3. Chapter 1: A Bad Start

I was inspired to write this story by Willowsong of Thunderclan's story, "Honeystar's Struggle." It's a really good story! I did get permission to write this.

This story will have short chapters at first because this is my first story, but I promise that I will get better! Thanks for reading this story and I hope that everyone enjoys it. (Also, I will respond to reviews each chapter.)

Chapter 1

Sagekit was the final one of her littermates to open her eyes. Bouncekit had a dark brown pelt with light brown legs and amber eyes. Whitekit stood up to her name as she had an all-white pelt and green eyes. Her littermates ran over to play with the other kits before she could talk to them. The world was so bright and colorful. Sagekit couldn't wait to see outside of the den she was in.

Sagekit looked over her shoulder at a queen. "Are you my mother?" she asked.

"No." the queen growled. "I'm Moonfoot, and stop asking questions you runt!" Sagekit wondered why Moonfoot hated her so much.

"Stay away from me and my kits too!"

"O-Okay" she meowed and Sagekit walked over to the other kits that were playing Airclan vs. Heatherclan.

"Can I play too?" Sagekit asked kindly.

"Sure." Another kit meowed.

"My name is Leafkit. Do you want to be friends?" Leafkit meowed. Before Sagekit could respond, another kit spoke.

"Wait, why would you want that, that freak to play with us?" Larkkit meowed.

"Yeah!"

All the other kits, including Sagekit's littermates meowed.

"Why should that monster play with us? She killed a cat!"

"What?!" Sagekit thought to herself.

"Who did I kill and how? I'm not even a quarter of a moon old yet!" Sagekit wailed. Another, cat jumped into the conversation.

"You killed your mother because you were born!" the cat growled loudly.

"Wh-Who are you?" Sagekit whimpered.

"I'm Pineheart. You should know that already, you mouse-brain! I'm not going to let you play with the other kits because you might influence them on being killers too."

Sagekit was so confused. "Why does everyone hate me so much?" Sagekit wailed. Sagekit then ran out of the nursery to the other side camp trying to hide from the other cats.
