First chapter of Trapped! Whoo, Whoo!
Bye guys!
Hi, I'm Ravenkit and I'm in a pretty difficult situation right now. My mother, Whitelight is preparing me and my sister Rosekit for our apprentice ceremony.
"Whitelight", I mewled, "Stop it!" Whitelight was licking my pelt very fast the wrong way to keep me warm, then the right way it was leaf-bare, so it was cold.
As our leader, Skystar, yowled, "All cats that are old enough to catch their own prey please gather round the highrock for a clan meeting!", I stepped out of the nursery.
Rosekit bumped into me and Rodenttail purred meanly, "You can't even get out of the nursery without falling over?" I could tell Rosekit's pelt was burning.
"Leave my kit alone!" Whitelight growled, nudging Rosekit to her feet. I don't like arguing. It makes me feel like running away and hiding.
"Ravenkit, Rosekit, Sparrowkit, (Sparrowkit was already there) Rosekit, come forward." Rosekit leaped forward confidently. Rosekit, from now on, you will be called Rosepaw until your warrior ceremony. Gingerleg, you will be Rosekit's mentor. Mentor and apprentice touched noses. Ravenkit, come forward. I walked calmly to Skystar. Ravenkit, from now on, you will be called Ravenpaw, until your warriors ceremony. Whitelight, you will mentor this apprentice with your great skill, and knowledge. My mother and I touched noses. From now on, I must not think of her as my mother, I thought sternly to myself. "Sparrowkit, Skystar beckoned to my older sister, "You will be known as Sparrowpaw until your warrior ceremony." "Steamgray, come forward." "You will mentor this apprentice with your knowledge and skill." Sparowpaw was so excited she crashed noses with Steamgray.
Skystar shook his head, amused. "Sparrowpaw, Ravenpaw, Rosepaw!" The clan screamed.
Congrats! everybody said, crowding around Me, Sparrowpaw, and Rosepaw. Even Rodenttail congratulated Rosepaw.
Rosepaw
I jumped on Ravenpaw later that day. "The ceremony seemed like a moon!" I said to Sparrowpaw, sitting down, folding my tail neatly on my paws.
Ravenpaw was talking to Birchpaw. "Hey, Birchpaw!" I meowed, trying not to fall asleep and sleep for a moon on the floor. Sparrowpaw and Ravenpaw were having a heated argument about what kind of prey was best.
"I like voles!" Ravenpaw yelled.
"Mice are better," I interjected.
"Stay out of this, Mouse-brain!" Sparrowpaw spat at me.
I was genuinely suprised. Sparrowpaw is hardly EVER mean.
Besides, everybody knows that sparrows are the best.
So much for her name, Ravenpaw said in my ear.
I flattened my ears. She's our sister and I don't know why you're so against her! I spat, My anger busting out of my mouth like a sparrow taking flight from a snow-covered tree. Besides, I continued, that scar that you made on mama's flanks is still there! Sparrowpaw is my sister more than yours, Ravenpaw! Sclatch! I raked my unsheathed claw on my younger brother's face, right across his eye.
"Larksong!" Ravenpaw screeched, running for the den door, but Sparrowpaw was there first, blocking the doorway.
Get Em, Rosepaw. I started attacking Ravenpaw on Sparrowpaw's orders. I pinned him down, raking at Ravenpaw's belly with my hind legs. Ravenpaw yowled in pain and fright. Larksong, our medicine cat, was shocked when she yelled, Rosepaw! I could smell Sparrowpaw, Larksong, Ravenpaw and slightly my fear-scent. I had ice in my veins. I expected it to go away as my mama came in, but it didn't. It spread, all the way to my heart.
I wanted to rip the pelts off of all the cats in the den. Ravenpaw! Whitelight yowled. Ravenpaw had sank into his nest, convulsing horribly. Rosepaw, We will report this to Skystar as soon as possible! I didn't quite now what I was feeling at all. Sparrowpaw and I both looked at our paws, seriously ashamed in Sparrowpaw's part (as I could tell) I'm really sorry, Ravenpaw, Sparrowpaw and I said, though, by the look in her eyes, she was not sorry.
