Silent As A Feather
Chapter 1: Deafness Isn't My Thing
Yay! I finally posted my life story, SAAF! It's a bit boring at first, but it will pick up, I promise!
Featherkit's POV
"I'm sorry Redfur, but Featherkit is deaf." Smallfern announced to whole the clan. It sucked. How could she say I was deaf, I could hear just fine! I just don't want to listen to some dumb old medicine cat that thinks she knows everything. Who would?
I walked over to my sister, Fernkit, and rubbed my cheek on her soft chest fur.
"It's ok, Featherkit. I know your not deaf." she whispered sweetly into my ear. I closed my eyes and let out a silent purr.
"Come on, let's go play!" Fernkit ran off and I followed close behind. I could feel sympathetic eyes on my back and I turned around and glared at Smallfern. I hated her. At that moment, I was glad I was mute, otherwise I would have said some bad things to her and the clan would think pretty badly of that.
We found a moss ball and batted that back and forth. Blackfur padded up and showed us a hunting technique for stalking rabbits. I tried my best to get it right, but I stumbled and fell on Fernkit. She giggled and I laughed in my head. She understood me through our thoughts and it was pretty awesome. She was the only cat in the clan to understand me.
Shadowpaw showed up after his hunting patrol so we played with him. Shadowpaw was different from the others. He saw threw my eyes. He could feel what I felt. Fernkit's squeak interrupted my thoughts.
"Take that, Shadowclan intruder!" Shadoepaw had pinned her down and she yowled for my help. I crouched down and sprang onto his back and bit down gently. He spat in surprise and released Fernkit, who ran around and nipped at his tail.
"Okay, okay, I surrender!" He said fell on his side. I didn't let go though. I lay there with my teeth in his pelt until he shook me off. I landed with a thud on the ground. It didn't hurt though. But obviously, it did to Redfur.
"Shadowpaw, be careful with her! You might hurt her. She can't hear you when you say you'll surrender!" She ran over to me and licked me all over.
"She's okay," Shadowpaw said and flicked my ear with his tail tip, "You fuss over her too much. She is just like any other kit."
"No she isn't! She's deaf! She can't hear! You have to be more careful with her!" Redfur hissed, curling her tail around me.
"But mother, she's not hurt. She can hear perfectly fine." Fernkit said and licked my nose.
"No Fernkit, she can't. Smallfern said she was deaf. I'm sorry." She said kindly to my dear sister.
I can't really explain what happened next. My head felt fuzzy and all of the hatred for Smallfern built up inside of me. She was coming up to us to settle the argument, I could tell. Our eyes met, and she collapsed. She writhed in pain on the ground and gasped for breath. Cats gathered around to try to see what was happening, and then she stopped. My head was empty of hatred right then.
Smallfern was barely breathing, and we didn't have another medicine cat. I felt dizzy; then I started to fall and everything went black.
Did you enjoy it??? I hope you did! I wont continue for a really long time (for about a moon or 2) if I don't get at least one review! SO, review and tell me what you think!!!!!
-Hugs,
