Opposites Attract
My name is Brightpaw. I hate my name.

My name is Nightpaw. I love my name!

There is nothing  bright  about me. I am a dark brown tabby she-cat with dark blue eyes and black patches.

I love the night! It’s my second favorite time of day. I mean, my fur may be snowy white and my eyes might be bright green but the night is awesome! You get to see StarClan! Plus, I was born at night.

There’s my mentor. He says I’m not doing well enough. I’ll show him. I won’t play games with my silly siblings. I’ll train and make SkyClan proud.

There’s my mentor. She says I’m the most enthusiastic apprentice she’s ever had! I think that’s a good thing. I’m doing well in my training, so it must! I play-fight with my brother a lot at nights. It’s fun, even though I’m not a kit anymore.

There’s Sparrowstar. The leader. I want to be just like him. Brightstar sounds cheap and silly, but everything with my dumb name will be. Thanks, Mom. But it’s SO much better than Brightpaw or Brightkit or whatever by cheesy warrior name will be.

There’s Sparrowstar. He’s such a great leader. He talks to everyone and visits the kits all the time and does chores with the apprentices and helps everyone. He’s the hardest worker. I hope he’s leader forever, even though I know that will never happen.

There’s Lightpaw. My brother. He’s quiet and shy and boring. He always plays with his sister instead of being serious about training. He never talks to me.

There’s Lightpaw. My brother. He’s quiet, but when he says something, it’s usually worth listening to. He always plays with me and we get better every day! I saw him beat my sister in a tree-climbing race. She was smoldering.

There’s Nightpaw. My sister. The optimist, kind to everyone, always positive. Everyone likes her. She’s so good at everything. I wish I had her name. It sounds so much more dark and mysterious, so much more  me.

There’s Brightpaw. My sister. She’s so confident and skilled in everything she does and so fierce. She’ll fight anyone. She always has a vicious move or response ready. She actually trains instead of playing. I think her name suits me more, but I can live with mine.

Brightpaw.

Nightpaw.

The pessimist.

The optimist.

The fierce.

Kind to everyone.

Sisters.
