IT'S A NEW FANFIC! It's my third one. So, please read and review. Criticisms are welcome, but try not to be hateful. Helpful tips are welcome. Any ideas are welcome as well.
Fatekit was born unusual. She had no tail. Her family died. She was under the care of an abusive family. Her "mother," Icecatch, was rude to Fatekit and screamed a lot. Her "father," Foxcloud, beat Fatekit and insulted her in any way he could. To make things worse, the Clan avoided Fatekit.
"Let all cats join beneath the Grassheap for a Clan meeting!" Bladestar yowled. He sounded grief-stricken. GrassClan's former deputy, Rainwind, had just died by an infected rat bite. "I will announce the new deputy."
"The new deputy is…" Bladestar looked around. The tension was thick.
"Icecatch." Fatekit whimpered softly. Anyone but her! She'll think she can have more control of me now! Icecatch heard Fatekit's whimper, and for a split second she glared at Fatekit- an icy, hateful glare- and then trotted over to Bladestar to touch noses with him.
"Icecatch! Icecatch!" The Clan yowled. Foxcloud yowled loudest of all, and Icecatch turned around and looked at Fatekit, a smirk on her face. Fatekit turned away and trudged over to the nursery.
"Wingbird, can you…" Fatekit heard Icecatch's voice stop. "Take care of Fatekit?" Icecatch finished. She sounded like she had eaten a foul mouse. Fatekit remembered that Wingbird was a pregnant queen. Fatekit couldn't hear Wingbird's reply, but she thought she sounded ungrateful.
"FATEKIT!" Icecloud yowled. Fatekit bounded over.
"Your new temporary mother will be Wingbird. She will take care of you until you become an apprentice." Icecatch choked out the word "apprentice," as if she didn't think Fatekit could become an apprentice. Fatekit nodded fearfully. Icecatch looked at Fatekit for a little longer, and then turned and walked away.
Wingbird sighed. "Well, come here," she meowed. "I'll have to give you milk." Fatekit padded over to her side and began to suck. At least Wingbird isn't as bad as Icecatch, Fatekit thought. And I'm three moons old. I don't have to deal with this torture much longer.
Fatekit realized that this was the first time she had felt peace. Fatekit closed her eyes, and she decided to enjoy the peace while it lasted. Her mother had died when she was just born by an illness, and her father had thrown himself against a rock many times to be with his mate in StarClan. Fatekit was then assigned to a "nice" cat named Icecatch, and her life spiraled into chaos.
Fatekit continued to peacefully suckle. Wingbird looked down at Fatekit and thought, Well, she isn't too bad. She just needs a tail.
YAY CHAPTER 1 IS DONE PLEASE REVIEW! Oh, and Fatekit is a black she-cat with purple spots.
