I ate what was left of the rabbit, then continued toward the Sunset. "There must be an easier way to do this," I murmed. I spotted a rabbit, and slowly stalking it, I leaped on it and clawed it to death. I did what I did, and I face the consequences. I flashed back to the time Rock that Stays Still, or Rock, taught me the hunting position. No more competition, no fighting, no snobby remarks. I thought about Petal, and what she would think if I ran away. The moor was flatter than it was in the valley, and the wind blew over it, away from the mountains. Where could I rest for the night? I asked myself, though if I asked aloud, nobody would hear me. I was starting to adjust to my one eye at least I could still see, and not be blind.įinally, I stopped running. By now, I couldn't see my home anymore it was gone. I ran at the same speed for a long time, when I finally got tired and began to slow down. I sprinted, out of the healer's den, out of the Tribe. "You've lost an eye," Starwatcher murmed, then padded off. A cat stared back, with the same tortoiseshell pelt as me. I obeyed, curious at what she was showing me.
Starwatcher turned around to look at the stars, and found a pool of water. "And why can't feel anything on this side of my face?" For some odd reason, I could only blink open one eye. "I never had such a brave to-be," she murmed. I ran towards it and everything went black. I had to save it, even if it was a rogue. I spotted figure running in circles outside the den. I rolled the moss into a ball, then ran across the field to where the dens were. But standing in an open field when it is thundering isn't the greatest of things to do. I knew I couldn't run back, because I'm not a kit anymore. I sprinted off in search of moss, when I heard thunder rumble. "First, you need a nest in the to-be's den," Starwatcher said. I licked her tail-tip (which is unique to the Tribe of Floating Clouds), and she was officially allowed to teach me the ways of a healer. Starwatcher nodded, then leaped down from the rock. "Dawn, are you sure you wish to be my to-be?" Petal almost always won, but this time I did. I can't believe that you like these things." All I know is that I want to be a cave-guard and kit-mother." I ignored the question and stared at the black clouds in the sky. "But if you're going to act that way about it, then it isn't." "No fair!" despite my smaller size, I easily overtook her. "C'mon, Dawn! Hurry up! Or I'll become the healer's apprentices!" Petal called, running past me.
My sister is Petal that falls from Flower, also known as Petal. Except there are a lot of clouds in the sky. Our Tribe lived in a valley, and it was nice and green. That was my first thought as I exited the kit-mother's den for the final time as a kit.
