Wait for Me
Two kits were born, identical in every way except for their personalities. Silverkit, the rambunctious and mischief causing twin who could never seem to stay away from trouble. Crescentkit, the shy and patient kit who always thought before she acted. The two were inseparable, despite their differences.
"Wait for me!" Crescentkit yelled, bounding after her twin as the two sprinted through camp, their silver pelts a blur. Silverkit slowed her pace slightly, and then shot off again once Crescentkit caught up. Many of the cats would remark later that the two brought laughter and energy to the clan.
4 Moons Later
"Tag!" Silverpaw smacked the shoulder of a fellow apprentice and dashed away, laughing. The apprentice followed, close at her paws. Suddenly, a loud call was heard.
"Wait for me!" Another silver cat sprinted after Silverpaw, streaking past the tom chasing her twin. She caught up with her sister and gave her a slight grin.
"Always," Silverpaw answered, smiling widely before getting tackled by the tom.
Leaf-Bare: 6 Moons Later
Silversong shivered, her breath leaving wisps of white in the chilly air. "It's cold," she mewed to her twin, who was too occupied with keeping from freezing to answer. Silversong was about to make another remark when a warrior appeared from the bushes, panting heavily.
"BADGERS!" He yowled, and as if on cue, a large black and white creature swatted him aside, leaving deep claw marks on the cat. The camp erupted into chaos, kits crying, badgers growling and warriors assembling to protect the nursery. Four badgers emerged, slashing at the clan cats.
In the midst of the battle, the twins were ushering kits into safety. Yet another badger appeared and stepped towards the kittens, but Silversong stepped in his way, her lip pulled up in a snarl. Crescentmoon turned and saw the badger, eyes wide.
Not a single cat now knows what happened, but after the fight with the badgers, the two she cats lay crumpled next to each other, gashes running across their flanks. The badger lay dead in front of them, and Silversong was unmoving. Crescentmoon crawled closer to her sister, licking her weakly. "Wait…for…me…" It was then that the two sisters died, side by side.
