Hey guys! It's Sundrop! Or if you want something easier, call me Sierra (My good self in my head) or Nikki (My evil self in my head). This is my first story so go easy on me! I'll try and update every other day, but no promises! I started this three weeks into freshman year... silly me! So please bear with me, and remember: REVIEWS = HAPPINESS = CHAPTERS!
Disclaimer: I do not own WARRIORS! Erin Hunter does! (Did you guys know she's four people?)
Sun blared in the rare cloudless sky. turning the reeds creating the nursery a vibrant shade of crimson.
"Thunderstrike, I'm fine! The kits will wake up soon.
"But Cinnamon, what about Honeykit?
"Shh! She can hear you!"
Cloudkit wriggled. She knew her sisters' name was Honeykit. Was something wrong with her? Cloudkit thought. Her tail quivered. I'm going to open my eyes today! Cloudkit's tail started waving in excitement.
"Thunderstrike, come quick! Cloudkit's opening her eyes!" She heard her mother exclaim.
Yes! Cloudkit thought, I'm opening my eyes! It was slightly hard, but she managed. She blinked several times, and then starred hard at her mother. Cinnamon used to be a rogue, and when she had joined RiverClan, she kept the name Cinnamon. Even though she thought the name Russetwind was an amazing name. Thunderstrike was there too. She recognized him from her mothers' tale about colors, how yellow and amber looked like. One eye was yellow, and the other was amber. Her mother was russet with white markings on her face, back and tail. Her father was jet black. Nothing else on him. She turned her neck to the left which is where she felt her sister's fur. Then she saw what Thunderstrike was talking about.
Honeykit was... odd. She had opened her eyes as well, and one was... bright blue, the other... was grass green. (A/N I wanted to say black but... SEARCH Venus the cat! It's essential, its what Honeykit looks like)
But that wasn't the shocking part.
Honeykit's face was split down the middle, dead center. Half of it was jet black, and the other was russet. Even her nose was split!
The rest of her was calico. Cloudkit flinched at her sisters' face at first, but then thought her sisters' face was awesome.
"Hi Honeykit!" Cloudkit mewed.
"Hi..." Honeykit looked confused. "Where's Splashheart?"
Cloudkit was confused. Who was Splashheart? She looked at Cinnamon. "Who's Splashheart?" She asked.
"She's a ShadowClan cat..." Cinnamon said. Cloudkit caught a brief look of sadness on her mothers' face... or was that guilt?
"How about you kits meet the Clan?" Thunderstrike suggested. Cloudkit bounded up on wobbly legs, only to fall down again. Honeykit giggled.
"Oh, shush up, fish-face!" Cloudkit teased.
"Nuh-uh, beetle-brain!" Honeykit said, getting up.
"Come one Cloudkit, Honeykit, let's meet the Clan!" Thunderstrike said, nudging CLoudkit to her paws.
"Wait," Cloudkit said, then took a look at her pelt. It was a black ball of fuzz, sticking out at odd angles. She took a glance at her chest. There was a single with spot of fluff right over her heart. So that's why I'm called Cloudkit! She thought.
Cloudkit gave herself a quick grooming, and although her pelt wasn't as sleek as Thunderstrike's, she was satisfied.
Padding out after Honeykit and Thunderstrike, she was greeted with what seemed like hundreds of different scents and colors.
"Cloudkit, Honeykit, welcome to RiverClan!"
A sparkling white she-cat with silver-gray eyes padded up the them. I'm Snowfall." she said, warmly. "I'm the Clans' deputy. Here, I'll introduce you two to some others. " She started to walk away to a group of warriors and apprentices sharing tongues.
Snowfall stopped and talked with a tan tabby tom, a ginger-and-russet she-cat, and a calico she-cat.
Snowfall came back with the three warriors on her tail.
"This is Duststorm, Whisperwind, and Emberberry." Snowfall introduced the warriors in order. "Duststorm, Whisperwind, Emeberberry, meet Cloudkit and Honeykit."
Whisperwind and Duststorm flinched at Honeykit at first, but they earned a hiss from the calico warrior Emberberry, so they forced themselves not to look away.
"Welcome to RiverClan, young kits!" Emberberry welcomed warmly. "I'll introduce you to some cat more your age, you need to be hanging around with old-hair-balls like us." Emberberry waved her tail at the others, and herded the kits away.
Cloudkit realized she hadn't said anything to Whisperwind or Duststorm. "U-Umm... Nice too meet you!" Cloudkit called.
"Yeah! See you soon!" They called back. Snowfall waved her tail with a chuckle, and then hurried off to chat with a gray tabby.
Emberberry walked with them to two apprentices, a small silver she-cat and a rather large ginger tom.
"This is Skypaw and Blazepaw. They're only six moons older then you, but six moons isn't much." Emberberry said.
"Hi!" Exclaimed the ginger tom, who must be Blazepaw.
"Cinnamon's kits right?" Skypaw mewed, "Honeykit and..." she trailed off, looking at Cloudkits black pelt.
"Cloudkit." Honeykit supplied.
"Cloudkit?" Skypaw asked. "Shouldn't she be called Nightkit because of her pelt?"
Cloudkit was slightly embarrassed. She licked her white fluff on her chest, catching Skypaw's attention.
"Ohh..." Was all she said.
Blazepaw cuffed Skypaw around the ears. "Sorry for Skypaws nonchalant behavior, she's quite absent minded." he apologized.
"It's fine." Cloudkit said.
"Honeykit! Coudkit! Come meet Rosekit! Then you need a nap!"
Honeykit and Cloudkit turned to where Cinnmon's russet head stuck out from the reeds of the nursery.
But she wasn't tired! Cloudkit frowned. Emberberry had left, and Skypaw was padding to the fresh-kill pile.
"Coming!" Honeykit called. She dashed off, and CLoudkit was about to follow when something yanked on her tail and she turned to see Blazepaw letting go.
"What was that for?" she hissed.
"When you're and apprentice, I want to be the first cat to see you catch a fish." Blazepaw said.
Cloudkit stifled a purr. "You'll be the first cat I come to." she promised.
Ahh! I finished the first chapter in 45 minutes! That has to be my record. Just so you guys know, I have a general idea what this story will be about, but it will mostly just be my fingers typing whatever fits.
I need OCs! Guys help me! Please! Also, if you want your warrior cat to be in this story, leave your warrior name, pelt color, clan and brief description in the reviews! That you all so much for reading! Stay posted, and I'll keep coming back, byez!
