Honeykit's POV
I woke up to the world of blackness. Nothing changes while I sleep or when I'm awake. "Mom, when will she open her eyes?" I heard Oakkit complain. "Don't force it," Mama replied softly. "You open your eyes when you're ready, darling" she murmured to me. I purred and snuggled up closer to her.
Later when I woke up, I decided I was ready to see the world. I forced my eyelids open and the world came in an exploding light. I embraced the light, and I saw the world around me. I saw my siblings playing outside and my mama lying down carefully watching them. "Mama?" I asked. She spun around. "Sun-" she started. I tilted my head confused. She took a deep breath and restarted. "Honeykit, you've opened your eyes!" she purred.
I smiled. She studied my eyes for a moment before I interrupted the silence. "What color are my eyes?" I asked eagerly after noticing her soft deep blue eyes. "You have brilliant blue eyes, wait here a moment please." She meowed quickly before jumping up and heading over to a den. I debated following her but in the end I chose to be an obedient kit and stayed put.
When she returned she had another cat with her. She was silver with bright green eyes, once she reached me she smiled warmly. "I'm Mintdream, and you are Honeykit, correct?" she introduced herself and asked me. "Yep, that's me!" I replied. Mintdream laughed, but when I looked over at Mama her face was stern and full of concern. When I looked closer at Mintdream, her eyes were also holding concern.
"I need to check something and I need you to be a good kit and listen," Mintdream meowed before padding over to where I stood. "Okay, I need you to close your left eye," she meowed. I closed my left eye, nothing really changed. "Is it any different?" she asked. "Not really," I said honestly. Mama closed her eyes tightly and Mintdream gave a sad sigh.
"Ravensong, I'm afraid Honeykit is blind in her left eye." Mintdream confirmed.
Ravensong's POV
My heart skipped a beat, though when I saw her left eye, cloudy and pale, I knew that something was wrong.
"Thank you Mintdream," I murmured. The she cat dipped her head and left. "What does that mean Mama?" Honeykit asked clearly confused. "Honeykit, it means you can't see out of your left eye," I answered sadly.
"Does this mean I won't be able to be a warrior?" Honeykit asked suddenly looking sad. "N-no, you just will need special training," I meowed. Suddenly an idea sparked in my mind. "Honeykit, I want you to go and play with the others." I meowed.
Honeykit nodded and joined, Oakkit, Sootkit, Nightkit, and Foxkit.
I watched from the nursery. For the first time in a long time, my mind hadn't been on Fallenleaf. It had been 3 weeks since he left so the kits were only 1 week old.
When Oakkit opened his eyes, he was the first. He had the same copper eyes as Fallenleaf had on his left eye.
Next Nightkit opened her eyes, they were deep blue, just like mine. They always shone with eagerness of an adventure.
Sootkit then opened his eyes the next day after Nightkit and Oakkit. His eyes were an icy blue. They were not a cold icy, in fact he was the careful one, he was always the first to ask if someone was ok and rushed over to help.
Finally Honeykit opened her eyes. Her one good eye looked exactly like Sunpaw's eyes, and her golden dappled pelt was exactly the same as Sunpaw's. It made me feel as if Sunpaw was right next to me. But I knew Honeykit wouldn't harm a soul.
After lunch, all five kits went to the elders, seeking stories. I hoped they didn't tell them about Sunpaw. Luckily the kits came back; they were asking if Firestar was actually a real cat. I purred and told them yes. "But it's time for bed," I told them. "ugh," they all groaned. "I'm not-" Honeykit started but mid sentence yawned. "-tired at all" she meowed and yawned again. I purred. "You clearly are, you need rest anyway.
"Foxkit will soon be Foxpaw!" Oakkit meowed out of the blue. Foxkit blushed. I nodded my head. It was amazing how much the kit had grown from when I first met him; he had learned the warrior code word-for-word too!
The kits soon fell asleep in a heap and so did I.
I woke up in black nothingness. "Thistleclaw!" I called. The scene suddenly changed and there was Thistleclaw waiting for me. I purred and hugged the tom. "Glad you came back," Thistleclaw meowed. "I needed your help," I mewed. Thistleclaw nodded. "I know, but what with?" He asked tilting his head. "Honeykit's blind in one eye, can you give her special training, she really wants to be a warrior," I meowed, almost begging him. "Of course," He answered.
"But before you start I need to set some rules," I meowed. "Mothers," Thistleclaw muttered. I laughed, "First, don't use claws, only if she comfortable with it," I started. Thistleclaw nodded. "Teach her not just fighting, but hunting as well and please don't teach her how to kill" I finished. "Of course," he meowed.
"Promise?" I asked.
"I promise," he replied softly.
"Start tomorrow night, and be kind with her, don't frighten her." I meowed
"Alright, I'll do my best" Thistleclaw replied nodding his head.
We sat in silence for a little but then with a flick of his ear, Thistleclaw smiled. "What?" I asked.
"You must go, someone is here." He smiled and my surroundings faded fast, I soon opened my eyes to the familiar darkness of the nursery. I felt someone or some cats moving around camp. "Stay here," I murmured to my kits when I woke them by standing up. They looked frightened but Foxkit shooed them to a corner of the nursery and stood beside them
I stepped out of the nursery, my black pelt blended in with the night. There was a group of cats, with scents I never smelled before, arriving from the forest. "Who's goes there?" I called to them. They froze and turned to me.
An elderly tan tom stepped forward, his pale green eyes shone with wisdom. "We are the Paws of Truth, we come in peace." The tom meowed and bowed. I opened my mouth to speak but the tom beat me to it. "Are you Ravensong?" the tom asked, looking at someone in the crowd. I couldn't see who it was but I was shocked that he knew my name. "Um, yes…" I mewed frowning. A suddenly cat broke from the crowd,
He sprinted toward me, his run was somehow familiar…
He crashed into me and pinned me down, not battle-like but friendly and happily. The tom looked at me smiling the biggest smile I had ever seen. His different eyes shone in the moonlight and his amber pelt glistened under the stars.
I smiled, tears leaking out of my eyes. "Fallenleaf," I whispered licking his cheek. "Your home," I meowed, I was the happiest she cat in the world.
