Oceansplashes Backstory

Ocean was born on a rainy day along with her siblings, Feather, Rio, and River. Being born in in a system of caves, they were sheltered from the freezing rain.( 2 moons later) Ocean yowled as her sister Feather, tackled her with a playful growl. The two kits wrestled on the soft grass until Rain, their mother then pushed Ocean off Feather with a hiss," your going to hurt her! Good starclan, your like your father,so wreckless and careless!" Ocean's father had left soon after the kits were born, leaving their mother alone with four kits. Ocean's ears pinned back at her mothers coldness, then mewed" But... we were just playing mama..." Rain snorted in disgust, and rolled her eyes as she herded Feather back to the cave where Rio and River were sharing a large, plump squirrel that Rain had caught. Ocean scampered after her mother and her sister, only to be stopped by her mothers bushy tail. Ocean looked up in surprise as her mother glared at her, growling " You, you eat last, and if there isnt anything then you'll need to go hunt." Rio's ears twitched then he stopped eating, with a mew he glanced at Rain," Why cant she eat with us? She's our sister too." Rain's tail twitched at Rio, the she muttered to Ocean with a hard, cold glare," Go eat, tomorrow your hunting." Ocean nodded, then padded to sit beside Rio, then she leaned over hungrily chomping into the prey.( The next day) River, Rio, Feather, Ocean, And their mother Rain padded out the cave, the kits eagerly padding in front of their mother, except for Ocean. She knew her mother didn't like her, but why? What did she have to do with her father, why was she like him? Ocean then bounded past her mother, then slowing down to a amble beside her other sister River. River mewed happily at Ocean," Mama said we're learning how to hunt today!" Then River went down to a sympathetic whisper," But she said, you have to learn by yourself... Its okay though, i'll help you when we're done learning." Ocean looked at her sister, then let her head hang low as she mewed quietly," Of course, mama doesn't like me, so she wont teach me." River nudged her playfully mewing," It doesn't mean we don't like you." Ocean shrugged, then realized they were at their destination, the river. Rio bounced up and down, mewing happily," guys we're here! Mama's gonna teach us to hunt!" River and Feather nodded in agreement, as Rain mewed briskly to Ocean," Go, im going to teach them. We'll come back for you when im done teaching them." Ocean's ears, tail, and head drooped as she slowly ambled away. The river wasn't too fast right? Yeah, the current was barely noticeable! Ocean sat against the bank, her shadow cast against the sparkling water. A fish immediately swam away once her shadow cast against the clear water, hissing with frustration the kit pressed against the bank. Noticing there wasn't a shadow anymore she set her paw on the bank, waiting impatiently for a fish to come near her. The fish from earlier swam towards the bank, after what seemed a moon of waiting, the fish came closer till Ocean was able to reach it. She swiped her paw out, nearly catching the fish, but missing narrowly. WIP
