The small kit listened intently as voices began to pick up around her. "Shut up" a soft comforting voice snarled, the kit felt fur bristle beside her "She will open her eyes when she is good and ready". The kit opened her jaws meowing as a rough tongue began to wash over her pelt.
Another voice snorted irritably "All I'm saying is that she is taking an awfully long time" as the she-cat spoke her scent wafted over the kit, it smelled familiar and comforting as she recognized it as one of the scents that had surrounded her since birth. Her voice sounded similar to the she-cat that was washing her, but instead of the voice being comforting it was harsh and displeasing.
As the queens argued back and forth the tiny she-kit growled and thought to herself I'll open my eyes when I'm ready. What is so great out there that I'm missing out on? The world is nice and dark like this; it is exactly the way it has always been. I'm not ready for change.
Suddenly a tiny paw prodded her side "Come on Shimmerkit" another voice squeaked, Shimmerkit recognized it as the voice of her sister. She didn't know her name yet and she didn't know what she looked like, all she knew was the warmth of her sister's pelt and her sweet scent.
"Hush Shadowkit" the soft queen scolded softly, Shimmerkit felt a tail stroking her tail as Shadowkit began to complain. "But momma, Mosskit and Stonekit are outside already playing and I want to go too".
Once again Shimmerkit heard the harsh meow of the other queen "Maybe there is something wrong with her, I mean Shadowkit opened her eyes easily enough" she scoffed "And my two kits had their eyes open after six sunrises".
Shimmerkit flinched at the thought that something might be wrong with her Maybe I should just open my eyes, how scary can It be? And once I do I will be able to see Shadowkit and Momma. The soft queen's soft voice suddenly became harsh as she came to the Shimmerkit's defense "There is nothing wrong with Shimmerkit, and who could think to compare to your kits Silverstreak" she spat the words and her fur bristled.
Shimmerkit felt Shadow kit press her flank encouragingly against her "Come on Shimmerkit, momma won't let me go out and explore without you" she purred. Shimmerkit nodded shakily; as she opened her eyes she was relieved to see the light was dim in the nursery, making it easy to adjust to this world of sights and color.
Shimmerkit blinked repeatedly as her eyes adjusted and she turned her gaze to look at Shadowkit first. She blinked in confusion, her sister looked nothing like she had imagined. Shadowkit had a pelt that was as dark as the world had been before she had opened her eyes but she also had white ear tips and her chestfur was white.
The soft queen's voice sounded again and as she spoke Shimmerkit turned toward the voice.
"Look" the black and white tortoiseshell queen meowed "She has the same eyes as Shadowkit" she purred "Hello Shimmerkit, I'm Tansystalk". Hearing a snort Shimmerkit turned to see a slender silver and black queen, which she assumed was Silverstreak.
Shimmerkit felt a small paw prod her side again and turned to swipe at Shadowkit "Hey" she growled "Stop doing that". Shadowkit easily ducked from her flailing paw and crouched to the ground shaking her hackles.
"None of that in here" Tansystalk scolded, she flicked her tail towards the nursery entrance "Go outside to play, and don't get in the way" she called as the two kits scampered toward the nursery entrance.
Both she-kits tried to squeeze out at once, the bramble thorns digging into their sides as they got stuck. A squeak sounded behind them "Why don't you try going out one at a time" the voice teased.
Shimmerkit scooted backwards feeling the brambles tear at her fur, turning around she saw another kit. He was slightly larger than her and he had a light gray and sand colored pelt. His underbelly and underfur was a pale ginger while he had dark black tabby stripes slashing his pelt and a dark black tail tip.
Shimmerkit licked her ginger pelt in embarrassment while Shadowkit stared at him, her eyes bright and wide.
The tom stepped closer to them, his bright yellow eyes glinting curiously "My name is Sunkit" he meowed, his whiskered twitching.
Shadowkit scuffed her forepaw on the nursery floor "I'm Shadowkit" she meowed, flicking her tail tip in the direction of Shimmerkit "And that's Shimmerkit" as she spoke a large golden queen squeezed through the bramble entrance.
Her green eyes were bright as she saw the three kits "Good morning Shadowkit, Shimmerkit" she purred "It's nice to see you with your eyes open, they are so lovely" she commented, giving Sunkit a brisk lick over the ears before padding deeper into the nursery.
Sunkit flicked his ears, "That was my mother Dawnpool" he explained. Shadowkit purred, staring at him, her eyes bright and moony. Shimmerkit growled "I thought we were going to explore the camp" she meowed irritably.
Shadowkit scuffed her paws, embarrassed, "Oh yeah" she meowed "Let's go" she turned her ice blue gaze to Sunkit "Do you wanna come?" she meowed. Shimmerkit growled slightly but breathed a sigh of relief as Sunkit declined the offer.
"No thanks, I was already out there this morning" he turned and trotted towards his mother.
Shimmerkit trotted through the bramble entrance followed closely by Shadowkit. As she emerged from the bramble tunnel, she was blinded by the sunlight.
Shadowkit scampered past Shimmerkit, her black fluffy pelt sticking out in the snow covered ground. Shimmerkit raced after her but not before skidding under a blue she-cat's paws.
"Hey watch where you're going" she snapped, her fur fluffed out as the kits nearly bowled her over. "Sorry" Shimmerkit yowled over her shoulder, kicking up snow under her paws as she followed her sister.
A smoky white and gray she-cat cat purred "They are just kits Raindapple". The blue she-cat shook her snow covered pelt "Then they should be in the nursery" she snorted "Not getting in the way of the warriors".
Shadowkit was sitting next to two gray cats; they were a lot larger than her but their fluffy pelts betrayed that they were still kits. The three kits were intently watching a large black tom showing a battle move to a smaller blue gray apprentice.
Shimmerkit scampered over, sitting next to Shadowkit "Who's that?" she hissed. Shadowkit leaned closer to her "That's Duskheart and his apprentice Bluepaw" she whispered, one of the gray kits turned to look at Shimmerkit and Shadowkit "I'm Stonekit" the gray tom added.
The silver she-kit next to him turned to look at them, her soft blue eyes narrowed when her brother failed to introduce her "And I'm Mosskit" she snorted. Shadowkit ignored Mosskit and went on to tell Shimmerkit everything she had learned so far.
"Gorsefur is Mosskit and Stonekit's father, and Duskheart is Sunkit's father" her eyes beamed as she mentioned Sunkit.
"Who is our father?" Shimmerkit whispered, Shadowkit shrugged "I don't know". Mosskit turned and looked around the camp "There" she pointed to a large light ginger tom with lighter ginger stripes, and dull blue eyes "That's him, Rowanflight"
Shimmerkit looked at the tom for a moment, his pelt was dusty and his eyes were dull, his shoulders were slumped forward and he stared down at a half-eaten pigeon that lay at his paws.
Suddenly Shimmerkit heard Tansystalk's soft meow behind her "Come on kits, let's get all of you back to the nursery, it's too cold to stay out here" as she spoke Shimmerkit realized how tired she felt, her paws dragged as she followed Tansystalk back to the nursery and her eyes drooped in exhaustion.
Tansystalk lay down in her nest and Shadowkit curled up next to her, Shimmerkit padded over, tucking her paws under her chest "Can you tell us why Rowanflight is so sad?" she asked quietly.
AN: I hope you enjoyed the chapter :D RRR love you guys.
