What if I am just a gentle tom?

Every cat was surprised when Gentlekit finally opened his eyes for the first time.  But it was not for the new kit beginning to grow up. In fact, those gasps and shocks were for his mother. She was a medicine cat. But he didn't know of it at the time, he didn't know about the warrior code and saying that no medicine cat should have kits ever. 

The leader, Fawnstar walked over with his kit, Crownkit. Crownkit was older than Gentlekit by two moons. Which meant that he knew what was going on. "Dad?" He asked looking at the yellow-brown leader. "What." The leader answered. 

Gentlekit looked at both of the toms. He flinched when Crownkit laid his eyes on him. He meowed, "Why is his mom a medicine cat? Let me guess, his father is a medicine cat too!" 

"Don't be rude, Crownkit, go play with your sister, Brookkit, or I will send you to your mom." Fawnstar hissed. "No! I want to play with Gentlekit." Crownkit said. "Me and Brookkit could use another character to make my game, Fall Cats better!" 

"No, he is too young." Fawnstar meowed. "No!" Crownkit hissed. Gentlekit saw Crownkit's mother, Berryfeather pick him up. He started wailing. Berryfeahter rolled her eyes and walked out of the medicine den. 

Gentlekit heard Crownkit yell, "Gentlekit! You are a big mouse brained fool, who should be thrown in fox dung! Your nothing but a stupid, gentle tom!" Then, Crownkit hissed and spat in furry. Wiggling from his mother's mouth. He pawed her in the face and clawed his way out. He ran back to the medicine den and scored his claws across Gentlekits face. 

Since the whole can was in the medicine den, everyone saw Crownkit hurting Gentlekit. Gentlekit saw his mother growl. He looked back at Crownkit who was still pinning him down. 

"Crownkit!" Fawnstar yelled really loud, it might have popped poor Gentlekit's ears. Berryfeather raced into the medicine den apologized to Gentlekit's mother and bit down on Crownkit's tail. She stalked out of the nursery, cussing. 

Gentlekit couldn't talk yet so he had nothing to say about Crownkit. He just wailed with him. 

That was the only vivid memory that Gentlepaw had as a kit.


"And from now on, your full warrior name will be..." But Fawnstar was interrupted by Gentlepaw. "I want my name to be changed!" He growled, "Gentlepaw is too wussy for a tom."

"Well, what name would you like?" Fawnstar asked. "I want... I want..." Gentlepaw trailed off. Cats began laughing. Making Gentlepaw scared. He felt Crownfeather push him over. Gentlepaw winced and ran into the bushes. 

"Wait! Gentlepaw! Come back!" His mother yelled, but Gentlepaw wouldn't stop. He ran over the territory as he didn't know better than a kit. Gentlepaw noticed a different cat sent. It smelled familiar to Gentlepaw. A big warrior stepped in front of him. Gentlepaw was on ShadowClan territory.
