To clear up any confusion, this story used to have 4 chapters and the story took place in Thunderclan and Hawkkit was the daughter of Squrrielflight and Bramblestar and was in their second litter. But i decided to go with this idea that i had first i honestly like it better i won't lie.
So another random note before the story starts since i have graduated high school as of may 25th
I might, MIGHT update my stories frequently. I say this because i am soon to be married to my loving significant other of 5 years, so yeah i might still be pretty busy, but you heard enough im sure so here is the story.
I do not own warriors only my oc's
-chapter 2-
The young dark brown she-kit was to her dismay prodded awake she looked up to the amber eyes of her mother, Palmheart.
"Hawk-kit, your siblings are waiting for you. I have decided that you kits have had enough of only playing in the nursery tunnels so i am taking you all outside to meet your father"
The young kit fluffed up her plumy dark brown tail, to her mother and the other nursery queens thought this was out of excitement but no it was out of fear. 'What if they don't like me? What if they treat me like Quailfeather?' the little kit stood up straight on the scratchy palm leaves and moss nest.
Palmheart stood as well, the young kit looked up at her mother in amazement and wonder at the brute queen 'i want to be a brute warrior like her one day!' almost all the fear and anxiety that was there before vanished and was replaced with at least a little confidence.
"Palmheart are you sure they are ready? Their paw pads haven't even fully hardened up yet the hot ground might burn their precious paws" Dappleheart one of the oldest queens in the nursery mewed her voice filled with concern.
"Oh Dappleheart you worry too much their pads will harden up faster outside not to mention they will get used to the sun a lot quicker" her mother's whiskers twitched with amusement but her eyes were full with understanding of the queens words.
"Well hawk-kit letus get going we don't want to make your littermates wait too long" Not giving her any time to complain, the dust brown queen led her youngest kit to the entrance of the nursery where her brother and sister,Snakekit and Ravenkit her wrestling on the ground getting their pelts all dirty.
"Finally! I thought you were going to be asleep forever!" her sister Ravenkit mewed with annoyance as she spotted her younger sister, the dark grey she-kit pushed her brother off with her hind legs and shook her pelt.
"Hey don't be so hard on Hawk-kit, she smaller than us so she needs more rest" the dark brown she kit's ears twitched with indignation at her brother's words 'i may be small but i can still kick your hide!' she thought before pouncing on her brother thus starting another wrestling match and kicking up dust.
"Alright that is enough! I want you three to look presentable to the clan not look like ground squirrels!" the queen who was amused while looking at her kits finally decided it was time to intervene before someone cut their ear or nicked a claw.
The three kits mewled with protest as soon as their mother gathered them with her white paws and gave them a good wash "all you are all ready to see the Desertclan camp and the clan within. The queen looked at her kits with pride but also worry. The queen out-stretched a white paw to moves the palm leaves that guard the nursery tunnel letting in the bright sunlight. All three kit winced at the sudden their mother shielded their eyes with her tail to provide a little more shade "I know that it is bright but i am sure that you will get used to it.
For now squint your eyes like this" she demonstrated but closing her eyes almost all the way but enough so that we could still see her eyes.
After a few moments of adjusting the trio made their way out of the nursery tunnel with their mother trailing behind them.
The three marveled at how big and somewhat open the camp was and the tall and proud tree that stood in the middle of the camp.
"Do not be too intimidated go and explore i have to speak with your father" the queen crouched beside her kits a spoke words of comfort which seemed to boost their confidence and curiosity,as soon she sensed that her kits were comforted she the stood to full height and padded off to the opening underneath the tree, with a flick of her feathery tail she disappeared.
"Let's go! Mom said we can walk anywhere in camp!"
"Let's find Coyote-kit an Ant-kit! They always have the best games!"
"No lets see the elders"
"How about visiting bright frost?"
"And be around those smelly herbs? Ick! No way!"
The kits argued about that for a while until a dark brown tom with black ears and green eyes shoved them out of the way.
"You three need to stop, you are crowding the camp and being so loud you scare away all the rabbits!" he snapped at all three kits before rounding on Hawk-kit
"And you! Why are you so small? You shouldn't even be allowed out of the nursery tunnel yet! Who is your mother i'm taking you to her right now!" before the moon old kit could get a word out. The apprentice she now recognized as darkpaw roughly picked her up by the scruff and swung her to the other side of the camp in front of the nursery tunnel.
"That is what you get for being a stupid runt!" darkpaw shouted.
She recognized him from the times when he and his brother sunpaw went into the nursery tunnel to clean out the bedding but he didn't really notice her until now.
Her paws hurt and so did her back, but she didn't move she was too scared.
'I was right! They don't like me because i'm smaller than all the other kits!'
She was even more startled but a shadow covering her shivering form.
She cautiously looked up to see Sorrelcreek staring down at her,
Once he saw that she was alright he looked the dark apprentice in the eyes and growled furiously
"Don't you know who's kits these are?! How dare you Darkpaw i thought better of you than to throw a one moon old kit halfway across camp!"
"Well she was being loud and why should i care whos kit she is for all i know she is a rogue!"
The Desertclan deputy lowered his head and snarled
"Take a good look at her and tell me what nursery queen she reminds you of and look at her eyes and tell me you do not recognize them" he moved off of her and nudged the brown kit to her paws.
"Now that i look at her in the right light she reminds me Palmheart but why should i care?"
The ginger deputy flicked his tail impatiently
"But who is Palmheart's mate?"
As soon as the realization hit him his ears fell flat against his head and his tail tucked between his legs and his eyes went wide.
"What have i done? Oh starclan no.."
"Thats right i will be telling him right now but you will no longer be taking part in patrols or gatherings until these kits are apprenticed or until i think you have relearned the warrior code"
With that the deputy stormed off into the same tunnel that the three kits mother disappeared into, and reappears momentarily with her mother running to her full pelt and covering her with comforting licks while a big muscular grey tabby tom with the sharpest amber eyes she has ever seen come out of the tunnel with his tail lashing furiously and storms over to the apprentice.
"Darkpaw oh Darkpaw what have you done"
The tom bared his fangs menacingly at the cowering apprentice
"I'm sorry i didn't recognize her as your kit! I have never seen her in nursery at all!" he was immediately silenced him by slashing his ears.
"For breaking the warrior code and harming my youngest kit your punishment will be that you will be doing basic apprentice duties and no patrols or gatherings until i think you are worthy of that privilege"
"Oh and one more thing darkpaw.." the leader said over his powerful shoulder
At the sound of his name darkpaw looked up meekly at his leader
"Your warrior assessment was supposed to take place today, but because of your actions you will not be joining your brother and Scorpionpaw during the assessment"
"I...i understand Adderstar.." red liquid dribbled down his slashed ear after the scolding the apprentice ran off towards a tunnel which the young hawk-kit assumed was the apprentice tunnel.
"Come let's get her to Brightfrost" Palmheart didn't have to be told twice as she immediately picked up her kit and quickly padded to the medicine tunnel.
"No need to explain i heard everything i was just about to go and check on her"
She reached out with her muzzle to grab my scruff but my mother instinctively pulled back.
"Palmheart i know you are concerned for your kit but Cactuspaw and i need to check her and i can not do that while you are holding her"
With a sigh the queen set her down on the palm leaves and moss nest .
Brightfrost sniffed the kits pelt and checked her paws.
"Good news her front left paw is just sprained she will be fine in a couple of sun rises, the best i can give her is a poppy seed to sleep"
The kit knows what poppy seeds do and voiced her protest.
"I want to take it later i want to see the camp!"
Seeing that there was no way to dissuade the kit the medicine cat gave in with a reluctant sigh
"Fine but before sundown i will go to the nursery to give you the poppy seeds myself"
As they were about to exit the tunnel the medicine cat muttered to herself
"The hawks talons.."
The she kit shrugged it off and padded out of the tunnel happy that she was out of that odd smelling tunnel.
"Im sorry you had to see that young one" the same huge grey tabby tom was look down at her but instead with ager in his eyes the emotion was replaced with gentleness and love.
"Who are you?" she asked in wonder as she stared up at his amber eyes seeing amusement flicker in them like light through the leaves.
"I am Adderstarr, leader of Desert clan. I am also your father Hawk-kit"
Her tail fluffed up with excitement.
' im finally meeting him! I can't wait until i see the looks on Raven-kit and Snakekit's faces when i tell them!'
"Why haven't you visited before? Don't you love us? Momma said you do"
He let out a rumbling purr
"There were many times when i wanted to believe me, but my duties as leader interfered with my duty as a father but i'm glad i got to meet at least one of my kits today" he leaned his broad head down and touched noses with his youngest daughter.
After a quick game with her father's tail, she scampered off to the nursery tunnel to gloat to her littermates about her time with their father, which promptly started a wrestling match between the three kits on who would get to meet their father next.
During the playfight hawk-kit though to herself
'Maybe one day i'll be a leader like my father or at least a warrior to be proud of like my mother'
Little did she know that she was being watched from from just outside the nursery tunnel by the clan's most despised warrior.
