she was aware of a furry lump next to her. No, not a lump... her mother? A shrill mew made her wish her ears were still closed. It was female. "Her ears are open!" A warm tongue rubbed her fur. "I realize that." That was her mother. A wet nose touched her head. "Welcome to the world, precious daughter." Daughter? That must be her dad. A sudden urge hit her. She wanted to SEE her family. She struggled to open her eyes, and a burst of light surprised her. Once her eyes adjusted, she saw them. Her mother was plump and pale ginger, with leaf-green eyes and a thick tail. Her father was tall and handsome, with black and white fur and eyes shining like tree sap. Two young she-cats sat next to him--they must be her sisters! One was black with white feet and chest, and with amber eyes. The other was sleek, with midnight black fur and also amber eyes. She looked at herself. Her fur was the same color as her mom's, but more vivid. What color were her eyes? Her father's eyes brightened. "Look Appledusk, she has green eyes like you." Her eyes were green! The pure black she-cat tilted her head. "She's awfully small." Appledusk hissed softly. "Hush Maplepaw. She cant help it." The other she-cat flicked her tail right above her. She reached out to grab it, and the she-cat purred. "She's got sharp claws!" Her father examined her feet. "So she does Whitepaw." She squeaked with delight at her father's praise. Appledusk let out a mrrow of laughter. "She sounds like you Patchclaw. What should we name her?" "How about Rabbitkit?" Whitepaw suggested. "Hollykit?" Maplepaw said boredly. "I have the perfect name," Patchclaw purred. "Amberkit." Her mother smiled. "Perfect. Amberkit it is."

I am Amberkit.
