Thank you Icefeather! This story will probably be a little bit slow, because like I said, I take a while to come up with cats. And I'm attempting to make the chapters longer. But anyway, this chapter is…. Redkit in Fire Clan! Also, this chapter will be in first person because, why not? :D So, let the awesomeness begin!
It was so dark. Noises were everywhere, yelling the same thing over and over and over again. "Wake up! Wake up!" I clawed at my ears, trying to block out the noises. Finally, I had no choice but to obey.
My eyes slid open, and the first thing I could see was an amber eye, looking at me. "Thank Starclan." It muttered. Then turned away to someone I couldn't see. "He's alive!"
Suddenly, I felt myself being picked up by the scruff of my neck. I tried to twist around to see who it was, but all I could see was a flame red pelt.
"Hungry!" I mewed, feeling hunger gnaw at my stomach. "Milk!" I pawed feebly at the air, feeling uncomfortable about how I had no control over where I was going.
Suddenly, everything darkened and I felt closed in. I let out a small whimper to show my unease, then let my self hang loose.
I finally felt my paws touch solid ground, and I was relieved. But when I tried to stand up, my legs felt useless and limp, so I stopped before I fell over.
Instead, I turned around and stared at whoever carried me into this place. She had a beautiful flame pelt and deep brown eyes. Then I noticed another cat, off to the side, nosing around through a pile of leaves.
He had black fur and soft blue eyes. He looked quite small, possibly half the size of the other cat, but he looked like that didn't stop him doing anything, because in a matter of seconds, he was beside the she-cat, pushing some herbs towards me. I edged away, they smelt disgusting!
He simply pushed them towards me again, until I decided to eat them. I suddenly bent over, disgusted, trying to get the taste out of my mouth.
"Amberleaf, I know your worried, but you have to leave Redkit alone. You need to rest! The only reason I'm keeping him is because he was born late, okay?" I looked up to see the small black cat leading Amberleaf away.
I attempted to say something, but it just ended up as a pitiful mew. Giving up, I curled my tail around me and tried to go to sleep.
I felt something prodding me, making me wake up. I yawned and turned towards the cat that was poking me.
He snorted in surprise. "You have your eyes open already?"
I gave him a confused look and attempted to stand up. This time, I managed it, with a few wobbles. I looked around the cave I was in. "Where am I? Who are you?" I asked cautiously.
The cat smiled. "My name is Nightpelt, and you're in the medicine cats den. Your name is Redkit, your mother is Amberleaf and your father is Foxtail."
I looked around, confused. "How many cats are there in this den?" Nightpelt laughed. "They aren't in this den, they're around the camp. There are a lot of cats around here, but you don't need to know most of them for now, but anyway, its time for you to go back to the nursery."
He started forward to pick me up, but I stumbled backwards shaking my head, "No! I can walk!" I mewed.
He shook his head smiling, "No, no you can't."
And he picked me up anyway.
The second half of the chapter is basically what I imagine that a conversation with a newly born kit would be like. And yes, I know that kits aren't technically supposed to be able to see and talk this young, but this is my fanfiction and I can break the rules if I want! :D So, let me know if you prefer first person or third person writing, and if you enjoyed the chapter! In other words: REVIEW! PLEASE! I BEG YOU!
Keep reading!
