Redkit sat alone in the corner. She saw Graykit and Flamekit play fighting and trotted towards them. She pounced, her paws slamming into Graykit. The gray tom looked at her scathingly. "Redkit, really!? You're just a blue eye!" Flamekit scoffed. "Yeah, go away little blue eye." Redkit drew herself up to her maximum height. "Say that again, you entitled fox-dung!" she spat.
Graykit smirked. "Sure. Blue eye. You're worthless, Redkit! Just leave already!" he hissed. Redkit walked away, her tail twitching. "Sure. I didn't want to talk to you anyway!" she snarled, walking away.
Redkit could feel her brother's hot glares on her. The dark ginger she-kit chose to ignore Flamekit though, and went to talk to Shinekit, who was a black, blue-eyed she-kit who had been born just a moon ago.
The black kit saw Redkit, and her eyes brightened. "Hi Redkit!" Shinekit purred. "Hello!" Redkit mewed in response. The two she-cats began sharing tongues. "It's so unfair!" Redkit hissed. "What makes my brothers soooo much better than me!? It's just eyes for StarClan's sake!" she cried. Shinekit shrugged with a hiss. "My siblings act superior too! And they're just amber and yellow eyes, I can't imagine have green eye siblings..." the young kit mewed sympathetically.
Redkit sighed. "Why does it even matter anyways! It doesn't matter for any other cats, so why does it matter so much to our stupid leaders!?" she snarled, her brilliant blue eyes bright with passion and anger. Within the two moons she had lived, her mother hadn't even glanced at her ever since Redkit had opened her eyes. It didn't matter how much the red tabby pleaded and yowled, her mother would just stubbornly ignore her every time.
Redkit unsheathed her claws. "I'll show them." she snarled, her voice full to the brim with bitterness and hatred. "I WILL show everyone what a blue eyed cat can do!" The red she-cat exclaimed, getting to her paws. Shinekit was staring at her friend, eyes wide. "Redkit, I... Well, it's just not possible." Redkit whipped around, tail lashing. "It is possible! I will show them, and you, and everyone who doesn't believe in me!"
"From this moment on, until you recieve your warrior name, you shall be known as Redpaw." Fernstar declared. The leader's eyes, which were green, of course, seemed to stare into Redpaw's soul. "Your mentor will be Moonwhisper." the dappled she-cat said at last. Redpaw touched noses with Moonwhisper without a hint of hesitation. The red she-cat still held onto the dream she had had for four moons now, and she was eager to prove herself to her new mentor.
"Flamekit, Graykit, are you ready to become apprentices?" Fernstar asked, eyes glittering with much more warmth then when she had been addressing Redpaw, the new apprentice realized bitterly. "Yes!" the two toms yowled, their green eyes shining with anticipation. "Then from this moment on, until you receive your warrior names, you will be known as Flamepaw and Graypaw. Flamepaw, your mentor will be Beechclaw." Beechclaw padded forwards and touched noses with Flamepaw.
"Graypaw," Fernstar continued, "I shall mentor you." she purred, and leaped down from highrock to touch noses with her new apprentices. Every cat in the clan exchanged shocked expressions, while Graypaw smirked cockily. Redpawt's tail began lashing, and her fur was heating up. "Pay no mind to them. You have to learn to be more obedient." Moonwhisper murmured to the red tabby apprentice.
"Obedient?" Redpaw hissed. "I will never be obedient to those fox-hearts!" she exclaimed quietly, with her blue eyes seeming less like water and ice and more like blue flames. Moonwhisper shrugged. "Suit yourself, kit, but I assure you you won't become a warrior with that kind of attitude." Redpaw's fur bristled in anger. Her brothers weren't any better than her! She was stronger, faster and smarter than the both of them, and the clan would see that soon enough.
