Skyfall's Storm: Chapter One - Opposites
Skykit writhed in her moss nest next to her mother and her brother, Frostkit. Her tiny jaws parted as she stretched out her tiny paws, extending her claws into the soft surface of moss. She settled back down beside her mother and brother calmly, sighing with satisfaction of her comfortale moss bed and the warmth of her kin beside her. There was nothing more she could ask for, as a kit. Words disrupted her thoughts as she lay there, her whiskers twitching as she listened. "That's an awfully calm pair of kits you have, Palewhisker! You're very lucky," Commented one of the queens, Burdockfoot, who was close to kitting. When you were near the queen, you could even smell her milk! Skykit thought it was a good smell- a warm, soothing smell that could calm anyone in the clan. "Thank you, Burdockfoot! I'm glad that I have been gifted with these beautiful kits. Frostkit, and Skykit.. Now I just have to wait for them to open their eyes!" Skykit's mother, Palewhisker, noted with happiness. Burdockfoot purred, and then returned to grooming herself. Skykit sighed. ''When can I open my eyes and go? There is so much to see!''

Skykit yawned again as she was nudged by her mother. With all her might, she attempted to open her eyes. When they opened, sunlight flashed onto them. They were a deep, bright blue color, which reflected the color of the sky. Skykit squealed, glancing around at the nursery. It was all so huge- so amazing! Just as she had suspected. Palewhisker purred, curling her tail around her kits with happiness. "You've opened your eyes! Welcome to the world, little one," she meowed, grooming Skykit and Frostkit's heads. Frostkit hissed in protest, shaking himself wildly. "Mama! Can we go outside? Please, please, please?!" Skykit meowled, tail twitching in excitement. Palewhisker was about to open her jaws to protest it, until Burdockfoot stepped in. "I'm sure they should go out, Palewhisker! Remember when you and I were kits and had just opened our eyes? I say go ahead, kits!" She purred, blinking softly down at the two with a fond look in her eyes. Palewhisker rolled her pale yellow gaze and sighed. "I suppose so, Skykit. Do not go outside of the camp!" She meowed, nudging the kits on. Skykit leaped to her tiny paws and bounded out, stumbling slightly with clumsiness. Frostkit was more hesitant to follow, but followed Skykit after. Skykit's mouth dropped with awe. The camp was huge! There was a tiny stream in the middle, with a tiny waterfall, where a couple of cats were washing themselves in the water or taking a drink from it. The fresh kill pile was a little to the left of it, and Skykit could see two apprentices, Skunkpaw and Silverpaw, choosing some prey. Palewhisker padded out behind them with an almost inaudible purr: "Go ahead, kits! Go meet some of your clanmates!" Skykit and Frostkit exchanged an amused glance, and then they bounded off in the direction of the creek. The splashed their paws playfully in it, giggling. "Look at me! I'm a warrior apprentice already!" Skykit squealed, splashing her brother. Grumbling was heard behind her, and Skykit saw Frostkit hunch down, fear in his gaze. Skykit growled and turned around, half expecting it to be a Briarclan fox-heart, but only found the medicine cat, Bumblenose, standing over them. "This stream is not for playing in! This is important to Streamclan, you better not mess with it! How would you feel if kits were splashing in the pool while you tried to collect herbs on the edges, and only found that they were soaked!?" Bumblenose hissed at them, her sharp amber eyes narrowing with annoyance. Frostkit squealed in response, tucking his paws near himself. "What are herbs?" He meowed, tilting his head. Bumblenose narrowed her eyes and muttered, before responding bluntly. "Well.. Herbs are plants that medicine cats like myself use to heal our clanmates. Some, like these that you have spoiled," She paused to twitch her tail in the direction of a clump of leaves just near the bank of the creek, and then continued: ".. are called horsetail. they bring up strength in a cat when they need it, and these are marigold stems, they-..." Bumblenose continued on, and Skykit rolled her eyes. ''Why should I want to know about medicine cat stuff? I'm going to be a warrior! ''She padded off, away from the two, as Frostkit listened to every one of Bumblenose's words. Skykit found herself at a den's entrance. It was a fallen tree with bracken over the sides of it, and she could see cats inside of it and hear them speaking. "When I was an apprentice, there was this dog in the territory! It chased us all the way to camp, but I decided to turn and... Well, would you look at that? A new kit!" The voice pumelled on until the cat had seemed to have spotted Skykit. She hesitated, narrowing her bright blue eyes, and then trampelled into the den with an amused look in her eyes. Two elderly cats sat next to eachother, a friendly glare in their old eyes. One of them, Goosewing, purred, her pale green eyes wide with excitement. Her mate, Mousetail, smiled brightly at Skykit, his orange eyes gleaming. "Welcome to the clan, young one! You're Skykit, correct?" He asked, his tail sweeping the den's floor. Skykit nodded, and took a seat next to the elder. "Well, I might as well tell you the story about how I once chased a dog out of our territory! Sit here, young one," Goosewing meowed, waiting until Skykit was comfortable. Skykit listened intently as the elderly warrior told about the story, and her gaze began to tremble with tiredness.
