Sunflower
Brightfrost silently urged her kits to open their eyes. She wanted to see what beautiful color was behind those closed eyelids. She especially wanted to see their eyes before one of them died. Shadowwing, her brother and medicine cat, had told her that the two she-cats, Rosekit and Sagekit, probably wouldn't even make it a few days. They were too weak.
The queen, although, was too stubborn to think that they would die so early. But, it was always on the back of her mind.
Stormkit jerked and squealed in his position and Brightfrost grinned. "Come on, little guy. You can do it!" she purred happily. "Do it for momma!"
The tiny kit strained his eyes, shrieking from the effort. The ginger-furred she-cat ran her plumy tail over her little tom, and he calmed down ever so slightly. With a pop, dark green eyes opened, but closed with a loud wail.
Stormkit struggled around before coming to a stop near her belly. Brightfrost moved so her slender frame could block the light for kits.
"Okay, Stormkit, open those magnificent green eyes!" she urged, bending down to lick his gray ear.
Stormkit squinted one eye open, and soon the other followed. He gazed up at Brightfrost with wonder and awe. She was so big!
Brightfrost laid down next to him. "Hello, Stormkit."
Storkit frowned and pointed to himself. "Stormket?" he tried, he tounge rolling uncomfortably.
"Storm-ki-t." She sounded out, smiling in amusement. Her amber eyes, similar to her brother's, glittered with joy.
"Stormkit!" he repeated, and hopped up gleefully. "Stormkit!" he stopped short when he saw the two small bundles of fur whose names were Sagekit and Rosekit.
"Those are your sisters." She explained, nudging him closer. "Sagekit and Rosekit are their names."
Stormkit obediently padded forward, doubt and worry etched into his small kitten face. "Sagekit. Rosekit."
As he said Sagekit's name, she moved toward the sound blindly, mewling softly. Stormkit watched, wyes wide.
"Momma! Sh-She's moving!" he shrieked, stepping backwards but tripped over his long tail. He landed with a thump.
Brightfrost fought down a small laugh that threatened to happen. "Don't worry. She won't hurt you." She assured Stormkit, once again nudging him forward towards his sisters after he got up.
Stormkit hesitantly touched Sagekit, who reached out with a mewl. Then, he touched Rosekit who moved towards him weakly, stopping by his sister.
He looked up, startled, as a slightly bigger cat came towards him.
"Hello!" the cat meowed cheerfully, her sleek gray coat rippling in the wind that strayed into the warm den. "My name is Sunkit."
Sunkit, he thought. What a pretty name. "Uh." He glanced towards his mother who smiled in return. "My name is Stormkit."
Sunkit grinned. "I know! You're the big talk around here!" she purred, amused by this tiny tom.
HE blinked slowly, opening, and closing his eyes. "I am?" he asked uncertainly, voice coming out as a squeak.
Sunkit nodded. "Yes. I'll finally have a break from my littermates." She fake sighed. "Come over here, Rockkit and Blazekit!"
Under her command, two kits bigger than the she-kit herself came padding over. They both smiled, amber eyes lighting up. "Hello!" the brown one purred. "I'm Rockkit."
Stormkit turned to the other tom, a dark, dark ginger tom with black stripes, "Are you Blazekit?"
Blazekit nodded and offered another smile. Stormkit smiled back, pleased he remembered, "Those are my sisters, Sagekit and Rosekit." He pointed to the two littermates, who were busy attempting to open their eyes with Brightfrost's help. Sagekit squealed as she opened them, her eyes a sky blue with light gray dots.
Blazekit eyed her. "Why do they look identical?" he asked his new friend, who shrugged.
"I just met them today."
