❁Purekit
"I try to live true to myself, but...somehow, I'm living a lie."
═══════════════════════
[Purekit took a deep breath, shifting on her paws reluctantly. She slowly waded in the water, slightly uncomfortable.
Huh....the water actually feels...nice... she thought, enjoying the water lapping at her flank.
About one cat-length from the shore, though, the water met her head. She stuck her head above the water, slightly scared.
I'll have to swim from here...! she thought.
She took a deep breath, then dove underwater, flapping her legs frantically. Soon she became used to is and dashed along the bottom, searching intently for the forbidden leaf.
She didn't get very far before her lungs began to burn. She swam up to the top again and gulped in air. She also swallowed some water and began to panic. Taking another deep breath as she sunk, she quickly returned to the bottom and resumed her search.
She spotted something shiny reflecting in the sand. She swam over and squinted at it. Digging furiously, she removed the sand around it and recognized it as a skull! A human skull! What was a human skull doing in a lake?! (( which is actually a fish pond >>)) She looked through the eyehole and saw something. Flipping the skull over, she looked at the object and gasped. But instead water flowed into her open mouth, and she began to cough.
A beautiful leaf sat where the skull was. It was blood-red and glittered in the light.
Purekit was drowning. She had gulped in too much water. She frantically reached out and grabbed the leaf in her mouth, then tried to swim to the top, but something tugged at her pelt. She turned and saw that her hindfur was caught around the skull's teeth!
Frantically, she kicked, but soon began to lose energy. Muscles burning, air bubbles flew out of her nose and mouth as she screamed.
Slowly, her vision blurred, and she felt herself begin to slow down.
So this is it...? I'm going to die here, alone...without ever...succeeding...
She closed her eyes, giving a final kick.
I'm sorry, Forsaken...I tried to save you...]

Not even you...  Forsaken // Shadow Spirit // Cursed Demon // Bio
_____________________________________[Forsaken wandered alone in the darkness, it looked up to the stars as a hateful frown creeped across it's dark face.] "Why the clans adore you so much i will never understand, you never have helped answer their prayers before you just watch us suffer down here, dose it amuse you? [Forsaken chuckled to itself.] "Sounds like a paradise, a front row seat to hear all their pained cries. kekekekeek..." [It turned to retreat to the dark forest when it heard a little voice in its head... " I'm sorry Forsaken... I tried to save you..."] That voice... it sounds familiar... Of course, it's the voice of that stupid kitten. i can feel her life draining. about time! kekkekekek [Forsaken gleefully turned to leave but stopped. its chest started to beat and ach. Forsaken hadnt felt it's heart in forever! it cried out a horrible cry of pain! it tried to claw it's own heart out but realized that there was still nothing there, just the same old emptiness.] "Curse you kitten!!!! I cant decide which is worse! my curse or yours!!" [Tears of frustration streamed down its evil face. Forsaken looked around with panic and genuine concern on its dreadful face.] I... I must find her!! [In a rush Forsaken bolted toward the innocent soul beckoning it.] ------------------ [Forsaken's shadow creeped at the edge of the pond and melted into the water. it wrapped around her limp body and tried to drag her to the surface but she was stuck. Forsaken snarled and gave a strong tug ripping her out leaving a trail of blood in the water. Forsaken harshly dropped her on the cold, safe land and glared at her.] BREATH YOU IDIOT!! _____________________________________ ...can cure me of this curse.

❁Purekit
"I try to live true to myself, but...somehow, I'm living a lie."
═══════════════════════
[Purekit felt something tug at her back. It felt weird.
She felt herself move and something heavy lifted off of her.
There was a ringing in her head. She felt wet.
Where was she?
Her lungs felt heavy and filled with something. There was a strange stillness in her chest, something she'd never known.
My heart...it's barely beating...
Bump.......bump...........bump...............bump.
Slolwy, the pauses between her heartbeats became longer and longer. She realized she was dying.
If only I could breathe...but my lungs are filled with something....there's no...room...
Purekit's paw twitched. Her flank didn't move, didn't rise. She wasn't breathing.
Something warm pooled around her back. She twitched again, desperately trying to remember how to get the water out of her lungs and breathe.
In her mouth, the red leaf portruded. Her jaws clenched it tightly as she grimaced in pain and desparaton. A small drop of water dripped off of it and onto the ground as it twinkled in the moonlight.]

_____________________________________[Forsaken greedily stared at the pooling blood collecting on the ground. it started to shiver, its instincts kicking in.] ".... so...much...BLOOD." [Forsaken backed away and circled her hungrily, like a shark that had cornered it's pray. as it began to approach her it's heart began to throb! Forsaken hissed into a retreat as if she were venomous! it's rage began to boil.] She is still not breathing... [Reluctantly, it slithered over trying very hard to rezist the blood, began to push on her chest to pump the water out.] "How many times do i have to tell you to BREATH!?" _____________________________________ ...can cure me of this curse.

❁Purekit
"I try to live true to myself, but...somehow, I'm living a lie."
═══════════════════════
[Purekit felt something push on her. Her jaws parted, dropping the leaf. Reflexively, she gagged, and spat up waves of water.
Frantically, she gasped for air and began to cough. Finally, her coughing fit ended, and she lay panting on the ground.
Shaking, she slowly opened her eyes and blinked away the blurriness.
Forsaken stood over her, a strange look on his face. She sneezed, then looked up at him with big eyes.]
"F-Forsaken...you saved me!" she whispered, her throat sore and raspy.
[She felt something warm and stood on shaky legs. She realized her back end was covered in blood! She blinked, dismayed, and stood there, unsure of what to do next.
A sparkling drop of water on the leaf caught her attention.]
"O-oh, right..." she said. "I found the forsaken leaf! It was under a twoleg skull...and it was bloodred. It just had to be the forsaken leaf!"
[She looked up at Forsaken excitedly.]
"It'll break the curse!" she squeaked excitedly.
[She picked up the leaf and spat it at Forsaken. It gently wafted down to the ground in front of him.]
"Uh...and now, I, Purekit of NightClan, call upon the great forces that, uh...cursed the Forsaken One, and ask that they, with the offering of this forsaken leaf under the skull of the mysterious twolegs, release him from his bonds!"
[She paused, looking around. Nothing happened.]
"D...did it work?" she asked excitedly, seeming to have forgotten her near-death experience.

_____________________________________[Forsaken just stood there... glaring. it snorted.] "I did NOT save you... i... i saved myself..." [It looked down at the beautiful leaf that had been placed at it's paws.] My plan went perfectly.... she should be dead now... [Forsaken snarled loudly.] But Starclan HAD to go and mess everything up!! I could have SWORN i got rid of that damned heart along time ago! but it's still there... haunting me!!! Why is it starclan only acts when it will bring upon suffering!? [Forsaken's angry face began to mellow as it looked at Purekit's excited face.] ".... Purekit, you dont need to purge me... i am happy the way i am. no one can hurt me... now one can deceive me. no, i am the one doing the deceiving. Just go home." [Forsaken turned to leave, it's heart ached more than it had ever ached before, but Forsaken didnt care anymore...] _____________________________________ ...can cure me of this curse.

❁Purekit
"I try to live true to myself, but...somehow, I'm living a lie."
═══════════════════════
[Purekit snorted.]
"Spirits can't drown, silly, and neither can demons," she declared matter-of-factly.
Her eyes grew wide as she watched him leave and cried, "Wh-what? But...you should be free now! I did everything you told me! Well, I threw the speech in there in a whim, but...I mean, you should be free!"
[Her pelt bristled frustratedly. Hadn't she done everything he told her to...?
What if he tricked me?
No....it couldn't be!]
"I did...everything you told me to..." she repeated helplessly.
[Then she ran after him and ran ahead of him. She turned and slammed her paws down in front of her in a defiant stance.]
"NO!" she said angrily. "I don't believe you are really happy this way. Just because you think you'll stay this way forever doesn't mean you have to accept it! I know there's a way, I just know it! And...and I don't care if you trick me a hundred times, I'll keep trying to find a way! Because...because..."
[She trailed off. Why was she doing this, for a complete stranger demon who probably wanted to eat her?
She couldn't find an answer.]
"...because I really want to. I don't understand it yet, but...but it has to mean something! And when I decide to do something, I do it! And I will do it!"
[The tiny kit glared up at the looming shadow with defiant eyes. Blood still covered her backside, but she didn't care. She would shed all her blood if it meant freeing this soul.]
"I don't know why, but I know that this is what I want with all my heart and soul. I know I will try to free you like I know the sky is blue, and the grass is green, and that my mother loves me, and water is scary!"
[Doesn't it mean anything...anything at all? To him, to the people who cursed him...that this is how I feel?]

_____________________________________[Forsaken looked her in the eyes. it's face was different. there was no malice or blood lust or anger, it almost looked like sadness... almost.] "... i wasnt lying when i said i was just saving myself. Starclan could care less what you want! i really am happy. when i was a cat, i mean a normal cat like you, i was miserable. now that i am the way i am now my life has been filled with nothing but glee... nothing but glee. [Forsaken's infamous smile returned.] "kekekekke glee and blood... you arnt doing me any favors riding me of my curse. i will admitted that you are a special cat... never befor have i ever met someone like you. you are the only one i do not wish death on. Just go home." _____________________________________ ...can cure me of this curse.

"I try to live true to myself, but...somehow, I'm living a lie."
═══════════════════════
[Purekit flattened her ears.]
"Th...there are other people like me, too!" she said defensively. "If you just gave cats a chance, you'd find those people..."
[She blinked at him, something shining in her eyes.]
"I...I don't want to go home. Not yet....I can't bear the bloodshed. I don't want to be part of a Clan that mistreats other cats because they're weak, or seem weak. That's just brutality that leads to misery...for everyone involved..."
[She looked down at her paws.]
"I...I don't have a home..." she squeaked sadly.
Looking back up at him, she said, "That's why I can do this. I have nothing to lose."
[Nothing..nothing but mother. And waking up in the morning in the marshes, the cool wind ruffling my fur.
She did miss it. But it would all crumble away anyway, if a war started that is. She was going to lose that anyway, so in actuality, she would soon have nothing to lose.
Her small form began to shake. The water was cold, and the wind was cold, and she was freezing.]

_____________________________________[Forsaken turned and looked her.] Thats right, the war is going to start... [Forsaken looked at Purekit who stood infront of it shaking with sadness. under normal circumstances nothing else would pleas it more than a shaking, lost kitten but Forsaken didnt feel like its normal self today...] "Are you saying you are just going to leave? Where will you go? The wild will eat you alive and make you suffer, besides...... back home you have cats who love you. it would be a shame if you left that all behind. Leopardstorm was willing to fight a demon to protect you. She is probably worried sick about you being alone, especially with me wandering around!" [Forasken looked at her shaking form, the demon floated over to her and wrapped around her in a pitiful attempt to keep her warm but only made her colder.] "You should find Leopardstorm and return where you are safe." _____________________________________ ...can cure me of this curse.

"I try to live true to myself, but...somehow, I'm living a lie."
═══════════════════════
[Purekit began to shake harder as the demon came closer, for there was a strange cold air around him, but she felt a strange warmth come over her.
My insides feel all warm and fuzzy... she mused, then leaned in closer to the demon, despite the cold.]
"I don't want them to make me fight," she mewed dejectedly. "I just can't hurt anyone who's innocent..."
[She closed her eyes, wishing that the war would disappear. But she opened her eyes. Her ache to return to her Clanmates was too much. Too much...]
"Okay," she whispered with a sigh. "For now. Until I figure out what else I'm going to do with you."
[She began to pad forward reluctantly, not wanting to leave the demon's embrace but needing to return home.]
"See you soon, Forsaken," she said over her shoulder as she scuffled forward.
[Her legs were truly too stubby for her to walk like a normal cat anyway. She scuffled like a crab, and it embarrassed her. It was especially hard for her to get over the large clumps of grass, but she padded forward proudly despite the fact.
I'll figure out what to do, I promise, Forsaken! I'll go home for now...but I won't give up!]

[Purekit squeaked in surprise as the Forsaken One picked her up.]
"I-I'm sorry!" she stuttered, wiggling a bit. "I can't help being the runt!"
[She snorted and went limp, allowing herself to be carried.
Great StarClan, I'm so small... she realized, dismayed.
With a sigh, she began to nod off at the smooth swinging as the demon carried her.
I haven't been carried...in a while...but I guess that's cuz I'm not supposed to be a kit anymore...I sure look like I'm newborn though...ugh...
Still, her stubby legs were sore after all the walking she'd done. She hadn't stopped once, like the stubborn kit she was. It felt nice to finally take a rest.]

What is this wretched lust for?
The world is empty, pointless, obsolite without you, my love...
_____________________________
[Fathom chuckled as Forsaken disappeared. He grinned as blood dripped from his mouth.
I never do what I told, he scolded himself as he walked away, back towards the Clans.]
_____________________________
...without you, without you, without your BLOOD.
Oh StarClan, I'm so sorry...
