There was a scintillation of bright silver claws. Each fine-point barb pierced through Mintkit's soft, feather-like fur and managed to slice the skin. Mintkit fell to the floor, shivering. Warm, wet sticky blood seeped through her pure white coat and made it turn scarlet. Wimpering, Mintkit buried her nose under her paws. She wished she could block out the world. She wished she didn't have anything to worry about. She wished she didn't have such mean parents and siblings. Not to mention the clan. They all teased her just because she had two diffrent colored eyes. One blue, one green.

She felt blow after blow of claws as her brother, Darkkit, slashed at her sides.

When was mother going to tell him to stop? Mintkit had to deal with this every day. Each day, when the sun was going down, Mintkit's mother wanted each of her kits to practice their battle moves. No mother wanted a weak kit. So instead of practicing with warriors, they practiced on poor Mintkit. And Mintkit hated her life. Why was it even worth living if everyone was going to be mean to you just because of how you looked?

''That's enough for today,'' Mintkit's mother, Featherfur, purred. ''Come here and listen. You deserve to be told a story my little warrior.''

As Mintkit struggled to sit up, she rolled her eyes as her mother used the term, 'My little warrior'. How could Darkkit be praised? He was praised for everything, but no one ever praised Mintkit. All she got was words full of venom and blows to the side of the head. No one ever said anything nice to her. Ever.

Mintkit listened to the story from afar for she didn't want to risk getting swatted from getting to close to her mother. Her own mother wouldn't even let her get close enough for warmth. So Mintkit had made herself a soft mossy bed in the corner of the nursery where she was far away from the others.

As she made her way to her bed and curled up Featherfur had just finished telling her story. Darkkit sighed and curled up by his mothers belly. ''I love you.'' he purred.

''I love you too.'' Featherfur purred back to her son.

Mintkit wondered why nobody ever said 'I love you to her'. No one loves me, that's why, she thought bitterly.

When everything was silent, Mintkit settled into a light doze. She couldn't sleep all that well though because her scratches burned. Each time she would turn to clean them, she saw Featherfur and Darkkit. They were wrapped in a soft blanket of warmth while Mintkit was so cold, she was sure frost was forming on her fur.

When she couldn't stand the burning anymore, she stood on shaky legs and padded out into the clearing. The moon was a claw scratch in the sky. The stars were sparkling like little pairs of eyes. No one was out. Just probably her and Ravensplash, who was on watch. Ravensplash didn't seem to notice Mintkit so she ran to the medicine cat den before the large black-and-white she-cat could get up.

As the small white kit crashed through the ferns, she smashed into another cat and was lost in a tangle of golden tabby fur. She found her way out and turned to see one of the apprentices, Sweetpaw. Her long golden fur glowed silver in the moonlight and she raked an icy amber glare at Mintkit.

''Watch where your going, mouse-brain!'' Sweetpaw snapped. Though her name sounded sweet and all, she was the most rudest of all apprentices and had many mean things to say to Mintkit.

As Sweetpaw opened her mouth to say another blunt remark, she was stopped by the beautiful, tortoiseshell medicine cat taking the name of Dapplesnow.

''Now, now Sweetpaw. No need to be barbaric. Go make yourself useful by going on watch with Ravensplash. Your paw seems perfectly fine.''

Sweetpaw stood up and walked away, her tail swishing in anger.

Mintkit looked up at Dapplesnow with a look of pure distress. ''Why Dapplesnow? Why does everyone have to hate me?''

Dapplesnow was the only nice one in the ThunderClan. She was the only cat Mintkit would talk too and feel safe around. She was like a mother to Mintkit, but the opposite of Featherfur. She was gentle, kind-hearted, the best medicine cat in ThunderClan. Mintkit would visit Dapplesnow everyday and soon cats would think she wanted to be a medicine cat but she really wanted to be a warrior. Only thing that troubled her about becoming a warrior was her eyes?

Her thoughts were snapped from her head like a branch on a tree. Dapplesnow was looking expectedly at Mintkit. Clearly waiting for an answer. She hadn't even known Dapplesnow said something. ''What?'' Mintkit asked.

''I said it's because of your eyes.'' Dapplesnow meowed gently, trying not to get Mintkit upset.

The medicine cat stretched out her tail to touch the kit on the soulder but Mintkit turned away. ''Why has StarClan cursed me to be the most overlooked cat in the clan? Couldn't it have been my brother or someone else?''

''Well, it's just probably because...,'' Dapplesnow broke off in search of words.

''Because I'm ugly and StarClan couldn't find any other cat to make fun of so they chose me.'' Mintkit growled under her breath.

Dapplesnow turned her suprised gaze to Mintkit. Her eyes were as big as full moons. ''No, of course not!'' she yelped. ''It's just because your...special.''

''But I don't want to be special! I just want to be a regular cat! I just want to be a warrior!'' Mintkit's angry voice dropped down to just a barely audible whisper. ''I don't want to be made fun of. Why can't I just have regular old eyes?''

''You still can be a warrior.'' Dapplesnow meowed.

''I know but what would the others think of my eyes? I would rather be dead then having to get teased by other cats.''

''Never say that!'' Dapplesnow whispered, wrapping her tail around Mintkit's shoulders. ''If you don't feal comfortable about being a warrior, you can always become a medicine cat.''

Mintkit said nothing, just looked deep into Dapplesnow's eyes. When the white kit said nothing, Dapplesnow continued.

''I would enjoy your help. And you can sleep with me instead of your mean brother. Would you like that?''

Mintkit got up and limped to the entrance of the medicine den. ''I'll think about it.'' she called over her shoulder and went back to the nersury, forgetting about her wounds. She would just think about it. That's all she needed was to think. One question raced through her head, should I be a warrior, or a medicine cat?
