When I was first born into this world, I did not receive a welcome, not even a small smile. No, I got a snarl.

"What in Starclan's name is that?" a red tabby snarled, my mother, Redfur.

It wasn't my fault. How was it my fault something was wrong with me? I was a normal kit; I took after my father and had pitch black fur, but that, in the end, didn't help in the long run.

"It's a kit." That was Meadowleaf, the medicine cat for Thunderclan. She was one of the only cats that were ever nice to me; she was a beautiful silver tabby with warm green eyes and long whiskers.

"That is, in no way, shape, or form, a kit!" that was my father, Shadeheart. He has black fur and amber eyes, and in fact, has a shaded heart, clouded by evilness.

"How is it not a kit? It has ears, a tail, and legs to walk on." Meadowleaf meowed again, annoyance beginning to lace her every word.

"But its eyes! It has the eyes of a demon!"

That's the problem with me. My eyes. My stupid, dumb eyes. They were blood red, and in contrast with my fur, it actually made me look evil, though I was about the nicest she-cats you'll ever meet.

"I will not take care of a demon!" my mother and father announced in unison.

"Well then, if you are too mouse-brained and arrogant to take care of a kit with the slightest difference, then so be it. I will take care of her if you refuse to." Meadowleaf hissed.

Both my parents nodded happily, for they did not know I was awake at the time and watching all of it. Meadowleaf nodded calmly, though you could see her long fur was fluffed up in anger. I quickly closed my eyes and felt myself being picked up from the warm safeness of my fellow wriggling siblings. I let out a mewl of protest as a warm of cold air met me as Meadowleaf walked outside of the nursery and into the medicine cat den. I opened my eyes slightly to see the Thunderclan camp. I had no idea it was so huge! Meadowleaf and I earned a lot of confused stares from other cats, but she dismissed them and padded into the medicine den. It felt very comforting, the medicine den. Meadowleaf set me down in a nest of moss, and gave a quick affectionate lick to my ear.

"Now, dear kit, it seems you have not had a proper welcome. Welcome to Thunderclan, Rubykit." Meadowleaf purred.

It was the happiest moment of my life.
