Mousefern's Journey

Mousefern's Journey
The story of Mousefern before she found SunClan
By Sandy
==Chapter One==
Mousekit glared defiantly at Brindlekit, who gave her a sidelong glance and then smirked. "I can do it!" Mousekit meowed, failing terribly at raising her voice. 
"I'm brave, and talented! More so than you!" She added, bristling as Brindlekit and her brothers, Sootkit and Longkit, who were shrieking with laughter. Brindlekit drew her head up, a look of utter surprise in her eyes, before she burst out laughing again.
"You? More brave and talented than us?! Is that what you really think? You were the one too scared to put stink-beetles in Serpentstar's den!" Sootkit jeered, his sleek dusty brown pelt glowingin the dim sunrise light. Mousekit glared at her brother. 
"Yeah, so? You three got in trouble off Larchfoot afterwards!" She squealed, racing away from her bullies for littermates towards a little shadowed over area in the corner of camp. Her littermates were so mean! Like mum and dad, Mousekit thought bitterly, remembering only last night her mother screaming at her for going to the elders den, even though her littermates went as well, but they didn't get in trouble. I guess my family hates me. Mousekit settled down with a yelp of anguish. 
Sometimes I wish I was the daughter of someone else. My family doesn't deserve me, I deserve better! Mousekit barely noticed a voice speaking to her and she jumped when she realised at was Larchfoot, SoulClan's deputy. The tom seemed marginally concerned and Mousekit held back a sob. 
"Are you okay?" The deputy asked, love glittering in his eyes. Larchfoot had never had a mate or kits, but he really liked kits, especially Mousekit. She considered him her father, instead of her real father, Birchleap. Mousekit shook her head, not answering.
Instead she asked Larchfoot how he had seen her. "Sandynose spotted you," he told her carefully. Everyone knew that once Larchfoot was SoulClan's leader Sandynose would be the deputy. Mousekit wanted him to be her mentor when she was six-moons old! 
Maybe he can help me with my family! Mousekit thought and she blurted out, "my littermates are bullying me again and it's just getting too much." Larchfoot looked at her with sympathy. He seems to understand how I feel right now! Mousekit realised when the deputy smiled at her reassuringly. 
"Why don't you take a stroll in the woods? You're sensible enough to look after yourself," Larchfoot meowed thoughtfully, tilting his head as Mousekit let out a shrill cry of amazement.
