The-Golden-Sunset 

"Cedarfall?"

Aspenkit skipped up to the large, ragged grey elder that paced across the camp towards the prey pile for an evening meal. The kit had heard a lot about him, from both his mother and Finchkit. While Vixentail told him not to question such things, Finchkit had told him Cedarfall was his father. Every other litter had a tom to look up to, so why not Aspenkit? He only had Vixentail, and the she-cat was always in the nursery tending to him and his siblings. He decided it was about time to confront him.  cedarfall was probably the most intimidating cat in the clan, but Aspenkit had know.

"What?" The old tom asked, apparent irritation in his husky voice.

"Finchkit told me you were my father. Is it true?"

Cedarfall let out a long sigh, sitting down in the damp grass. "Unfortunately that is so, Aspenkit. Alas, it is neither mine nor your issue. Knowing your kin is far from imperative on your journey to becoming the strongest warrior. But I cannot bother with such futile efforts to raise kits with a she-cat with her head in the clouds. I'm already a useless elder,  I don't need the likes of you reminding me of my past mistakes." 

Aspenkit let out a small whine, his tail sticking straight up. "But Cedarfall! All the other kits have big, strong toms to look up to! You... You're just a mean old elder!"

Cedarfall hissed, standing up. "Being a warrior isn't about having kits or a she-cat to worry about. It's about protecting your clan. And by Starclan I will not reflect on the fact that my servings were not not enough!" 

He snapped at the kit, who coward away with his orange tail drooping. Cedarfall grumbled, returning to the prey pile.
