Chapter 1
POV: Pumakit
"Pumakit! What did I say about helping Oakflame!?" Lectured Crowfrost. He was a mostly white cat with hints of black, and glaring blue eyes. He is my father.
"Sorry, Crowfrost…" I sighed. Oakflame was a ginger tom, the medicine cat of Riverclan. I enjoyed assisting him, rather then playing with my siblings Hollykit and Coalkit. My siblings weren't bullying me or anything, I just find their games a bit aggressive. I wasn't as strong as them! As hard as my father may be on me, he still loves me.
"How many times must I tell you, little cub?" He said in a softer tone. "Medicine cats gather herbs to heal our clanmates. You and your siblings, however, will become strong warriors! Your task, will be to defend Riverclan. Who knows? One day it might be Pumastar! Or Coalstar...Hollystar..."
This seemed to get me into a happier mood, as me and my littermates started bickering as to who would become leader.
"Well, my pelt has black and white!" Spat Coalkit.
"So does mine!" Whined Hollykit. This was true, she had a white ear, tail tip, and patch around her yellow eyes. The rest of her fur was black, like mine.
"Not as much as me!" Growled Coalkit. He had white fur with black spots and blue eyes, and his front leg was completely black. Now that I was examining their appearances, a question popped up…
"Um, Crowfrost? How come me and Hollykit have yellow eyes? You and Coalkit have blue!"
"You're good for nothing mother had yellow eyes!" He snarled in disgust.
I shrinked in fear. Coalkit, however stood up. "Who is our mother? How come we don't know her?"
"I guess it's time I tell you, kits." Crowfrost let out a long sigh. "Your mother was given the name Ravencall, she was a beautiful black cat with yellow eyes, as though she were the night sky...like you, Pumakit." He faintly smiled, until his face formed into a scowl. "But like the coward she is, she ran off during her first ever battle. The battle that took place slightly after you all were born. She changed her name to Raven, and ran off to become a, a kittypet!"
I exchanged sorrowful looks with Coalkit. Poor Crowfrost.
