Growing Up Is...Weird

[Liz]

Hey everyoneeee!!! Im back!!!

BIC:
Fatekit woke up to the sound of the wind blowing through the trees, making them sway and groan. It was almost sunhigh, the sound of warriors walking against the wind and talking loudly because their voices are carried off by the wind sounding inside the stuffy room of the nursery, a place where Fatekit felt she had been for far too long. Fatekit stretched, flexing her black claws and a shiver runs through her as the wind seems to sweep into the den. Her silver-blue fur rippled as she shook herself, the light brown undercoat barely visible and her white splashed paws delicatly walking around the other kits and queens. Fatekits now hazel eyes, mostly green, were wide and stared intently at the entrance of the den. Without anyone to stop her, she walked into the full sunlight, blinking a few times from the blinding light and feeling the warm, humid air squeeze around her. Looking around, she saw many warriors and even the elders all sunning themselves, taking in the warmth while they could before another storm raged in as they had for the past few days, violent storms breaking trees and sending continous flashing of white light through the clouds and roars of thunder that shook the earth. Fatekit knew them all too well, she had been awake for everysingle one, frightened of them but also entranced. She would find herself at the edge of the den, intently watching the storm and all the rage that it brought with it; all the beautiful yet frightening anger and power......It was times like that that Fatekit wished her mother was here with her; she used to watch over her during snow storms but Fatekit was only recently introduced to these power storms that came with pouring rain: Her worst fear. But Fatekit was glad that her father was with her, her only family left here. At least I have somebody here with me. Others have no one. But I cannot help but wish for my mother to return to me......I wish that I could take everything bad that happened to her and throw it away forever so she couldve stayed....

Whiteheart sat up when she heard Fatekit. "Hello little one, sleep well?" she asked. She knew the kit was thinking about her family. "Dont fret Fatekit, you are not alone, I have lost both my parents but i have one family member, my brother. He gives me joy just as your father does you".

[Butterflystar]

The voices carry across the camp and filt into Butterflystar's ears as she sits perched up on the highrock, looking out over the camp and its rising warriors and other clan mates. Butterflystar notices Fatekit sitting outside the nursery and WhiteHeart behind her, speaking to her. Butterflystar can only make out a few words but she trys not to listen in.. just taking in the sun that dries her damp fur. Each night that theres been a violent thunderstorm, she would sit ontop of the highrock or just at her den entrance, letting the rain cool her body as she took in its miraculous sight.. Butterflystar loved storms.. even though she knew they only brought harm and destruction, they also brought rain to water the flowers and trees and plants, and also filled the rivers and streams.. sometimes they would even cause a delay in fights when other clans would try to attack. But she just couldn't help but fall in love with them.. they soothed her when she was alone her sad or angry. They gave her hope, the thunder booming and the lightening flashing and lighting up the skies... she loved it all.. Butterflystar shifts her paws slightly as she looks out over the camp, wondering how much damage has been done to the forest since the storms started. A patrol would be back soon with a report but for now she can only wait and guess.

Fatekit turned to look at Whiteheart with understanding eyes. "I know, Whiteheart. I love my father and everyone my mother told me about. This entire clan," Fatekit waves her tail to gesture the entire camp. "carries my mother in them and in them all, I can see and understand more about her." Fatekit says quietly, mindful of the still sleeping kits, and smiles gratefully at Whiteheart as her hazel eyes scan over her. "Just the same as you do your mother and your brother his father." Fatekit tips her head to the side in a bit of confusion and she blinks her wide eyes. "Who is your brother and mother, anyway, Whiteheart." She asks, not even having to ask who the queens father was because she had heard enough stories about Weaselstar to know that he used to lead Lightningclan, fell in love with Rainstar, was banished for reasons not to be mentioned, but came back and was killed as a good cat , thereafter being avenged by Rainstar who died to kill the murderous cat Blackclaw.

[Seasons]

"Well... you have heard about Waterstar's death and Thunderstar as the new leader of lightningclan, correct?" Whiteheart replied her voice soft. In her mind she hoped to be the mentor of this kit, she had never had a apprentice. "And my mother... i have long since forgotten her name but if i remember correctly your mother learned a little about her when she watched my old clans camp for tanglefur" Whiteheart meowed returning to her licking.

[Whiskertail]

Whiskertail a far way off could hear all the talk and started to think about all the thinks that have been taken away from her long ago such as her mentor and her mentor's daughter all that she ever really cared for the most family but then she came back to her senses and realizes this is my family the whole of Moonclan was her family and she could never change that and neither could they. She new that everyone in a clan had somebody but sometimes its not the same sometimes you want that really close connection with someone. Someone like a friend or family member that is not just a clan member to you but even specialer. As Whiskertail warmed her fur she thought of all the cats that were taken away from there friedns or family in either battles or sickness. But they still have the clan

[Liz]

Fatekit's eyes widened. "I didnt know that Waterstar had died." She said, voice drenched in grief and hazel eyes clouded as she turned to look at Whiteheart. "But.....I'm sure that the deputy will be a great leader." Fatekit smiles a small smile and eyes struggling to brighten. It seemed that every cat that had known about her mother was dying and she was powerless to help, to stop all of the fighting and bloodshed. "Whiteheart, could you tell me alittle bit more about my mother?" Fatekit says absentmindedly, turning around and tucking her white paws neatly underneath her chest, eyes intent on the queen.

[Seasons]

"Well... i didnt know your mother as good as most cats, i once was lightningclan you know" whiteheart stopped licking to stare into the kits eyes as she spoke. "But i do know she was brave, the clan loved her more then she thought, we would have killed our own kits if it meant saving her life" Whiteheart licked her paw before continuing. "Their was something about Rainstar that made everyone... peaceful, i guess thats what Weaselstar saw in her".

[Liz]

Fatekit licks her chest fur and lays her head on her paws, feeling the suns rays stretching over her lower body and warming it. "I heard stories about her and Weaslestar. Can you tell me more, pleaseee?" Fatekit pressed, eyes wide as she looked up at Whiteheart. "Tell me what she looked like, what her personality was like, I want to know everything I can." Fatekit pleaded, fidgeting and standing up and leainging into Whiteheart's blue-gray fur, taking in the scent of milk and moss, Fatekit's eyes growing heavy and a yawn escaping her as she shook herself awake.

[Seasons]

"Tanglefur was headed to the moonstone when Rainstar found her on our land, Tanglefur asked Rainstar to go to my old camp and look after it since the cats were not behaving properly. When Rainstar got their Weaselstar greeted her. There is a great deal that no one knows about that happened after that. I remember that weaselstar returned and wa smade deputy, then soon after, leader. Something happened to him that made him go crazy for a moment. He and Blackclaw went out with a few kits and blackclaw lef tthem to die, weaselstar didnt want to let them suffer so he killed them. Blackclaw ran to the camp and claimed my father killed the kits and they belived him. Weaselstar was exiled. The rest you know, he returned, blackclaw killed hiom and rainstar avenged him" Whiteheart returned to her grooming thinking how to describe rainstar to the kit.

[Liz]

Fatekit closed her eyes and imagined the scenes in her head, picturing the entire story. But things were left out, things that couldnt ever be recovered,.....unless she went to Lightningclan and found out herself. The pieces of this story had to be found and put together so as not to be forgotten. "Tell me about Rainstar, how she looked." Fatekit mewed quietly, hearing the deep breathing of Whiteheart as she leaned against her, buried in her fur.

[Seasons]

"Well... your mother was a beautiful blue gray she cat. She had white paws. Her tail tip and muzzle were white also. She had a stream of bark blue running along face. Her green eyes sparkled like the brightest star of starclan and her pelt... it was strange. Silver stars seemed to line the pelt, almost as if starclan were with her. Sadly though, she didnt believe fully in Starclan" Whiteheart finished.

[Liz]

Fatekit tensed with surprise. "She didnt believe in Starclan?" She whispered, staring up at Whiteheart with large green eyes. It was then that she noticed that Whiteheart looked alot like her mother. "Why didnt she? She had to! She was a leader, she got her nine lives and visited Starclan and drempt about them and everything! How could she not believe in them?" Fatekit wailed, knowing what this news meant: That she would never triely see her mother in her dreams, nor speak with her. Because of her lack of faith, Rainstar had left her daughter motherless.

[Seasons]

"I am not quite sure Fatekit. I know she had her lives because she did die multiple times but why she didnt believe, i dont know" Whiteheart felt a tear run down her face. Atleast this kit knew her mother a little, she had nothing to go on though. Whiteheart never and would never know her mother, only her father. Yawning Whiteheart continued "Maybe you should go see with Owlfeather to lightningclan, i am sure Sandclaw will speak to you. The elders might even know more then I". Whiteheart layed her head on her paws and fell asleep.

[Liz]

Fatekit shook her head, pushing back any sadness she had and tore away from the sleeping queen, out into the blinding sunlight. She had permisson to be out here, and now she could go where they wanted. Searching the clearing, Fatekit looked for Owlfeather, trying to pick up a trace of him on the wind but all were stale. "Owlfeather?" Fatekit squeaked, but when no answer came, her tail drooped and she went to the only place she felt she could trueing express herself: The medicine cats den. Fatekit walked along the edge of the nursery and strode over to the strong smelling den, her silver fur flashing in the sunlight and the breeze made it seem like waves of water. "Silverwhisp?" Fatekit called quietly into the den, trying to not choke on the sudden, overwhelming scent of burdock and catmint.
