Chapter 1, woo-hoo, i started getting inspiration.

Chapter 1, Amberkit's POV

I opened my mismatched eyes to the wonder of sunlight.

It was just past dawn, and the other kits were already playing.

Normal for them to leave me behind.

Completely, utterly, normal.

I've come to dislike the word normal.

I mean,what is normal?

Could i be normal?

I was interrupted in my thoughts as my gaze slipped down to look at my twisted leg.

Yep, completely, not normal.

I must have been staring at my leg because right then my mother gave me a good, hard shove with her gray speckle nose.

"You have to except yourself Amberkit. Your leg makes you who you are. Who cares what those other kits say?" Minnowgaze mewed.

We had this conversation every day.

Exact words.

It has become the first thing i hear every morning.

Now, back to life.

I jerked my head up from my daydream.

"Oh. Oh, yeah." I mumbled.

"Why don't you go play with the other kits?" Minnowgaze suggested.

"Yeah, sure. Okay." I murmured.

I straightened my hind legs first,letting my back arch.

I then moved my not twisted front leg so it was in a standing position too.

Now came the hard part, if i got this wrong, it could hurt.

Slowly i dragged my twisted leg back until it stood straight-ish next to the other.

I then limped out onto the island Riverclan calls camp.

I saw out of the corner of my eye the other kits barreling towards her after a moss-ball.

I tried to get out of the way, but with a twisted leg and all.

That was hard.

I tried to get out of the way, i truly did.

But i still crashed into by the five other kits.

I grunted as i was thrown to the ground.

As i was getting up, i flattened my ears at a stinging comment.

"Oh. She couldn't get out of the way again, could she?"

I gritted my teeth.

"Maybe she should just go join the elders! But wait, they might still be to fast for her!"

I narrowed my eyes.

"Or just go be a medicine cat! that's what all the crippled cats become!"

That last comment was followed by a round of snickers.

I whipped my head around, all five kits were laughing.

I snorted and stalked off the best i could.

"Run away. Run away." The kits chanted.

I took a deep breath and turned around.

"Cloverkit, stop." I mewed calmly.

"Are you gonna make me?" Cloverkit retorted.

"No. I'm gonna turn around and let you think about your life."

"UGH!"

Cloverkit was about to make another stinging retort until our mother walked by.

"Oh! Hello Minnowgaze!" She piped.

"Hello Cloverkit, Amberkit." Minnowgaze replied.

As Minnowgaze passed, Cloverkit glared at me.

I took another deep breath and went to the fresh-kill pile to grab a fish.

As i sat down to eat, Cloverkit made sure to walk by me a kick dust on the fish.

"Oops!" She mewed, then giggled.

I lowered my eyelids and nibbled at the rest of the fish.

The next day...

"All cats old enough to swim gather to hear my words." Marshstar, the leader called.

The clan gathered, i watched Cloverkit try to stop my mother from grooming her once again.

I was trying to smooth down a stubborn tuft of fur on my back.

After this ceremony there would be no kits in the nursery until Willowspot had her kits.

Me, Cloverkit, Maplekit, Dawnkit, Duskkit and Cedarkit were born around the same time so our apprentice ceremonies are at the same time.

This must be one of the biggest ceremonies ever.

Six kits become apprentices, and two apprentices become warriors.

After Marshstar named Gingerpaw and Redpaw.

Who's names became Gingerfern and Redtail.

Marshstar started speaking again.

"It is now my pleasure to make six kits apprentices.

One by one the kits went, becoming, Maplepaw, Dawnpaw, Duskpaw, Cedarpaw and Cloverpaw.

Finally, Marshstar yowled:

"Amberkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Amberpaw. Your mentor will be Grayflower. I hope Grayflower will pass down all she knows on to you."

Marshstar turned to Grayflower.

Grayflower, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Iceclaw, and you have shown yourself to be loyal and creative. You will be the mentor of Amberpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to her."

Amber walked up to Grayflower, and touched noses with her.

As she touched noses with the gray and black she-cat, Amberpaw whispered, "Don't do it."

As the little apprentice stepped back, Grayflower asked, "Do what?"

"Go easy on me, don't do it. Treat me like a normal apprentice." Amberpaw mewed.

"Okay." Grayflower mewed.

Amber trotted off to find a nest for herself in the apprentice's den, for the sun was setting, bathing the ground in auburn and gold.

*gasp* I finally uploaded. PARTY! Yeah, sorry i couldn't upload, i was really busy.

Well, bye!
