The Flood of Terror: Splash

From start to present, I was a flood, starting small, ending big, and being revived to start again.
== Chapter 1: Beginning ==
I was born to my mother Streamfur and my father Badgerstripe. I had 4 siblings, all names I cannot remember, as they rarely to never spoke to me as I grew up. I was the runt, as you would say, my parents didn't believe I'd make it through the coming leafbare, nor did they believe I'd even live to see the snow of leafbare. When I did though, they decided I had to go. They threatened me, beat me up, but it was my siblings who did most of the work, the torture, everything, to me, as if my parents had a sliver of peace within them, that made them fearful of hurting me too much.
== Chapter 2: Devastation ==
I grew up, rarely being trained, or treated like my larger siblings were. Eventually, while sleeping in the family cave, my family heard the roar of rising water, and evacuated, hoping I would die in my sleep as the water began to rise through the rocks. I unfortunately, woke up, feeling water surrounding my paws, and woke up, lifting my head up, I looked around, and instantly felt depressed as I saw my entire family was gone without a trace. I sighed, getting up and wading through the water, before coming across a tall tree, and climbed up, waiting for the water to recede. Eventually the water receded, and I wandered around, calling out my parents names, only later to find their bodies, and the bodies of my siblings, laying coldly on the ground. They had drowned trying to escape. I bid them farewell, letting their bodies rot away for what they did to me, as even though I loved them, they never loved me back, and so I left.
== Chapter 3: A Gift? ==
Days after leaving my families bodies, I grieved of their loss, becoming extremely depressed, and my soul hardened by the second. Eventually a large tangerine shecat with charcoal colored eyes approached me. Out of nervousness, I hissed, as the cat slowly approached me. Soon, we introduced ourselves, and I melted down in tears in front, as I had released my feelings, emotions, depression, and hatred. I had finally found someone to lean on, and I eventually joined the group she was in, The Pack of Towering Trees. Eventually, I met her cubs, Caspian, a hot-headed, red and black furball of a tom, and Arora, a tangerine and grey, calm, and very funny shecat, and many other cats.
== Chapter 4: Something New ==
Sometime after joining The Pack of Towering Trees, I realized I had feelings for the tom Caspian, I just didn't know how to tell him, until one day when he confessed to me while we snuck off into the snowy mountains at some point. We've stayed friends, but wonder what the future holds for us, prophecies? Death? or a peaceful life? We don't know, but we know we all will be in this together.
== Chapter 5: Names ==
It had been many moons since my realization of my feelings thawing from the cold ice of what was left from my kithood, and it was time to become an apprentice, or as they would say in The Pack of Towering Trees, a prodigy. I may have been skilled with herbs from slight training, but I wanted the life of a warrior than a calm, collected medicine cat. I kept my name, as I had been a loner, but if I had been pack-born, I'd be known as Splashpaw. I'd much rather like my current name of Splash, as it fits me more, than adding the last part. I began training, and excelled in hunting, but I'm gathering excitement for the upcoming battle training. I'm prepared, and I'm ready to live on, to see my warrior days, to see future kits-maybe even mine-and much more.
== Chapter 6: Success ==
I've completed my training as a Prodigy, and happily and excitedly, I've become a Gladiator, ready to fight and serve my pack day and night when they need me most. Now that I'm a gladiator, I think I can finally show my feelings around my friend Caspian. I'm glad to have become a gladiator, now I can think of more things to do, and be able to go outside and have some mini adventures around the territory, but I must stay out of trouble. I can't wait for my first day as a Gladiator to come.
== Chapter 7: Surprise! ==
It's only been what? Two moons since my ceremony of becoming a Gladiator? And I'm already expecting my first litter. Surprising huh? Well, not really.. it is Caspian's cubs so without a doubt it can't really be that surprising.. Hopefully all cubs, (or just the one cub) come out alright. I can't wait.. but then I'm nervous, what if I fail at being a mother? I have to be happy, I mean, not all felines are able to be given this kind of gift in their lifetime, or that it's not as special as they hoped. I'm happy I lived this long, now to continue living!
== Chapter 8: Miracles travel with Tragedies ==
After the announcement, and many moons, it had come time for the cubs to be due. We had figured out at some point it was four cubs altogether-we just hoped all came out healthy and strong as usual. After the process we had the cubs- all except one. Spider, my only other son- was born with a lung defect causing him to be unable to breathe- causing him to die in the process. He was buried outside by a nearby stream by Caspian, while I watched-heartbroken and depressed. In the end, we had our two little daughters- Amber and Diamond, and our only son- Fallen. I'll treasure these little ones and hope that they come out alright. The only other cub with a defect/deformity of some sort is Amber- a slight smell/scent defect, but it's slight and barely noticeable to most noses. Hopefully they'll all turn out alright and maybe I'll have another chance to be a mother with success and without tragedy.
(this'll be continued as this character grows and matures over time :3)
