Blossomkit winced as Ashbreeze called out for Leafheart, the medicine cat. "Her eyes," Ashbreeze whimpered, "they're...weird!" Blossomkit's heart dropped as she heard a hint of disappointment in her mother's voice. Badgerkit had a worried look on his face as Leafheart checked Blossomkit. The brown tabby she-cat sighed. "Remember Cloudsnow, Ashbreeze? Your mother's sister?" Leafheart asked. Ashbreeze nodded. "Remember the sickness she had called 'Blindeyes'?" Ashbreeze nodded once more. Leafheart relplied, "I think that's what your daughter has." Ashbreeze gasped. Blossomkit meowed worriedly, "What does that mean?" "Come, Blossomkit, and i will tell you the story of Cloudsnow..." Leafheart meowed as she picked Blossomkit up. As they walked to Leafheart's den, the tabby she-cat meowed, "Cloudsnow was born with eyes like yours - one pale green, one crystal blue. She was a brave kit, though, once defeating a ThunderClan apprentice. Since we are ShadowClan, we have to face the lies of other Clans. Anyway..." Leafheart dropped Blossomkit next to a small pool of water, "look at your eyes. Cloudsnow had the same eyes...when she was a kit. And...i'm sad to say that she was blind through most of her apprenticeship. Cats...started to abandon her. Only the leader, at that time - Stormstar - took care of her. And when she was finally a warrior, she became mates with him, and soon became deputy." Blossomkit's ears perked up. Deputy? Was she one day going to be deputy? "Am i going to be deputy?" Leafheart purred. "Maybe Dawnstar will chose you. Remember, Snaketooth is the deputy now. So maybe he will chose you."
Blossomkit purred softly, then looked at her reflection. Leafheart was right. Her left eye was crystal blue, like her mother's, then her right eye was a very pale green. 'Will i really have to be blind?' The gray she-kit thought. She closed her eyes and shook her pet. "Can i still be a warrior, though?" She asked. Leafheart chuckled. "Of course. It just might take longer then your brother, though." Blossomkit breathed, relveived. 'I can do that...yes, i can do that...'
The next day, while Blossomkit was playing with a moss-ball, a warrior named Stoneblaze came over. "Are you old enough to eat mice, yet?" the gray-and-ginger warrior asked. Blossomkit blinked and looked up. "Oh, yes sir," she mewed. He dropped the mouse at her paws, "Here." Blossomkit meowed a 'Thanks', then began eating. If her Clan already cared about her, then a sickness called 'Blindeyes' shouldn't be a problem...right?
