"I remember almost all of it," Storm began. "Lightsky was always kind to me, and so was Owlkit. But Blackkit always hated me, and I'm pretty sure Silverkit just likes to be with Blackkit.
Ashkit and Boulderkit were in the nursery too.

Me and Ashkit were good friends, and on my first day out of the nursery, I was with her." She explained that day and all its glory, when she got teased by an annoying tom named Treepaw, and gave him a permanent scar, ripping his ear in half.
"Was there lots of blood?" T.C demanded to know, and Storm could see he looked at her in respect.
"There was some. But not much. I'd rather not describe it in full detail," she admitted.
"Oh."

T.C would've made a great warrior, Storm thought as she continued.
"I snuck out of camp once." Her heart ached as she thought about that awful day. "I-I made Owlkit come with me... we- we found a forest..." she kept trailing off, hoping that Snowshoe would get it that she didn't want to talk about that day, but Snowshoe was busy licking Fearher's forehead, so Storm had to continue, "We crossed another clan's land without realizing it. And when we got to the forest, a very heavy mist formed, and me and Owlkit got separated from on each other.

Then-" she broke off, eyes stinging. "Then I found him. At the bottom of a cliff.
He didn't survive the fall. I saw him at the bottom and..." she couldn't bring herself to go on.
Snowshoe noticed. "It's okay. You can stop now."
"No, I would like to go on." Storm blinked the blurriness away. "The clan who's territory we crossed did not take it well... they attacked. And while the battle was going on, one of my own clanmates attacked me, but a Moonclan cat pulled me out of the way just in time."
"Warriors seem to fight a lot." Feather noted. "Snowshoe told us stories about their battles." The grey she-kit paused. The added, "You really lived there?"
"Yes." Storm nodded. "I did."

"Please continue!" T.C begged.
"Okay... I attacked the cat who saved me-"
"Why on earth would you do that?!" Jack demanded.
"Jack!" Snowshoe meowed. "Let Storm continue."
"Sorry."

"I broke her tail. I'm pretty sure it's permanently crooked now..." she kept talking, explaining how she was made an apprentice, and her mentor- Pineclaw- had almost killed her, then chased her over the edge of a cliff. "He hit a rock, and I thought I was a goner. But then... I felt icy water, and I saw a cat jump in after me."

"Maybe that's enough for tonight." Snowshoe interrupted. "You need to rest."
That was true. Storm felt like her legs were going to fall off, and her back needed to stretch. All of her muscles were aching.
"I'll show you to your nest!" Feather volunteered.
"Okay." Storm got up snd stumbled sleepily after her sister.

Once she was alone in her nest, she lay there to think of everything that had happened over the last day. She'd met her mother, brother and sister, she'd found a safe place, she'd met so many other cats her age, and best of all, she felt like she'd found where she belonged.
