The Life of the Rejected
A.N. This story is about the life of a deformed villain named Bramblepelt. But never judge a book by its cover. You would be surprised if you knew the horrid life of Bramblepelt...
Chapter 1
My name is Bramblepelt. I'm the kit of Whiteash and Nightfur. I have a story to tell that most don't know and that's why they judge me too quickly as an evil, ruthless cat. But I do have reason for my malicious intent. Here, let me tell you a story…
I was born one cold newleaf and my parents were very worried about me. Whiteash had only given birth to one kit and the medicine cat thought I would be deformed and dead before the sun rose the next morning. So, they waited. But I didn't die. Instead, my legs lost feeling as if it was the cost for my life. I couldn't walk, run, or play with the other kits.
At first, the other kits had no idea I was different and neither did I, until I finally got out of my nest, away from warmth and comfort, and this is what coaxed my revenge to be let loose. When I fell out of that nest, stiff as a branch, they laughed and thought I was just playing with them. I said the most dreadful words of my life that one heartbeat.
I said I couldn't.
It chills me to this day as I think of the mean cackling of the biggest kits in the nursery, Larkkit and Dustkit. Then the other kits started to laugh at me, too, influenced by the older kits. My only friend was Crowkit, who was blind and laughed at as well. We lived our miserable life together, side by side.
Finally, the time came for us to become apprentices. This was only for Crowkit and me, because after all, the other kits were all older than us. So, now, we came forward Runningstar, the legendary leader of WindClan. Runningstar was very kind and fair and we came to be one of his closest friends before we were exiled.
Crowpaw and I were finally apprentices (I had learned to drag along after the other cats due to my disability and Crowpaw knew this camp as well as he knew how to breathe). But the next day, there came something so terrible it shocked our lives forever.
