Following My Path

(Blur)

That morning was one that everyone had been expecting for awhile, Lightningkit smelled his mother's warm milk and moved closer to her belly to drink, realizing that his stomach ached of hunger. He could feel his brother's warm fur next to him.

A shreak of joy, erupted from his mother, Silenttree. "Get Saltstar, Lightningkit is opening his eyes" His mother's sweet voice erupted in Lightningkit's small ears. He heard a shuffling and scented the presence of two or three new cats in the nursery.

Excitment filled through Lightningkit as he softly tried to lift his grey eye lids. At first sight, the world seemed to be a blur but slowly everything came into focus. He looked around and saw the beautiful silver pelt of Silenttree. As he looked down at himself, he realized just how similar him and his mother looked. He caught sight of a white paw and followed it up to see the large shape of Saltstar.

His large figure intimidated Lightningkit, but Lightningkit refused to show fear towards this mighty warrior. He look up at the white tom and saw that his face had black freckles. Saltstar's large green eyes were filled with pride that made Lightningkit assume this cat must be his father.

Lightningkit looked around at his denmates, noticing how they all were about his age. He saw the grey pelt of Whitekit next to him. He looked alot like Silentree as well. He heard the familier voice of Hailstorm came from behind.

He spun around too fast for his small legs and landed with a light thud at her feet. He heard the laughter of Wolfkit. He met the tom's eyes, and laughed with him, but the added laughter of other cats made him change the direction of his gaze.

He saw a small group of about five cats his age. As he looked them over, his eyes fixed themselves in the only female in the group. Her pale golden coat, and her heart melting blue eyes. She looked right back as though taking in his appearence as well.

When the grey tail of Wolfkit flicked in front of his eyeline, did he finally break his stare. "Them over their, they opened their eyes a little bit early so they have been waiting for us to open ours."

Lightningkit glanced back over at the group of kits and began to trot towards them. "Hi, I'm Ligh-"

"We already know" The one to speak was a green-eyed dark grey tom.

"Hey it's not his fault that he opened his eyes a little late, you'll have to excuse Dawnkit, he isn't all that bad."

Lightningkit didn't even care about what Dawnkit had said, he was too busy trying to figure the golden she-cat out. "What's your name?" he said nodding in the direction of her.

She giggled and he felt a wierd feeling in his chest. "My name is Flowerkit, I am Dreamfur's kit."

Looking behind her, he saw the calico pelt of Dreamfur. He acknowledged her presence with a slight nod.

"Hi, Lightningkit, I'm Lightkit, and this is my brother Aspenkit. We are Sunclaw's suns." He nodded curtly and began to walk towards his brother. Realizing that he was a short distance behind him.

"Tomorrow, your mother's have all decided that you all can tour the clearing together and meet some of the Warriors." The deep voice of Saltstar sounded through the nursery.

"As you may or may not already know, I am Saltstar, the leader of ThunderClan, this is my deputy, Robinchest" he said flicking his tail in the direction of a calico she-cat who had layed herself down next to Dreamfur. Their two pelts merged and it was hard to tell one from the other.

It was hard for Lightningkit to sleep, his head hurt from all of the new things he had learned, such as colors and new faces. He soon fell into a deep sleep, full of dreams that he didn't remember when he woke up.

"Come here and let me groom your fur." The agitated voice of Hailfire called out, turning around Lightningkit saw that Wolfkit, Dawnkit, and Aspenkit were locked in a small fight.

Flowerkit cuffed Wolfkit by the ear and whispered something to him, curiosity prickled at Lightningkit's fur but he didn't show his interest.

Shortly after, Wolfkit dragged Dawnkit to his mother by the scruff of his neck.

"Excited?" She soft purr of Flowerkit sounded from behind Lightningkit. He jumped, for he didn't hear her sneak up.

"Yea, I hope it is as great as I expect it to be."

"I think everyone does" She said, her eyes filled with interest.

Lightningkit didnt know how to reply to her, and just stood there looking at her, as she repeated the gesture.

"Come on you little badgers, its time." The soft voice of Robinchest sounded through the nursery wall.

The four kits made their way through the bramble wall, closely followed by Dreamfur, Hailstorm, Silenttree, and Sunclaw. Robinchest met them at the enterance.

Lightningkit was surprised at how large it was. The ground felt almost smooth beneath his tiny paws. He saw many cats, they were everywhere, they were sitting, eating, laying down, grooming each other. It was amazing and it felt like home, it felt perfect.
