Chapter One:
The newborn kit quickly drew in a deep breath. He had been sleeping a long time, seemingly forever. But he couldn't see. He crawled forward, towards the scent of milk, towards the scent of his mother.
***
The kit opened his eyes. His mother, Dovewing, meowed excitedly, "Look, Bumblestripe, he opened his eyes!" His father, Bumblestripe hurried forward. He looked at Snowkit.
"I knew our kits would be beautiful," Bumblestripe purred, "What should we name him?"
"Snowkit. He has such fluffy white fur," Dovewing meowed proudly, "Oh, look, the other one has too!" Snowkit looked beside him at his sister, whose fur was much shorter than his. It was gray and striped. He thought it looked funny.
"This one should be Rainkit," Bumblestripe meowed. Dovewing nodded.
"Mother! Rainkit's opened her eyes, can we go out and play now?" Snowkit asked. He had heard Lilykit and Seedkit playing outside, and had wanted to as well.
Daisy, a kind she-cat that had no kits in the nursery, but stayed there anyway, purred, "So sweet. Ready to explore the second they open their eyes. They'll make fine warriors."
"Yes, you can explore. You should go to the elders' den. I'm sure Sandstorm would love to meet you," Dovewing meowed.
Snowkit scampered out of the nursery, followed by Rainkit. Snowkit decided he would find the other kits first. But as he stepped out, he stopped. The camp was so huge! There was a pile of delicious scents, and so many dens!
He opened his mouth to scent for Lilykit or Seedkit, but he could'nt find either. "What are you doing out of the nursery?" A huge tom asked. He was smaller than Dovewing, but so much bigger than Snowkit.
Snowkit puffed out his fur to look bigger. "We're exploring! Who're you?"
The tom replied, "I'm Molepaw."
Snowkit bounced excitedly. Lilykit was always wanting Molepaw and Cherrypaw to teach her battle moves! Now he could be just as skilled as them! "Can you teach me some battle moves?"
Molepaw shook his head and purred, "I'm sorry, but you're too small. I don't think Dovewing would want me to teach you to fight already."
"But Daisy said I'd be a warrior!" Snowkit wailed.
"Please?" Rainkit begged.
"Sorry, I have stuff to do," Molepaw padded away, leaving the kits behind.
Rainkit looked upset, but Snowkit was determined to do something more interesting. He found the biggest cat in the Clan - a striped brown tom - and mewled, "Can you teach me some battle moves?"
The tom looked amused. He meowed, "Does Dovewing know you're out of the nursery?"
Snowkit nodded, "We opened our eyes, so we're allowed to explore," He puffed out his chest, "Daisy said we would be great warriors!"
"Oh, you want to explore the camp? Why don't you find Lilykit and Seedkit? I'm sure they'll show you around."
Snowkit wanted to wail in frustration. How were they supposed to find Lilykit and Seedkit in this huge camp? He was just about to voice his thoughts, when the tom meowed, "Look, there they are!" Snowkit turned and saw them playing beside the nursery.
He bounded away from the tom without a word and came to a stop beside Seedkit. "Can we play with you?" Lilykit and Seedkit were three moons older than Snowkit and his sister, and they towered over him, like trees.
"Sure!" Lilykit tossed a ball of moss towards him and he scampered off in its direction. He pounced on it and began to chew on it.
"No, no like that!" Lilykit meowed.
Snowkit stopped, "What?"
"You're supposed to toss it back!"
"Okay!" He scooped it up and tossed it. It went a few mouse-lengths. Seedkit bounded forward and tossed it to Rainkit, who tossed it back to Snowkit. Snowkit grabbed it and ran around with it for a few heartbeats, then tossed it to Lilykit. He felt like a warrior!
