Lightkit woke up to a paw prodding her side. Groaning, she opened her eyes to see Rosekit standing over her.
"What are you? A dormouse? Get up sleepyhead." she purred. Lightkit groaned and rolled over.
"No. I wanna sleep and dream of chasing little mice." she said. Rosekit rolled her eyes and pounced on her sister.
"Come on lazy bones. Get up!" she said, continuing to bounce on her sister. Lightkit finally grumbled and sat up, glancing at her messy fur. Looking at Rosekit, she felt an instant pang of jealousy. While her fur was a messy plain yellow, Rosekit's fur was a sleek yellow with her ears being red along with her back paws and tail. Her golden tail-tip, back paws, and muzzle literally sparkled in the sunlight. Her eyes being a dazzling orange color. She could get any tom in the clan while Lightkit could get no one. She sat up and began grooming her bland yellow fur, just barely making it settle down. The scratch that Treepaw had done on her chest was now a fresh pink scar, not going anywhere till she joined Starclan. It stretched diagonally across her chest. She padded out at Rosekits heels, regretting it instantly. Outside stood Treepaw with a huge ball of dirty moss in his jaws, glaring her way as she padded out of her den. It's been a half moon since their fight and he was still doing elders duty. All his wounds had healed and not a single scar was left on him except the burning hatred for her buried deep in his heart. He padded away with a single lash of his tail and a growl deep in his throat. She rolled her eyes and padded over to the fresh-kill pile to grab a mouse for her sister and her. They both padded over to their father, Sunstone, who was grooming himself at the edge of the clearing. He purred as he saw his daughter's pad over to him. He nuzzled each of them in turn as they sat down to share the mouse.
"We'll soon be catching our own prey daddy." Lightkit squeaked to her father.
"I know sweetheart. I can't wait and I'm sure Redstorm can't either." he said. Lightkit stopped mid chew and looked up at him.
"Seriously?" she said, swallowing the bite she had.
"Well you're her daughter no matter what she says." he said.
"She'll probably only watch to see Rosekit and Lionkit become apprentices." she grumbled, stiffly taking another bite of mouse. Sunstone stroked her slowly bristling fur down with one giant paw.
"Don't worry Lightkit. Everybody else cares about you, no matter what she says." he meowed. Lightkit purred and nuzzled her father. Her eyes darted towards the nursery and saw Redstorm padding over. She stiffly stood in front of Sunstone and looked down at him.
"We need to talk." she said curtly as he looked up. He shrugged his shoulders and followed her behind the nursery. Lightkit and Rosekit slowly tiptoed over and listened to what they were saying.
"You need to stop paying so much attention to that pitiful scrap." Redstorm growed.
"Excuse me? Last time I checked, you couldn't boss me around Redstorm." Sunstone growled back.
"She's weak! Useless! Ugly! She shouldn't even be here!" she hissed.
"No she's not! She's my daughter as well as yours and you better start treating her like so before I make you!" he hissed. You could practically hear both of them unsheath their claws in fury. Lightkit rushed forwards between them.
"Stop please!" she whined.
"Get away runt!" Redstorm hissed, lashing her claws at Lightkit. Her claws connected and crossed over the scar from Treepaw, making an X. Blood instantly started flowing out of the wound, dripping onto the ground below. Redstorm's claws were red and shiny with Lightkit's blood, giving them a frightening glare. Sunstone rushed to Lightkits side to look at her.
"Just go! Just leave!" he hissed at Redstorm. She scoffed.
"Fine. Whatever." she said, padding out. Sunstone picked Lightkit up and rushed her over to the medicine cat den, ignoring all cats. He rushed in and set her down.
"Watercloud! Rainpaw!" he yowled. They came rushing out and gasped.
"Marigold and cobwebs stat!" Watercloud yowled, rushing to Lightkit's side. Rainpaw rushed off and got the said items.
"What happened?" Watercloud asked.
"Redstorm happened." he growled, licking his daughter's head. Watercloud dressed the wound and fed her half a poppy seed.
"She'll be fine. Just let her sleep it off. I want her to stay in here for now because that wound is deeper than the one Treepaw gave her." Watercloud said. Sunstone nodded to her, picking Lightkit up gently. He carried her to an empty nest and curled up around her. Licking her head, he drifted off to sleep.
