratch where they could. Then Hopstar and Crookedbraken rushed the creature's face and scored their claws over its eyes, nose, and lips. With one final furious roar, the badger stumbled backward, turned around, and ran for the dunes. Starlingclan raises their voices in celebration. They had won! but not without their own losses.

Ploverspeak, Hilltalon, Conchgleam, Willowbeetle, Wolverinepeak, Crestspeckle, Duckflow, Honeymurk, Eaglepaw, Sneezedazzle, Pigeonfleck, Weedpaw, and Freezespots remain still and cold on the camp floor. Never to wake again.
