Day-1 Dust

I looked over at the little new born Mienfoo. Her brother slept beside their mother yet the young kit had slept far away from them both and was now shivering from the cold. I felt my eyes getting sleepy and wandered off to my own bed to get back to sleep.

I woke up to see the sun had fully risen in to the sky. I glanced around at the den there was two nests made of moss and the dark cave walls where light by the light from the doorway. I looked back at my mother to see she was grooming my little brother I yawned and looked over at the she cat of the other mother of the tribe. She hatched yesterday and had yet to open her eyes or even be named. Witch was odd knowing that her brother had been named the moment he was born yet his sister was ignored.

I admired her looks for a moment then was called by my mother to be groomed. I walked over and sat down where my brother had and waited for my mom to be done. While I waited I got a few glances from my brother and once I was allowed to get up I walked over to him. He flicked his ear to show me to follow him. I followed him into the dreary edge of the cavern. Once we were out of hearing range he spoke.

"You like 'no name' you like 'no name,'" he squeaked.

I looked my brother Snake and hissed, "She is not no name she just doesn't have a name yet."

He smirked, "Well I think that she'll end up as a default."

"She will not, she's perfect."

Whatever just don't come crying to me once she's banished." He turned and walked away.

"She not getting banished and she will not be a default," I said after him, he acted like he didn't hear me but I knew he did. "Cloud come over here dear, she's getting a name finally," my mother said.

I ran over quickly to see what my future mates name would be.

The mother looked a bit puzzled and angry at the same time witch seemed odd. My thoughts were interrupted by the mother finally saying something. "This kits name will be Dust." The wording she had used was troubling. Why would she say 'this kit' and why such a gloomy name. I looked down to see dust looking up at me with brown eyes and I smiled.
