RiverClan Nursery

[Silverblue]

Silverkit pondered it for a bit, going through all this information in her own mind to be clear.

She lived in RiverClan. She was in the Nursery, in RiverClan, and other little kits like her were too.

Her mother was Mintfeather, but her biological mother died in battle, and went to Starclan, and watches her from there. Silverkit guessed her mother couldn't visit her, so Mintfeather takes care of her instead.

"Why did she go to StarClan instead of staying here? Why do we go there after dying in battle, instead of coming back here? It would be nice if we just came back here," muses Silverkit.

Her little stomach, ignorant to her deep thoughts, grumbled impatiently. Silverkit looked at her belly, confused. A certain feeling comes over her. "Hungry?"

"Well, your mother could not choose where to go, but I'm sure if she could, she would have stayed. Remember, not all cats die in battle, there are other ways too. Like dying of old age." Mintfeather informed Silverkit. She smiled at the sound of Silverkit's rumbling stomach. "Yes, you are hungry. Your old enough now to eat fresh kill, I'm surprised that you've never left the nursery. But due to everything that's happened it's fair. Now you can go along to the fresh kill pile and get something to eat, but don't go any further."
Mintfeather nudged her daughter. "Go on!" She encouraged. She's a lot like me when I was a kit... So innocent, so young, not knowing the true terrors of this world. The battles I've seen, the friends I've lost, I could never forget those memories, I hope Silverkit will make the most of her kithood.

Silverkit turned around twice, locating the exit to the nursery, but finding the fresh-kill pile was a piece of, well, fresh-kill. The tempting scents of mouse and fish and various other prey was a new but pleasant sensation. However, her first mouthful of it was even more delightful. After a cautious nibble of the small fish, she proceeded to haul her find back to the Nursery and chomp into the tasty meat. "Not hungry," mumbled Silverkit cheerfully through a mouthful.

Mintfeather smiled. She was truly something. She watched as Silverkit chomped down on a juicy trout in amusement and shook her head. "Why don't you go play with the other kits?" she suggested. It was about time that Silverkit made some friends to play with, some friends to go through apprenticeship with her, sit vigil in honour of her new warrior name. Friends to last a lifetime of joy, excitement and love. I hope she'll go out and meet the other kits, they seem really nice. Mintfeather thought, fluffing up the moss in her nest.

Darkness. If there was one thing in the world that disturbed the newborn kit, it was darkness. She didn't notice the highpitched meows from her sisters. Nor the sweet milky scent of her mother. The scarlet colored kit was too disturbed by the dark world she had been born in to notice anything but the pitch black that fogged her gaze. Birth had brought this upon her. If her eyes could have narrowed, they would have. Except her eyes were closed tightly so that was kind of hard. Instead she let out the loudest meow she could muster up, and scrunched her face up real tight. She was being driven insane. Wait! A sudden beautiful golden light was edging her view. Seemingly removing her annoyance for a bit. But she still couldn't get the thought she was so annoyed out.

Then a most disturbing and wonderful thing happened. The molly finally noted the warm scent. It was there. Her face unscrunched as she sniffed the air. It was definitely there. A soft milky scent. It was consuming her, and making her grumpiness face. Now it was nothing more. Now all she could focus on was the smell. She moved forward towards it. Inching closer and closer. Then she began to suckle.

Plumkit squeaked in surprise as her sister moved. She was so small! Was she that small? It seemed as if all cats were as tall as her mother. Plumkit stared at her sister with wide eyes. She mewed a greeting and inched towards her sister.

(Small! Sorry!

Silverkit licked the last bit of fish clean and yawned a little, beginning to doze off, but still listening.

She understood Mintfeather. She had to find another kit like her. She glanced around, thinking. Who might make a good friend?

She meandered around indecisively, searching for friend-worthy cats.

Cottonfrost laid in the unfamiliar nursery, not really used to Riverclan. Her muscles tensed as she felt a pain run down her spine. That is contractions?
No, I can't be having kits can I? The senior queen adjusted herself, faintly remembering another queen saying something to her the other day about kits coming soon, but she thought that queen had confused her with someone else. She flicked her gaze to the entrance of the nursery before gripping her nest as another contraction swept over her.

-Fade to black-

The light gray and white shecat sighed, turning her head to her kits. They were younger than own grand-kitten. She licked their heads, admiring her beautiful children. Frostedflicker will be proud, he has more sons and another daughter. She curled her tail around the kittens, nuzzling them closer to her. She hoped that since the birth had gone fairly well, that the kits wouldn't be affected too much. They were slightly smaller, but they were all her little gifts from Starclan. "Shiverkit, Polarkit, Snowkit, and Sleetkit." She whispered staring at each kit.

A small grey tom spotted a pretty silver she-kit. She looks like she's about my age. Maybe we could be friends."Hi, I'm Boulderkit." he announced to her. She smelled like a fish, but he didn't mind, he liked fish and the sent very much so. "I don't recall seeing you around before." he said. "Are you a Shadowclan kit? Cause I know that they're sheltering in our camp."
Boulderkit sat down and gestured for the she-kit to also do so.

[Silverblue]

"I'm Silverkit," Silverkit announced. "I'm a RiverClan cat, you too?" The small she-cat smiled. "Do you like fish or mouse better? I haven't had mouse yet, but I smelled it already!"

@Tigress

She contemplated for a moment, and said, "We can be friends if you wanna, let's look around! Do you know anyone else?" She noticed a little kit, younger than herself, awake, looking at his sister. "Hi!" She meowed.
