Wiltedflower The Silent

[Wiltedflower/Bravekit]

<sub>"And ever so slowly, the beautiful flower began to wilt."
"The only thing that I care about now is my clan."
"No one has ever truly loved me and many will forget my name a moon after I pass. But for the time being I'll do what I can."
"Why shouldn't I die!? Starclan has taken such important warriors and then they leave me! I'm useless. An ugly piece of fox dung who should be dead. My father was right. He was right all along."


~ Name Transitions ~</sub>

_{Wiltedkit - Her mother had a dream of a flower and she saw herself, walking over to it. But as she neared the flower a dark mist engulfed her and the flower began to slowly wilt. She was supposed to be named Rosekit after the flower her mother saw. But after her mothers death her father declared her name would be Wiltedkit. From that day he refused her as his own.
Wiltedpaw - As she aged Wiltedpaw began to feel more of a curse. Her father had died from a badger attack a bit before she became an apprentice, adding to her belief. Also during her training her tail is taken by a fox trap.
Wiltedflower - Named because of the marking on her side and for her sweet personality. Also given to her because of her mothers omen and love for flowers.}

~ History ~

Birthing and Kit life

It was a calm greanleaf, evening in the Lichen camp. Many were asleep, Brightsky included. Only she dreamed of things only an expecting mother would. The omen that would help decide her future kit(s) names. Brightsky was surrounded by beautiful flowers but one stood out in particular. A bright red rose shone under the moonlit night. As she padded closer to see it better a dark mist engulfed the flower and it slowly began to wilt. That next morning Brightsky informed her mate and medicine cat of the dream that same evening the kit was born. Something was wrong though. She was too early. The little kit wasn't expected for another few weeks. The birthing was rough and painful for the queen it drained all of her energy. Brightsky game birth to a small little. It was beautiful in her eyes. Her mate Hawkthorn ran into the nursery as soon as he heard mews from the kit. What about his mate? He didn't care about the blasted kit! What about his mate!? He hurried over to the mother to see life was leaving her. Oh great Starclan not her! Take the ugly, small thing. Brightsky soon died and all that remained of her was the kit. Hawkthorn stared at it with such fury. This thing killed his beautiful mate. This was no Rosekit. No this thing was Wiltedkit. She wilted the life right out of Brightsky. She didn't deserve a name that didn't describe her.  The tom wouldn't listen to none who tried to reason with him. This thing was not his daughter. It was the monster that took his love. Wiltedkit was to be handed to another queen to care for her. As Wiltedkit aged and learned to speak she soon learned of her father. No matter how much the kit tried to get his attention and to love him, he just continued to hate her. Often insulting her and claimed such a small,weak thing would make a horrible warrior. It was true though...she was weak and small. She didn't grow at the pace the others did. The kit soon became silent, many began to think she was mute. Wiltedkit just couldn't get herself to speak to anyone anymore. As moons passed the friendless Wiltedkit's apprentice ceremony neared. All cats had gathered around the highrock to hear who would be moving up. All except one. Hawkthorn. The tom had passed not even a day before her ceremony. A badger attack went wrong. Some whispered how it was a sign. Either way the kit was excited. Who would be training her? Who would give their knowledge to the little thing. Wiltedkit couldn't believe her ears. She had gotten none other than Crowstar. Lichenclan's leader. 

 Apprenticehood

Wiltedpaw was always eager to learn and she had the best teacher possible. The small cat looked up to Crowstar. He was practically her idol. It was always funny to see the small thing practicing with one of the largest cats in the forest. Although hard at times she did start to learn how to maneuver around and best him. Wiltedpaw was even starting to make friends! The silent kit had begun to speak more with the encouragement of Crowstar. Everything was finally starting to work out for her. Except one thing. Nightmares. Her father began to haunt her at night. Plaguing her dreams and telling her she'd never be good enough. They were so terrible that most nights she'd get no sleep at all, afraid to see that face again. Wiltedpaw worked her way through it though. No silly nightmare was going to hold her back from helping her clan. Moons passed and the small kit had now matured. Her warrior's ceremony was nearing and she couldn't wait to help her clan even more. One day the apprentice decided to go one a little hunt. As she ventured into the forest she came across a nest up in a tree. This would be the perfect snack. As the she-cat climbed her way up a strong wind traveled through the forest, causing her to fall out of the tree. The apprentice let out a loud wail as she kit the underbrush, her tail falling smack dab in a trap. Between her loud yowling and calls for help the apprentice caught sight of a cat. Almost as if it was a ghost there stood her father. "Oh dear....seems it didn't kill you."He spoke coolly before disappearing without a trace. Pigeonwatcher soon found her and helped treat her. But not without a cost. Her beautiful, long tail was now gone. Some say Pigeon keeps it in his den and sleeps with it. No one will ever know. She believed her father was the cause of her injury. Some believed her. Some didn't. Whether they did or not didn't matter. It was the idea that spirits could come in contact with the living. Future events would show that her explanation might not have been paranoia.

Warriorhood

Once Wiltedpaw had healed her warriors ceremony began. Wiltedpaw now would be known as Wiltedflower for her sweet nature and flower marking. Her clanmates cheered her name and all she could think about was how she was gonna do whatever it took for her clan. As moons passed the forest began to get sick. The prey was no longer eatable and cats were beginning to get sick. Many things were happening around her that none could make sense of. Her apprenticehood nightmares vanished though, leaving the warrior at peace. As one thing left something new arrived. Budding feelings for a dark hued tom. The little warrior would soon find out though that another good friend of hers felt the same. Someone more qualified and better for him. Her friend and her crush had become mates, leaving Wiltedflower heartbroken. As soon as some good things came around they left. Of course she was happy for them. Why shouldn't she be? They were her friends. But the jealous still stayed in the back of her mind. The she-cat began to fall into a somewhat depression. She realized she had so few friends and not many cared for her. Cats younger than her were already having kits! Maybe her father was right. Maybe she was a disappointment. She often wondered what her mother thought of her. The nightmares are back as well. Everything is just caving in. Now Wiltedflower is just trying to live day by day. Feed her clan as much as possible and do what she can. She tries not to show it but the small, beautiful flower is beginning to wilt. 

 Current 

After the end of the flood Wiltedflower disappeared without a trace. Some thought she was dead others assumed she left the clans. The warrior had began to travel alone in unknown woods, trying to find herself and get better. The depression that had for so long been a part of her soon started to leave. She felt horrible for leaving her clans in such a time but she thought if she stayed she'd snap and hurt the cats she cared about. Wiltedflower had hoped she could leave and have everyone think she was dead. But as the moons dragged on she began to realize how much she missed her clan. Now she has returned. Everything's the same with her clan yet so different. She's just hoping she can fix the things she's done. Or if it was even the right thing to come back.
