K Peeps, when you walk into my house, things get real :P. Okay, this is my first story (for those who bother to read it) so please give me critical critiques if you would like! On with the story!

As I opened my eyes, I saw the world around me, or at least my den. It was so… bright! A kitten went to my eyes. Her fur spotted.

"Oh good, your finally awake, Whitekit. I'm Leopardkit by the way, your sister! Let's go explore camp, Badgernose made me wait until you were up, so let's go!"

I got up and stumbled a little, but I made my way with Leopardkit out of my den. The world was so giant! I saw cats all around that smiled and chatted and shared tongues. Two cats walked up to me and Leopardkit.

"Hi!" I squeaked happily.

"Hello Whitekit and Leopardkit. I'm Tanglestar, and this is your father, Stripedlegs," Tanglestar had a hint of sadness in her eyes as our father nuzzled us, like she was missing something.

We made our way through camp, (We got caught in the warriors den!) until three kits snuck up behind us.

"Hey, little kits," one said snobbily.

"Hey," I said cautiously.

"So, we have a white kit and a leopard patterned one. Hey, Leopard, is it true you're a true blooded descendant of Leopardclan? Everyone says you are. Mother of Badgernose too, couldn't be luckier…"

"What about me?" I meowed. I wasn't gonna let my sister get all the love. I was still there, if they hadn't seen me.

"You?" he snickered, "A stupid white kit? What's so special about you? So whiny for attention. You'll be worse than Scar-Eye. I heard he was the worst. Old and cranky-"

"And what else, Branchkit? Did you forget he died as a true warrior? Or maybe that he was my mentor, guiding me the way of the warriors. Those things you heard about him are wrong. I knew him the best, and he was not like that. He had different ways of teaching. Always a loyal warrior to Lightningclan. Just like Lightningstar," Tanglestar snarled. I realized why Tanglestar was sad right then. She must have missed the fatherly love between her and Scar-Eye.

"Sorry Tanglestar," Branchkit muttered. Tanglestar looked satisfied, and left.

"Leopard, come with us. White can stay back," Branchkit growled. Leopardkit pranced after Branchkit as I sat there, left behind. Was it supposed to be this hard to be a warrior? I hope not. But Tanglestar walked up to me again. I hope I didn't do anything wrong…

"Hello Whitekit, again," Tanglestar started, "I know what it's like to be left behind. Wanna tour of my den? I'll even let you go on the Strike-Tree, where I make announcements."

"That would be awesome!" I stated happily. Tanglestar led me towards her den, and it was totally cool! Her bed was in a deep dark corner. She led me towards the Strike-Tree, which is totally awesome, and we both stood up there.

"Oh Whitekit? I totally forgot I have to go on a hunting patrol. If anyone asks why you're up here, tell them I have you special permission," Tanglestar gave me a smile and ran off.

I laid down and sniffed the Strike-Tree. Besides Tanglestar and me, it smelt like berries and honey… mmmm. All those wonderful smells filled my nostrils until a cat hollered to me.

"Whitekit! Get down here now!" a white cat with black stripes and blue eyes called.

"Tanglestar gave me special permission to come up here! So I can stay up here!"

"That's just silly, the Strike-Tree is for Tanglestar only. Now get down from there." By now most of the clan was poking their heads out and seeing what was going on. I even saw Branchkit's group and Leopardkit snickering at me. It made me even more determined to stay up there.

"No. I haven't had a really good day so far. But this is something that I will keep," I snarled, my claws unsheathed, eyes in slits.

"Don't worry Badgernose, I'll get her," Stripedlegs said, coming up to the Strike-Tree. Uh oh. Badgernose was my mother.

Stripedlegs jumped up and held me by the scruff. Now Branchkit's group and even Leopardkit were howling with laughter. I wriggled as hard as I could, and Stripedlegs dropped me. I sprinted out into the forest. If anyone understood me, it was sure to be Tanglestar.

*Ten Minutes Later!*

I finally found Tanglestar and her hunting patrol. I crashed into Tanglestar, exhausted from my long run.

"Whitekit…" Tanglestar murmured.

"I tried to tell them Tanglestar, but they just wouldn't listen. Even Leopardkit laughed at me..." I cried.

"It's alright. I understand Whitekit," I'm so glad she did too. I was surprised she wasn't mad either for me leaving camp. She told Pantherstreak to lead the patrol, and she carried me by the scruff back to camp.

Everyone looked at Tanglestar and me. When she put me down, I nuzzled against her. Badgernose was the first to stalk up to us.

"Tanglestar, did you know Whitekit here went up to the-"

"Yes Badgernose, I know. I gave her permission when she was left out when the other kits played," Tanglestar interrupted, standing up for me.

Branchkit and his group (I officially name Leopardkit in that stupid group) looked down at their paws guiltily.

"I will have no punishment for Whitekit for leaving camp. She was scared of this new and unexpected environment around her. Everyone can now go back to what they were doing."

When I went to try and go talk to Badgernose, she just gave me a dirty look and stalked away. So much for a mother. I left Tanglestar because I didn't want to talk to her right then (mixed feelings) so I went over to what I had discovered the medicine den. A white handsome gleaming tom-cat stood at the entrance, a black stripe down his back.

"'Sup Whitekit. I hope you're feeling okay. Tanglestar's a great cat, don't yah think? Stripedlegs is my brother, which makes Tanglestar my mother, and Jaygleam my father," he said. The cat seemed to have a cool boldness to him. Just the right amount.

"Oh! So you're like my uncle? And, I don't think you said your name…" I started.

"Sorry, I'm Blacksky. Kinda hard in clan life though, I can tell especially for you. When I was a kit, I never really liked playing with the other cats. Vinewing, the medicine cat then, who lived a wonderful life, by the way, loved having me sort herbs and help out. The other kits made fun of me. But I was proud of myself. That's all that mattered to me," explained Blacksky.

"That… clears many things up for me Blacksky. Thank you so much," I answered, honestly grateful.

As I started walking off, Blacksky called after me. "Just promise me you will visit me later!"

"I promise!"

As I walked to my den, I held my chin high in the air as cats all around stared. It was already getting close to night! I yawned and found Badgernose and Leopardkit curled up together. I was about to weasel my way in, until Badgernose gave me a very mean look.

"Make your own nest, stupid kit," she snarled.

I stood there clueless. Where was moss to even start with?! I decided to run into the medicine den. Blacksky would help me. He was curled up in his den, one eye opened as I sprinted to him, crying.

"Shh, Whitekit. What's wrong?" he queried softly.

"B-badgern-nose w-won't l-let me s-sleep with her!" I snuffled.

"It's alright Whitekit. You can come sleep in the spare nest by me,"

He grabbed the nest and pulled it over with his teeth next to me. I laid in it, right next to his warm soft body, as I fell asleep. At about midnight, I was softly awoken… by Badgernose? I ignored her though, she wasn't worth it.

"Whitekit? I'm sorry that I acted that way. I was just a little infuriated."

Ignore.

"Please forgive me?"

Ignore.

"I was thinking about taking you into the forest for a little stroll,"

I turned and looked at her, and slowly got up. I had to believe that my mother was honestly trying to help. She smiled warmly, and she took me by the scruff as I felt the cool wind blow through my whiskers. She walked for a while, then set me down.

"Let's rest here."

We laid down for a while (So climatic!) until she stood up.

"What?" I squeaked.

No answer came. All she did was give a sharp battle cry and ran, far from me.

"INTRUDERS!" a scream came from inside the forest. I was surrounded by cats, as I whimpered.

"I'll take this one," a small shadow emerged and he took his claws and scratched my flank with no mercy. I fell immediately with the pain.

"STOP!" roared a muscular cat, stalking through the circle of cats.

"Sorry Jaygleam," he muttered as I writhed in pain. But I stopped as I heard that name.

"Jaygleam," I breathed. My pain was forgotten. I jumped up (after two attempts) and looked at the cat. Blue fur that gleamed in the moonlight.

"D-do you know Blacksky?" is all I could handle to say.

"Who?"

"Or… maybe Tanglestar?"

He stopped and stared at me. His eyes wide. I got his attention.

"I'll meet you in the medicine den," he muttered as he walked away. Everyone followed him.

I sighed. I dragged myself a little bit before a she-cat ran to me and picked me up, carrying me to the medicine den.

"Thanks," I mumbled

"No prob'" she said and walked away.

"What do you know about Tanglebreath…Or I mean Tanglestar,"

"W-well, I'm from… Tanglestar's clan. My mother is Badgernose. My father is Stripedlegs. Stripedlegs brother is Blacksky, and Stripedlegs and Blacksky are Tanglestar's sons. I thought you were in… Oh I know! Lightningclan," I looked at my bleeding flank, pain flashing through my veins. Jaygleam said something, but I didn't listen. As I saw my blood, I panicked.

"HELP ME! HELP ME!" I screamed like crazy, tears pouring down my cheeks. Everyone was walking in as I twisted and turned, when I was in insanity world.

"Soulsimmer, get her some herbs now," Jaygleam commanded. A small milky-white cat got some leaves and cobwebs and put them on my flank. They burned like crazy.

"NO! NO! NO… more pain," I was sobbing now. "Why me?" Suddenly, all turned black as night, with one problem, there was no stars.

All right folks

I know, I know. Not my greatest chapter in the world (In my opinion). As my fingers flew across the keyboard, I didn't know how in the world I could come up with this stuff! I do not need OC's, and this is why:

Okay, first chappie and first story, I know. But I plan to do Tanglestar's generation, and Blacksky's generation.

Please, tell me what you honestly thought! Critical critiques are welcome! R+R please! (With cherries on top… yummy!)

PEACE OUT

-Tangle (yes, I know, Tanglebreath/star is supposed to be meh :P)
