Chapter 1
"Why hasn't she opened her eyes yet?" Is the first thing she heard when she woke up.
" Patience Leaftail, she will open her eyes when she wants to." Another voice said. Her mother. 'Yes.' She thought, 'when I want to and I'm ready.'
"Mine opened their eyes only a day after they were born. Yours is taking moons!" The other cat said, the one called Leaftail.
"There is nothing wrong with Frostkit, and besides you can't compare them to Foxkit and Plumkit, every queen thinks her kits are perfect, Leaftail." Her mother sighed. 'Maybe I do want to open my eyes, yes. I want to see the world now.' She thought.
She blinked. The world sure was bright. "Mama?" She asked looking around for her mother. She was used to following the sound of her mother's voice but now that her mother wasn't talking she couldn't find her!
She looked around and saw two cats.
"There, you see? Frostkit is perfectly normal." One said. She recognized that one as her mother and buried her face in her mother's fur.
" Mama, it's too bright out here! I want to go back in the dark." She squealed.
"Now now sweetheart, you'll get used to it. Why don't you go outside and explore camp? Everyone has been waiting to meet you and so are your sisters." Her mother replied. 'Her sisters, she wanted to meet them. Yes. She would go outside the nursery and see her clanmates and the camp. It was time to go out.'
She blinked and stepped outside of the nursery, 'wow, it's even brighter out here' she thought to herself 'I wonder why.' As her eyes were beginning to adjust to the bright light 2 small shapes barreled into her and knocked her over.
"Yay she opened her eyes finally!" One said. That was Nightkit. Frostkit recognized the sound of her voice.
"Calm down Nightkit. She has just come out of the nursery, she doesn't need you knocking her over first thing." The other said. That was Lilykit.
"I'd like to explore the camp now if that's all alright with you." Frostkit replied.
"Of course. You can do that." Nightkit replied while embarrassedly licking her chest fur from being scolded by her sister. Frostkit wandered off. The first den she wandered into had a bunch of sleepy apprentices.
"Kits, they never respect other cat's privacy." One grumbled, clearly woken up.
"Be kind Stormpaw, she's just a kit. I'm Rosepaw, Welcome to Shadowclan little one." The other one replied. She seemed much nicer. She wandered around the camp and started to approach another den when a voice said.
"I wouldn't go in the warriors' den if I were you, the sleeping ones will be upset." 'Ugh, was she not allowed to go anywhere?' She wandered off sulking. She then came to a den she hadn't seen before. It smelled so good. She wandered inside and noticed that there wasn't anyone in the denm only piles of leaves. She noticed that in one pile there was a leaf that didn't smell like the rest in the pile. She picked it up in her jaws and wandered around until she found a pile that matched the smell. She had just put the leaf down when she heard from behind her.
"What are you doing in my den little kit?"
