I opened my eyes looking up at my mother Night she was the best our father abandoned us when the oldest two died but me and my brother survived. I'm Snow and my brother is Tail we both have white fur because we're white cats and live on ice. I looked around the den my brothers already awake.
He's excited to leave to go to the land. Every year the ice melts; at least that's what our mother tells us I was born on the ice I'm five moons she says that land has snow that's brown and sticks to our paws and whiskers from the ground that are green I've never seen green but I think it's like white.
"Snow, tail come on I'm going hunting." I heard mother wake up
"I'm coming!" I hear my brother shout ", I'm going to catch a salmon and eat it whole." He boasted
"No, you're both going to learn how to fish before we go to land." she said firmly
One time mother caught us a fish, then this big cat came to take its tail hissed at him and said it was our catch then the big bear fought him until mother clawed his eyes for harming her kit. He then hissed that we were old enough to take care of had become harder to find, this was our last day on the ice before we went to land. Once mother caught the fish we began traveling. "Mama, can we rest I feel dizzy, my paws hurt, I want food!" My brother started wailing.
" No you don't your five moons old, almost six by then you should be old enough to take care of yourself, but you can't because you rely on me too much." She snarled at him and he started whimpering. "But, we may rest here for the night." she said we both cuddled close to her tired under the stars.
Line break
I woke up and padded out of my basket looking at my mother Fluffy she had black fur and on her back and white paws and underbelly. Laying next to our housefolk my father King was in the corner growling he lived in the forest before he came here and he hated it. I looked for Yeti my best friend he was about six moons older than me but we got along fine.
It was feeding time the housefolk gave us a bowl of food my father calls it kittypet slop but eats it nonetheless. I understood why he called it slop I didn't like it I preferred the fruit we got sometimes, the thought of delicious blueberries yum."Hey, Luna let's go a ask Sylvester to tell us a story " Yeti called rushing over to me he looked a bit like me but had a splash of white fur on his chest. Father says it's because I have forest blood kittypets don't have full black fur unless they have forest blood.
We went to Sylvester who was laying down weakly he was the oldest cat here about 96 moons he knows a bit about the wild. "Sylvester tell us a story." Asked yeti politely
"The Firestar one. "I added
"Fine, Firestar at the time rusty was a kittypet like you he had orange fur like fire. He went to the forest one day and joined a clan called Thunderclan. He was then made an apprentice called Firepaw. Then a warrior Fireheart and he saved his clan from an evil cat called Tigerclaw. He was banished and joined Shadowclan and became Tigerstar and joined with bloodclan then he was killed and Fireheart then Firestar killed the evil cat I think his name was scar or courage I forgot."
I loved Firestar I wanted to be just like him and save a clan and the forest.
"Nonsense there are no clans and definitely no cat called Firestar ,kittypets don't survive when the go in the forest " King spat at us now go and sleep or something he yelled. All I wanted to do is to go to the forest.
I woke up grumpy again our clan is stupid around this time the split up and live with their kin but we only live with our mother as our father died they had lots of other kits before us who died to by us I mean me and my brother dustkit. Unlike Dustkit I'm strong and five moons soon we go to the great cat lake and reunited with our clan. Dustkit was always sick and it was just us to I didn't have any other brothers to play fight I would never learn. Mother ignores me probably because I'm not Dustkit plain old Bramblekit isn't important .
I just want to leave this place and go back to the clans.
