Chapter 1: Jealous

TreeKit sat down just outside the nursery watching the other Kits play. TumbleKit, FrostKit, and HoneyKit were having a mini battle against FlowerKit, FoxKit, and TroubleKit. TumbleKit was a cream tom with specks of black on his legs. FoxKit was a dark red tom with a black face and black paws. HoneyKit was a ginger she-kit with red paws. FlowerKit was a calico she-kit, the runt in her litter, her face was orange she had two black legs and two white legs with a white body with small ginger spots. IceKit was a black she-kit with a white tail, nose, and paws. Last of all was TroubleKit. He was a large black and white tom. His tail was black with a single spot of white, his body was mostly white except for some large spots of black, and all his paws were pure white.

"Don't you dare attack TumbleClan!" TumbleKit's meow rang out.

"You will never win against IceClan!" IceKit yowled before jumping at TumbleKit.

TreeKit waited for the right time before jumping into the pile of playing kits. She found herself face to face with TumbleKit. With a smirk he jumped onto TreeKit smashing her to the ground. She struggled under his grasp trying to get free. Finally she stopped struggling and looked up at him desperately thinking of s plan. A plan finally formed in her mind and she waited quietly. His paws were placed on her shoulders and he smirked again thinking he had won While he gloated TreeKit surged up and knocked him away from her. He looked stunned for a second before realizing what had happened. He leaped at her which resulted in them tumbling around swatting at each other with sheathed paws. Eventually they broke apart and stood staring at each other. The rest of the kits had stopped fighting and were cheering on TumbleKit. As TreeKit realized no one was cheering for her, her confidence faltered. She didn't know if she wanted to fight anymore. Quickly she whipped around and ran back toward the nursery. She was half way there when all the kits, except FlowerKit, jumped on her. Her face slammed into the dirty ground. She tried to pull up but the weight on her pushed her back down making her face lay in the dirt. She struggled and tried to meow for them to get off but the only sound she could make was muffled noised. Then she couldn't breathe. Everything became fuzzy. She heard some commotion but was too much in fear to listen. At the last moment the weight vanished off of her. She felt herself be lifted up into the air. When she opened her eyes she looked up to see her mother, BlueHeart, carrying her into the nursery. She gently got put down in her nest and licked all over.

"What's wrong my pretty little TreeKit" Her mother asked in between licks.

TreeKit looked at the mossy nest. A question was ebbing in her mind but she didn't know how to say it. She looked up at her mother's warm blue gaze and felt reassured. "W-why does no one like me?" She asked pushing away the tears that threatened to burst out.

BlueHeart looked shocked. She stopped licking her and stared at her looking confused. "What do you mean by that dear? Why makes you think that no one likes you?"

"No one cheers for me, they ignore me, they hurt me, they squash me, they make fun of me..." She wandered off continuing the list in her head. She looked back up at her mother. She calmly looked down at her only kit.

"Their jealous honey." BlueHeart bent down and started licking her kit again.

TreeKit thought. Jealous? Jealous of what? The thought still in her head she curled up to go to sleep.
