TRIGGER WARNING

child neglect and abandonment and injury description

remember me for centuries

​

She winces slightly as she adjusts her position because her injured leg hurts. She isn't sure anymore what she is supposed to do now. Her goal had always been to impress her mother and gain her approval, but her mother is gone now. Without a goal she doesn't know what to do. She would have followed her mother, but walking hurts too much. Her mother never was a very warm cat even with her brothers, but until today, she hadn't been outright mean to her. If anything she'd get a disapproving look as if she wanted to say "You can do better." or she told her to be more like her brothers. That is of course if she payed attention to her at all. She simply never was good enough to warrant much attention from her mother. Unlike her brothers. They were always better than her and would get attention and approving words from her mother. They didn't seem to like her too. They'd always make fun of her size and taunt her for not being good enough. She just wanted to prove to them she could be good too. That's why she tried extra hard at her first climbing lesson yesterday. Perhaps she hadn't been as careful as she should have been because of this. For once she had wanted to be better than her brothers. She hadn't payed enough attention where she should put her paws and one misplaced paw was all it took for her to slip and fall to the ground. It had really hurt and she could hear a sickening crack from her leg. She couldn't walk when she tried to, her leg just hurt too much. This morning her mother grabbed her by the scruff and carried her here. Like usually she hadn't been gentle with her. She practically let her fall when they got here and just left her. When she asked why all her mother said was: "You're nothing but a burden and I don't have time for that."

Creek had hoped all the time that her mother would come back eventually despite already having a feeling she wouldn't. It has been a really long time since her mother had left, so perhaps it's time to admit she won't come back. Her mother doesn't want her anymore. Maybe she never wanted her. Without meaning to she starts to cry at this realisation. Tears just start to well out of her eyes even though she doesn't want to cry. She shouldn't cry. Crying means weakness and she isn't weak, won't be weak anymore.]​
