BLUESTAR'S STORY

BLUEKIT:

Bluekit yawned as she came out of the nursery.

"Lionkit," she whispered urgently in the dark.

"What?" groaned Lionkit sleepily.

"LIONKIT wake up," Bluekit shook Lionkit with her little blue paws, "don't you remember what were going to do today?"

"What if we get in trouble?" Lionkit fully awake now, yawned, eying Bluekit suspiciously.

Bluekit sighed, she had been the one with the idea of proving that they were ready to be apprentices but it seemed that Lionkit had chickened out.

"Oh well I suppose I'll become an apprentice and you won't," she said.

Lionkit glared at her and jumped up next to her side. His golden fur was already thick and it seemed to be glowing in the dark.

The two kits had grown very close after losing there siblings. Though Lionkit was a bit too cautious, Bluekit had her ways of getting him to do what she wanted. This mission was her best idea yet, and with the help of Lionkit, she knew that they would be Bluepaw and Lionpaw in no time.

"Hurry," Lionpaw said taking charge, "don't make to much noise or Tigerkit will wake up.

Bluekit nodded Tigerkit wasn't even a moon old yet while she and Lionkit were just over five moons. Tradition had it that kits became apprentices at six moons but she and Lionkit were going to change that tonight. Quietly Bluekit prowled behind her den mate through the camp.

Suddenly Lionkit stopped looking at the camp entrance "How are we going to get past Dappletail?" he asked.

Bluekit tried her best to keep a serious and prepared face.

Lionkit glared at her "Bluekit," he cried "you didn't plan that part out did you?"

Bluekit put her head down ashamed as Lionkit began scolding her. The two kits stayed in the shadows whispering and arguing on what to do. Bluekit let out a long disappointed sigh but Lionkit put his tail over her mouth to quiet her.

"You furball, what was-" Bluekit stopped in mid-sentence. Walking towards them was serious old Redpaw. Bluekit hated Redpaw, he was just so stuck up because he was the deputies apprentice and he was way to serious. Quickly Bluekit flicked her tail for Lionkit to follow her and walked quietly back towards the nursery.

"What now?" Lionkit sighed in the safety of the den.

Bluekit was much to busy to hear him, her little paws had found a hole at the back of the nursery just big enough for the kits. "It's perfect," she cried gleefully.

Lionkit followed Bluekit happily. "We've done it," but then realizing Bluekit wasn't talking and getting out was only the beginning of there mission he asked "now how do we prove we're ready to be apprentices?"

"Umm," Bluekit said cursing herself for not planning that part, "let's get farther from the camp and I'll think of that part."

"Bluekit," Lionkit whispered suddenly, "do you smell that?"

"Fox," Bluekit screeched recognizing the smell, "RUN."

Running as fast as there kit legs could carry them the two kits made there way toward what they thought was home.

"We're lost," Lionkit said when they got away from the fox, "and it's all your fault," he added glaring at Bluekit.

Bluekit didn't hear him, she was to busy smelling there way back, "intruder" she screamed.

Lionkit opened his mouth and started running toward the bush where the smell was coming from.

"Furball," Bluekit screech surprised at how mousebrained Lionkit was acting she ran toward the new cat smell hoping it was a kittypet that they could easily defeat.

"Bluekit," scolded a new voice "I'm very disappointed in you."

Bluekit gasped Redfur stood in front of her looking very unhappy.

"I-I'm sorry father," she said trying not to meet Redfur's eyes. In her mind she absolutely couldn't believe she hadn't recognized her own father's smell let alone that he was Thunderclan. 'Mousebrain' she cursed herself again and again.
