Featherflight waited quietly for Silversong to finish dressing her wounds. She stayed as still as a blade of grass on a day without wind. Her thoughts drifted to something she had built up a wall against. Her mother, father, sisters and brothers. Iris, Jason, Leaf, Moon, and Oriole. All kittypets, except Jason. Jason had been a rogue, and that's where Featherflight got her green eyes and silver pelt. Iris had been a gold-pelted she-cat with amber eyes. Featherflight had been named Krystal, but her name changed when she ran into another Clan, who forced her into their Clan, naming her Featherpaw, even though Krystal had insisted on keeping her name. She was forced to train, and the cruel leader had named her Featherfang. Which was cruel, because he had said along with the ceremony, "Because of her insistence not to attack any cat, I name her Featherfang, because her teeth are like feathers, too fragile to break a cat's flesh." Featherfang had been jeered at, made fun of, and teased. Featherfang had wanted to run away, and as she was stealing through the camp's entrance, the medicine cat, Marigoldpetal, had stopped her. She had said, "I do not blame you for running away. But I cannot allow myself to let you go, bearing that ridiculous name. Featherfang, may StarClan light your path, and approve of my decision to rename you Featherflight. Now, go! Run! Before the leader catches you! Remember me always!" and Marigoldpetal slipped back to her den, and Featherflight had ran for her life.
Featherflight blinked her eyes, pulling herself out of her past, and into the present, which was full of pain and the tangy smell of herbs. She tried to rebuild the wall, but failed to do so.
