Shrewkit awoke, the sunlight shining on his pelt, curled up with his litter-mates. He poked his head out of the entrance of the nursery. He could feel the stares of cats burning into his pelt. Shrewkit waddled back inside the nursery and let out a sigh of distress. He had to make his move soon. He had to figure out why he was hated among his clan.
His clanmates had already awoken so he couldn't sneak out at the moment. He nudged his sister, Lillykit, who had always been the closest to him. She opened one eye and then the other slowly and the smiled when she saw who it was. He whispered, "I love you", into her small ear. She knew what this ment and her expression darkened in sadness.
"Please don't leave now!", she whispered back. Shrewkit couldn't stand the sadness in her voice, and so with some regret, he nodded and and mewed, "OK, but don't expect me to stay much longer..." Lillykit's eyes brightened as she said, "Thank Starclan you're not leaving right before you become an apprentice!" Shrewkit hadn't realized it was that day!
