Cedarkit was, to put it lightly, mad at her mother. The spotted queen had taken in an abandoned kit, and, well, to say the least, she wasn't fond of him. Cedarkit didn't know why her mother was so hostile towards Ravenkit. It couldn't be because he wasn't clanborn, She herself was a former loner, so why did she seem to hate him so much? Well, one thing was for sure, she would find out.

Robinkit watched Splash yell at her foster son for what seemed like the hundredth time. It was bad enough that Ravenkit never wanted to play, but to have to hear Cedarkit's mother's yelling was like torture, as her own mother didn't want to let her out of the nursery for some reason.

The little tabby kit rolled on to her back in pure boredom. She had no clue what Cedarkit was doing, and she briefly wondered if the blind kit had gone crazy. Cedarkit had been following her mother around all day, instead of playing with Robinkit, and it was really getting to her.

Robinkit realized for the first time that day, Cedarkit was headed towards her. She rolled back on to her belly, and leapt up on three tiny paws. "Cedarkit!" Robinkit squeaked, leaping on to the older kit.

Cedarkit let out a yowl of surprise as her friend collided with her." Don't scare me like that!" The brown she-kit yelped. "Sorry.. I just really wanted to play with you!" Robinkit responded enthusiastically.

Cedarkit huffed." I don't want to play. Robinkit, that's childish. I need to figure out why Mom is so mean to Ravenkit. You know, important stuff."

Robinkit looked at her paws. "Oh..." The little tabby whispered, turning away.

Cedarkit thinks I'm childish...

Cedarkit felt bad for yelling at Robinkit, she really did, but if they wanted to be warriors, they'd have to work harder than the others. When is she going to understand? We can't be kits forever! We've got to grow up, and.. and.. Cedarkit shook her head. What mattered to her right now was finding the reason behind Splash's mistreatment towards Ravenkit.

The blind kit scampered after her mother as the tall queen padded out past the gray beams of the nursery walls. Suddenly, Splash turned around. Cedarkit was startled, and flinched. "Cedarkit! I told you to stay in the nursery, didn't I?" The white she-cat seemed hostile as she continued. "Why are you following me around all the time? It's getting on my nerves." Cedarkit looked at her paws as she responded

"Sorry.. I just.. was wondering why you're so mean to Ravenkit!"

Splash stiffened. "It's none of your concern Cedarkit. You're too young to understand anyway. Now back to the nursery with you!" She said darkly as she shoved Cedarkit back into the nursery.

Cedarkit sighed, padding to Robinkit's nest. The brown kit slid in beside the smaller tabby one, attempting not to wake her, but ultimately failing as Robinkit stirred anyway.

"Cedarkit... I thought you were mad at me.. why are you in my nest?" The little tabby mumbled. Cedarkit swept her tail over her tiny friend , sighing again. "I'm sorry I was mean earlier... I'm hardly older than you after all. And we're kits. We get to be childish..."

Robinkit smiled. "It's okay! I couldn't stay mad at you anyway, you're my best friend!"

Cedarkit smiled softly as Robinkit continued. "Plus, you have the prettiest green eyes!" Green? "Robinkit, my eyes are blue, not green." Cedarkit responded patiently. "Nooo.. They're green!" Robinkit repeated adamantly.

Cedarkit leapt up and padded towards a small puddle in the corner, Robinkit stumbling on three awkward paws behind her. To her surprise, the formally blue orbs on the brown smudge that she guessed was her face, were now green.

"What..." Cedarkit whispered, as Robinkit caught up to her. "My eyes.. What... How?" Robinkit brushed up against the taller kit, and mewed sharply, "Mama told me that everyone's eyes change from blue! And... Aw.. mine are still blue." The little tabby cat sighed and looked at her paws. "What color do you think I'll get?" She mumbled softly. Cedarkit pressed against her friend. "I think you'll get... Purple!" Robinkit giggled. "Well, I think I'll get pink!" The two kits burst out laughing together.

Woah, new chapter, I know it took a while, but I have school and stuff!
