HI! You may all know me from Instagram as featherstar_! If you didn't then look me up! This is the first chapter to the first story I ever wrote! I hope you like it
Featherkit's eyes blinked open to a blinding light.
"ARGH! What's THAT?!" she spat.
She heard a quiet chuckle and a voice saying: "Dear, please, speak into my good ear. I can't hear a word your saying!"
Oh yes. Her mother, Shatteredear, was half deaf and slowly, in Featherkit's opinion, going deafer.
Anyway... "Mum! It's a big bright light, and it hurts my eyes!" Featherkit wailed into her mother's left ear (her good one, mind you).
"Oh my little lovely," Shatteredear soothed, "that's just the sun!"
The sun... Oh yeah... She had forgotten that the sun was so bright!
In her defense she had only opened her eyes earlier that night (like any TRUE NightClanner does). Wait! You didn't know that if your eyes open in the night it means you belong in NightClan? Well now you know. (We never didn't accept those who's eyes opened during the day, though...)
In any case, Featherkit didn't like the sun that much, so far, and didn't really want to go out, much to Shatteredear, Gingerstep's and Honeyrain's (another queen who's kits had just taken off the minute their eyes had open and were now waiting for her outside) dismay.
"Please, dearie. Just go outside... Please?" her mother begged.
Finally, Featherkit gave in and agreed to go outside. She hesitated at the entrance, looking back at her mum and Gingerstep.
They nodded and she nodded back. Not knowing what lay beyond the glowing light coming from the opening, Featherkit took a deep breath and put her paws cautiously into the sunlight...
