Shadowkit slipped through the crack in the nursery wall, her hind legs dangling after her.
"Hey! Watch it!" Hissed skylit as she tumbled on the blue-grey Tom.
"Sorry, I didn't see you there." Shadowkit mumbled
"Look before you leap, birdbrain. I would be surprised if fallowstar even gave you a good name!" skykit retorted why do I have to be his sister?
She really wanted to be a warrior, but she wasn't sure if she was meant to be one. She couldn't hunt, or fight.
"Stupid legs." Shadowkit mewed under her breath. She dragged her legs off skykit, and to the fresh kill pile. She looked through the pile and eventually chose a small minnow. She carried the minnow to a niche in the wall and ate it there. She saw fallowstar walking slowly and turning her head side by side as if she was looking for something. She then looked at me
"Ah! There you are!" She called. She walked over and told me she wanted to talk to me "alone" so I followed her into her den underneath the highrock.
"What did you want to talk about?" I mewed softly
"Well, it's about your apprenticeship. I can't make you a medicine cat, because harveypaw is already her apprentice. But if you're a warrior… Well…" Fallowstar got cut off
"Because I'm useless and can't hunt or fight." Shadowkit mewed stubbornly.
"You were just born strange. You can still be useful as a medicine cat, but that role is taken. I have been thinking about it, and I thought that maybe you could just try and train as a warrior, or if that proved to be too difficult, you and harveypaw could switch, because he never really seemed to fond of being a medicine cat. What do you say?" Fallowstar mewed kindly
"I want to try and be a warrior." Shadowkit mewed softly.
"Very well then" fallowstar sighed "off you go then" Shadowkit nodded and slipped out of the den to finish her minnow. She couldn't help but feel someone watching her while she was talking with fallowstar. When she finished her minnow, she stood up to stretch, and she stepped out.
"Wait up!" She heard shinekit shout. Before Shadowkit could react, shinekit tumbled onto the black she-kit
"Ack! Sorry, I didn't see you!" Shinekit mewed. "Stormkit wanted to show me something."
"It's ok." Shadowkit mumbled. She dragged her legs to the nursery. She crawled into the hole to take a quick nap. Might as well. She thought. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"Wake up Shadowkit! Fallowstar is making a clan meeting!" She heard shinekit purr happily.
"Shinekit, for the last time, let her rest!" She heard whitefang mew with annoyance edging her voice.
"Ughhhh ok I'm up what is it about" Shadowkit mumbled
"I don't know. Let's find out!" Shinekit purred exitedly. Shadowkit lazily walked over to the hole in the nursery wall. They had stupid contests here when they were younger, like "who can fit the most rocks in the hole", or "who can fit through the hole" Shinekit had always won that contest.
"Move over mumblekit!" Skykit hissed as he shoved her aside to stare through the hole. At least I can still hear the meeting, Right? She thought.
"Today, we have a new medicine cat amongst us!" Fallowstar mewed as her voice echoed around the rocks. "Harveymoon!" Harveymoon purred. All the gathered cats cheered and purred loud enough that she thought Marshclan could hear it. "harveymoon! Harveymoon! Harveymoon!" The gathered cats cheered, his mother, rosepetal, cheering loudest of all.
"Wow! He totally deserved it too! Remember that one time when I got a thorn in my pad and he got it out! Oh yeah! And he also…" Shadowkit didn't hear the last of what Shinekit said because she had fallen asleep again, but instead of waking up again with the sunlight spilling into the nursery, she saw starclan.
"You are the shadow to rise against the fury of the dark forest." She heard a voice coming from behind her. She whipped around and saw a dusty brown she-cat.
"Who are you?!" Shadowkit hissed. Her scent smelled half like marshclan. Maybe she was from when there were four clans in the forest.
"I'm briarlight, of thunderclan." said the she-cat.
