"Do you need anything?"
"I'm fine Pineheart, stop worrying."
"And the kits?"
"They're suppose to open their eyes anytime now. Why don't you stay for a while?"
I hear voices and smell the familiar smell of my mother as I wake up from a nap. Squirming, I hesitantly open my eyes.
"Hey little one, did you finally decide to open your eyes?" A large face hovers over me, gazing at me lovingly. My father. I let out a little mew and bashfully snuggle closer to my mother, who licks me on the head.
"Well someone's a little shy. Let's see if your sister Honeykit is awake yet."
My ears perk up. I know Honeykit means the small furry ball that I share my mother with. I wobble over to her and nudge her, falling on her in the process.
Honeykit jerks awake with with a squeak and her eyes flick open.
"Hello!" I mew brightly.
Honeykit blinks and replies "H-hi..."
"Pineheart! Hunting patrol!" A gray head pokes into the nursery. "Hello Fadinglight. I see the kits are finally up and about. We'll wait by the camp entrance Pineheart."
"I'm coming," my father nuzzles my mother and rushes out.
I turned towards my mother and stare at her silvery face and sparkly eyes.
"What is Honeykit?" I ask.
"Honeykit is your sister's name," she replies gently.
"What's my name?" I wonder.
"Your name is Volekit."
Volekit. I like it.
