Larkkit woke to her sister prodding her awake. "Get off me Skykit, I don't care what you found!"
Skykit had a glint of amusement in her eye. "But I found a way to leave the nursery undetected!"
Larkkit watched as Skykit padded to a small hole in the nursery then jumped out in to it. Larkkit sighed then followed her sister. Skykit was always doing stuff like this. Getting both of us into trouble, then looking up at our mother all innocent-like squirming out of a punishment. Larkkit saw that Skykit was correct, as their mother, Cloudfern, didn't notice they were gone.
"This is so cool! I love being out of camp and doing our own thing!" Skykit jumped up and down excitedly. "One day we'll be able to do this without getting into trouble."
"Without me getting into trouble you mean…" Larkkit muttered.
Skykit and Larkkit padded around for a while before they heard something. "Eek! Larkkit, do you think an enemy warrior is here? Why did I agree to come with you!?"
Larkkit rolled her eyes but kept looking for whatever the noise was. She searched and saw a small tail sticking out of a bush. When she pounced on it she heard a bark! of surprise. Wait, a bark? This isn't a cat… Out of the bush came a small fox. The fox looked about two moons old, just like her.
Larkkit backed away and tried to see if she could smell any other fox, but it was only this one. Skykit was frozen with fear. "L-Larkkit, I-It's a f-fox! W-we need to g-go!" Skykit trembled with fear, but got enough energy to run back to camp. Larkkit stayed where she was.
The poor fox. No mother or clan to watch over it. "Hello little fox. I'm Larkkit. Who are you?"
The fox kit looked up at Larkkit. "I'm Storm." Storm looked curiously at Larkkit. "I thought cats were afraid of foxes, shouldn't you be running like that other cat."
Larkkit nodded. "Usually, but we are afraid of full grown foxes." Larkkit suddenly looked worried. "There aren't more of you, right?"
Storm shook his head, while Larkkit let out a sigh of relief. "I better get back to my clan. Bye Storm! I hope to see you again."
Storm nodded and they went their separate ways.
