"Come on Flame! Wake up!" A paw prodded Flame's side. "Momma says I can't go outside till you open yours eyes."
"Flash, leave your sister alone. She'll open her eyes when she's ready."
"But Momma…Momma! Momma! She's doing it!"
Flame blinked open her eyes. A grey face with blue eyes stared right at her. "Eep!" She squeaked, jerking her head up.
"You're awake!" Flash purred, jumping up and down. "Finally!" Flame looked around. She was lying in a warm nest, with her brother right in front of her.
"Hello my poppet." A blue-grey she-cat with blue eyes and white paws laid her tail across the kit's back.
"Are you my mother?" Flame asked, peering up at her. The blue-grey cat purred. "Yes, my name is Feather." "Can we go outside now?" Flash pleaded, tugging on Flame's tail. "Fine. But stay in camp, and don't get in trouble!" Feather called after them, as Flash had ran outside, pulling Flame along with him.
Outside, the camp was bustling with activity. A couple of cats were grouped together, discussing something. At the far end of the camp, a large rock jutted out. Under it, two dens stood, one on each side. A white cat with black ears emerged from one, a bundle of herbs in her jaws. Her gaze flicked over to the two kits. "That's Dream, she's the healer." Flash mewed to Flame. "She is also blind." Flame gazed back at the healer. Dream blinked, and carried her bundle of herbs to a cave under the rock. "That's Falcon's den. He's the leader. The den next to the rock that isn't Dream's is Ocean's, she's the deputy. She isn't around sometimes, but you know. She's probably doing deputy-stuff." He added proudly, puffing out his chest.
"How do you know all this?" Flame asked, awestruck. Her brother glances around to make sure no one was listening before leaning over to her. "I found a way out of the Nursery."
She looked at him. "Really?"
"Yeah, I snuck out a lot." He grinned. "Come on, let's go meet some cats."
Flame was exhausted, they spent the day going around camp, meeting her clan mates, and learning every secret nook and cranny within the walls of the camp. She laid her head down and went to sleep.
