One || Beginning
The small, orange she-kit's eyes flickered open and she glanced around the room. She saw what she guessed were her Mother and Brother, Badger.
Badger had earned his name before her. She was angry about that.
I want my name! She thought.
Mother had always told her it would come when ready. But the little she-kit didn't want to wait. Badger got his name by finding a badger, and also from looking like one. She silently giggled to herself, as she realized her brother's markings looked like what he described one looking like.
Maybe you could find something like that to earn your name. A deeper voice in her head said. Maybe the Fox Mother told you about?
Ooh, that sounds good! The kit thought, not even wondering why there was another voice in her head.
The she-kit tried to stand up, on wobbly legs. She had never walked before. But she wanted to try. She didn't want to wait to earn her name, she wanted it now.
She half walked, half stumbled over to the exit of their little den.
She stumbled, honestly having no idea where she was or where she was going.
She walked past many trees, stumbling into a lot of them, and falling into holes as she tried to smell a fox, even though she didn't even know what they smelled like.
She realized this was a bad idea. A very bad idea.
She sighed and said to herself, "Look what you've gotten yourself into now, stupid!"
She decided to stop and figure out what to do next. Maybe she could follow her scent back to her Mother. She knew if she waited her mother would take forever to get to her, with her crippled legs. The kit didn't know what made her have those. She decided she would ask Mother when she saw her. If she saw her.
She suddenly heard a loud yipping and an orange blur in front of her eyes. She suddenly felt a scorching pain on her face, and then saw an orange and black blur lunging at the orange creature.
She realised that it was Mother. She saw Badger come up to her.
"Are you okay?" He asked her.
"I don't know…"
Badger sighed, obviously annoyed at how dumb his sister was. "Why did you do this?"
"A voice said that I should do it if I wanted my name."
"Do you have a brain the size of a whisker? That was definitely some dark forest spirit of whatever!"
The kit saw her mother scare off the badger, then come running at her.
"Idiot!" Her mother spat. "You could've gotten yourself killed!"
"I'm sorry…" The kit hung her head.
"Well for your trouble, you have earned your name." Her mother said.
"What is it?" The kit said, trying not to collapse from the pain in her head.
"Fox." Her mother said. Then it went black for little Fox.
(SPOILERS)
Sorta dramatic, right? Well that's how Fox got her name.
I was bored so that's why I made this.
So that's how Fox got her scar. She was dumb and decided to find her name.
If you're wondering why she had to earn it, I just decided that maybe in Bloodclan in this book they have to earn their name? Bird (Fox's Mother) is/was Bloodclan (I'm not sure if she should still be Bloodclan) because her mate was Bloodclan. (Obsidian is her mate)
Also in my main series I'm thinking of making Bluesky also Fox's half-sister. Maybe Obsidian had kits with Glaze or smth.
Also Badger is her brother just from another litter but same parents so he's older by like a season.
All reviews are appreciated!
