Chapter 1
(Rainkit's POV whole book)
I snuggled next to my mother, enjoying the warmth she was giving. My eyes were tightly shut, and I refused to open them. I knew Goldenkit and Softkit had opened their eyes, because I had heard my mother saying "You have pretty eyes." to my siblings.
I was the runt of the litter. Goldenkit and Softkit had already been outside, while I hadn't even opened my eyes yet. I keep hearing things like "When is the runt opening her eyes," and "Why won't little Rainkit open her eyes?"
I was nearly a half moon old. From what my mother said my sisters had opened their eyes in a few days after our birth. I mewled and shifted by my mother's belly. I began suckling, enjoying the warm milk. I heard squeals from outside and I knew Goldenkit and Softkit were playing.
After I finished I heard a large cat come in "Hello Hailstorm." My mother said.
Hailstorm. My father. He visited often, sometimes playing with my sisters.
"Anything on Rainkit?" He asked my mother.
"No. She still refuses to open her eyes."
I'd had enough of hearing that. I pawed at my eyes and finally opened my eyes, blinking at the bright sunlight. I looked at my parents. Hailstorm was a big gray cat, while my mother, Thornwhisper, was a brown.
Thornwhisper purred at me "She has blue eyes like you. Isn't she adorable?"
Hailstorm purred "Yes. I have heard that the last kit is the sweetest kit. She's the cutest, but I'll admit she is pretty stubborn."
I heard a commotion at the nursery entrance to see my sisters pad in. Goldenkit; a gold kit, and Softkit; a white. Both of them had eyes like our parents. They taunted "Well, the runt opened her eyes finally."
I hissed "I'm not a runt! Just because I'm the youngest doesn't mean I'm the runt. You two don't even look like our parents!"
Thornwhisper looked shocked "Rainkit! Don't say such things!"
"Well it's true!" I mew before curling up in a corner of the nursery and falling asleep. I hear them talk as I go to sleep.
"She is definitely going to be a troublemaker Hailstorm."
"Sure is Thornwhisper. I think we should tell Goldenkit and Softkit to quit teasing her and calling her a runt. That may help her."
"Maybe. But now, I don't know what to do with her."
