Story Written by: Ravenfeather Dedicated to: WAFFLE Chapter two: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/15989000/
Falling, faster and faster. It seems like I am falling down an endless pit. I feel like I am burning, but I am freezing at the same time. The burning cold, the searing heat. My heart feels like it is beating it’s way out of my chest. I feel like my skin is melting off me. Earlier today, I was just an average girl. Well, mostly average. Wait, what is average? I-I-I can’t seem to remember. My mind is burning. My name is.......Why can’t I remember it? I was at.... Where am I? I am......... Who am I? What am I? I seem to remember a memory that doesn’t belong to me. The memory is filled with loneliness, never finding a home. My whole body feels like it is melting, and burning. Then, I hear a scream. Is it my scream? I don’t know where I am. Where am I? Please, somebody, anybody help me.... ....... “Who are you?” Someone asked me a question, should I get up? Who am I anyways? I feel tiny, unprotected. I open my eyes, and see a huge orange cat. “Where is your mother?” The huge cat asked me. Wait, why would the cat ask me where my mother is? Who is my mother? How could I forget my mother? I look at myself, at my paws. What happened to me? I try to get up, but I don’t know how to use my legs. “Come over here, I found an abandoned kit, less than a moon old. Smells like a kittypet, but barely smells like a cat!” I hear footsteps pawsteps. I see more huge cats. The orange cat picks me up .......... I dreamed of falling Now I dream of landing I feel like I am shrinking, smaller and smaller. It hurts so bad. My bones breaking into a million pieces, then coming back together again. Everything has changed, but why me? ........... I wake up, hungry, but what is there to eat? I can walk better now, but I feel like I had just been on fire. What happened to me? Something grabs me by my neck, and takes me to a, um...Is it a cave? I hear footsteps pawsteps coming towards me “BrambleStar, we found an abandoned kit by the lake. It doesn’t smell like any clan, and it barely smells like a cat!” I think the cat who is Bramblestar walks over to me, that is what i have to assume. “This kit smells like a twoleg! Not a kittypet, it smells almost exactly like a twoleg. You were right to worry Lionblaze” That must be BrambleStar. “Bramblestar, can i take this kit to Jayfeather?” “Yes, make sure that the kit is healthy.” I was picked up again. Why is this happening to me? “Lionblaze, who is that?” I saw a kitten, bigger than me. “Featherpaw, don’t you have something to do?” “Yes, but taking care of the elders if boring! I have to go to Jayfeather’s den anyways, to get mouse bile” Featherpaw wrinkled her nose at the thought of taking care of the elder’s ticks. Lionblaze, I am guessing that he rolled his eyes, said “Ok, fine. You can come with me.” “Why can’t you let me walk, my neck hurts!” I was annoyed to have someone carry me by the neck. Lionblaze put me down. Well, more like dropped. I got up slowly, trying out my legs. I looked at Lionblaze. “Whoa! You look so big!” “Hi! I’m Featherpaw, this is Lionblaze!” She must think I don’t know anything. Lionblaze lead me to this crevice thingy. “Jayfeather, Bramblestar wanted me to take this kit to you so that you could make sure it is healthy.” “Hey, I am a living thing! Why do you keep talking about me as if I was a tree?” And now i’m even more annoyed at everyone. Jayfeather grunts, and looks over me. Then he looks at Featherpaw. “What are you doing here Featherpaw?” Jayfeather asked. “I have to get mouse bile for the elders.” Featherpaw complained. Jayfeather gives moss soaking with mouse bile to Featherpaw. “Jayfeather, it’s soaking wet!” Featherpaw complained, but she took it anyways and left the cave. I just realized that I was a kit. How could I be a kit? It’s not possible! It’s not scientifically possible! I must be obviously freaking out, otherwise Lionblaze and Jayfeather wouldn’t be looking at me like that. ......... When I wake up, i’m at a beach. Fully aware of everything, no missing memories. Except i'm a cat. I wonder if the only time I am fully aware of myself is my dreams. I see a cat. Is it Jayfeather? How could he be in my subconscious? My heart is beating out of control, but I don’t care. Why am not human? Why am I a kit, that looks barely a day old? “Are you Jayfeather?” ......... “Wake up!” I can’t tell who that is. “Huh? What happened?” I feel strange, like I was so sure of something. Oh well, better let it pass. “Are you ok?” My vision clears, and I see Jayfeather in front of me. There is no one else in the cave except Lionblaze. “Why were you at a lake? It looks bigger than any lake i’ve seen!” Hmm... Jayfeather is concerned. I wonder why... “What lake? I was in this cave the whole time!” “How could you not remember? You even saw me!” What was he talking about? My stomach growled. Is it just me, or is it darker. I’m so tired. I just want to sleep. .............. Jayfeather obviously can see my dreams, how can I tell him i will never remember them? I can see him now. I think he is blind, but not in dreams, oh well. I walk towards him. “Jayfeather, I can never remember my dreams so stop pestering me about it!” Jayfeather nodded. “What about the lake?” Lake? Oh, he must be talking about the ocean. “It isn’t a lake. It is an ocean, sometimes it looks like it swallows the sun!” “It can’t be the Sun-Drown place, it has no cliffs!” Why would there be cliffs? “It’s a beach, oh, but you wouldn’t know that...” .............. I wake up with sunlight shining in my face. Too bright! Someone pokes me with their paw. “Hey you, time for you to have a clan name! I’m Greystripe by the way.” A clan name? Will I live here now? What will happen to me? I don’t ask these questions right now of course, not now anyways. I am taken to a group of cats standing around this big rock. Bramblestar jumps up onto it. “It is time to take in a new member of the clan. A kit was found last sunrise, and I have decided to let her into the clan. She has no known mother, and is not from any clan, so I will take her in. Step forward” He must be talking to me. I walked forward, up to the big rock. “Your name from now on will be Ravenkit.” No one cheers, well, except Featherpaw. Oh well, where do I go now? “Ravenkit, you will sleep in Jayfeather’s den, and you will help him out. Though you are young, he has requested this.” I wonder why Jayfeather wanted me to sleep in his den... Well, I got my first taste of mouse, then headed over to Jayfeather’s den. Apparently he lives with all of the herbs. Well, I guess I do like the smell of herbs. Jayfeather walked in. He doesn’t look very happy. “How could you not remember, I saw you there, at that...beach.....” What is a beach? How come he could see me, when I couldn’t even remember anything? “Jayfeather, what are you talking about?” He didn’t respond. Wait, he isn’t even here. “Jayfeather? Where are you?” I feel so lonely, in this forest. I can’t even see any stars! “Ravenkit, Im right here, what do you mean, you can’t see me?” I told him what happened. “How could that be possible? You’re just a kit!” Jayfeather didn’t talk to me, except to tell me which herb was which. He got a squirrel, and shared it with me. Today was so confusing. Oh well, I hope tonight won’t be so bad. Im so tired. .................. And of course, I’m at a beach. I am still a kit, but why? I pace the ground, making designs in the sand. I think I just wrote SOS. Oh look, Jayfeather’s here. My back hurts, and he is looking at it in surprise. Why doesn’t anything make sense? I run over to a pond that is always still at the beach. I see myself, but only for a moment, as the pond dries up in seconds. How could this happen? “But that is not possible!” I think that was Jayfeather, but I can’t tell. Am I screaming? Or is that my imagination? ............ Ow, why does my back hurt? Maybe there is a thorn in it. “Jayfeather? I think there might be a thorn in here!” Jayfeather looks around, then rushes in the cave. “There is no thorn Ravenkit, are you sure it is a thorn?” Then he looks at me again, like I was a cat with two tails. “Lets go get some marigold, I think we’re low on that!” He rushes me into the woods. And then he takes me to a lake. I look at myself. What is on my back? “Jayfeather, what’s on my back?” Jayfeather sighed. “Ravenkit, it looks like you have wings.”
