Stormtail looked at the frail kit, "Don't worry, you will wake up. Anyway, when good cats like you die, they go to starclan, a paradise for cats." Stormtail meowed, "Ill be watching you; making sure your ok."

She knew her words would probably hurt the kit, but she couldn't help it, if someone was going to act like that, then that was how she would act too. If someone spotted Winterwisp yelling at a kit, they'd probably yell at her. Would she care? No, of course not! In fact, she'd start letting out her anger on them too. Winterwisp couldn't help what she did, she had just been hurt way too many times. "Are you blind?! Of course you're a little kit!", Winterwisp snapped. Ugh, kits are so annoying, Winterwisp thought. Right now, by the looks of it, there was no chance that Winterwisp could ever be a mother. But....if some cat could manage to change her opinion over kits....there could be that 1% chance. Winterwisp bristled with anger. Hopefully for her, no one would walk in on them. That wouldn't put them in the best situation.

Ferretkit almost stumbled back at the words of the she-cat. What kind of a mother would ever love you? That stung. That stung like thousands of bees. The she-cat was probably right. Her mother had probably left her because she was as weak as she was. Because she was just that. Weak and not worth a thing. Not worth a sandcorn. Nothing.
As these dark thoughts flooded over the tiny, helplessly unconfident kitten, she started to as slowly as a snail, back into the bush once again. That had always been her life. She felt that whenever she poked her head out of that bush, she was in danger. It was as if a single one of her hairs were outside that bush, everyone knew she was there, and everyone wanted to tell her how little she was worth. That was also a reason as to why she was so skinny; she simply didn't dare step out of her bush to go get something to eat. She usually only did this two times a day, and usually at night when she knew everyone were asleep.
Not saying a word, the tiny kitten would push herself completely back into the safety of her bush, unless the she-cat decided to stop her

For a moment, Winterwisp pitied the kit. She saw her kit self in Ferretkit. A frail kit with no friends, constantly bullied but with no sharp tongue. Motherless and basically nothing to anyone. That pity quickly rushed away and was replaced with anger. "That's right. Sneak off into that bush where it's safe. Be the coward that I once was", Winterwisp sneered. The words seemed to stir up emotions in Winterwisp. This just angered her more. Memories whipped through her head. Bullies, taunting her for her small size, for being without a family, for being a former kittypet. She remembered running off into the bush that Ferretkit was now shrinking off into. Tears streaming down her face as she sobbed without anyone to help her. There was no one. She wasn't as snappy as she was now back then, so she didn't fight her bullies. She was nothing. Nothing except a coward. Ferretkit seemed quite similiar to her, but she didn't plan on helping her. It wasn't fair that Winterwisp had had to go through all that misery in kithood. When she was a kit and apprentice, she hadn't seen anyone bullied like she was, so now that someone felt the way she did and was, it made her more....satisfied. But, this was the angry side of Winterwisp that felt this way. She really was a nice cat so at the same time, she felt rather....protective of the kit. Like she wanted to protect her. No. She couldn't let herself grow soft. She had to protect herself.

Ferretkit didn't say a word as she completely emerged herself back into the bush. She had somehow succeeded in making a small sort of den in there, having broken the lowest middle branches so she could sit up straight. But for now, she just curled herself onto the little bed of leaves she had been lying on so many times before. She let her small yet long tail curl itself over her muzzle, shielding her eyes from view as small drops started to fall from them.
Now she was being picked on by warriors too. It was bad enough with the other kits and younger apprentices, but warriors too? Would she ever be safe in the place she was supposed to feel at home in? She had more than once considered running off, living on her own, but she knew it was even more dangerous out there, especially for a young cat like her. And despite all her troubles and her extremely low self-esteem, she did not want to risk being killed. She hated her life, but not -that- much. She had friends, hadn't she? Perhaps it was just beetles and snails that probably in reality were scared of her.. But still..

The small apprentice nods "Ur missing leg will make training more challenging but it will make u stronger than most cats." he purrs and sighs "I can hardly train with Specklepaw. He always interrupts and acts like he knows more than our mentor"

"Can I hear a story about StarClan?" AcornKit was smiling now, comforted by StormTail's kind words. "And naughty cats go to the dark forest? What about Firestar and Tigerstar? I wanna hear about them! Where did they go?"

"Ok, ok," Stormtail mewed, chuckling, "here's how it goes...."

A long time ago there was a leader named bluestar, one day while she was patrolling she met a kittypet named rusty, the kittypet wanted to be wild and three so badly that he asked if he could join the clans! Bluestar agreed, and he became an apprentice. Meanwhile, a horrible fight was going on, and Bluestars deputy, Redtail, and her most trusted warrior, Tigerclaw, and an apprentice Ravenpaw, were fighting Riverclam, while they were fighting Tigerclaw killed Redtail, as he wanted to be deputy. Ravenpaw so though, and rushed back to camp, he didn't say though, fearing Tigerclaw would kill him. The new deputy was Lionheart, but soon after he was killed by shadowclan! Rusty, now Firepaw found out that Tigerclaw killed Redtail and was now going to kill Ravenpaw! So he brought Ravenpaw to a loner named barley, who took care of him. Many seasons later, Firepaw was now Fireheart. Tigerclaw was now deputy and tried to kill Bluestar in the hope of becoming leader! Firestar saved Bluestar, but Tigerclaw vowed to destroy him. Later he set a pack of dogs onto them, but failed. And after that he tried to get a rouge named Scourge to kill Fireheart! Tigerclaw, (now Tigerstar as he had taken over shadowclan,) was killed by Scourge and Fireheart, (now Firestar as he was now leader,) killed him. The clans lived in peace for a long time until Tigerstar rose from the dead and brought hundreds of Darkforest warriors! Fireheart finally killed him, sending Tigerstar into the oblivion, but he died of his wounds, and now resides in Starclan. The end.

"Did you like that story?"

AcornKit didn't reply and just stared up at her in amazement. How did she know all this? Clan cats' lives sounded very exciting
(Wanna fast forward to when they're 3 moon old? We'll do 1 moon each time until they're apprentices but obviously, we'll wait till AcornKit has been healed else he won't become an apprentice.)

(Sure)

Stormtail smiled, she knew the kit was happy with the story, she'd always been good at telling stories.

There was something about her smile that made AcornKit feel safe and protected...as well as perks of clan life, there were also many dangers. But he was sure StormTail could handle it. After all, she was a warrior. "Do you have any friends or family StornTail?" GleamKit asked.
