Chapter 1: The New Kits

One morning, in newleaf, there was yowling through the forest. In the ThunderClan camp, a ginger cat with green eyes was giving birth to a litter of kits. Jayfeather, the medicine cat, and Leafpool were working on her.

"The first ones coming," Jayfeather called. Brambleclaw, the father and mate of Squirrelflight, was pacing outside of the nusery.

There was once when, Squirrelflight had to cover for Leafpool. Medicine cats can't have a mate or kits, so Squirrelflight pretended to be Lionblaze's, Hollyleaf's, and Jayfeather's mother. So he's new to being an actual father.

"It's out! It's a ginger tom," Leafpool told Squirrelflight. Another contraction when through her body, "Another is coming!"

Tiny mewling was heard when a small brown tom came out. Then the 3rd, which was a silver she-cat came out quicker. The last one came out, except it took a little bit longer.

"Brambleclaw, you may come in now," Jayfeather whispered. Brambleclaw rushed in and saw the 4 kits at Squirrelflights side.

"They're beautiful, Squirrelflight," Brambleclaw said astonished, "you did a great job."

"No. We did a great job." Squirrelflight sighed, happily.

"Those are some beau… wait. Jayfeather! Come quick!" Leafpool yelled.

"What is it, Leafpool?" Jayfeather asked.

"Look." The youngest of the she-kits wasn't drinking any of Squirrelflights milk.

"Come little one, drink." Said Squirrelflight, soothingly. She tried to nose the kit to her stomach but it wouldn't drink. Squirrelflight had a horrified look on her face. Jayfeather knew what she was thinking, 'is she not going to live?'

"Leafpool come with me to the medicine den," with that he picked up the little kit and ran to the medicine den.

Ferncloud rushed over, heavy with her own kits, to Squirrelflight to comfort her. And so did Brambleclaw.

Later…

Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw named the 3 kits. The brown tom was named Rabbitkit because of the slick pelt. The ginger tom was named Lightningkit because of its fast mewing. Lastly, the silverish brown she-kit was named Silverkit, because of her pelt. But they didn't get a good look at the other she-kit because she has been in the medicine den since birth.

Jayfeather and Leafpool have been working for hours, but finally finished. Something was wrong with her insides so they had to give her herbs. But there was something wrong with her left ear, so they had to... disable it. Basically "cut" it off, so it really has 1 ear. When the kit was asleep, they brought it back to the nursery.

"Is she gonna be ok?" Brambleclaw said eagerly. But he said her ear, "Wh-What happened?"

"There was something wrong with her ear and it would've damaged her brain, so we had to… take it off, and take whatever was in her ear out." Jayfeather replied.

When they walked in Squirrelflight instantly looked up and when she saw her kit, her eyes brightened. But when she saw the ear mishap, she opened her mouth to ask what happened, but Brambleclaw told her what had happened. She understood.

"We haven't named her yet," Brambleclaw said, smiling.

"Oh yes. Lets name her, Bravekit."

Next Day…

(Bravekit's POV)

I heard my littermates, Lightningkit, Silverkit, and Rabbitkit. The one I heard the most was Lightningkit, you know why? He won't stop talking, that's why! But Silverkit was an outgoing type kit, she encourages me to open my eyes, I try and I try but it's hard. Rabbitkit, ha! You can hear him coming a mile away. You hear him fall, bump into the wall, squeal, any of that and the first thing you think is: 'Rabbitkit'.

"C'mon Bravekit! You can open your eyes! I know you can!" I heard Silverkit chant.

"Yeah! C'mon! We can meet the clan!" Lightning kit shouted.

"If she opens her eyes! And I hope now," Rabbitkit said impatiently.

"Oh knock it off Rabbitkit, quit being so stubborn!" Silverkit giggled.

"I'm not stubborn! I'm just bored!" He said defensively.

"Yes you are!" I said. I shocked myself when I spoke because I opened my eyes!

"Finally! Welcome to the waking world shut eyes!" Rabbitkit said excitedly.

Just then I realized that I had something on my "ear," and that they were looking at me weirdly, especially Silverkit. I touched where my "ear" was and felt… nothing.

I screeched so loud, I woke up Squirrelflight, on accident.

"What's the matter?" she looked eagerly at me, with worry clouding her gaze.

"MY EAR! WHERE'S MY EAR?"

She got up and curled up around me, "It's ok little one, you had a… problem with it and Jayfeather, our medicine cat, helped you."

"Um, I think I need more of the sticky stuff," I held up a paw and it had the sticky stuff, or cobwebs, all over it.

"Jayfeather left a little bit here just in case," she replied. She leaned into me and whispered in my ear, "You want to know a secret?"

I nodded vigorously.

"Jayfeather was worried about you, and he is as grumpy as a badger," Squirrelflight chuckled.

"Really?" I said astonished, "Could we see the clan?"

"Yeah! Could we?" Lightningkit, Rabbitkit, and Silverkit said jumping around.

"Sure, just promise me this, you won't grow up fast?"

"WE PROMISE!" we all said.

They ran out with me stumbling behind.

(3rd person now, but still staying with Bravekit)

"Wow! It's so big!" Lightningkit squealed.

"Hello there young'uns!" an unfamiliar voice said. The 4 kits squeaked and squealed. They spun around and saw an old tom, obviously an elder, "Now who might you be?"

"I'm Lightningkit!" he said excitedly.

"I'm Rabbitkit!" he puffed up his chest. 'Annoying fur ball' Bravekit thought happily.

"I'm Silverkit," she scuffled her paws.

Then Bravekit realized it was her turn, "Oh! I'm Bravekit!" she looked up into the cats eyes.

"Well, hi there! I'm Purdy," he replied, nicely, "Now I'll let you scurry off, nice to meet you kits!"

They saw a pile full of food.

"What's that?" Bravekit asked.

"That's the fresh kill pile," Brambleclaw padded up beside them.

"It's so huge!" Lightningkit said.

"Well, not in leafbare." He said.

"Who's going to show us around camp?" Silverkit asked.

"Hmm… Let's see, how about… Lionblaze!"

A golden furred cat came trotting over, "Are these your kits, Brambleclaw? Because that one right there" –pointing his tail to Rabbitkit- "looks a lot like you." Rabbitkit looked away embarrassed

"Oh right! You don't know their names!" Brambleclaw remembered, "well I'll let them introduced themselves." Then he stalked to the den.

When they introduced themselves Lionblaze said, "Ok, Rabbitkit, I'll remember your name because you look like your father, I'll remember Lightningkit, because you look like your mother, and Silverkit, you have both your mother and fathers look, and Bravekit." Bravekit was a white she-cat, "I'll remember you because, You have both you mothers and fathers eye colors."

Bravekit has one green eye and one brown eye.

"Alright, this is the elders den, only Purdy and Mousefur are in here," his eyes clouded with grief but then vanished to happiness, "and then this is the warriors den, where I sleep! This is the apprentice den where you will be in about 6 moons, this is the medicine den, and I believe you know what I'm talking about, Bravekit?"

She nodded, she also remembered Jayfeather who helped him.

"Well, you know the fresh kill pile… the leaders den! That's where Firestar and Sandstorm sleep. And that, is highrock. That's where Firestar announces meetings."

"Psst… Bravekit!" it was Rabbitkit, "Let's climb the highrock."

"Ok" she replied.

Once the climbed to the top, you could see the whole camp.

"WOW! Hey I'm going to go to the bottom and see how high you are," said Rabbitkit. I nodded, excitedly. He climbed down.

"Now I know why they call it Highrock!" he shouted, Bravekit chuckled.

"I am Bravestar, leader of ThunderClan!" she shouted, unaware of the paw steps behind her.

"I see we have our future leader of ThunderClan," said the voice.

Bravekit squealed and nearly slipped off the Highrock if it weren't for the mysterious cat. When Bravekit looked up, she saw a thick orange pelt that looked like fire in the sun.

"Hello Bravekit, I'm Firestar, the actual leader of ThunderClan," he chuckled. Bravekit looked away.

"Hey Bravekit! What happened…" Rabbitkit came up and paused when he saw their leader before them, "F-Firestar… Please don't delay our apprenticeship!"

"Don't worry Rabbitkit!" he laughed, "I won't do that to some curious kits. Now go look around."

When they walked away, Rabbitkit said he was going to check out the apprentices den.

(Bravekit's POV)

I went to the medicine den, and waited. I saw Jayfeather coming through the entrance with lots of herbs, when one fell, I ran and grabbed it before it hit the ground.

"Thanks… oh, hi Bravekit!" he said, happily, "How are you holding up?"

"Pretty good…" I replied.

"Could you do me a favor?"

I nodded.

"Take this to Ferncloud" he shoved a reddish berry to me, "its juniper berries, Ferncloud might have a stomach ache." I nodded.

When I got to the nursery, I gave her the juniper berries. Then she felt a weird feeling in her stomach.

"The kits are coming," she gasped.

My eyes widened in fear. I yelled, "THE KITS ARE COMING!"

To Be Continued…

A big thanks to my sister, Kylee! She thought of the kits' names for Squirrelflights litter (except Bravekit) and she chose ones for Fernclouds too! I need help thinking of warrior names and other kits names, so you can leave as many suggestions you want! Thanks!
