Alone.
In the warm dark of the Thunderclan nursery, a ginger kit raised her head. She glanced at the smaller black and ginger kit next to her.
"Foxkit!" She squealed. The dark kits, Foxkit's head shot up .She grunted, as the ginger kit, Sandkit, scrambled to her paws.
"Dappletail's gone!" She shrieked. Foxkit jumped up also, spinning around on unsteady legs.
"Dappletail!" She wailed. Frostfur, one of the queens, hurried over.
"Hush, sweet babies. Dappletail went for a walk, she'll be back." She soothed. Foxkit pressed against her flank.
"Sorry, Frostfur, we just got scared." Sandkit apologized. Graykit, a very large, fluffy gray tom, bounded up. Following him were Dustkit and Ravenkit, the other kits.
"Come on Foxkit, we'll go play. Your mother will be back in no time!" Graykit squeaked , leading her away.
"Yeah, Sandkit, come on!" Dustkit echoed, bounding away, with Sandkit right behind him. Ravenkit followed, with one glance at Frostfur, who, for some reason, had started purring loudly.
