ON WITH THE CHAPTER
…
I opened my eyes to find my father's two green eyes staring at me. I jerked my head back in surprise. Sootwind smiled and nudged me onto my feet. I looked around the nursery. Everyone was gone except for Cherrykit.
Oh ya, we were grounded. I sighed and looked at my father. I stood up and stretched. "You two can leave the nursery tomorrow, for today, you have to stay here," he said. I nodded my head without looking at him and perked my ears up.
A loud yowl rang in the nursery. Sootwind turned around and looked at the tunnel entrance. I scented the air. An unfamiliar scent filled my senses. "Rockclan is attacking," I heard Runningstorm yowl.
My father rushed outside of the nursery. I ran next to Cherrykit, who was at the back of the nursery. "What's happening," she said frantically. I ignored her question and stared at the tunnel entrance. Acornkit and Stormkit bolted inside the nursery. Their eyes were wide and full of shock.
They were panting heavily. I noticed a cut on Stormkit's side. "What happened," I asked. "A Rockclan cat scratched me," he said shakily. Acornkit had his tiny claws unsheathe and his ears flattened. They bolted next to me and Cherrykit. I heard yowling and painful screeches.
Forestwind and Dawnmist came bolting inside. They had scratches here and there, but they were fine. They sat near us and circled us with their tails. A nasty scent filled my nose. Blood. A cat came struggling inside the nursery. It clearly wasn't a Breezeclan cat. It was a cream colored tom and he had light brown patches. His pale blue eyes looked deadly.
"Stumpytail, what is the meaning of this," my mother growled. Stumpytail, I looked at his tail and noticed it was really short. "We heard that you had a curse one, it will affect all of us if it isn't executed," he growled. His voice was deep and scratchy.
His pale blue eyes glared at me. "You will not touch her," my mother snarled. I noticed her claws unsheathed and her ears were flattened. "Ok I won't touch her," Stumpytail growled sarcastically. He charged forward and Forestwind threw herself at him. They wrestled inside the small nursery. Dawnmist told us to stay in the corner of the nursery. She sat near us protectively.
I saw Stumpytail pin my mother down. He lifted his unsheathed claws and I saw him aiming for her throat. "No!" I yowled and leapt onto his back. I sunk my tiny claws into his fur and he tried to shake me off. I held on and bit down. My teeth punctured through his skin and I tasted blood for the first time. I held on tight and heard him growl.
He slammed me against the nursery wall, crushing me. I yelped and let go. He turned around and was about to slash his claws at me. If it wasn't for Runningstorm, I would be wounded badly. He must have ran inside when I was attacking Stumpytail. They wrestled around the nursery.
Forestwind came to my side. I stared at the fighting toms and I licked the blood away from my mouth. I hated the taste and smell of it. Runningstorm pinned down Stumpytail and bit down on his ear. He yowled painfully and pushed off Runningstorm. Stumpytail ran outside.
"Rockclan retreat," I heard him yowl. Runningstorm ran through the tunnel. I stared at the tunnel. Stormkit, Acornkit, and Cherrykit ran next to me. "That was awesome," I heard Cherrykit exclaim. "You were brave," Acornkit said. Stormkit stayed silent.
"Where did you learn to do that," my mother whispered in my ear. I looked at her and shrugged. She sighed and licked the top of my head. I stood up and shook out my pelt. Sootwind came inside. He looked at my mother.
"Go see Honeysong, she will treat your wounds," he said to my mother. "You don't have to worry about me," she said. "But I do, now please go see Honeysong," Sootwind said. My mother padded next to him, nuzzled him, and left the nursery. "You ok Stormkit," he said.
"I think," Stormkit said. I looked at his cut, it was bleeding slightly. I helped him lick the blood away. He smiled and I turned towards my father. "You two can come out now," he sighed and went through the tunnel. I took a glance at the nursery. The nests were torn up and the walls had holes in them. I walked out of the nursery.
The sky was darkening and the sun was going down. I watched Stormstar leap onto the Meeting Hill. "We have emerged victorious in the attack of Rockclan. However, we have lost a life," she said. I looked around and saw Grassheart on the ground, laying still. It was the first time I saw a dead cat. I looked back up at Stormstar.
"Grassheart was a brave and loyal cat and we will never forget her. She now walks with Starclan. You may sit vigil for her," she concluded and leapt off the Meeting Hill. After the meeting, I saw Fernwind and Wildleaf sitting vigil for Grassheart. I sat outside the nursery, since the warriors were repairing it. Stormkit sat next to me.
"Want to go on the small hill outside the leaders den," he whispered to me. I nodded and followed him to the hill. We sat down and I faced the direction of the sunset. It filled the sky with orange and yellow colors. A chilly breeze went throughout camp and I shivered slightly.
Stormkit sat next to me and curled his tail around me, warming me up. "Thank you," I murmured. He smiled and looked at the sunset. "Why did Rockclan have to attack us, if they didn't, Grassheart could still be alive," I said.
I rested my head on his shoulder without noticing. "I don't know," he muttered. "Stumpytail said something about me," I muttered. "No he said about a curse," Stormkit said. "I am the curse Stormkit," I sighed. "Nobody needs me here, I will only cause trouble," I added.
"So I'm a nobody to you," Stormkit whispered. "No," I said and looked up at him, "why do you say that." "Well you said nobody needs you, I need you so that means I am a nobody to you," he said. I smiled. "No, you're not a nobody," I said. He smiled and nudged me.
I looked back at the sunset. I flicked my ear and heard running. I turned around and saw Acornkit running up to us. I sighed. I wanted to be alone with my only friend. Acornkit slowed down and nodded to us. "They said the nursery won't be finished until tomorrow, so we have to sleep outside," he said.
Stormkit nodded and stood up. I stood up as well and stretched. Acornkit ran back to Cherrykit, so Stormkit and I were alone. I glanced at him and followed him to the nursery. Dawnmist and Forestwind were curled up. Acornkit and Cherrykit were sleeping next to them. I looked around and saw my father walk to us.
Sootwind was smiling. I curled up next to Forestwind and Acornkit. Sootwind curled around my mother and his tail curled around me and Acornkit. I heard Forestwind purr and I fell asleep.
I opened my eyes and saw the sun rising up in the air. The air was cool and there were clouds in the sky. Not enough to form a storm, but enough to block out the sun. I sighed and stretched. I accidently pushed Acornkit. He groaned and rolled onto my back paw. I pushed him off and stood up. I saw Amberwind, Haildrop, Runningstorm, and Wildsong walk out of camp.
I stood up and padded to the tiny water hole. I took a drink of water and yawned. I watched Stormkit pad towards me. I smiled and walked to him. "Morning," he told me through a yawn. It sounded funny and I giggled. He crouched down and leapt at me. He toppled me over and pinned me down.
"Bow down to me, Stormstar, the future clan leader," he said. "Looks like I have some competition," I heard a voice purr. I looked past Stormkit and saw Stormstar sitting down. I smiled and pushed Stormkit off of me. "What was your warrior name," I asked.
"Stormcloud," she responded. "Cool," Stormkit exclaimed. I smiled and padded away from them. Acornkit was play-fighting with Cherrykit. The warriors were basking in the sun and Honeysong was outside the med-cat den. I sighed and walked back to Stormkit.
"There isn't anything to do today," I told him. He nodded and looked around camp. "Come on, let's go play with Cherrykit and Acornkit," he said. I nodded and followed him to the playing kits. We ran towards them.
I pinned down my brother and Stormkit pinned down Cherrykit. They both squealed. Stormkit and I giggled. Cherrykit frowned and Acornkit smiled. "We win," Stormkit said. "No fair, you guys sneaked attacked us," Cherrykit whined.
I sighed and got off of Acornkit. "What do you want to do," Acornkit asked us. Me and Stormkit shrugged. Cherrykit had a mischievous smile on her face. She leaned in and lowered her voice. "Want to sneak out of camp," she whispered. "I think the warriors and Stormstar had enough trouble already with the Rockclan attack," Acornkit said matter-of-factly.
"Maybe," Cherrykit said, "or maybe you're too scared." Acornkit frowned and huffed. "I just don't want to cause trouble is all," he said. Stormkit and I exchanged a knowing glance. We stared at each other while they argued. "Hello, are you two listening," Cherrykit said.
I looked at her and Stormkit shook his head a little. My pelt heated up and I looked at my paws. "I said what you two think," Cherrykit said. I continued staring at my paws. "I don't know," Stormkit said.
Cherrykit frowned and flicked her ear. "Fine, I will go by myself then," she said annoyed. She walked past us towards the camp entrance. Acornkit, Stormkit, and I sat down. I saw a glimpse of different colors outside of camp. I smiled. The patrol that left was coming back. Cherrykit bolted out of camp.
I looked at the two kits. They also knew that she will get caught. Moments later, Cherrykit was being carried into camp by Haildrop. She was frowning and staring at the floor. We burst into laughter when Haildrop set Cherrykit down. She shot us a glare and I saw her hide back a smile.
"Swiftkit come here, we need to talk to you," I heard my mother call me. I looked around and saw her, Sootwind, Birdsong, Honeysong, and Stormstar sitting near the water hole. I stood up and started walking towards them. I glanced back at Stormkit, who had a worried look on his face.
I sprinted towards them and nearly ran into Sootwind. I sat down and looked up at the older cats. "As you now, you have two colored eyes," Honeysong said, "we don't mean to scare you, but you are a curse to the clan Swiftkit." I sighed. "I know, I heard Stormstar talk to Forestwind about me being banished," I confessed.
I looked at Stormstar and she had sadness in her eyes. "It's ok, I just want what's best for the clan," I told them. Sootwind and Birdsong nodded. "Well, we will allow you to stay until the other kits become warriors. When it is their warrior ceremony, y-you will be banished," Stormstar stuttered.
I held back tears and nodded. No matter what happens, I will have to leave Breezeclan. I really just don't want to leave Stormkit. I shook my head and looked at the group. "Well, it's settled then," Birdsong spoke up.
I nodded and stood up. Sootwind was murmuring comforting words to my mother. At least they will have Acornkit. I padded back to the other kits. "What did they talk about," Cherrykit said. My eyes narrowed and I past her and went into the nursery. It was finished, so I curled up into the grass nest.
Acornkit came inside and sat down beside me. "Want to talk," he said. "I want to be alone," I muttered, fighting off tears. He sighed and left me alone with the silence of the nursery. My eyes clouded with tears and I couldn't hold them back. I let the tears fall off my cheek and I covered my face with my tail.
Minutes later, I heard rocks being kicked aside. Someone was inside the nursery. "I want to be alone Acornkit," I said through a sob. The cat sat down near me. My senses were messed up because of crying, so I couldn't scent who the cat was. "I said I want to be alone," I said and lifted my head.
Stormkit had his tail on my side. I sighed. "Oh it's you," I said trying to hide the fact that I was crying. "Don't cry please," he whispered. I shook my head and covered my face, once again, with my tail. I heard Stormkit sigh and he moved my tail out of the way. I looked at him with my mismatched colored eyes. They were still a little clouded with tears, but I could see him clearly.
He licked my cheek comfortably. "Don't cry," he whispered again. My pelt grew hot and I smiled. "There, you look prettier when you smile," Stormkit said with a smile. I sighed and stood up. "Might want to sit back down, it's almost time to go to sleep," he said. Acornkit, Cherrykit, Dawnmist, and Forestwind came into the nursery.
I sat back down. I leaned towards Stormkit's ear. "Thank you," I whispered. He nodded and went to his nest with Cherrykit and Dawnmist. Acornkit lie next to me and fell asleep quickly. I looked at Forestwind, her eyes were red. "Were you crying," I whispered. She gave me a weak smile and curled up next to me and Acornkit.
"I didn't mean for this to happen to you," she whispered in my ear. I nuzzled her and purred. "I will be fine," I said. She licked the top of my head and rested her head on her paws. I curled up closer to her and closed my eyes. I drifted off into a deep sleep.
