I tried so hard to make this alright

As the boy ranted on, Val's eyes narrowed steadily. The shock slipped off her face drip by drip, word by word, and was replaced by a strange sort of anger. It wasn't 'I want to fight you' anger or 'I'm telling Mommy' anger, but... Indignant, 'how dare you,' anger. She ground her teeth, for the first time in her life restraining herself before she does something really bad. She knew, somewhere deep down, she would care of Kassander was gone. It would make Mommy and Mama sad, sure, and it would weaken their family line, but it was more than that too. He was her brother, and even if that didn't mean anything to him, it meant something to her. So she stepped forward, calm and cold, and let her gaze bore into his eyes, bright and hard as chips of ice. "How would you know what we get away with, you're never around! You didn't see Mommy bowl me tail over ears yesterday and the day before that and the day before that too. You were off with Miss Elsa!" She didn't realize until now that maybe that made her a little bit sad. Kass was never with them. It seemed like, from the very beginning, he never had wanted to be. Did he even love them? Had he ever? She felt something well up in her eyes, something warm and wet and stingy. Furious, she dropped her face, allowed her paws to scrabble at the offending orbs. Her fur had puffed up with anger and sadness stronger than she could ever remember feeling. "You never want to talk to me? As if that changes anything, you never do anyways! You act so injured all the time, but you do it to yourself! You're just mean, that's all you ever are! We tease you? Gods above, you're our brother, whether you like it or not! I didn't ask to be heir, you know, I didn't choose it any more than you choose not to. And I tease everyone! But at least when I say mean things, I don't mean them, unlike you!" She took another step forward, sobbing openly now. Her tiny chest heaved with the hurt of it all. "You want to hate me, fine! I hate you too! But at least I can sleep easy know you deserve it!" She whirled away from the smaller boy and fled the den, tiny paws pounding against the earth. She couldn't go very far, seeing as her eyes had gone blurry. She stopped behind the first big boulder she found, stepping into it's shadow and letting her tears come out, not caring that Kass could probably hear her. It's not like he cares anyway...
