❊ FEARLESS ❊
Sun rays warmed the earth until it was nearly baked, and heat could be seen rising from the dust. It was dreadfully hot, a little too hot for a tan she-cat's liking. The small kit enjoyed winter, and the cold, even though she'd never experienced it before. She assumed it was better than the hot mess she was dealing with now. She sun beat down onto her back, and she felt more and more like a fired, charred, dead tree than anything. She small ears flicked back and forth as she sat, posed perfectly on her rock, her eyes closed and chin up a bit. It was placed in nearly the center of the camp, providing her with the perfect means of hearing anyone coming close from any direction. Her keen ears picked up the sound of loud wing flaps overhead, and she wondered what bird would be circling over her at this time in the day.
She felt like she was sitting in the middle of a desert, the vultures lazily waiting for her to die. However, the stubborn kit wasn't about to die anytime soon, she had a long life ahead of her. Her name was Adderkit, once Snake, a name her parents had given her. But upon joining the clans, she received a new name. Personally, she thought 'Adder' sounded cooler than 'Snake,' even if they meant the same thing. She also didn't care much for the suffix 'kit,' at the end of her name, but she'd have to deal with it. They told her when she became an apprentice, that suffix would change to 'paw,' then when she finally came of age and turned into a warrior, she would be renamed once more. Her suffix then was a surprise, even the leader didn't know it yet. If she ever was to become leader, her name would change one more time. She'd be Adderstar, but she believed that would never happen, and she was slightly glad about that.
Once again, her fur rose slightly in annoyance of the sun, and her eyes flew open. She sighed half-heartedly and leaped from her rock, setting off to find shade. She found it fairly quickly, next to the warrior's den. As she lay down in it, drained of energy because of the sun, she noticed a blurred figure nearing her, it's form disoriented from heat waves. She lifted her head from the dirt and tilted it as so she could see the figure clearer as it neared. Of course, it was another cat, so she lay her head back down in the dirt, waiting for it to approach her and speak.
