Greykit yawned, stretching and arching her back. she had opened her eyes last, and her siblings had teased her for it. she sat, cautiously curled up by her mother, never straying to far outside of her protective gaze. Aukletkit and Crawfishkit were playing outside, with what greykit could only describe as a dead, mauled mouse pelt. she hissed a ferocious, tiny kit shriek in a fit of fury, angry at everything.
"mama, why am I named stupid Greykit, while they get to be Aukletkit and Crawfishkit?" Greykit mewed angrily. her mother, Duckquiver laughed and flicked her tail.
"come here Greykit, and I'll tell you a story, a true story. truer than any other kit tale. You too, Crawfishkit and Aukletkit!" she called. the kits whined and padded towards her. the kits settled down at her paws, gazing expectantly at her.
"Many, many moons ago, before even I was born, Warriorclan was just a few kittypets playing a game based off of rumors of the original clans, that is until a true warrior came around," she started, and the kits gasped.
"His name was Greystripe, and he was a warrior from the original clans, coming back to follow out a starclan prophecy, to create warriorclan and help a bunch of cats stuck in a twoleg den,"
"what happened! were the kittypets stuck?" mewed Crawfishkit.
"yes, they were stuck. The twoleg was too old and sick to take care of them," Duckquiver purred. "But Greystripe went inside, knowing he couldn't leave and got everyone outside! He was a hero, and Our first leader Monkeystar, and her deputy fang, decided that every year one kit would be named greykit in their honour, because he created warriorclan, basically," she smiled.
"No fair! I wanna be Greykit!" whined Aukletkit.
"me too! let us be greykit," demanded Crawfishkit.
"Nuh uh! I get to be Greykit! It was my name first, fair and square!" Greykit stuck out her tounge. Duckquiver laughed.
"all of you guys will be special, and I'm not changing anyone's names," she replied to her kits. Crawfishkit pouted for a minute before lighting up. He ran over to Aukletkit and whispered in their ear.
"Hey Greykit, want to explore camp with us?" Crawfishkit asked.
"sure!" greykit mewed happily, following them out of the nursery to a secluded corner in camp. Aukletkit grinned, unsheathing her claws, and Crawfishkit did the same, pushing Greykit into a corner.
"what? Guys, what are you doing?" Greykit asked, their eyes widening.
"If your dead... Then we don't have a Greykit, and they need a new one," Crawfishkit replied nastily, lashing their tail and grinning, a glint in their eyes. Greykit mewed in terror. Aukletkit slashed him across his eyes, scarlet blood dripping from her claws and the wound on Greykits face. She screeched in pain.
"Ow!" screeched Greykit, "I'm your sister? why would you kill your own sister?" she ran past them, down a slope, and ran into a dead end. she turned around slowly, her eyes wide in fear, and blood flowing from the scratch.
