Prompt:

It hurt Blaze to look at Pebble. So much he resembled his mother.
True, he had inherited the marking on his face from him, but the colour and the stripes on his legs were all Amber.
Oh, how he missed her. Sometimes, when Pebble asked him questions, curious about the sun and the stars and always willing to learn, he felt his chest tighten, leaving him unable to breathe.
Most of the time he was glad that Amber lived on in their son, and knew she was smiling down on them from wherever she was now. But sometimes he also wished that Pebble would not remind him of her with every word he said, every silly quirk, every tilt of his head.
In every gesture, Blaze saw his first, last, and only love of his life.
The kit did not recall much of her, as she had died early in his time in this world, but Blaze looked forward to the day Pebble would be old enough to understand death and passing away and they would be able to reminisce together.
Until then, he would be there for Pebble and protect him with his life.

Prompt:

Pebble knew there was something wrong with Blaze. His father always looked at him with pain in his eyes, even though he smiled and told stories and tussled with him and told him that everything was fine when he asked.
Pebble saw through that.
In the beginning, he had wondered if he had done anything wrong, if he had given his father any reasons to be cross or disappointed.
Yet, there were also moments the two of them had shared where Blaze had seemed genuinely happy, laughing with his eyes, and purring from the heart.
The kit felt that there must be something different, something deeper and possibly darker, that his father was not yet ready to talk about.
In his dreams he sometimes saw flashes of another life, earlier, and felt a rough tongue cleaning him, a voice telling him that he was loved, amber eyes staring into his, surrounded by fur the same colour as his. Pebble had not told Blaze about this, sensing that his father would not react too well.
Until Blaze would be ready to share about their shared past, Pebble would be there for him and protect him with everything he had.

Age: 5 years
Prompt:

Fellswoop heard the kit before the rest of his hunting party. Near the low thunderpath at the base of the mountain. He had noticed the foul blood smell before he heard the kit. He flinch and flicked his tail to stop the party. The kit was mewing for its mother. He really didnt want to find a kit hit by a monster but, he had to check it out. he was the first to the span of bushes beside the thunderpath. The kit was unharmed but the skinny she-cat beside him was gored. He looked away. He knew she was dead, it would be a waste of time to bring her back to the medicine den, let alone waste their mecicine cats time with healable cats. The kit had gone silent, his liquid eyes watering. Be pick up the kit and motioned for his warriors to follow him. He gave the kit to the medicine cat and collapsed on the ground of the warrior den.

The next morning the medicine cat nudged him awake the kit was next to her. "She wont go with any of the queens in the nursery." Her pleading eyes convinced him immedeantly. He pick the kit up and walked to the nursery, laying down on one of the empty nests. The kit went to sleep fast. He enjoyed the fresh moss and also went to sleep. The queens found it funny that Fellswoop was staying in the nursery. He endured the wispers and the giggling. The kits enjoyed him. His ki (as he was calling her) would not play no matter how much he told her it would be fine. She mewed for him when he left to hunt but stayed quiet when he was their. As long as he stayed in camp she was behind him.

It took a week or two for Bigtail to decide to let Fellswoop name her. So he thoght it out and decided to call her Poolkit after her big glittering blue eyes. She smiled and told him that she didnt remember what her momma named her before. As time passed she talked more. Mostly to Fellswoop himself. After about a moon she warmed up to the other kits too. Even so she followed him around camp most of the time. Eating, breathing and sleeping with him. The unease he felt about being the only tom in the nursery. The queens has decided him and Poolkit werent as starge as orgianly thought. They had all settled into the new flow. He knew that he wouldnt be allowed to train her but he thought she would make a great hunter and couldnt wait to run with her.

Prompt:

Poolkit rememberd when her mother died. Poolkit had not been named. Her mother was weak and trying febally to hunt for her kit. Poolkit was in the bushes when the large blue monster hit her mother, flinging her to Poolkit's side of the thunderpath. It hit her hard and the kit couldnt bear the bloody mess. The last thing her mother actally did was drag herself to her kit.

I took a whole day for her to stop yowling and quiet down. In the next few day she mewed for her momma. She quieted when a large flame-and-cream head popped into her bush. His face soffend when he saw her. She noticed the way he wouldnt look at his mother but, was thankful for his help. He picked her up in the way his mother would have done. When he dropped her off with the strangly comforting sents. This cat looked her up and down, asking her questions about how she felt. At the end of the hour this cat lead Poolkit to a small soft nest.

In the morning she lead Poolkit to a nursery filled with mothers and crawled to a cat with kits about Poolkit's age. When she told Poolkit to stay here the kit said no. Poolkit wanted the tom who had rescuded her from death. The strange smelling cat struged and brought her to a muskyer mountain cave. The tom was half asleep. It dodnt take convincing to follow the strang smelling cat to the nursery. When they had arrived they settled in a soft nest and both fell asleep. Even if he had taken her from her mother she felt a natrual inclination twords him. He took great care of her. Whenever he wandered around camp, she followed. When he left for hunting she yowled for him. Many of the queens sniggerd about the "tom-queen" and Poolkit figured that he was being made fun of.

It took a week for Bigtail to let Him name her. Poolkit. That was her name. She decided it did no one any good to stay so quiet so she started chatting with Fellswoop and playing with the other kits. Fellswoop often told her she was a destiened hunter. He really belived in her, and even though she wasnt really his he still sayed in the nursery with her. He was her father.

Age: 5 moons
Prompt:

The orange she-cat woke with a start as a body fell onto hers.

"Jeez, you old lady, get up, we have a hunting patrol to go on!" The familiar voice of Wolfkit made Flamewhisker groan.

"Wolfkit," she started rolling over and pinning the kit on his back easily, "you aren't an apprentice, so you don't go on hunts yet, and I just did a night watch, so I am very tired, very grumpy, and ready to eat you if you come and bother me again. Also get out of the warriors den." She let the small tom go, watching as he scampered out only turning back to stick his tongue out at her.

"Don't you think that was a little harsh?" the sweet voice of Pinewind chirped up beside her.

"No, he needs to learn his boundaries, plus he's my sister's child. I made her a promise, and I intend to keep it, but not without teaching some manners first." She laid back in her nest, covering her eyes with her tail and drifted off to sleep.

Wolfkit made his way to the freshkill pile, intent of pulling out a small mouse for himself. Ever since joining with all these cats, his aunt seemed to be growing further away from him in closeness. first living in separate dens, and now her snapping at him, when he just wanted to play. Maybe it was his fault, he bit into the mouse, feeling the eyes of the clan on him now, she had stayed up all night. He just wanted to know that he still had a family, while all these strange cats seemed to outcast him. Was Phoenix, no Flamewhisker now, starting to become more like them than he wanted to be?
