Hazelkit was knocked out of her warm spot by her littermates. Hazelkit rolled over and blinked a couple of times. Sagekit was now in her spot and Crowkit was in Sagekits spot. "Hey!" Hazelkit hissed.

She leapt onto Sagekit and dug her tiny sharp claws into Sagekits neck. Sagekit yowled and shrugged her off. Sagekit jumped over to her side. Crowkit leapt to his paws and rolled his eyes.

"Its not my fault. Crowkit pushed me!" Sagekit neowed. Hazelkit sheathed her claws and rolled her eyes.

"Did not!"
"Did to!"
"Did not!"
"Did to!"
"Nuh uh!"
"Uh huh!"

Her littermates kept arguing. Hazelkit sighed and took a step forward and sat down in her mothers warmth. She looked at the entrance of the nursery. She saw a large tom that looked like her. She bounded over to him curiously.

The tom looked down at Hazelkit with big eyes. "Hello young one." The tom meowed. The argueing quited down and her littermates padded next to Hazelkit. "H-hi?" Hazelkit mewed never seeing this tom before.

"Im your father. Rockfall." Rockfall smiled and raised a paw over Hazelkit. Hazelkit shrunk down and crouched feeling strange. By her fathers paw. Rockfall let out a mrrow of laughter. "What will you do?" He continued to laugh. Hazelkit narrowed her eyes and leapt up and held onto Rockfalls paw.

She kept a good grip into his paw. Rockfall fell silent and rested his paw lower to the ground. Hazelkit leapt off of his paw and turned around facing him agian.

Hazelkit tilted her head to the side curiously. "My little warrior." Rockfall purred. Hazelkit twitched her ears with comfort and padded back over to her mother. She rested in her fur and fell asleep.

The leader gazed down into a small pool full of reeds. Each reed swayed curiously. The orange tom glared deeper into the pool with a dark grey scruffy she cat. The three kits appeared. Hazelkit, Crowkit and Sagekit.

"Theese are the kits?" The grey she cat asked. "Yes. Starclan has chosen them to guide the clans. They must choose either to be a warrior or a Medicne cat." The grey she cat gazed deep into the orange cats eyes. "What happenes if theu choose wrong?" The old cat asked curiosly.

"If theu choose wrong... Well... Yellowfang. The clans will be destroyed." The tom meowed slowly and steadily. He dipped his tail tip into the pool of reeds. It calmed himself.

"But... Firestar you kniw if the clans are destroyed there will be nothing... But Starclan." Yellowfang murmured. Firestar sighed knowing very well this would happen.

"We cant say anything to them yet. Give it time. And they should do well." Firestar dipped both paws into the small water pool. He walked in further and floated higher in the air. Going back to Starclan agian.

Yellowfang sighed and took one last long look at the kits. They reminded her of her own kits. She twiched her torn ears and heaved herself up.

She leapt into the cold pool of reeds and traveled up to Starclan.

Hazelkit opened her eyes as the sun gleamed off her pelt. She leapt to her paws excitedly. She heard her leader Falconstar call a clan meeting.

Hazelkit bounded over to the small opening in the nursery braken walls. She squeezed through almost getting stuck at the end. She pulled herself half way out of the nursery.

Suddenly she felt her fur sway awkwardly with the wind. She whipped her head around and saw Sagekit sitting behind her. Hazelkit tilted her head to one side confusingly.

Weres Crowkit?

She thought to herself. She then saw his black sleak fur flash by the small opening in the nursery. Hazelkit wached closely. Seeing her brother launch through the opening.

"Help im stuck!" He wailed. Hazelkit sighed heavily. She bit down on the scruff of his neck and tugged. Freeing him she tumbled backwards. Skidding in the dirt.

She was stopped at the bottom of paws. Hazelkit gave Crowkit a hiss and stood up. Looking up to see who she landed under. There was a silver she cat. Hazelkit let out a little smile as the she cat helped Hazelkit up with a nudge of her paw.

"Thank you. Im Hazelkit!" Hazelkit purred happily. The she cat wrested her tail gently on Hazelkits shoulder. "Im Jaywing." She purred.

Hazelkit nodded and looked around the camp. She has never been out this far. The first thing she spotted was a large clear fast floating stream.

Jaywing spotted the little cats gleam and laughed. "That is a waterfall. It leads down below us to Rockclan. And to the other side of that is Waterclan. And finally Snowclan is high above us were it snows a lot."

Hazelkit nodded slowly still in awe of the water fall. Glancing up she saw Falconstar on top of a large pointed rock. "Thats High rock right?" Hazelkit meowed boucing up and down with joy. Jaywing let a out a mrrow of laughter. "Yeah. Behind us is the nursery were you sleep." Jaywing nodded.

Hazelkit blinked steadily and looked at the base of High rock. There was a large crack in the middle covered with ivy. "Thats the leaders den." Jaywing pointed with her tail to the place were Hazelkit was staring.

Hazelkits gaze traveled to a place closest to the waterfall. It was a rather large crevice. Covered in braken, vines and a few ivy strings. "That is the medicne cat den." Jaywing purred.

Hazelkit nodded and shifted her gaze behind her. There was a medium-sized opening in the rocks. With braken on the outside showing a small opening to the den. "Now that is the apprentiance den."

Hazelkit smiled at the thought. She stared at the apprentiance den for a moment longer and followed her gaze to the size of the leaders den crack. It had ivy hanging from above and some thron bushes. "Thats the warriors den."

Hazelkit looked to the next crevice. It was small. Thinking that must be the warriors den. She studied the dens one last time. "Oh and the Fresh kill pile is below the High rock." Jaywing pointed with her paw.

Hazelkit smiled and brushed her pelt agianst the warriors paws. She bounded back to her littermates. Suddenly she heard Hawkpaths cry from the nursery. Her and her littermates all ran at the same time into the nursery.

They all got crushed hanging from each other. Hazelkit desperately squirmed. Finally freeing herself she pelted over to her mother. She leapt playfully over Hawkpaths paws.

Crowkit tumbled after Hazelkit trampling over her. Hazelkit rolled over and pined him down. Batting at his ears. Crow kit rolled over and nudged Hazelkit off balance. She fell on her side.

Sagekit leapt over Hazelkit and batted with Crowkit. Hazelkit rolled over knocking both of her littermates down and sent a powerful-yet playful- blow at both of them.

They yowled and struggled over to Hawkpath. Hazelkit bounded back over to her and rested down next to her littermates. Playing with Sagekits fur she rolled her paws up and down her fur.

"Stop!" Sagekit yowled. Hazelkit snickered and kept playing with her fur. Sagekit rolled over and kicked Hazelkit away.

Hazelkit pelted onto her and bit down onto her ear. Tugging she bit the very tip of her ear off. The ear peice flopped onto the dirt ground.

Sagekit shreiked and nustled into Hawkpaths fur. "Hazelkit!" Hawkpath growled shooting Hazelkit a bad look. Hazelkit shrunk up feeling small and stalked torwards Crowkit. She lay down next to him.

She shut her eyes. And listened to the clan calmly. She heard mews of joy and expressionless meows. She twiched her ears as Hawkpaths underbelly fur played with Hazelkits ears. She rested a bit more until she fell asleep feeling sorry for her sister.
