On The Run And A New Name
I was panting heavily and my fur was matted with mud and dirt, I had been on the run for about two days now. For some reason RainClan was after me, I had been living with ForestClan for years now and they've kept me safe, but that all changed two days ago.
Oh, and to clarify, I had a spell put on me a few years ago, I don't know the details of the spell, but I don't really care about my age, I care more about staying safe.
What does RainClan want with me anyway? I wondered to myself as I kept on running threw the thicket of trees.
I have to make it out of the forest, I have to and then I'll be safe. I thought to myself in a panic. I could feel the exhaustion starting to overwhelm both my mind and body.
I suddenly slipped over a fallen tree root and I tumbled down the hill, and my head smacked into a rock, the last thing I heard was the panicked shouts of my best friend, Willowkit. Then my world went dark.
I awoke to a pair of blue eyes and pure white fur. I yelped and tried to stand to my paws, but the stranger gently pushed me back down with a paw.
"Easy, easy." A calm and motherly voice spoke up.
"You need to take it easy and rest," The white cat continued speaking after a short pause.
"Do you remember your name?" She asked, and I tried to rack my mind for anything, but I drew a complete blank. I looked up at the white cat with confused green eyes.
"I-I don't remember anything, I-I'm sorry." I quietly replied.
"M-may I ask you what your name is?" I quietly asked, and the white cat smiled warmly at me.
"My name is Snowstorm," The white cat replied, with a warm smile on her face.
"How about I give you a name until you can remember your own." Snowstorm said, smiling warmly at me.
"Is that okay with you?" Snowstorm asked, and I slowly nodded my head.
"How about the name Shadowkit?" Snowstorm suggested, with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Because you were hard to spot when we found you." Snowstorm replied, with a small laugh. I thought over the name for a while before I nodded with a small smile on my face.
"W-what Clan are you from, Snowstorm?" I quietly asked, and Snowstorm just laughed quietly at me before she answered my question.
"I'm from IceClan," Snowstorm replied, and after a few moments of silence, she spoke up once more.
"Do you want to meet them, Shadowkit?" Snowstorm asked, smiling brightly at me. I smile and nodded my head in response.
"Hay, Snowstorm. Where have you been?" We both looked up to see a small cat with black and white fur with blue eyes. She looked really young almost about as small as me.
"Sorry for worrying you Wolfkit." Snowstorm said, smiling sheepishly at the small cat. Wolfkit smiled and her gaze then landed on mr.
"And who's that, Snowstorm?" Wolfkit asked, with wide blue eyes. Snowstorm smiled and introduced me to Wolfkit.
"This is Shadowkit," Snowstorm explained to the young cat.
"She can't remember her real name, so I gave her one." Snowstorm frowned and continued speaking after a short pause.
"Where's Dawnstar? I need to ask her if Shadowkit can stay with us until she regains her memories." Snowstorm asked, looking around for Dawnpaw. Wolfkit nodded and smiled cheekily up at me and Snowstorm.
"Yeah, she's here, let's go ask her and see if Shadowkit can stay!" Wolfkit exclaimed happily, and Snowstorm and I just laughed as we ran after the energetic and bubbly cat.
It took a while but we eventually found Dawnstar, she was chatting with a pretty she-cat that had icy-blue fur and light blue eyes. I turned to Snowstorm with a questioning gaze.
"That's our medicine cat, her name's Silverflurry." Snowstorm quietly explained, and I nodded my head in response.
"Ah, hello Snowstorm. Hello, Wolfkit. And who might this young one be?" Dawnstar said, her voice was like the ringing of bells. I smiled shyly and nervously looked up at Dawnstar.
"M-my name's S-Shadowkit, it's very nice to meet you, Dawnstar." I said, introducing myself to both Dawnstar and Silverflurry.
"I was wondering if Shadowkit could stay here with us until she regains her memories." Snowstorm explained, braking the silence that had fallen.
"She has no memory of anything?" Dawnstar chimed in, looking concerned as she looked in my direction. Snowstorm nodded and continued speaking.
"She couldn't remember her real name, so I had given her the name Shadowkit." Dawnstar nodded in response to what Snowstorm had said.
SNOWKIT
I had heard from my mother, Icestar that there was a new member of IceClan. I respected my mother a lot. I had gone to investigate who the new arrival was.
She was a small cat with spiky red-brown fur with streaks of black, her eyes were pine-green. She looked really friendly, so I slowly approached her.
"Hi, you must be... Shadowkit, right?" I asked, and Shadowkit nodded her head in confirmation. I smiled brightly and introduced myself.
"It's nice to meet you, Shadowkit. My name's Snowkit." I said, and Shadowkit gave a shy smile in greeting.
"I know we just met in all but... I was wondering... Do you want to be friends?" I quietly asked, giving a soft smile. It was silent for some time before Shadowkit finally spoke up in a soft voice.
"I-I would really like that, Snow. Can I call you that?" Shadowkit quietly asked, and I nodded with a bright smile on my face.
"Do you have any place to stay, Shadowkit?" I asked, looking at my new friend with wide yellow eyes. Shadowkit shook her head and I smiled cheekily at my new friend.
"Then you can stay with me and my mom. C'mon! Let's go and ask her!" I exclaimed, as I ran back into the direction of where I lived.
