So, this is my first fanfic and I'm really excited! :D

In the summary, I list Dawnkit and Stormkit with -kit after their names, but that will be changed as they get their apprentice ones and so on. I've listed the allegiances first, and then under that, is the first chapter! (I just hate it when I read a great summary of a new fanfic and then when I click on it, the first chapter is the allegiances, and nothing else. Don't you?)

And without further ado, here you go! ;3

Chapter 1: Who Are You?

She was completely and totally bored.

Dawnkit batted a ball of moss from one paw to the other. With one final smack, the ball fell apart. Dawnkit sighed and looked around the nursery. It was a hot and languid day. Everyone—her mother, Flamelight, her sister, Mistkit, Sootcloud and her kit, and Robinfeather with her belly swelled up to twice its normal size—was asleep. Except for her. Dawnkit scampered over to Flamelight's dark ginger side and poked it with her nose. She didn't respond. Dawnkit poked her mother again, harder. Flamelight cracked open one sleepy eyelid. "What?"

"I'm bored."

"Then go to sleep, Dawnkit." And with that Flamelight closed both eyes, curled into a tighter ball, and wrapped her tail around her face. Dawnkit knew that meant she was dismissed. Now what? She knew that though going outside wasn't frowned upon, it still wasn't a good thing for kits to be outside the nursery until they were older—she was still only 4 moons old. Besides, she couldn't become an apprentice until she was 6 moons old and with everyone asleep, what good would going outside do? Even so, she poked her muzzle outside, just to take a peek.

The apprentices were all somewhere out in FireClan's territory, training with their mentors. A few cats stretched out, taking bites of fresh prey, sharing tongues, or sleeping, but most seemed to be inside. Hmm. That could possibly work to her advantage. She snuck a look back at the rest of the cats and kits inside the nursery. They were all asleep. Dawnkit quickly made up her mind. She would go outside, and before she lost the courage to!

Dawnkit slowly put one small golden paw outside the nursery opening. Nothing happened. Then another paw. Nothing happened. And then all of her was outside. Nothing happened. Dawnkit paused for a moment to observe her silent victory, but her sense of curiosity overpowered her. She wasn't interested in exploring the camp—she would get to do that later when she was older. But how many times would she get to actually have freedom to explore, when almost everyone else was away or asleep? Dawnkit licked one paw and drew it over her face, surveying the camp and its possible escape routes.

Ooh! There was a tunnel. Flamelight sometimes went there to "make dirt". There could possibly be an opening there. Quietly, Dawnkit padded the short route over to the dirt tunnel. No one seemed to notice a small golden fluffy kit sneaking around camp, which was good. Now she was inside the tunnel. It was big, slightly dark, and…smelled not very good. Dawnkit drew one breath it and coughed. "Yuck."

But this could possibly be a tunnel that would lead to outside, to freedom and no boredom! She certainly hoped so, because she wasn't sure if going in this tunnel was worth it. However, as she continued down the tunnel, paws set down lightly, with shallow breathing and small tail waving like a golden beacon, there was a small pinprick of light. It got bigger as Dawnkit approached. Could it be…? Yes, it was! Like she was stalking a mouse (which she had seen the apprentices practicing), Dawnkit carefully crept toward the light. This was her freedom! There was a medium sized opening at the end of the tunnel. Dawnkit softly jumped through, and landed on the other side.

Nothing could have prepared her for the sight that greeted her. "Whoa," she breathed. This is so cool! There were leafy trees high above, with wind rustling through them. Birds chirped from their perches on those high, leafy trees and squirrels ran up and down them. Dawnkit put her head forward and began to explore. She was free! She explored up small creeks, stalked mice (but never was able to catch them), and pranced after leaves.

Finally Dawnkit collapsed, happily, onto the ground. But she was thirsty after all the exploring. So, after resting for a few heartbeats, she was able to locate a small stream. She dipped her head to drink, gladly welcoming the cool taste that refreshed her mouth. After her thirst was sated, she decided to forego the whole thing and just jump in.

And that's exactly what Dawnkit did. The stream was shallow enough for her to safely step in. Dawnkit twirled over and over in the water, and splashed with her paws until small whirlpools of froth formed. When she got tired of playing, she swam easily enough to the other side, since the stream wasn't very wide either. Dawnkit hauled herself up onto a flat rock, and then shook herself all over. Ah, that feels great! The water droplets sprayed into the air.

"Hey!" an angry voice yowled.

Dawnkit abruptly stopped. Standing just slightly above her on another rock, was a dark gray kit with ice blue eyes that, right now, were currently glaring into her. He opened his mouth to speak.

"Who. Are. You?"


So, how was it? I know that there isn't much romance, nor exciting things happening in the first chapter, but remember Stormkit and Dawnkit are just, well, kits! So they probably aren't going to be lovey-dovey anytime soon, plus with Stormkit's accusing opening line of "Who. Are. You?" The chapter is also slightly short, but I promise that the next ones will be much longer. So, now that you've reading the first chapter, review please! It would make me feel happy. :) And now that I've finished rambling on (and condemned you to listening to my rambles as well), bye! :D
