[Closed][Stormeh] Why did you?

[Redwhisker]

A orange she-cat stretched as she walked out of the warriors den. The last three nights she had been having nightmare's about what eaglescreech did to her. She looked at her stomach and then at her paws. Redwhisker knew she was having his kits. Why couldn't he just ask her to sleep with her.
Now she was afraid of him.

Everytime she saw him in camp, she go out of camp and sit by a tree. That is how she was avoiding him but she was going through with being a mother. Ever since she became a warrior she wanted to be a mother, but she didn't know why. She looked up to see that he was standing in front of her.

Fear grew in her eyes, was he going to do it again? she thought. She turned to head for the entrance, but found that her paws didn't move.

<sup>Eaglescreech watched silently as Redwhisker groomed herself at the edge of camp. His face showed no expression at all. He thought back to when he forced her into mating with him, where usually, he'd laugh or smile at the thought, but now, he did nothing. He had watched her talk to other cats in camp the past three days, and noticed how kind and friendly she was. He had wondered how she covered it up so easily, and why she didn't tell Blizzardstar about what he did to her. Seeing her bravery made Ealgescreech even a bit guilty, which was a first.

Sighing, the brown bicolor tabby tom rose to his paws from where he was sitting and padded across camp, toward Redwhisker. He didn't know why, but he felt like she deserved an apology. Eaglescreech had never, ever done this before, but it just felt like he needed to do it. He stared down at her blankly with his green eyes. "Look, Redwhisker, before you attack me, I've just came here to apoligize," he meowed calmly, as if what he did to her was as harmful as a kit.

Eaglescreech had never stopped to think about what the she-cats he mated with thought of him. Most likely disgusting, perverted, ambitious, and dishonorable. It made him frown inwardly. He was none of those things... well, maybe, but he didn't like to be that way. He never knew why he felt such a strong urge for other, attracting she-cats, he just did. Now, however, for the first time ever, he felt like he needed to make right of what he did wrong.</sup>

[Redwhisker]

When eaglescreech was in front of her, she held her paw up a little bit, ready to hit him like she had done last time. Then she herd what he had said and her face was expressionless. She didn't know what to say, she knew that he never did apologize in his who life. I really have to see what he has to say but first she thought. Well do I deserve to hit you? I think I do cause now, look at what you did to me! she said with tears starting How many other females did you force? Hmm? Or am I the only one who you did it to? She said getting everything out. Taking a breath she tried to calm down but she knew he was going to make it worse.

[♦ stormeh ♦]

<sup>Eaglescreech flinched at Redwhisker's words, actually stung by them. He frowned, and was beginning to show a bit of anxiety in his eyes, but he knew that he would look weak. Forcing himself to keep a cool attitude, he swallowed when he noticed tears forming in the she-cat's eyes.

At her question, Eaglescreech almost snorted. More than enough, he thought, then realizing how sick that would've sounded if he said it out loud. He sighed and looked Redwhisker in the eye, sitting down in front of her. "I think we both know the answer to that," he meowed, expressionless. "But you're not getting my point, Redwhisker. I'm apoligizing to you. I never do that to anyone. Ever. I'm sorry for what I did, and... I'm going to try to be a good father to your - no, our kits when and if they're born," he meowed, trying to show her that he was actually being sincere.

He hadn't really thought when he said he'd offer to be a good father, but he realized that he had to grow up sooner or later and start acting like a tom with an expecting mate (in this cas, though, Redwhisker was not his mate, of course). He also wanted to see what it was like to be a father, and how it felt to have a mate and a family. But Redwhisker was his mate; nor would he ever get one in the future. Eaglescreech had ruined that for himself.</sup>

[Redwhisker]

The she-cat looked at him Apologize? Now that had taken her by surprise. She had listen closely to what he said about being a father. He actually wants to be a father? Redwhisker was shocked and her eyes went big. You really want to take care of the kits with me? She asked him. Then she thought about it Will he be truthful and responsible to Me and the kits? She thought. If they're born? What do you mean by that? That their going to be dead or something? She hissed. Then she looked at her paws. Im sorry, it's just been a long couple of days she said with a sigh.

[♦ stormeh ♦]

<sup>Eaglescreech nodded slowly, a hint of guilt actually showing in his green eyes. He twitched his whiskers when she reffered to their kits as "the kits". He at least would've wanted her t include him into her new family, but he knew that he didn't deserve something like that, after doing something so terrible to Redwhisker.

He narrowed his eyes in annoyance when Redwhisker starting fretting that their kits would die, and he rolled his eyes impatiently. "Think, Redwhisker! We've - I've," Eaglescreech corrected himself. "only mated with you once. I would've had had mated with you a couple more times to increase the chance of geting you pregnant. You might not even have kits," he snapped, the fur along his spine rising in hostility.

He relaxed when she apoligized to him, and he wondered for a heartbeat how she was able to resist clawing his fur off. He noticed that she was upset, mostly because of him, and he awkwardly brushed his tail-tip on her shoulder, in a pathetic attempt to comfort her. "Uh, I really do want to try and be a father to our kits, Redwhisker..." he muttered quietly, looking up from his paws and locking eyes with the ginger tabby she-cat. He was going to add that he'd never mate with any other she-cat again, but actually, he thought about doing it anyway. Redwhisker might not even have his kits anyway.

Still, deep down, he suddenly felt revolted by the thought of forcing another she-cat into a painful and frightening experience. Maybe he felt this way because Redwhisker was the only she-cat so far to not give him away to their leader, and to act like nothing happened. Her bravery made him feel worthless.</sup>

[Redwhisker]

This is your only chance to get him. she thought. She looked up at him and smiled. This could work out, I know it can. Anyways I would need help with the kits. Plus they would need a father. I seen kits with out father and it just devastates me. So yes, I will. she thought to herself. She looked into his eyes Unless he cheats her final thought was. We could work this out for our kits she said.

[♦ stormeh ♦]

<sup>Eaglescreech held his breath while Redwhisker appeared to be thinking carefully about his offer, and he released it into a relieved sigh when she answered him. "Thanks, Redwhisker..." he meowed quietly, leaning forward and gently rasping his tongue across her ear as if apoligizing again. Besides, he'd need to be treating her more gently now that she was expecting.

Eaglescreech looked at Redwhisker, wondering if she trully believed him. He wasn't decieving her this time, like he did with Honeypetal. But he was much younger back then, not knowing what he was getting himself into. It wasn't his fault that she fell in love with him... he was only looking for some fun. But maybe he was being too cruel to her.</sup>

[Redwhisker]

Redwhisker closed her eyes as he licked her ear and then she returned one to him. So what do you want to do? Take a walk, go hunting? Do something? She asked. Cause staying in camp is boring and there is nothing to do she said.

Looking around she saw a butterfly and tried to catch it but failed. She sighed and looked at eaglescreech. Howcome i never knew he was handsome? she asked herself. Wait, it's because i never really looked at him. she thought with a smile.

[♦ stormeh ♦]

<sup>Eaglescreech said nothing for a moment, and watched in amusement as Redwhisker attempted to catch a butterfly that fluttered near them. He found himself smiling at the sight, somehow relaxed by her easygoing personality. Focusing on reality once again, he shrugged. "If you're that bored, we could go hunting," he suggested lamely.

Eaglescreech realized that now that he wasn't going to be padding after countless she-cats anymore, (which he was still deciding) he really had nothing to do. Now he would hunt more often, and go on patrols, and just about everything else. It all seemed like everything got so much harder, and for a moment, he wished to go back to his spontaneous life. But he couldn't. He made a promise, and he would at least try to keep it this time.</sup>

[Redwhisker]

The red orange she-cat smiled at his answer. But there was still one question on her mind. Should I ask him or no? she thought to herself. Then looking at him she decided since they were talking and stuff. She took a breath The only thing is what I am confused about is, why did you do it? she asked.

There now she got it out and it was off her mind. As she waited for the answer she looked around to see that the queens were looking at them and gossiping. She flattened her ears and then looked at Eaglescreech.

[♦ stormeh ♦]

<sup>Eaglescreech rose to his paws, shaking his fur. He wasn't surprised by Redwhisker's question, actually, not at all. Of course she would want to know why he impregnated her against her will. He sighed, silent for a long time. In the meanwhile, he glanced around and noticed a new queens whispering to each other, shooting them scornful glares. He pulled his lips back in a snarl and took a few steps toward Redwhisker, his flank brushing against hers as if showing the gossiping queens that he wasn't trying to do anything bad this time. Their eyes widened in surprise and exchanged glances, before whispering again and disappearing into the nursery.

Turning back to Redwhisker, he still didn't have a good answer to her question. "I'm a tom, Redwshiker. I just.. I just get these desires sometimes, for pretty she-cats like you. It isn't something you'd be able to understand," he finally explained after a few moments. It wasn't the best explanation in the world, but it would have to do.</sup>

[Redwhisker]

Redwhiskered sighed. She knew what he ment. Taking a couple steps towards the enternce so that no one would hear her she started.I know what you mean. You remember that kit I had that died from the illness? The father wasn't in the camp or anywhere. Well that's because he was riverclan. After He and My kit died, I became Isolated from everyone. I was so depressed and never wanted to do anything, but he told me is that is all he wanted was the females. I was shocked when he told me. Then of course he died in a Thunderclan battle over sunning rocks. She finished with a sigh.

[♦ stormeh ♦]

<sup>Eaglescreech listened in sympathy for Redwhisker as she explained her past to him, eyes widening in shock. He never knew that she had had kits before. Maybe because you were too busy with Honeypetal, a voice suggested in his mind. He winced inwardly. Had Honeypetal have kits as well? The thought made him uncomfortable. Would they die? Would he then die in battle, and leave Honeypetal forever alone?

He didn't love her, but for some reason, he felt guilty. But maybe she hadn't had kits, and she had a perfect mate now. He could've been her mate, but he knew that she didn't deserve someone like him. Eaglescreech sighed, almost losing himself in his thoughts while Redwhisker went on. "Well... yeah. Toms just do that," he finally answered, staring down at his paws awkwardly. "So... shall we hunt?" he asked after a few moments, looking up at Redwhisker.</sup>

[Redwhisker]

She looked at Eaglescreech and nodded when he changed the subject. Her stomach rumbled and she looked down at it. Then she looked back at eaglescreech. I'm just glad to have you now She said with a purr. I hope he doesn't go off on another female spree she thought. Then she found herself rubbing against him.
