Story of cat with valor heart
No one told him directly that only purpose of him in the clan, was dying. There was no place to him in clan. He was weak kit and was almost died at start of his life. All cats believed that this little brown striped kit never see new day. But maybe displeasure to all, he was fought himself to see new morning and all mornings after that. Even then his purpose was die away.
There was four kit. All of then are males and brown striped semi long hair with golden eyes. Other three kits are stronger and bigger than Valorkit. They are healthier than he.
First Frosteye, brown striped cat with very light eyes, Valorkit's mother, wanted to believe in the possibility of fourth kit survival, but clan's territory become cold area with scarce prey. There was no enough food for the whole clan and soon the hope for possibility of fourth kit to grow up and live side by side of the clan, was gone to also his mother. No one still talked about it aloud neither take away that hopeful name from kit.
Valorkit spent his childhood as any other normal kits: playing and exploring things. He was dreaming about be a warrior in someday. He didn't wonder why other clan's cats avoided him. After all, he has his mother Frosteye and his brothers: Redkit, Firmkit and Sparrowkit. He believed that when he will become bigger, they will notice him.
Valorkit looked when his brothers played outside of den. It was blazing play. His brothers were like warriors. Valorkit wanted to join them. He felt fine so he started to walk silently towards his brothers. They didn't notice him. Finally he jumped back of Sparrowkit.
Sparrowkit was smaller than Redkit and Firmkit, but he is still bigger than Valorkit. Kit was always moving like little bird. Redkit was biggest kit in the litter. His fur was reddish. Firmkit was maybe strongest and self-assured. He also was most conservative for Valorkit.
Sparrowkit meowed question and fell when Valorkit hit him. He pounced up and pushed Valorkit to ground in his turn. They started to play together, but then Redkit stopped their play. Reddish kit leapt on the small rock and puffed his chest.
"When I grow up, I become great warrior. Our clan will be proud of me. I maybe become leader." Redkit announced.
"Yeah, I don't think so. I maybe better choice to leader. Because I am smarter" Firmkit said and pounced to Redkit off the rock. Firmkit turned around and looked to Sparrowkit and Valorkit.
"My great warriors, I have important task to you." Firmkit meowed.
"I am not sure… about to be warrior. Could I be healer?" Sparrowkit said and his tail twitched.
"Don't you think all, what you will come to see and feel, when you are warrior. It will be exciting." Firmkit lured. Sparrowkit raised his ears and they twitched cause on curiously.
"You are right. I might get a exciting tasks, I would defend weak cats… "Sparrowkit thought and soon he listed every experience to reach and this enthusiasm him even more. That was what he was. Changed his mind very quickly, especially if Firmkit urged. Redkit tried to catch Firmkit's tail, but Firmkit looked now only Valorkit.
"And you?"
"Of course I will become warrior." Valorkit meowed.
In the same time he saw his mother, who had come to sit outside of the den, near of her kits. He noticed the eyes of strange look. Frosteye looked straight at him. He didn't recognized the face, but it made him feel cold and confused him somehow. Frosteye whizzed in to the den.
Valorkit didn't have time to think those strange look in his mother's face, because Firmkit attacked him.
"It is ambush, my warriors." Firmkit growled playful and the play started again. Valorkit lost a play fight. He was weakest of the group, but he didn't upset. That was one of last time when he could play with his brother innocently.
Prey got wane even more in the terrority. Clan planned to leave the place and go somewhere else where was food. Kits ignored it. They grew up and strengthened as they approach the age of the apprentice. They waited eagerly, that they get they apprentice name and mentors.
That day Valorkit waked up late. All other kits and queens are outside of the den to be distributed the prey. Valorkit scrambled to outside and looked for his brothers. He noticed that there was only few prey. So much less than used to be. He found his brothers and luckily they have whole hare to eat. Valorkit left to pad to them to prey-sharing. He was sure, that his brothers will give him some of prey.
"Good morning, my brothers. I may slept quite late. Fortunately, I woke up before all food had been eaten." Valorkit greeted his brothers and stepped closer. He was just about to take part of prey when something hit him hard to neck. Valorkit fell on the ground and when he recovered from hit, he noticed that attacker was Firmkit. Firmkit had always been on his side.
"You are grew so strong, Firmkit. Could I eat first? I am so hungry" Valorkit meowed. He assumed that Firmkit to wanted to just play. But when he looked eyes of Firmkit, he realized that something was not right.
"I don't play, runt ." Firmkit growled angry.
"Why you are so angry?" Valorkit asked carefully and looked at the other two of his brothers to hoped they will help him. Now he was so afraid more. Redkit and Sparrowkit looked at back and their eyes were as cold and angry as Firmkit's. They all seemed to ready to fight with him.
"Am I spited you somehow? I am sorry. Can we reconcile?" Valorkit meowed silently. He was hungry and couldn't understand this situation.
"There is no nothing what we can reconcile." Firmkit said.
"Can I have piece of prey, please?" Valorkit asked. Next attach hit him from left side. It was Redkit.
"Go away! Search your own food!" Redkit hissed.
Valorkit stood up on his feet and looked his brother trying to understand. Sparrowkit attacked next. Brother, who was swore to protect weak cats. Finally all of his brothers started attacking to him and they chased him away.
Valorkit hid in thorn bushes. From there, his bothers couldn't catch him and they returned to prey. There Valorkit stayed whole day.
When the sun set he carefully sneaked to outside of bushes. Other kits and queens are in the den, but Frosteye sitting outside of the den. Valorkit padded to her.
"Mom… Does my brothers hate me? What I have done?" Valorkit asked silently.
"I think they are just nervous. Your time of apprentice approaching soon." Frosteye said.
"I am nervous, too. But I will be good apprentice. I will be good warrior, too. And I will definitely protect our clan. I will do my best." Valorkit meowed. Suddenly he noticed same strange look in her mother's eyes like before.
"What is it?" Valorkit asked.
"My beloved Valorkit… Yes, your brothers love you still. Don't be afraid. All will be fine." Frosteye said and stooped down to lick he's fur. Finally Valorkit fell sleep between his mother's legs.
Next days Valorkit avoided his brothers. If happen that they met, his brothers chased him away. Then finally came day when Blackstar, leader of the MountainClan, congregated all cats in the clan to give new apprentices to names and mentors.
Valorkit must to faced his brothers, but they didn't even notice he was there. They are too exited and nervous. Valorkit was relieved. He sitting his spot and waited.
"Finally, this is it. This is my first step to way of warrior. My clan will notice me and they will be proud of me, too." Valorkit thought,
Balckstar stood on the large stone and looked all of kits. Redkit was first, who stepped front of stone.
"Redkit, From the this day to day you will get your warrior name, your name is Redpaw. Your mentor is Hawkmind." Blackstar said loudly. Mentor and his apprentice met and touched each other's nose while other cats cheering and congratulations. Then was Firmkit turn.
"Firmkit, From the this day to day you will get your warrior name, your name is Firmpaw. Your mentor is Greathunter." And seremony continue.
"Sparrowkit, From the this day to day you will get your warrior name, your name is Sparrowpaw. Your …."
Valorkit no longer listened to. He eagerly waited his turn. Who will be his mentor? All cats congratulated Sparrowpaw.
"Now." Valorkit thought.
Blackstar looked him, but didn't said anything. all around was quiet. All the cats looked to him, not his mother. He didn't even notice them. He looked desperately for a intense to Blackstar.
"Name me. Give me my apprentice name… now, please… please." Valorkit thought desperately, but deep in his heart he already know.
Blackstar turned his eye away from Valorkit and so all hope died. Leader looked clan cats.
"Tomorrow morning we leave this place. There is no food for clan. So we have to find new place to live." Blackstar said and then he go away. Cats scattered, each different route. No one cared about Valorkit, small kit, who squatted still silently front of large stone. He was nobody, so why someone have to notice he.
There Valorkit stayed to far in to night until coldness chased him to seek shelter from near of the den, in thorn bushes. He fell asleep and there he was invisible all cats in the world.
Morning dawned freeze and cats began to move. Valorkit stayed in thorn bushes. He woke up to hear Frosteye's soft steps near. Awhile he hoped that his mother come to pick him up, but then he realized that his mother walking with someone outside of the den.
"It is maybe better if you kill it. It will never be more than miserable cat, who is only harm for our clan. It's not going to survive anyway. It would eat valuable prey and even then would die." Valorkit heard Blackstar silent voice. It is very clear, who is that cat. Valorkit tried to hear that his mother answer, but Frosteye was quiet long time.
"You are right, Blackstar. He had never chance to keep his life." Frosteye said finally. Valorkit couldn't believe his ears.
"Search for it and then do what is best for him and for the clan. Follow us then." Blackstar said and went off. Valorkit waited that happen next. He was afraid. He would die. His own mother would come and kill him.
Valorkit heard how cats, one by one, went away. Frosteye sitting still. When all voices of the clan are gone, Frosteye moved off. Her steps stopped front of thorn bushes.
"Valorkit, come here." Frosteye said gently. Valorkit tried to think what to do. He could runaway and avoid the death. He didn't want to die yet. On the other hand, no one needed him. There was no place to him live, so it is maybe same if he die now or then. This death maybe more gently and easy.
Valorkit sneaked to his mother. He couldn't look Frosteye's eyes. He waited. Frosteye hesitated but then stooped down. Valorkit close his eyes.
"Valorkit, I name you to Valorpaw. Forest and mountains are your mentors. Study hard." Frosteye whispered and licked Valorpaw. He opened his eyes and looked his mother suprised. Frosteye turned around to go, but she looked one more time to Valopaw.
"I love you, my child. And your brothers love you, too. We just are afraid. Goodbye, Valorpaw." Then Frosteye went away.
Valorpaw stayed. He was sitting alone front of abandoned den. He had chance. Although it was like small flame in the dark night, but it was still something.
Valorpaw stayed still thinking about things. When the outbreak of the first stars, he finally raised his head and looked up to sky.
"Starclan, Can you hear me? If you hear, I swear, that if I survive, I will start my own clan. My clan definitely protect and help all cats, who needs help. My clan never turn its back to anyone. No good cats or evil cats." Valorpaw vowed. "I swear… swear…"
Then little brown striped cat started walking forward and disappeared to the dark.
