The Tree that Fell Silently: Thank you for your nice comments and constructive criticism! They mean a lot to me! I know that there are a lot of Fan Fictions like this, but this story will be getting different than most other stories like this very soon.
Sageclaw: I'm glad that you like this story! And for why I chose the prefix Sage, I have two reasons. One being that Sage is probably one of my favorite prefixes and that it is almost never used in the Warrior's series, and the other reason... you will find out in the next couple of chapters.
On with the new chapter!
Chapter 4
Sagekit woke up. "Just three and a half-moons until I'm an apprentice!" she thought excitedly. As Sagekit got up, Bouncekit looked over at her.
"Go away you runt, no one likes you," Bouncekit growled. Sagekit got up and left the nursery to go outside feeling hurt.
"Hey runt, why don't you just leave Airclan you nuisance?!" Sagekit whipped around to see Sedgekit glaring her down.
"Shut up." Sagekit growled through gritted teeth. Sedgekit then ran away to the warriors' den. "Why is she going there?" Sagekit thought. But Sagekit didn't think anything of it and went to the fresh kill pile to get a mouse. As Sagekit sat down to eat, Sedgekit came back over with her father, Badgernose.
"How dare you call my kit a piece of crow-food!?" Badgernose growled loudly.
"Bu-But I didn't." Sagekit meowed.
"Yeah right!" Badgernose exclaimed and while doing so he slashed his unsheathed claws down Sagekit's face.
"Ow!" Sagekit exclaimed. "You're hurting me!"
"Badgernose, stop right now." Wrenstar and Hawkwing meowed in unison. "Don't hurt Sagekit, Badgernose!" Hawkwing meowed "She's already injured enough by everyone else's words. Wrenstar, I need to bring Sagekit to the medicine den so I can give her some cobwebs and a poultice."
"Okay. I'll deal with Badgernose." Wrenstar meowed. This was the last thing Sagekit heard before her world turned black.
When Sagekit woke up, she was in the medicine den and she couldn't remember why. Sagekit sprung up from the moss that she was sleeping on and found her father, Eagleclaw sitting next to her. She had barely seen her father and hadn't been able to talk to him yet even though Sagekit was two-and-a-half-moons old. But, when she had rarely seen her father, he was always giving her looks of menace and disgust.
"Why are you here Eagleclaw?" a voice asked. Sagekit saw that it was Hawkwing who had spoken. He had a look of disgust on his face.
"To tell my daughter how much I hate her for killing my mate," Eagleclaw answered. Sagekit almost fainted again by the fact that her own father hated her this much.
"Get out Eagleclaw. Sagekit is just a kit and it wasn't her fault that Cindertail died."
Eagleclaw looked like he wanted to pounce on the medicine cat to show that he couldn't be told what to do. "Fine. But next time don't even try to stop me from expressing my hate to my daughter. You don't want to know what will happen." Eagleclaw then looked at Sagekit and growled, "You'd better watch your back you runt." And with that, Eagleclaw stalked out of the den. Hawkwing glared after him for a little bit and then he turned to me.
"Are you okay Sagekit? You don't need to listen to what Eagleclaw says. He isn't a nice cat."
"Yeah, I'm okay." Sagekit murmured. On the inside though, Sagekit felt awful that almost every cat in the clan despised her. Even her own father hated her.
"Okay Sagekit. Tell me if you feel any pain or just if you want to talk to someone." Hawkwing started to pad away.
"Wait! Hawkwing!" Sagekit meowed.
"What?"
"How long do I have to stay in the medicine den?"
"Well if you're feeling better, you can go back to the nursery now." Hawkwing meowed.
"Okay, I will." Sagekit responded. Sagekit then ran over to the nursery to be welcomed back by Leafkit.
"Welcome back!" Leafkit squeaked.
"Thanks!" Sagekit meowed back. She walked into the nursery and sat down in her nest. She fell asleep almost immediately, thinking about how kind Hawkwing had always been to her. She wondered if all medicine cats were as special as Hawkwing.
This was a much longer chapter than the other chapter's so far, so I am pretty pleased with it. Thanks for reading this chapter and I will post the next chapter soon!
