Hi there. I'm Pikachu77. You probably have never heard of me unless you are one of my closest friendsEnjoy!
Leafkit blinked hard several times as he woke up to the morning sun. He padded outside of the nursery and looked around. The dawn patrol had just came back, and Barkstar was surveying the camp on Highrock. He crawled back into the nursery to see if Duskkit was awake. His bright green pelt glowed in the morning light. Just as he was about to step into the nursery, Adderpelt blocked his path. The sleek, brown-striped tom glowered over him, casting a shadow over Leafkit. "Where do you think you're going?" Adderpelt thundered. Leafkit shrank back in fear.
"I-I was just heading back to the nursery to t-talk to D-Duskkit…" Leafkit mewed meekly.
"I don't want any trouble, you hear?" Adderpelt growled.
" Y-yes Adderpelt," Leafkit sighed. When he finally got to the nursery, Duskkit looked up.
"Adderpelt giving you trouble again?" she asked exasperatedly once Adderpelt was out of earshot.
"Yeah," Leafkit muttered sadly. "I hate it when people judge us, just because of Stormpelt's prophecy."
"Seriously, why did Stormpelt even have to prophesize that stupid prophecy anyway?" Duskkit moaned.
"What are you calling stupid, you kit? I'll bet Stormpelt's prophecy was right. See? You're causing trouble right now by badmouthing the prophecy," Adderpelt declared triumphantly.
"Adderpelt, what are you doing by the nursery?" It was Barkstar. He was one of the few who admired the kits, and now he was sticking up for them.
"I uh..er...was teaching the kits a new move about dodging…" Adderpelt's voice trailed off into a guilty silence as he tried to make an excuse.
"Are you sure? Because I heard the word stupid kit. Surely that wasn't from you?"Barkstar asked.
"I...er…"Adderpelt didn't finish his sentence.
"Then surely you have no reason to be here. Right?" Barkstar asked, as if he didn't realize Adderpelt's face was red.
"Right,"Adderpelt muttered, then trotted away from the nursery, his fur bristling and ears flat on his head. Before he got away, he hissed to Leafkit, "You better watch out for yourself and your little friend there, because one day, even Barkstar can't protect you, you'll see."
"Adderpelt!" Barkstar shot him a warning look before saying "I heard every word you said. May I question your loyalty to this clan and to me?" he asked icily.
"Sorry," he growled and sulkily stalked away. The kits and Barkstar watched him walk away until Barkstar startled everyone by saying "I'm so sorry, Leafkit and Duskkit. The only thing I can say right now is how sorry I am." Leafkit looked surprised.
"Why Barkstar? There is nothing to be sorry for."
"What do you know? You're just a kit!" he snapped. Then he breathed in slowly and said, "I'm sorry. I am just so worried about what might happen. I may be no medicine cat, but I know that this would be fated since your birth. Unless….."
Hope you liked that little first chapter! Now back to Sunny!
