Ravenpaw

Ravenkit opened his eyes. His small little amber eyes. He took a good look at his pelt. Black. Ravenkit looked up at his mother. "Hello there! What's your name?" he asked. Ravenkit's mother let out a purr. "I'm Goldenfur. I'm your mother," she said. Ravenkit looked over at some other kits. "Who're they?" he wondered aloud. "Those are your sisters, Frostkit and Spottedkit," Goldenfur mewed. Ravenkit bounced over to them. "'Ello," he meowed. "I'm your brother!" The speckled tabby one, Spottedkit, looked over at her brother. "Hi!" she mewed happily. "I'm Spottedkit. Wanna play?" Ravenkit nodded. Suddenly, a big tabby tom bounded into the den. "Has little Ravenkit opened his eyes yet?" he asked. Goldenfur nodded. "Kits, this is your father, Grasspelt," she meowed. Ravenkit and Frostkit pranced over to him. "Hihihihihihihihi!" they mewled excitedly. Grasspelt chuckled. (If cats can chuckle ) "We wanna explore!" Spottedkit squeaked. Grasspelt hesitated. "I guess since Ravenkit opened his eyes I can--" "No, no, no. These kits were just born. They aren't old enough to go out yet," Goldenfur interrupted Grasspelt. Grasspelt sighed. "You could come with us," he offered. Goldenfur thought about it. "Ok. But I'm not taking my eyes off of them!" she hissed. Frostkit, Ravenkit, and Spottedkit all yowled in joy. "Let's go!" Ravenkit cried. The family padded out of the nursery. Goldenfur picked Ravenkit up in her jaws. "Mom!" Ravenkit complained. Spottedkit purred in amusement. Ravenkit hissed at her. Grasspelt ran into a white tom before he could exit the camp. The tom looked like Frostkit, but he had blue eyes, while Frostkit had amber eyes. "Hello Coldgaze," Goldenfur mewed. "Would you care to join our tour for our kits?" The tom--Coldgaze--nodded. "Sure," he meowed. The six cats padded out of camp. "Wow!" Frostkit mewed when she saw the forest. They padded through the territories farther. "Now," Grasspelt mewed. "This is the center of ThunderClan territory. It--" Ravenkit's father was interrupted when a claw was hooked around throat, along with Goldenfur, Spottedkit, and Frostkit. "Now, Ravenkit, you a choice. Keep your siblings alive or your parents," Coldgaze snapped, tightening his grip on all of their throats. "Keep your litter mates alive!" Goldenfur spat. Spottedkit shook her head. "Keep Goldenfur and Grasspelt alive! They--" Coldgaze narrowed his eyes and created a cut in Spottedkit's throat. "Let the tom decide," he hissed. Worry grew in Ravenkit's eyes. Did he really have to choose. "Try running or attacking me, they're both dead," Coldgaze snapped. Ravenkit glanced over at her parents. "I'm sorry," he whispered to them. "It's ok," Goldenfur whispered. Grasspelt nodded. "I'd like to keep my litter mates alive," Ravenkit mewed so softly Coldgaze could barely hear. "Took you long enough," the white tom spat. He threw Spottedkit and Frostkit in front of Ravenkit. "No!" Frostkit cried. When she turned around, the dead bodies of her parents lay there. "NO!" Spottedkit yowled. Ravenkit turned around to face his parent's killer, but he was gone. Coldgaze was never seen again; the thought bothered Ravenkit--now Ravenpaw--for the rest of his life.
