-Born From The Stars- chapter 2 .Chapter 2 Minnowkit laid on the ground soaking up the newleaf sun. She was so bored! “Ugh, there's nothing to do here!” She flipped over on her side. Minnowkit watched the hunting patrol enter the camp again, mouths full of prey. She couldn't wait to be an apprentice and be able to leave the camp. “Hey Minnowkit!” That was Emberlilly. “Come help me sort herbs, will you?” “Fine.” She replied. Minnowkit always hated how Emberlilly kept calling her out for medicine cat tasks. It was like she was already her apprentice! Well, she had some bad news for Emberlilly, cause there was no way she was going to spend her life surrounded by stinky herbs, and talking to dead cats. Minnowkit still helped most of the time though, because it was better than trying to play with the other kits again. “Oh great! You can start by separating the yarrow from the watermint while I find the dock.” The white and ginger cat meowed, turning back to the wall of herbs. Minnowkit looked at the pile. Leaves and slightly different leaves. She started to clumsily pick them apart when Emberlilly said, “I saw what happened with Vixenkit, Grasskit and Shallowkit the other day.” She pulled the dock leaves out. “I'm sorry they've been bullying you. After you left I gave them an earful and told them to never do it again.” “You what?” Minnowkit couldn't believe her luck. “They probably think I'm a tattletail now!” She put her paws on her face. It wasn't possible for them to hate her more was it? “Hey, hey, it's okay. You should never let them get the best of you.” Emberlilly tried to soothe her. Minnowkit huffed. Easy for her to say. “Since the moment I found you, I knew you were something special. I believe you have a great destiny that lies ahead, Minnowkit.” “Well I don't want to be special!” She spat. “I just want to be normal.” She left the pile of herbs and walked out of the den. Maybe if she was normal nobody would hate her. Maybe if she was normal the warriors wouldn't stare when she walked by. Maybe if she was normal she would be treated the same as everyone else. There was nothing left for Minnowkit in this stuffy camp. It was in her blood to explore! And explore she would. She could slip away at night when no one was looking and finally get away from it all. Just how to without getting caught? “Um, I could help.” Minnowkit quickly turned around to see Shallowkit standing behind her. Mouse dung! She must have said that out loud. She shook her head. Wait, why was he here? He teased her all the time! “Um sorry, but if you’re trying to sneak out, I have a way.” “Huh? Why are you trying to help me now when you were so mean before?” Minnowkit replied confused. “Oh. Right. I'm really sorry about my siblings! I never meant to harm you, I just didn't want to become the extra egg in the nest.” Shallowkit shuffled his paws. Now that Minnowkit thought about it, it never really was Shallowkit doing the bullying, just Vixenkit and Grasskit. “Okay I'll trust you, what's this ‘way’ you have?” Oh, it's perfect. Meet me at dusk behind the nursery.”
