Faithkits dream(warrior cats series:faith rising, book one)

1. Truth be told

  Faithkit lay next to her mothers belly, snuggling with her.  Her mamas pelt smelled of mouse, and milk.  She opened her eyes for the first time, but no one was up.  Wow, the world is so big, she thought.  She looked at her mothers tan pelt,  then her nest.  It was all so big! Her mother was stiff, waking up with a grunt. "Mama" she called to her mom.

 "My name is moonlight" her mom said, licking her head.  At that moment, a spotted tom strolled in as if he owned the place. "Eeeeeee" her mom said flinching as he walked in.  She sighed in relief, letting her fur go flat.  

 "How's Faithkit", the tom purred, nuzzling her.

" shes fine,Smallspot, "mama said. "Faithkit, this is your dad, smallspot".  Faithkit paused, her eyes glowing with intrest.  She slowly got up, then dashed to smallspot.her paws slipped on a leaf, she tumbled over, rolling into her dad.  "Oomph" she says, smiling.  Faithkit looks up at her dad, his eyes sparkling with amusement.  Faithkit suddenly turned to moonlight.  

   "Mama, can i go outside the den pweaseeeeee," she begged.

 " Ok", mama answered.  Faithkit grinned, her smile as big as the sun.  She looked around, her eyes wide as she exit the nursery. A fluffy cat walked over to her, an even more fluffy cat on her heels.  "Hi", the fluffy cats said in unison. 

" im Sheep'paw,"one said.

 "And im Dovepaw" the other said.  

"Im Faithkit", Faithkit replied shyly.  Her ears twitched as she felt something cold on her nose.  She shook it off thinking.  Am i dying!? Am i dying!? Oh no, im too young die!  she thought frantically.  Turns out she wasn't dying because sheep'paw said," oh, its raining, you better get to the nursery, Faithkit".  Faithkit nodded her head, then raced to the nursery.  It wasn't raining hard, but it still felt weird.

 "Oh, your back Faithkit, wondered where you were," her mama said, narrowing her eyes slightly.  Dovepaw walked in, slipping on a leaf like Faithkit had.  

 "Mouse d-" she stopped when she saw her.  Faithkit noticed her mother nodding in thanks for some reason.  She handed the mouse to moonlight, and moonlight nodded in thanks agin, mumbling.  Affter moonlight finished the mouse she lay down to sleep.  Faithkit lay down next to her, closing her eyes for nap time. It had been a long day, and there was still more of it!  Darkness took her world as she fell asleep.

The screeches seemed moons away, but Faithkit forced her eyes open.  Her mom was gone, the camp was empty, and the nursery seemed smaller.  Had the water at her legs always been there?  The water was rising, until she noticed the whole camp was under Water.  Faithkit screeched as a stone hit her, pushing her underwater.  The current was stronger than expected, you could think this was a really bad river.  Her body stayed under water, no matter how hard she tried to get up.  A calmness washed over her as darkness edged her view.  Suddenly, her head was pushed out of the water, onto a rock.  She clawed the rock, franticly climbing it.  She lay flat on the rock,  coughing up a bit of water, and in a few places, like her belly,  weird red water came out.  And when she licked it, it tasted gross.  She closed her eyes, the pain almost unbearable.

      She wailed for her mom, her dad, Dovepaw or Sheep'paw.  For anyone, but no one came, and a stone weght formed in belly.  It felt like moons, but perhaps it had just been a few hours, when a small area of water cleared.  She could wade through the water or she could try to swim.  Will i ever be a warrior?  she thought, her ears drooping.  A voice seemed to be calling her.  Faithkit decided to wade through the water.  As she did, the pain on her legs and belly became unbarable, and she fell, right on the water, her muzzle barely not under.

  She woke up in a den, it had only a few herbs in it.  A ginger cat was treating over her.   "Who are you," Faithkit asked.  

 " I'm Flameheart the medicine cat apprentice," said Flameheart.  Faithkit winced in pain as he licked some stuff onto her scratches. 

 "Whats that," she asked intrested.  

 "It's marigold," he said, not looking up.  

 "Ok," she meowed.  Faithkit looked around the flooded camp, her eyes wide.

"So, why didnt you run out of camp, moonlight said she woke you,"  flameheart asked, his ears twitching.

"No one woke me up, i felt water on my legs," she replied, stunned.  Flameheart looked as stunned as she felt.  

Wasnt she just an ordinary kit?  

With an ordinary life?  

Did her mom hate her?  

Was starclan real?  

Her mother didnt wake her, or help her. She was saved by water,  By starclan.  At that moment faithkit realized just how good it was to have a life, not only as a warrior, but as a medicine cat too.  Truth be told, she knew, she had a good life so far, with Dovepaw, with Sheep'paw, and with flameheart, all her friends, her life was that important, and she loved it.

   It didnt matter if people hated her, she was still lucky to be alive, and not dead like her littermates who had died, at birth, their names were Applekit and Hopkit, only ever got one breath, not even two.  Faithkit felt  guilty she survived.  It followed along with anger at her mother.  Moonlight didnt know, she thought, arguing with herself.  She forgot about everything else, lost in thought.  I deserve here, I do, I really really do.  She convinced herself, sighing.  Starclan was awesome, they let her live, they would someday take her sould and she would be a star amoung the sky's, but that wasnt until a very long time, she didnt know how, but somehow Faithkit knew, she just didnt, no idea how, but starclan would wait for her, but before they took her, she had a destiny to fufil, a destiny only she knew about.
