Chapter 1:
Warmth surrounded me as I snuggled deep into soft fur, the gentle vibrations of purring filled my body, loving blue eyes looked down on me."good morning" a quiet voice whispered in my ear. "has he opened his eyes yet?" my brother whined. "he'll open them when he's ready Smokekit" Mother replied. "come on Ravenkit, I wanna go outside and play but Snowfrost won't let me until you open your eyes" Smokekit grumbled, swatting at my ear. "Hey!" I yelled at him, lashing my tail. "Did you hear that?" Smokekit asked mother, confused. Snowfrost also wore a confused expression "it sounded like a fox, but it came from Ravenkit..." She said worriedly. 'Fox?' I wondered.
My thoughts were cut off as Smokekit exclaimed "fox?! He can speak fox?! awesome!" 'what is a fox?' I questioned myself. "Hush Smokekit, don't tell anyone about this ok? My mother whispered, keeping an eye on the nursery entrance."but why not?" Smokekit echoed my thoughts. "Being able to speak another her language is not normal, if the rest of the clan ever found out..." Snowfrost shivered "I'd hate to think what might happen." I froze in surprise, trying to understand, I came to a simple conclusion; ' I could speak two languages?'
I slowly opened my eyes and blinked in the harsh sunlight. The nursery was HUGE, before it felt small and cozy but now... Now it was a different story. I looked beside me, a grey and white kit that looked about the same age of me was sitting on the edge of our nest, talking to my mother. 'that must be Smokekit' I thought to myself. Turning my gaze to my mother, I found that she was no ordinary she-cat, Snowfrost's fluffy pelt was light grey and white, very similar to Smokekit's. Snowfrost turns to look at me, her blue eyes widened as she saw me looking around the den. "Ravenkit, you've opened your eyes!" Mother and Smokekit chorused happily.
"Can we go outside now?" Smokekit begged, pawing at our mossy nest. Snowfrost hesitated, looking at us worriedly "only if you stay together" She mewed, washing her already shinning pelt. Smokepaw slowly lead me out of the nursery, winding past the nests littered around the den. Voices from outside became louder and louder as we stepped proudly out of the nursery, the harsh light momentarily blinded me as the sun shone down into the camp.
My eyes slowly adjusted, allowing me to see my surroundings. We were in quite a large hollow, dens that were weaved together by brambles stood around the sides, creating large shelters for cats to sleep in. A large rock stood to one side of the hollow, there was a clear path to the top, allowing a cat to climb to the top. This was most likely where the leader sat to make announcements to the clan, sometimes mother would leave us to attend them, she would often tell us about them after, especially if there was an apprentice or warrior ceremony. My green eyes shone with delight, I could finally attend these ceremonies now!
"Ravenkit, you shall now be know as Ravenpaw" yowled Smokekit from a small rock jutting out of the nursery floor. I sniggered "all hail the mighty Smokestar! I mewed tauntingly, bowing my head towards my brother. Smokekit glared at me and continued "your mentor will be Mistyleaf!" I growled, lashing my tail "Mistyleaf's a medicine cat! I'm going to be warrior!" I yowled at him angrily. "Oh Ravenpaw heal me, heal me!" Smokekit meowed dramatically, dropping onto the floor.
I leapt, soaring over Smokekit's head and landing on his back. I held on tight, careful not to prick him with my sharp claws, the wriggling fur ball finally gave up as he realized he couldn't shake me off, and I yowled triumphantly "I win!" Smokekit turned to look at me with narrowed eyes. "I got board of playing with you, that's all" he growled, promptly walking out of the nursery. I didn't care, I had finally won!
So that was the first chapter of Choices of Flight. What did you guys think? Feel free to ask questions about the story or give me feedback that I can use to improve story yay even more! My goal for this story is to get from 700 to 1000 words per chapter, though this may make it longer to update it will make the story more worthy of both your time to read it and my time to write it, please post your opinions on this as well as your questions. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter! Will update again soon! Enjoy! -Tiger
