Blazekit pounced on top of a leaf. He was almost six moons old.
A dark shadow was upon him, and Blazekit looked up.
It was Hawkpaw,who was two moons older than him.
"Hey," she mewed."Can you get out of my way?"
Then she padded away.

Blazekit looked at her walk away, a sad expression on his
face." Stupid she-cats." he murmured, then bounced towards
the nursery.

Amberfur sat grooming herself. Blazekit padded over to her and
said, "I'm going to be an apprentice soon, isn't that wonderful?"
Amberfur kept cleaning her fur and nodded. Blazekit was the smartest
kit in the nursery, and knew 20 fighting and hunting moves, plus, could
solve some types of problems that other cats couldn't solve. But most
of the time, he made no sense.

Silverkit padded outside, swishing her long tail across the
ground. Her silver tabby coat shone bright in the sunlight,
making Blazekit stare. "Blazekit! Blaze!" His mother's voice
made him come back to the real world. "Huh?" he mewed, unaware
of what she had asked him while he was staring at Silverkit.
"You look like an owl, staring at Silverkit like that!" Blazekit
blushed, turning his head away to hide it from his mother. "Oh, really?"
he mewed, turning back. "I was just thinking about how Silverkit smells
like rabbit dirt, and how much I hate her."

Firestripe looked at Blazekit for a while, then said "Whatever!"
Blazekit was relieved, and padded outside keeping an eye out for
Silverkit. Her silver pelt was unseen, but then spotted a glint of
gray from the apprentices' den. He sighed as he saw Silverkit with
Lionpaw, giggling as he made faces. Then he sighed. Maybe he didn't
have a chance to speak to Silverkit.

Hawkpaw walked out of the medicine den as Raineyes shouted behind her,
"Don't forget the catmint!" Blazekit glanced at Hawkpaw's brown tabby fur,
and his gaze met her's. "Would you stop that? It kind-of looks like you
like me, and you can't have a medicine cat for a mate! Besides, I'm an
APPRENTICE, and you're a KIT!" Raineyes gave a nod to her, and she smiled
slyly.

Blazekit hated the way this had to be. First Silverkit. Then Hawkpaw.
He couldn't have both of them. But then there was Sparrowkit. She was kind
of funny, and he couldn't stop laughing every time she did something funny.
Her white fur with brown patches was beautiful, and he thought he could
actually be friends with her. Her eyes are yellow and wild and she's vicious,
but she's not evil.

Maybe Blazekit has a destiny after all...
