I walked out of the nursery. There, I saw Willowkit, cowering beneath Featherpaws gaze.
"I'm sorry, Featherpaw!" Willowkit tried to say.
But Featherpaw cut her off with a "Let me through, mouse-brain." Mouse-brain. No one calls my friend a mouse-brain!
"Featherpaw what did Willowkit do?" I asked. Featherpaw snorted.
"It's none of your business, ya little mange-pelt." Mange-pelt? Who does she think she is anyway! Oh yeah, she thinks she can do whatever she wants since she's the leaders daughter. But she is so different than the leader! Pebblestar is nice, unlike her!
"I can tell you have no reason to be angry at Willowkit." I say.
"Nightkit, don't try to help. We both know it won't work." Willowkit addresses me. Um, sorry Willowkit, but I'm gonna stand up for my friends no matter what. End. Of. Story.
"Featherpaw do whatever you were planning on doing and get away from us." I said. "Oh of course, nightstar!" Featherpaw mocked. I'll show her! Willowkit didn't do anything Featherpaw was just annoyed because Willowkit takes a lot of her mothers' time. I can't believe those two are related.
"Why does she hate me?" Willowkit wondered aloud.
"Don't worry, Willowkit, it's ok." I replied.
"But she doesn't treat my sisters that way!"
"Well, Willowkit, Silverkit is new and she might start treating her that way who knows." Willowkit's eyes suddenly blazed with horror.
"I can't let her treat my sister like that! I won't let her treat my sister like that!" The second sentence sounded determined, as if Willowkit couldn't bear the thought of another, (especially her sister), being treated the way she was being treated.
"It's so unfair!" Willowkit mewed suddenly.
"What's unfair?" I asked.
"Featherpaw has always liked my sister Firekit! Why can't she like me too?" Let's just hope Firekit doesn't end up like Featherpaw.
"I wonder what Featherpaw's warrior name will be?" I mused.
"Um...what about Featherberry? It sounds good doesn't it?" Willowkit responds. *sigh* Willowkit doesn't get it.
"Nightkit, come here it's time to eat!" Snowflower, my mother, called.
"Coming!" I reply.
"Willowkit , why don't you join me so you don't have to see that fox-dung of an apprentice again?" I asked.
Willowkit looked a bit shocked at me calling Featherpaw a fox-dung of an apprentice but didn't say anything and followed me inside the nursery.
"Willowpaw, Willowpaw! Firepaw, Firepaw!" My friends names were called out with joy from all but one. Featherpaw only called out Firepaw. I hope that fox-dung of an apprentice isn't mean to Willowpaw anymore.
"Willowpaw, psst!" I called. Willowpaw was practically bursting with joy!
"I'm finally an apprentice!" She mewed. I don't want to remind her of her troubles when she's so happy! I'll wait till later to talk to her.
"Wow!" Silverkit said as she heard her mother talking to mine about the apprentice ceremony.
"Nightkit, you're gonna be an apprentice! I can't wait till I'm an apprentice!"
"Your so funny, Silverkit!" I replied. "I bet you'll be the best apprentice there is!" I say after a moment.
"No I would much rather be a medicine cat." Silverkit responded.
"Maybe you will be." I said. It's very unlikely I won't be a medicine cat. It doesn't matter though because both the life of a warrior and a medicine cat sound interesting.
"You'll be a good medicine cat." Silverkit said.
"What? Did the queens say I was gonna be a medicine cat?" I asked.
"Yep!" She said.
"Please choose me as your apprentice, please!" She said. Of course, Silverkit! When the time comes. She'll be a good medicine cat. But I won't need an apprentice till she'll be almost done with her training! Maybe she'll be a warrior first then a medicine cat! I'll teach her everything I know while she's a warrior though so that she'll be caught up as a medicine cat apprentice by the time I need one!
"Nightpaw! Nightpaw!" My name was called out over and over again. It could be heard loudest by Silverkit and Willowpaw. My mentor is Starpelt, the clan medicine cat. I'm so excited! I'm going to go talk to Willowpaw now! She's not a medicine cat, but she'll never stop being my friend. Never.
"Tell me what its like to share dreams with Starclan!" Willowpaw mewed happily as I bounded over.
"Tomorrow is half moon!" I squealed.
"So by this time in two sunrises I'll be able to tell you!" I finished.
"Oh, look who's too puny to become a warrior!" Featherberry said. Did I mention she's a warrior now?
"Just cause I can't see you doesn't mean I can't hear you!" I spat! I could never see anyone;I've been blind from birth. That doesn't mean Featherberry isn't a fox-dung of a warrior!
Great Starclan! Five meows. First. Medicine. Cat. Apprentice. Task.! I have to go collect herbs with Starpelt! It's gonna be fun! I think. I hope. We're going to the moonpool tonight! I can't wait! I wanna know the names of all the cats in Starclan! Ok I'm over exaggerating now but you get the idea. So anyway, the point is, I'm gong to the moonpool for the first time!
