Feathermist's Hardship

Chapter 1

 Feather slowly opened her blue eyes, she felt as if all the energy she ever had was drained from her. All she could hear in her head were her mother's wails as she was being swept away. She looked up and stared in awe, sparkling rocks and stunning shells were woven onto a reedy like roof. She could also hear water outside which frightened her. But the question was, where was she? 

  Suddenly, a golden colored kit walked clumsily to her. He had a bushy tail and kind blue eyes. 

  "Hello," he purred, "you should be getting some rest Silverwish, Heathersong, and Rainbelly found you two sunrises ago half drowned, looks like you weren't born a dry paw." 

 "I need to find my parents, so if you can please get out of my way my day would be perfect." she snapped. 

 "Calm down, you seem like a fox in a fit, and who knows where your parents are, you had loner scent on you but the river washed most of it away. Name's Goldenkit by the way, I didn't catch yours." he smiled a little. 

"Feather, my name is Fea-," before Feather could finish introducing herself, Goldenkit let out a mrrow of laughter. 

"That can't possibly be your name! Shellstar, our leader, has accepted you into the clan despite your loner blood and might change your name to Featherkit." he then started licking himself near a tuft of fur on his puffy chest.

Feather was ready to hiss at Goldenkit to move out of the way when suddenly an old looking she-cat appeared at the entrance and was padding towards Feather. She was a gray colored cat with flecks that almost appeared black scattered around her pelt and some on her tail. She had kind light blue eyes and she smelled of herbs. 

  "Hello little one," she purred, "How do you feel? Are you hungry, tired, thristy?" 

  "I'm just hungry I guess, I want to go back find my parents. And where am I?" Feather asked.

  "I'll get you prey in just a moment, and about your parents," she paused, "it's far too dangerous to leave camp, especially if you came a long way from our river. I'll go get some prey now for you just wait here." She started padding away into the entrance and Feather could see beyond the entrance. It was reedly and pebbly with many cats outside. 

  "Oh and just so you know my name's Mintfur, and welcome to your new home, RiverClan." Mintfur called out. 

  "That's our medicine cat, she's very nice and can speak with StarClan! How cool is that!" Goldenkit mewed. 

  "Who or what is StarClan? And what's a medicine cat?" Feather asked.  

Goldenkit just stared at her with eyes of disbelief, "Just to summarize it, StarClan are our ancestors who protect and guide us, and a medicine cat is a cat who can speak with StarClan I believe every Half-moon and they go to this place called the MoonStone in order to do so, and they heal all of us, do you understand?" Goldenkit said exhaustedly after explaining everything he had always known when he was first born.

Feather then smelled the scent of herbs once again and knew Mintfur was back. Mintfur sat beside Feather and dropped something that smelled funny. 

  "Come on, give it a try, it's what we mostly eat here." Mintfur smiled warmly. 

Feather licked the strange smelling prey and realized it tasted better. In a few hungry bites she had eaten all the meat. 

  "This was delicious!" Feather purred delightfully. I could get used to this life, Feather thought. 

"Shellstar might give you a tour around the camp but it might be in the next moon or so." Mintfur mewed.
"And I already talked to Shellstar about this matter, your new name shall be Featherkit, I'm sure you will be a strong warrior." Mintfur purred before she got up and padded away.
