"Icekit," Purred a young brown and cream queen, Birdwing, "Hurry up, Icekit. Get up." Commanded Birdwing in a stern voice.
A pure white she-kit with icy blue eyes stumbled over to Birdwing, "Yes, mother?" Said Icekit, in a fake sweet voice, Icekit always talked to her mother like this, mainly because her mother and father favoured her older brothers more than her, and sometimes she didn't even think that Icekit was apart of her family. Her father, Thistleclaw, was a brown tabby with hazel eyes, and her mother, Birdwing, was a pretty light brown and cream she-cat with blue eyes and her two brothers, Pinekit and Adderkit, both looked like their dad but Adderkit was a plain mud-brown tom with brown eyes. Whilst Icekit was a pure, snow white she-kit with icy, blue crystal eyes, Icekit had once confronted her mother about her different coat and eyes, but her mother simply said "You're a special she-kit, Icekit" but Icekit didn't believe her, but she didn't push it.
"Be a dear and go get your brothers," Meowed her mother, "They're outside, sparing with Thistleclaw" Icekit sighed, her brothers were and had always been better fighters and hunters, they mastered the hunting crouch in one single day, and they always seem to beat Icekit when they're play fighting. That was probably one of the reasons why Thistleclaw and Birdwing, well the whole clan, favoured her brothers over her.
Icekit nodded, padded outside of the marshy nursery and went looking for her brothers. Icekit trotted over to the centre of the camp, where her brothers and father was. Pinekit and Adderkit were sparring, Pinekit was leaping up in the air and landed on Adderkit's tail, and bit down on it. Icekit didn't know if Pinekit actually bit Adderkit hard, but truthfully, Icekit didn't want to know. "Guys, mum wants you." And with that Icekit turned around and strutted over towards the nursery, her feeling may have been hurt, but her pride was still there. Walking over to her nest, Icekit laid down and snuggled into her nest, "Icekit," Birdwing snapped, "Where are your brothers? I thought I made it quite clear, I want them here!" Icekit glared at her mother and motioned with her tail towards the nursery entrance, where her two brothers were standing, along with Thistleclaw. "Ah, my precious babies. How was training?" Cooed Birdwing, Icekit's two brothers purred and nuzzled their mother, "Fine mum! Me and Adderkit are going to be the best warriors in the forest!" Exclaimed Pinekit, "Yeah!" Agreed Adderkit, "We'll make you proud!" They both squeaked together. Birdwing purred, "Of course you will darlings!" Mothered Birdwing, "But tomorrow you will be apprentices, remember? And then the next thing you know you'll both be legendary warriors!" Icekit rolled her eyes, yes, tomorrow they would become apprentices, but they won't become legendary warriors over night, anyway Pinekit and Adderkit would make sure they got the best mentors, and would probably make a big fuss if they didn't. Ignoring her family, Icekit drifted off into a peaceful sleep, dreading for tomorrow. Life was so unfair!
