''What in Starclan is that creature?'' I hear my mother's angry growl as she cast one look at me.
I'm Lunarkit, I'm a she-kit, with black fur and silver fawn spots, but, my eyes were different colors, one violet, and one red. I was born into Shadowclan, into a queen named Thistlefur, and a tom named Snakeheart.
Leafstar, our leader, had sympathy for me, because I'm bullied by my siblings, parents, other kits, apprentices. Even warriors. Sometimes, I wish my mother could just murder me so I could join the ranks of Starclan.
I yawned, opening my eyes; it was cold, and very damp. I was excluded from sleeping in my mother's warm fur to sleep on the thick brambles, I spotted Deerspot, a brown and white queen, creaking one eye open and smiling weakly at me. Her kits, Bluekit and Wildkit, were the only kits friendly to me. ''Come here, Lunarkit.'' I heard her murmur. I nearly gasped, why would another queen take a kit from her mother?
''Thank you, Deerspot.'' I murmur curling up in her warm, milk-scented fur; Deerspot was like a real mother to me, her eyes shining with something I'm not usually familiar with. Love. When she watched me play with her kits, laughter shone in her eyes, when my mother's eyes were filled with hatred. I stretched my tiny mouth into a huge, soundless yawn as my eyes fluttered asleep. My eyes, one, the color of a beautiful lavender flower, the other, like a flow of blood.
I was being prodded away with a small nose, I turned over and yawned. ''Come on, Lunarkit, Get up sleepy kit!'' I heard Bluekit giggling beside her brother, Wildkit. I smiled, standing up, puffing out my black fur. ''Roar!'' I mewled, giggling.
Thistlefur stood up, growling. ''Be Quiet!'' She snapped, ''Get out of my sight!'' She snarled. Flinching, me and my friends backed towards the entrance, after seeing Deerspot's nod of approval, we turned and ran out.
After seeing Deerspot's nod and glare at Thistlefur, we turned and scrambled out, me being to first, to get away from my evil mother. ''Lunarkit!'' Bluekit whispered, pointing a paw at one of the elders, Tallpoppy, who was slipping back inside the den. ''Maybe she has a story.'' She squealed. I nodded, Tallpoppy was actually kind to me, and the kits.
''Sure!'' I mewled, I liked Tallpoppy, she is a friend. And, she knows about No-eye's past, which she never told anyone! It was because they were apprentices together, and she saw what happened!
I stumbled through the fern towards the elder's den, with Bluekit and Wildkit stumbling behind me, ''Tallpoppy? Do you have a story?'' Wildkit mewled.
Tallpoppy purred, sweeping her long plumed tail over to us, pulling us towards her. ''What about the story of No-eye?'' She asked, purring at our wide eyes. ''Yes!''
I got comfortable, staring at Tallpoppy with wide eyes.
''Back then, when No-eye, still named Mintbreeze, named a sunrise ago, was still having trouble adjusting to a life of a warrior, but her sister, Crystalmoon, had been named with her, making the adjustment easier. They were inseparable, doing everything and anything together, even playing pranks on some of the elder warriors!
But, then, Coalfur came in, if his warrior skills were as big as his ego, he would have been the greatest fighter in the clans! Crystalmoon fell for him, but Mintbreeze hatred for him continued to grow, after many arguments, tears, and begging from Crystalmoon, Mintbreeze finally gave Coalfur her blessing to become Crystalmoon's mate.
Until, it all came crashing down. It was a cold leaf-bare, and Mintbreeze went out hunting, Starclan was nice to give her a plump rabbit, but she dropped it, hearing moans and whimpers from the frozen undergrowth. Mintbreeze stalked towards her, only to freeze in mid-step at the sight she saw. There lay Coalfur, bloody and limp…dead.
It was misfortune, of course, because that was the time Crystalmoon's patrol showed up. ''My mate!'' She cried, crouching next to beloved. Her eyes shown wildly, with no emotion. '' You murdered him!'' She snarled at Mintbreeze, who backed away.
''No, I didn't! I was just-''
''You murdered him! You're not my sister!'' She howled, surging forward, her claws over Mintbreeze's eyes, then, darkness. Her own sister blinded her, Nothing was ever heard of Crystalmoon again….
''Wow!'' Bluekit meowed in shock, ''So that's how No-eye was blinded!'' Lunarkit mewed in wonderment, staring at Tallpoppy with huge eyes, Tallpoppy smiled and nodded, not disturbed by the little kits eyes. ''Perhaps you should be getting back to the nursery. '' Tallpoppy joked, purring, seeing Deerspot look around frantically. I smiled and purred, at least I'm liked by some cats, right?
I followed Bluekit and Wildkit as Deerspot covered them with licks, yowling not to worry her like that. Then she walked over to me and licked by ruffled fur clean, ' 'I was so worried!'' Deerspot meowed, licking me.
I purred, rubbing myself against her muzzle as she picked us up and trotted towards the nursery, with Thistlefur not even giving me a glance, I curled up with Bluekit and Wildkit, falling into a restless sleep.
No one heard Spiritmoon mutter a Prophecy in her sleep, twitching the slightest bit. No one knew ,that Lunarkit would be the best leader that ever led Shadowclan. For now, Lunarkit was, well. A kit.
