Chapter One
"Wake up, Echokit, I want to play outside with the other kits!" Echokit recognised the squeaky voice of her brother, Berrykit.
"How many time do I have to repeat myself, Berrykit? She'll open them when she's ready to open them." This time it was her mother, Mistyshine who spoke, her voice was gentle and warm.
"Pricklekit, Sagekit and Shellkit will wait for you," one of the other queens, Dappleleaf promised Berrykit.
"But I want to play for the rest of the day!" Berrykit protested.
"You'll be tired by the time you play one game, after all, you were only born yesterday," Mistyshine responded curtly.
"I won't be tired, I'm going to be a warrior!" Berrykit growled.
I want to be a warrior! At that moment, Echokit blinked her eyes open to reveal a small bramble den that had an opening at the edge, but something wasn't right, she could only see clearly from one eye. "Your eyes are-" Berrykit paused in the middle of his sentence, "Mistyshine, is there spmething wrong with her?"
"What do you mean?" Echokit wailed. There's nothing wrong with me, is there?
Mistyshine bent down to look at her face, "Oh StarClan," she whispered, "I think she's blind in one eye."
"Do you want me to fetch Petalwish?" Dappleleaf asked.
"Yes, I want to make sure that that's the problem," Mistyshine replied.
"Problem?" Echokit tilted her head, "I have a problem?"
"You're blind in one eye, darling, it's nothing much," Mistyshine purred.
"That means she can't be a warrior!" Berrykit exclaimed.
Echokit's heart sunk, "what?"
"Berrykit," Mistyshine scolded, "of course you can be a warrior, little one."
"But she won't be able to hunt or fight with that defect," Berrykit meowed rudely.
"She'll be able to hunt and fight as well as any cat," Petalwish squeezed throught the hole in the bramble den at that moment, followed by Dappleleaf.
"I doubt it," Berrykit mumbled.
Echokit flattened her ears, why was Berrykit being so mean to her? He was her littermate. Petalwish examined her eye for a few moemtns, "She's definetely blind in that eye," she announced, "but it shouldnt effect her much, so long as her other eye is kept safe."
"Can I still be a warrior?" Echokit asked.
"Of cour-" Mistyshine was cut off by Petalwish, "Only the future can answer that."
You watch I'll be the greatest warrior ever! Echokit was surprised to see her father Mudsplash squeeze into the nursery, "Has Echokit opened her eyes yet?" he asked.
"Yes, but she's blind," Berrykit scoffed.
"What?" Mudsplash sounded panicked.
That's not for him to answer! Echokit felt as if she were about to burst with anger. "Berrykit, don't be mean!" Mistyshine growled.
"Unfortunately Echokit was born blind in one of her eyes," Petalwish explained.
Mudsplash glared at Echokit, his gaze filled with empathy, "Can you do anything for her?" he asked.
Petalwish shook her head, "If I was able to help, I would've by now."
"Don't worry, I'll still be able to be the greatest warrior in all the clans!" Echokit exclaimed.
"I'm sure you will be," Mudsplash purred, licking her forehead.
"You can't be a warrior though, you'll have to be a stinky old medicine cat, or an elder," Berrykit commented in a rude matter.
"One more mean comment Berrykit and I won't let you out of the nursery for a moon and you'll be stuck playing in here while your sister and the rest of the kits are outside playing," Mistyshine warned.
Berrykit rolled his eyes, "Fine," he grunted.
"When can we go outside?" Echokit asked.
"Perhaps stay inside today, besides it's getting late," Petalwish purred.
Echokit flattened her ears in annoyance, "Okay."
"That's unfair!" Berrykit exclaimed.
"I can go get Pricklekit, Sagekit and Shellkit to come play inside if you'd like," Dappleleaf offered.
"I think our kits will be okay by themselves for today, let the others play outside," Mudsplash purred.
Hope you liked it! I'm planning to get a few chapters written today.
