Five Truths About Creekfeather
i.
When her third kit is born, Fallowfern notices faint tabby stripes.
"Where did those come from?" Waspwhisker asks her.
Fallowfern isn't sure where her son gets his ripples, but it certainly does make naming him easier.
ii.
In a litter of four, he is determined to stand out.
From his tabby stripes to his mischievous spirit, nobody ever overlooks Creekpaw.
iii.
Sometimes he stands out for all the wrong reasons; for creeping up on Shrewtooth, for putting fire ants in Rockshade's nest.
Leafstar needs to keep a close watch on this one. She apprentices him to Billystorm.
iv.
He befriends Swiftleap towards the end of his apprenticeship. One day they're simply Clanmates, the next; they're simply inseparable.
(Creekfeather doesn't care about toms and she-cats. He just appreciates someone as attractive as he is.)
v.
Billystorm tells Leafstar that his apprentice is a good cat, just a little bit vain. He winks at his reflection in puddles, and he weaves blue-jay feathers into his nest.
Leafstar finds this amusing. For the second time in his life, he is easy to name.
(Bonus i.)
If cats have ADHD, then Creekfeather has ADHD.
(Bonus ii.)
When Creekfeather finally matures and begins to contribute to SkyClan like any regular warrior, his Clanmates breathe a sigh of relief.
(Although he still likes to put fire ants in their nests from time to time.)
I can never decide if Rabbitleap or Creekfeather is my favorite littermate, but Creekfeather has always been the easiest to write in my SkyClan fic, The Impossible Life of a SkyClan Warrior… and this chapter was the easiest to write, too!
You can interrupt that fourth truth however you like.
Creekfeather was requested by ME :)
