Cautionary Tale: ??

Story: 

She was a good mother, who only ever did what was best for her kits.

Her heart broke in two when Gorsepaw ran up to her, crying that his mentor had yelled at him for goofing off. She held him close, comforting him as he sobbed into his fur.

He was only six moons old, for StarClan's sake! Harestrike couldn't loosen up a little bit? She confronted him in the centre of camp, but as furious and defensive as she was, Harestrike was too stubborn to apologize, reiterating that he was in the right to mentor his apprentice however he wants.

Over the next moon, Gorsepaw would go to her over and over again, needing her comfort. She had tried joining the training sessions, but had to be banned from it because she kept rushing in to protect Gorsepaw whenever he was in the slightest bit of trouble, once nearly clawing an older apprentice that got the upper-paw on him.

One day, Sunsplash couldn't handle it anymore and followed Harestrike when the tom went on a solo hunt.

She demanding he walk with her to the training sessions and do to her exactly what he had done to her son--how tough he is will settle if he's too rough on Gorsepaw or not.

Harestrike, rolling his eyes, complied.

During the mock-battle, Harestrike began to jeer insults, a tactic of his. Sunsplash was able to ignore it. That is, until the insults turned to her kits. Sunsplash saw red and tore at Harestrike, claws unsheathed. He was dead in a matter of heartbeats.

Sunsplash was horrified at what she had done, racing back to camp. She opened her mouth to tell everyone, but no words came. She could hardly believe what was happening. She slunk to her nest, eyes wide, waiting for someone to get her, to accuse her, to exile her...

Her breath caught in her throat when she heard cats yowling Harestrike's name.

They had found him dead--killed by a fox, they claimed, after finding his partially-eaten corpse. It must have found Harestrike's body and chowed down.

Thank StarClan!

No, she thought quickly. They wouldn't be helping her with such a horrible crime. She should be ashamed, appalled, anguished.

But she couldn't help but notice how much happier Gorsepaw became with his new mentor. After every training session, he came running to her, a bright smile on his face rather than tears, and he would babble on and on about what a wonderful day he had.

If Harestrike had lived, her son would have been miserable.

Perhaps it was for the better.

From then on, Sunsplash would kill anyone who threatened her kits. It started off as those who inarguably deserved it. Abusive mentors, an enemy warrior who nearly killed them in a battle. But as time went on, her reasons grew. Anyone who so much as said a bad word against her kits--or later grandkits--anyone who gave them an attitude, anyone who so much as looked at them wrong. They all ended up dead.

Due to her immense love for her family, it's to no surprise that she was incredibly worried when Tulipkit went missing. She searched for him, desperately calling out, and found him at Snakerocks.

He smiled when he saw her. Something poked at the rocks by his feet.

Sunsplash rushed over to save him.

—Joking insults and friendly teasing don’t count, it’s only if the other cat means it, says it seriously, or if it clearly affects her kit.

--Hollowpaw, Hawkkit, Snowkit, and Tigerkit don't have full names because I figure not everyone is gonna make it to warriorhood.

—I was originally going to say that she does discipline her kits, just doesn’t like others doing it, but nah I think she should be more flawed. Her kits can never do wrong ever, they are perfect.

I think Grace probably started fighting because she really wanted to help, however she could, but that grew into not wanting to take the chance that there would be no one else to do it. I think it’s something the druids have probably beaten into the ground, “You were chosen; it has to be you; etc.” She probably just didn’t want to leave all these people hanging. Although, now that so much time has passed, she genuinely loves these people and this island, and she decided that this is the hill she wants to fight and die on.

Why does your MC fight?

The Possession - Michael Rutger

The Possession, by Michael Rutger. Spooky, unsettling and a lot of fun. Highly recommended! @zaffrebooks

THEY CAME LOOKING FOR ANSWERS

A group of explorers arrive in the remote town of Birchlake, Northern California, to investigate the appearance of mysterious stone walls.

WHAT THEY FOUND WERE QUESTIONS

A teenage girl has disappeared without a trace.

FOR NOT EVERYONE IS AS THEY SEEM

Soon it becomes clear that the two events may be connected in the most terrifying way. Because sometimes the walls we build…
