Hazelkit twitched in her sleep. She didn't wake her littermates, though. She was having the dream again.
She was fully grown, and she was racing through an unfamiliar forest. An unseen and unknown force was chasing her, she knew somehow. Then she heard a loud sound. No, many loud sounds. Like hundreds of paws racing after her. Hundreds of cats chasing her through this forest. Her life had been haunted by this dream, always the same, but tiny details differed. Like what season it was, or what obstacles were in her path.
She ran on a thin, squishy, slightly wet feeling, dirt path in a dark, foggy forest. She dodged tree roots, or a bush, or a dip in the ground.
She was scared, her heart raced. Her lungs ached. Her paws were sore. Her legs had sharp pain shooting through them. Her head swirled like the mist she was running through.
She couldn't keep running forever. She could try, though. She kept running, not thinking. And then, she tripped, and the darkness engulfed her.
I woke with a start. I blinked away the darkness of sleep. The den was dark. My littermates were asleep, their small flanks rising and falling softly. Still night, I think.
I rise, and shake out my still-fluffy kit-fur. I pad, very gently, to the tunnel entrance of the den. I slip out. Out in the camp clearing, I sit and glance around. I can see the sun peeking up over the trees near the warriors' den. Not as early as I thought.
"Hi there, little kit." A deep voice startled me. I look up into the deep amber eyes of the leader, Tunnelstar.
"H-Hi." I stutter out. I've never talked to him directly, but have heard he was the most respected warrior before he became leader
"What are you doing up so early?" He mews.
"Oh, um, I had a dream." I state.
"How old are you, five moons?" He asks, and once again I'm looking in his eyes. His eyes startle me, their amber so vibrant.
"Yes, almost six. I'll be an apprentice soon!" I squeak, and then feel embarrassed. You are almost an apapprentice, so stop acting like such a kit.
"Would you like to see some of our territory?" He tips his head. My eyes widen.
"Yes! I've never been outside of camp before! Let's go!" I'm practically bouncing. He laughs, a deep and whole sound.
"Only out to the Great Sycamore. Wouldn't want your mother to worry too much. Come on, follow me closely, okay?"
"Okay!" I'm just excited to be going out at all.
He leads me up, up a winding sandy path. Its not steep, so we pad on for a long time.
Back when we first entered the territory, Sunclan chose a tiny forest in a deep dip in the sandy moor to be the camp. There was a natural clearing, and a large hill that had three natural caves. One, high up with a fallen tree leading up to it, is the leader's, Tunnelstar's den. Another, with the entrance on the ground, large and deep, with a small natural pool, Is the medicine cat's, Mistyeel's den.
I stumble into the back on Tunnelstar's front leg, because he stopped and I wasn't looking.
"That's the Great Sycamore, the only tree, besides in our camp, on our territory." I gaze up a huge tree. It looks like the tree reaches into the clouds. "Look over there," he nods his head to the right, and I turn, "that beach, and the river beyond, is our Moonclan border. You must not ever cross over the river, even if it is dead. Moonclan are very territorial. As are we, I suppose. But Moonclan are vicious. Though our code says not to, they still kill in battle, and often. We've been fighting Moonclan for as long as there's been Sunclan and Moonclan"
That's a lot of information for one morning. I'm trying to get it all straight in my mind. "Come on, we should get back to camp before we're missed." He sighs softly.
The walk back is long, and hot, and I'm exhausted by the time we're back. Tigerfang, a fierce warrior, nods at us in the branchy entrance. I walk toward the nursery, hardly being able to keep my eyes open.
"Hazelkit?" Tunnelstar calls.
"Yeah? Oh, thanks!" I look at him.
"No, that's not what I wanted to stop you for. Hazelkit, I don't, quite know why I'm saying this, but... but I think you have a destiny, Hazelkit. An important role in our fight." He says softly, and turns to his den quickly.
What?
A/N so I know I started out in third person POV, but I realized I'm much better at first person. Also, I was gonna write throughout Hazelkit's kithood but decided that I'd rather not. Maybe I'll publish a series of one-shots of a few of her and her brothers/sister adventures.
I won't be able to update until I get more warriors submitted because I need mentors and stuff. But I guess if a few days pass without any I'll just make my own, because I wouldn't want to starve the people actively reading this, but submit OCs if you want hem in and for this to be updated quickly! It'll only go as quick as the reviews come in!
R&R!
