The Cat with Strange Eyes

Dreamwhisper padded back from the Gathering, her pelt buzzing with excitement. She had been named as a warrior by her leader Mudstar. She smiled as she walked to the front of the RiverClan entrance to keep vigil.

She closed her mouth and kept quiet. Suddenly a kit bounded up to her. "Hey!" The kit squeaked. "You're the weird cat with the violet eyes!" Dreamwhisper froze. "Yeah I know you! My momma Poolfire told me about you! You have really freaky eyes."

Dreamwhisper felt her heart break. It had taken her moons for her old denmates to stop taunting her about her eyes.

"You have ugly eyes Dreampaw!" Her denmate Firepaw taunted. "Yeah!" Another cat chimed in. They all laughed at her. "Violet eyes violet eyes!" Dreampaw couldn't take it. Firepaw kept taunting her.

"That's why your mother went missing! She couldn't bear to have an ugly daughter with such strange eyes! You're so weird and creepy!"

Dreampaw began crying. Was it true? Had her mother abandoned her because of her eyes? Was it really true?

"You're such a wimp! You cry at everything! Wimp!" Another cat yowled out, "Dreampaw is such a wimp!"

Dreamwhisper shook herself out of her memories. The kit was still talking to her. "Your eyes are so freaky! How did they get like that?" Dreamwhisper had to keep her tears in from crying. Even a kit was taunting her? StarClan messed up her world by giving her abnormal eyes.

Suddenly the kit said something strange, stranger than the taunting. "I want to be like you!" The kit squeaked. Dreamwhisper turned to stare at her. "It's true!" The she-kit exclaimed. "You have freaky eyes that are really cool! I want eyes like you!" Dreamwhisper felt her world finally come together.

The little she-kit kept going. "Your eyes are seriously cool. I want those eyes instead of my boring old yellow eyes. Those are awesome!" Dreamwhisper smiled. She wanted this kit for her apprentice one day.

"Iciclekit!" A voice yowled. "Come inside for the night!" Iciclekit turned around and frowned. "But momma! I'm talking to an awesome warrior!" Dreamwhisper glanced around the clearing and saw that a couple of cats were watching her.

Her old denmate Fireclaw was staring at her in shock. Dreamwhisper smirked and turned back, her tail wrapped over her paws. She heard a pattering of paws and Dreamwhisper whirled around. Her leader Mudstar was smiling at her. "Well this kit here seems adventurous. Dreamwhisper, how would you like to mentor young Iciclekit here?"

Iciclekit gasped and stared at Dreamwhisper. "Please say yes! I really wanted you as my mentor!" Dreamwhisper purred and nodded. Iciclekit let out a squeal and ran towards the nursery. Dreamwhisper could hear Iciclekit boasting inside. "I got Dreamwhisper as a mentor when I'm an apprentice! She's the really pretty gray she-cat with the silver spots and violet eyes!"

She could hear kits gasp. "Violet eyes?" "Is that true?" "I want to meet her now!" Suddenly a tumble of kits ran out into the moonlight. "Is that her?" Iciclekit nodded and the kits ran to her. "Whoa she really does have violet eyes!" "That's awesome!" "Lucky Iciclekit! She got the pretty she-cat for her mentor!"

Mudstar purred. "That's Dreamwhisper, now one of my best warriors." Dreamwhisper's violet eyes went wide at the comment. "She's sitting vigil from her warrior ceremony." The kits oohed and ahhed at Dreamwhisper.

A little kit padded up to her. "Momma says your one of the best hunters for the clan. Is that true?" Dreamwhisper glanced at Mudstar, who nodded to her. Dreamwhisper nodded and the kits squealed with delight.

The same she-kit continued. "Momma also said you caught one of the heaviest fish on your first apprentice day. Is that also true?" Dreamwhisper smiled at the memory.

Dreampaw was so excited to finally go fishing. She wanted to catch the biggest fish there was. Firepaw padded besides her. "I'm going to catch the biggest fish!" He boasted. "Then we have some competition here, eh Firepaw?" Dreampaw shot back. Firepaw rolled his eyes.

Dreampaw padded to the river. She waited for a while until Firepaw shoved her in. With a yelp, the gray she-cat went under. She thrashed around in the water until she saw a shiny flash. Reaching forward, she caught the fish in her jaws.

With a grunt, the she-cat padded out of the river and shook her pelt, water droplets spraying Firepaw. Glancing at the ginger apprentice, she snickered when she saw Firepaw's jaw hanging open. Mudstar padded forward. "Oh my StarClan Dreampaw, that is the biggest fish I have ever seen so far in my life.

Dreampaw blushed. "It was nothing." She mumbled around the fish. Mudstar purred. "We'll have a celebration for you." He said, his brown pelt gleaming in the sunlight. Dreampaw's eyes went wide with delight.

"And you get first bit of the fish." Mudstar said starting to laugh. Dreampaw started to laugh also.

Dreamwhisper once again had to shake herself out of the memory. She nodded again and one of the kits pretended to faint out of shock. She laughed, and her laughter echoed through the air, sending cats smiling at Dreamwhisper and the kits.

Mudstar glanced at the sky. "Your vigil is almost over." He mused. "You can start talking now." Dreamwhisper smiled gratefully and stretched. She also yawned and smiled at the kits. "Well all that is true. I did catch that fish and I did catch a lot of fish in Leafbare on the coldest day we have ever had.

Iciclekit grinned. "I'm going to be the second best hunter after Dreamwhisper." She boasted. "I heard Mudstar himself was Dreamwhisper's mentor." "Yeah he was." Another kit whispered back. She laughed again sending the kits smiling.

And when the kits finally walked back to the nursery to sleep, Dreamwhisper was sure that when she had laughed, Fireclaw at the corner of her eye smiled at her and grinned.

A/N: Well that was fun! Most of these are my characters, example Iciclekit-A.K.A Iciclepelt- and Dreamwhisper! I hope to start writing the 2nd one, I dunno when I have time. This was barely over 1,000 words XD. It sure was fun writing it! And if you didn't know already, Dreamwhisper had violet eyes. Different, eh?
