Kit Adventures:

Wolfkit

Wolfkit awoke to the light filtering in the nursery; he huddled closer to his mother for warmth. He shot his liquid blue eyes open in a flash, his tiredness suddenly gone. He got up and looked around, no one was paying attention. He took this opportunity to slip out of the nursery.

He padded outside the nursery and looked around with wide blue eyes; all the warriors and apprentices where going on with their duties and Wolfkit stared in awe. He shook his tiny little head and, looking both ways, he scampered towards the forest.

He padded around, looking at the vast forest with blue eyes as big as full moons. He gave his fluffy little black and white pelt, mostly white, a quick lick before scampering around the huge forest. He spotted a mouse and his blue eyes glimmered. He trotted excitedly up to it and the mouse quickly shot away.

He began scampering excitedly after it; he gave a small pounce and landed in the dust. "Mousedung" he squeaked. "It got away"

He got up and looked around again, padding around the enormous forest by himself. While he was walking, he suddenly bumped into something. He looked up, only to see his father's amber eyes staring down at him. He looked down and squeaked a quiet 'busted' under his breath.

Without a word Lightningstar grabbed the small, fluffy kit by the scruff and started to pad back to camp. After a while, a big fox jumped out from some bushes and rammed into Lightningstar, making him let go of Wolfkit. The fox reacted quickly and leapt, closing his jaws around the small kit's scruff. He quickly landed and dashed away, the kit in his jaws. Wolfkit squirmed, trying to get free from the fox's grasp without success.

Lightningstar rushed after the fox as quick as lightning and pounced on its back. The fox let go of Lightningstar's kit and he took this chance to grab him again by the scruff. Lightningstar, once he grabbed his kit, stomped his paws against the fox's back and swatted as its muzzle. The fox quickly got up and shot away.

Lightningstar turned around and padded back to camp, his kit dangling from his jaws. When he reached it, Snowtail quickly dashed towards him and licked her kit frantically. Lightningstar flicked his tail for her to stop. "I need a word with him" he mewed sternly, his voice muffled by his son's fur.

Snowtail nodded and followed her mate into the nursery. Lightningstar dropped his son on the nursery's floor and shot him a look through narrowed eyes. "What do you think you were doing?" he questioned Wolfkit. "Exploring" Wolfkit mewled sheepishly.

"You are not supposed to be out of the nursery" Lightningstar mewed sharply. "You are not an apprentice yet"

"The nursery's boring!" Wolfkit complained. "I need adventures!" Wolfkit's blue eyes gleamed.

"Enough!" Lightningstar silenced him with a hiss. "Don't you know that you could have been killed!" When he didn't get a response from his small kit, he looked down at him and saw that he was chasing his fluffy tail. "Are you even listening?" Lightningstar mewed, frustrated now. "I wanna do it again!" Wolfkit exclaimed, giving small little excited bounces around the nursery. Lightningstar gave himself a mental facepalm and sighed exasperated.

"Kits" he exhaled slowly, shaking his head. He couldn't help but smile down at him; he just couldn't stay mad at his adventurous little kit.
