I woke up in the nursery. Obviously. I mean, where else would I wake up? For some reason, there was a mouse and water near me. Silvermist and my siblings didn't like me, neither did Echosong, the Thunderclan medicine cat. Lilyheart did, so maybe she put it there. I reached out to get the mouse when a voice behind me said, "Oh thank Starclan! You're awake!" It was Lilyheart. Of course. "Someone put deathberries in the mouse Silvermist gave you! We all thought you were dead." She continued.
"Wait." I inturrupted. "Who's we?"
"Silvermist and Echosong, of course. Although, Silvermist seemed very... I don't know what you could say about her attitude. So, do you feel okay? Do you need anything? Ummm... Do you..." I stopped listening. If there's one thing I learned from staying the nursery all day, it's that Lilyheart could talk until Sunhigh. Now, I didn't want to eat that mouse. I might die... Like I almost did just now. I was starving, but was it better to eat deathberries than starve? Nope. Then something Lilyheart said caught my attention.
"...Sleeping for four days! That's a really long time."
"Wait. I've been sleeping for four days?" I interrupted Lilyheart again.
"Yeah. And we thought you were dead! I was really-" Lilyheart said, before I changed the topic, interrupting her once again.
"So, do you think I'll become an apprentice in four moons?" I asked.
"It's hard to tell. Only me, Silvermist, Wishkit and Mistkit know about you." She replied, but when she saw the sad look on my face, she added, "Don't worry, maybe we'll tell Snowystar about you and you'll become an apprentice." Lilyheart really knows how to be encouraging, because I feel better now. I looked around the nursery and noticed that we were the the only cats in here, apart for Lilyheart's kits.
"Where are Mistkit and Wishkit?"
"Oh, they're with Beechtail. She's teaching them some hunting moves. Hey, I could teach you some!" Lilyheart said.
"Sure!" I agreed. "Now?"
"Of course. So crouch down like this and keep your tail up, but not so high that the prey will see you coming." She demonstrated the move and I copied it. Except I spread my wings out when I did it. Lilyheart said I did pretty good for my first time and I'm proud. I learned how to hunt, or at least part of it. Then Lilyheart showed me a bird stalking technique. After a few tries, (Few as in like 30) I pretty much got the move covered. Lilyheart told me that my wings would be useful for catching birds. They can fly, I can fly. She also told me that I could make up my own moves that use my wings. So I made up some bird stalking moves that included my wings. It was a lot of fun.
But, as always, all good things must come to an end. When I was practicing one of the moves I made up, Silvermist, Wishkit and Mistkit came back. Silvermist growled at me. "What are you doing, monster?"
"Yeah, what?" Wishkit asked, "You look like you're being chased by a big lion!" Her brother, my brother, laughed. "Good one, Wishkit." I wondered how that joke was funny. It sounded very very lame.
"Stop being rude to Dawnkit, you two." Lilyheart scolded, "Go take a nap." Mistkit muttered something rude and the two siblings walked to their mossbeds. Silvermist whispered something to Lilyheart that sounded like, "My kits did nothing wrong." And walked away. I thanked Lilyheart, and just then, guess who came in? Echosong. She told Lilyheart something I couldn't hear. Then, Echosong gave me a poppy seed so I could sleep while she 'examined' me. I ate the poppy seed and fell into a deep sleep. The last thing I remembered was Echosong saying,
"We need to do something about this, it scares me."
