The Chosen Two

By: Aquamoon79

Moonkit opened her eyes and yawned in the bright sunlight. Her mother, was sleeping next to her. She glanced at another kit, called Violetkit sleeping nearby quietly. She was indigo, with purple patches around her body. Violetkit stared at Moonkit. She was all black. Violetkit noticed that Moonkit wasn't that active, well, it doesn't matter. Violetkit smirked, and flicked her tail into Moonkit's face. Violetkit giggled, and stared at Robinkit with her blue eyes, grinning.

"Hey!" Moonkit squealed. She leapt up and pounced on her playfully. They were best friends, ever since the moment they were born. "I'm going to get you!" she cried.

Violetkit ran, for she was a great runner, "Oh, no you aren't!"suddenly, she bumped into her mother, Rosestream. The mother she-cat bumped violetkit playfully.

"Be careful, Violetkit," she licked Violetkit's fur, smoothing it out. Violetkit hated being groomed. She made a hiss of annoyance, "Rosestream, I don't need being groomed! Let me go and play!"

Rosestream backed off, mewing, "Ok, Violetkit, I only did that because well, you looked awful before," Rosestream was very fond of Violetkit's look.

Violetkit rolled her eyes, "Yeah, like I care," she retorted.

Rosestream stared at Violekit, scowling at her, "Violetkit," she cuffed Violetkit in the head.

"Ow!" she fell over, and got back up, embarassed.

"Come on, Violetkit, let's play!" Moonkit called. She spotted a butterfly outside and went to go chase it.

"Moonkit, come back! You're too young to come out of the nursery," Willowpelt, her mother meowed.

"Moonkit stomped over. "When will I be old enough?" she sighed. "It seems like I'm too young everyday."

"Kits," Willowpelt told Rosestream.

Rosestream laughed, "I'm sure we were like that too when we were little," (lol i love that)

Violetkit nudged Moonkit playfully, "Hey, cheer up. At least we have each other and-" she was cut off by a grunt.

"Hey! You two woke me up! Yeesh. I wish you two weren't so playful and squeaky," grumbled a bracken-colored kit.

Violetkit rolled her eyes, "I forgot about Thistlekit. Oh StarClan!" she exclaimed.

"What's wrong with me?" demanded Thistlekit, lashing his tail.

"Oh, like, everything!" glared Violetkit.

"I wish I never had you as a sister!" retorted Thislekit.

"Now, stop it this instant, you two!" lectured their mother, her neck fur rising.

"Sorry," they said in unision.

Rosestream sighed, and licked her chest fur. Thistlekit and Violetkit stole glances at each other. Violetkit stalked away to Moonkit.

"Man, that kit just drives me crazy!" spat Violetkit to Moonkit.

Moonkit giggled. "Yeah, I guess." She took another peek outside, and sighed wistfully, looking at all the apprentices and warriors and elders and..."I wish I could go outside," she mewed. "But that won't be until..." she pondered for a moment. "Three moons." She looked back at Violetkit and said, "Don't you too?"

"Three moons isn't long," Willowpelt reassured her.

"It feels like forever," she complained. "Like everyday is the same and time is frozen." She stole a glance at Thistlekit. He was sleeping soundly. She thought back to the days where she had her own sister. A flashback started.

"Don't you wish you could be a warrior, Moonkit? I can't wait!" The white kit eyes were shining as a ginger she-cat passed by. "Willowpelt told me that was Sandstorm. She's the fastest warrior in the Clan. I wanna be just like her!"

"Yeah!"

"Do you want to go on an adventure?"

"What do you mean by that, Dapplekit?"

Dapplekit leaned in close and whispered, "A real adventure. Come on, let's go to the dirtplace to escape. Unless you're too scared," she teased.

Moonkits eyes flashed defiantly. "I'm not scared! No way!"

The two kits made their way to the dirtplace. "Come on, I know a way," Dapplekit told her.

They padded on until they reached a black path. It smelled terrible. "Ewwww," Moonkit complained. "It smells bad."

"Let's cross it anyway." Dapplekit bounded forward. Suddenly, a monster approached.

"Look out!" but it was too late. Dapplekit was left on the black path, limp, and bleeding. "Dapplekit!" She looked if there were any more of those monsters again, then went to drag her sister out of the way, keeping her tears at bay. Moonkit didn't notice, but a silver cat standing by a violet cat was staring at them. Beside them was a indogo kit, with violet patches. The kit was put to sleep by a berry for a while. Moonkit buried her nose into her sisters fur, trying to find warmth, but none could be found. None. Dapplekit gave a little shudder, then all the heat drained from her.

Suddenly Moonkit felt a pang of sadness. She missed her sister so much. Willowpelt noticed. "Moonkit! What's wrong?" she asked, alarmed.

Violetkit was alarmed too, "Moonkit," suddenly she remembered. Moonkit must have been remembering her sister, Dapplekit. Moonkit had once talked about her.

"You're thinking about Dapplekit aren't you?" asked Violetkit.

""Oh, for Starclan's sake!" spat Thistlekit angrily, "You are such a pain in the neck!" He lashed his tail, annoyed.

"Thistlekit!" scolded Rosestream. She pushed him over. She turned to Willowpelt, "I'm so sorry for Thistlekit's behavior." She turned to Moonkit. "Moonkit, I know you miss your sister a lot, but when Bluestar was still alive, she lost her mother and her sister. So you must know how hard it was for her," Rosestream said smoothly.

Moonkit sighed and padded over to the back of the den.

Violetkit followed, lying down beside Moonkit.
