Chapter 1
"Errrr..."I lifted my head groggily.
I must have survived the flood! But for some reason, my eyes were sealed shut and wouldn't open when I tried.
I forced them open and blinked a couple of times, but it was still dark.
I knew I was somewhere warm and I could smell something milky and soothing.
Wait, smell?
I raised my hand up to my face.
But before I touched it, I hesitated. I shut my eyes, and opened them again.
It was still dark.
"This kit has already opened her eyes! What shall we name her?" A voice said, quaking with excitement.
My ears… twitched?I put my hand on my face and felt a furry paw. I opened my mouth to let out a cry of alarm, but was interrupted by something thin and furry flicking across my mouth.
"How about Swiftkit?" A voice purred.
"Sounds great. How—" I thought this was odd. Am I a cat? A warrior cat?
"What's wrong with her eyes? Swiftkit's eyes are strange!" One of the two voices cried, cutting the other one off.
I blinked, suddenly realising the utter blackness wasn't supposed to be here.
"Leafpool, what's wrong with my kit?"
Leafpool?
"Ferncloud, I'm afraid your kit's blind, like Jaykit. They were born at almost the same time." Leafpool meowed.
Dustpelt cut in. He took a deep breath.
"Swiftkit? Can you hear me?"I nodded.
"What do I look like?"
I squealed."You look just like me. Pale gray, with darker flecks. And you have green eyes." Ferncloud purred, drawing me towards her.
I mewled and squirmed around, bumping into Dustpelt's legs.
