ENTRY 1
I didn't have to know how to speak to hear what my name was the second my senses were intact with me. The moment I laid eyes on the gentle and caring light brown face of the cat I knew I would be with for awhile, I knew what she was saying. "Dawnkit! Dawnkit! Dawnkit!" That was all I heard as the soft tongue of the owner of the voice gently licked me and smiled. The second I was sure this is what life would be like for awhile, I heard those other dreadful words of other people I knew I would spend my life with. "Falconkit! Quailkit! Goldenkit!" At the moment I heard the mention of those names, a sour taste came to my mouth. I wanted to get rid of it so badly, so I found what I knew I wanted on my mother's soft belly, and along with the rest of my litter, I drifted off into a comfortable sleep.

ENTRY 2
A few days after I finally learned how to talk and walk and smell and taste and do everything, I learned quite soon that the dreadful names I heard after mine were more dreadful than I had thought. "One day, young Dawnkit," my mother told me, "you will understand you are lucky to have your brother and sisters." I shook my head when she first told me that. "No," I muttered to myself. There was no way I was going to tell mother that, because mother doesn't like it when we're mean to each other, or say something that's not nice. Anyway, right now, I had awoke to the same storm that has been going on since we were born. It was clearing up, it seemed to me, but not quick enough. I REALLY wanted to go out and explore, and possibly meet my daddy and big brothers, and even other warriors. Mother and the rest of my family were still sleeping, my sisters and brother curled up still next to mother's belly. I could hear the loud thunder still crackling outside. I looked around. Most queens and their kits were still sleeping on the moss. The nursery had a branchy, leafy roof that looked like the main roots of a tree holding up the nursery roof with a bunch of leaves and brush. The rest of the nursery was wide space, all covered with soft, clean moss. In the side where all the nests were, where I was, the nests looked strange. it was just a small branch of a bush above the nest for shade, and the floor was just piled-up moss. I didn't really know what to do now. Scaring me, my mother licked me behind my ears and put her paw around me to pull me to her front. She smiled down on me and cleaned me. When she was done, I curled up in her bushy, cinder-colored chest still in front of her. "My little mouse," she whispered to me as I snuggled, the thunder booming. I snuggled into her chest, afraid of the growing thunder. Mother pushed her paws to me, comforting me. She laid her head down, closed her eyes, and relaxed, me still curled in her chest. I dozed off, hoping this comfort would never end. (Sorry this was kind of a boring entry!!! Just getting this thing started, you know?

- ENTRY 3:
When I woke up again, I was the only on asleep. All the other mothers and kits played on the play-side of the nursery, and my own mother and brother and sister were there, too, Quailkit being groomed. I sat up, stretched nice and long, and shook my head. I bounded for my good friend, Cloudkit. He's only two days older than me, and our mother's are good friends. They were apprentices together. I could still hear the rain outside, pouring down. I wonder why StarClan has cursed us with this bad weather? "Cloudkit!" I squealed as I stuck my behind in the air playfully, ready to play. Cloudkit sat still, staring at me. He had dark gray fur with white patches and big blue eyes. "Cloudkit," I said with disappointment, sitting up. Cloudkit didn't do anything, just looked down. "Hey, Dawnkit. I... I just feel bad today. I don't know why. Mommy said I might just have a tummy-ache. But I just don't want to play today, is that okay?" he said sadly and softly. I nodded, frowning slightly. "That's okay, Cloudkit. I heard having a tummy-ache really makes you feel like mouse dung," I said, trying to sound a bit happy. I heard my name be called by my mother. "Dawnkit! Come here, mouse," it echoed. I looked in her direction and bounded to her, jumping in front of her. "Cloudkit is feeling bad today," I said to mother. She nodded. "His mother, Lizardtail told me," she says, picking me up by the scruff and drawing me closer so she can groom me. I lay down on my back, allowing her to groom my soft belly. "You know your Cloudkit's- never mind. You know, your fur is so beautiful," she comments. "It's so strange.... some of your fur is purple! It's light brown, orangeish, and purple!" she exclaims, mostly to herself. I smile proudly. Quailkit and Falconkit bound to me. "Dawnkit! You wanna run? Or chase each other? Or something?" they squeal. I nod, getting excited. My mom smiles while she's grooming me, too, probably happy I'm getting along with my litter-mates. "Sure, but mommy's cleaning me," I say, pointing out the obvious. They nod. "Okay, were going to play border patrol. We need a trespassing cat so we can attack!" Falconkit peeps. He is a dark brown kit with big green eyes and a white belly. "Not it!" I squeal, getting up from my grooming when it's finish and prance over there.
- ENTRY 4:
The next day, the storm cleared up a bit. I got up from my soft, mossy bed to find I was alone. My mother and siblings stood in front of me, all sitting obediently. My mother immediately sprang up. "Good morning, mouse! Today I decided it's time for you to go out of the nursery! It's still cloudy, but at least there's no storm. Come on, behind your litter, now," she smiled, and skipped happily out of the nursery, crawling through the small opening under a tree that hailed as the entrance. She peeped her dusky brown muzzle under the brush from the outside. "Come on, you guys!" she said reassuringly. "I don't wanna go..." Quailkit said, shrinking back. Goldenkit snorted. "I'm not scared, I just am the biggest, so I have to make sure my little siblings get out safely." Falconkit snorted at her again. I didn't want to hear them fight all day, so I slipped under the brush before I heard them arguing about who's the oldest and strongest. One of my four older brothers, I can only guess is Flametail because of the dark, dark orange fur and brownish fades, greets me and sits next to mother. "Hello, Dawnkit. I am your oldest brother, Flametail. I'm deputy of WindClan. Our father is Swiftstar, by the way, he's the leader. This is WindClan," He said, gesturing to the open ground. to the left sat a grass ledge on the moutainside, obviously for meetings. The rest was open space, with a large cave straight in front of me, holding the medicine cat's den, and there was some other bushy and stoney openings around the open, lush field for other dens. It was amazing. The sky was a light gray, but some light glinted on the rain on the rocks and bush leaves. "Do you like it?" Flametail asked, staring at the camp and then to me. "I-" I was cut off by my siblings finally getting through the bushy opening, some straining. "Flametail!" Goldenkit said, clearly impressed. "Momma told us so much about our brothers! You, and Robintalon, and Rippaw, and Sunstrike. Oh, and our father, Swiftstar!" she beamed to him. Flametail laughed. "Speaking of father, here he comes!" he said, as a tall, sleek, light brown, bulky tom came. To be specific, he had white paws and dirt-brown fur with a bit of orange mixed in with him. He had deep blue eyes. When he reached Flametail, he sat in front of us with no expression on his face. "These are my daughters and handsome son?" he said. Falconkit puffed out his chest. "Yes, and I'm going to be leader one day, like you!" he boated proudly. I sat up and let out my chest, too. "I will too," I added. My father moved his eyes on me, and stared me down with an intense look, like he was wondering if one day I really would. "You may all play, if you like, but don't go out of the boundaries of the clan! You may meet some warriors, and feel free to talk to the apprentices, too. But when you mother calls you in, you must go, or I'll attack you," he said a bit more playfully. He stuck his behind in the air and swiped his paws playfully at us, dodging and moving. Falconkit did the same and began to chase father, and they went running around chasing each other. Mother laughed. "Go play," she told us. Flametail did the same as father to me, and I chased him around, too. Once I corned him, I pounced on his back and he ran around, me struggling to hold on. He flung me off playfully, and I got back into my fighting stance away. Flametail sat up, laughing. "You know, Dawnkit, Cloudkit is my kit," he said. "Do you know Cloudkit?" I nodded. "Yes!" I squealed. Flametail nodded. "Lizardtail is my mate, and Cloudkit is my kit, making you his aunt," he said. I frowned. "His aunt? He's older than me!" I exclaimed. How could he be older than me and I'm his aunt? "Families are strange sometimes, Dawnkit," he laughed. I fake-laughed. I didn't really get it. At that moment, Cloudkit attacked me from behind. "Cloudkit! I squealed at the sight of him. Lizardtail came up behind him, and sat next to Flametail. Flametail licked her behind her ear as a greet. Lizardtail licked him on his cheek as her greet. "Ew!" Cloudkit mewed, making a disgusted face. Flamtail and Lizardtail laughed hardly. "One day you will have a mate, too, Cloudkit," Flametail chuckled as Cloudkit curled up between his legs. Cloudkit eyed me as if he was thinking that special mate was me. There it was. That sour taste again. Cloudkit was my friend, not my mate. "C'mon, Dawnkit! Let's play chase!" Cloudkit squealed. As we got ready to play, an urgent and alarming cat screech sounded from which way, I don't know. "INTRUDERS!" the frantic voice screeched over the busy camp. Everything, suddenly stopped. Warriors bounded for the front of the camp. Swiftstar came up to Flametail and nodded to him, and they scurried off somewhere. Apprentices ran into the apprentice den. Queens urged their kits to come into the nursery, but most kits were wither curious or to stunned to move. Me? I sat their as everything happened around me. Lizardtail and Cloudkit were gone. I sat there, shrinking, because everything happened so fast.... that's when I heard more warning sounds from more and more cats, and finally I ran around looking for the nursery, but I couldn't find it.
- ENTRY 5:
By the time I found the nursery, it was far too late. Some big, bulky black toms appeared at the camp entrance, and the rest of the camp was deserted. I didn't want to be noticed by the intruders, so I jumped into a nearby bush and hid. I could tell the conflict up front was getting heated, because the scary cats were unsheathing their claws. Father and brother stood in front of the band of warriors by the entrance. I couldn't hear everything, but I did here one sentence from my father: "ShadowClan is not welcome here. Flee to your dreadful forest. Intimidating us does not help you get our territory. Leave!" But the cats did not leave. In fact, as the argument heated, the biggest cat in the middle unsheathed his claws secretly, and I could tell what he was going to do. He was going to kill Father. I didn't know how he would do it, or when he would do it, but the pitiless, devilish look in those dark eyes told me he was ready to end this. Then, at a moment's notice, when he was going to pounce, I did the unthinkable. "NO!!!" I squealed, jumping out of the bushes and darting for the cat. Pouncing on it, keeping a firm hold on his ear I bent half of the ear, and, with all my might, ripped it off, falling to ground in front of my father, who, as well as the other warriors, gasped and attacked each other. Flametail jumped in front of me, leading me away from the battle, backing me up out of the fight. But when I was way far from the heated camp entrance, he turned around and desperately grasped hold of the scruff of my neck, and dashed into the nursery, dropping me on the soft moss. "Wait!" I told Flametail before he darted out of the entrance. He looked back before diving in, and was ready to listen. "Don't let them kill Father," I said, and he nodded with no expression and darted out of the bushy entrance. Mother, before I could even move, dived for my scruff and pulled me back, putting me with the rest of my litter. "What happened?" she asked urgently. I looked at her, dead in the eyes. "That guy was going to murder Father. I attacked him and ripped off his ear," I said quickly. Mother gasped. "You ripped off.... Searfang's ear?" she said unbelievably. I nodded quickly, scared of what she'd say. She just stared at me for a long while, with concern, with urgency, with caution, with disbelief. My other litter-mates stared at me, too, with the same kind of expressions.
- ENTRY 6 (UNFINISHED):
The next day, nobody acknowledged me for what I did yesterday. It was like normal. I woke up, and luckily I saw I was still on my mother's belly but my other littermates were just awaking, too. Mother lifted her head. "Good morning, young kits!" she said happily. Everyone stretched for a while until we finally got on our feet. "What are we doing today? Something fun? Or cool? Or exciting? Can we go see the apprentices?" I peeped excitedly. Mother looked at me with a soft smile and got up. "Well, mouse, were going to play outside again, I suppose. Maybe you could meet some apprentices this time. Your father and Flametail are gone on some important business, but you could meet your other brothers. You know, your second youngest brother is an apprentice," she told me. I could bounce on the walls I was so excited! "Well come on! I want to meet my other brothers!" I mewed excitedly again, and right when I was about to dive out of the nursery, Mother grabbed my scruff and pulled me away. "Mommy!" I said angrily, thrashing in my mother's grasp. She set me down behind her. "Mouse, I have to groom you guys, then I'll let you out. Tell you sisters and brother to go play and while they do I'll clean you." I dashed for my brother and sisters, told them to go play, and dashed back to mother, but on my way I tripped over Leafkit, a kit I only heard of and never really talked to before.

Great detail and description! It's kind of slow, but that's understandable because you are only three day old.
