— SPARKKIT
There is something special about love. Something that gives it the ability to nurture and nourish, to cure the weak and wounded, to heal the sick and spread that warm, cozy feeling. Something about it that no other thing possesses, something more valuable than gold but something that no thief would ever seek.
Sometimes, one needs to let go of love, to release a loved one or break a connection. But love is persistent. You kick it out the back door, it runs to the front and rings the bell. You don't answer it, it marches in through the doggy door or the vents or the crack on the side of the skylight in your sister's bathroom. Sometimes, you can never truly get rid of love.
Sparkkit had tried. She was delighted to have been found by StormClan; they were so kind to her, so sweet, so gentle. They treated her like a princess, gave her everything she ever wanted and more.
But she missed her family. Sure, they were poor and unstable, but they had loved her too. They'd relied on her to help them get through difficult times, and in turn, they helped her.
Laying on the bank of a river, she stared at her reflection, her gaze blurred with forming tears. Where was her family? Were they looking for her? Did they think that she was dead?
Did they still love her?
