C H A P T E R 1
A small light brown kit lifted her head and pricked up her small ears. It had been two days since her and her brother, Wildkit, had been born. As soon as the two of them had been born they had been visited by nearly the whole clan. Despite their father being so busy and having so much to do he had stayed with them for the longest time. The small kit now took in the scents as her mother's flank rose and fell next to her.
Bramblekit opened her light violet eyes for the first time and looked around the nursery. It was bigger then she thought. At the moment there was one queen in the nursery besides her mother. She was a Blue-grey tabby queen called Bluestripe. Bluestripe had two kits at the moment that were the same age as Bramblekit and Wildkit. Bramblekit saw them asleep, snuggled into Bluestripe's long warm coat.
Bramblekit turned back to her brother and prodded him with one of her white paws. His black, fluffy pelt shook slightly as he sighed. "Wake up Lazybones. It'll be weeks before you join the elders." Bramblekit hissed teasingly into his ear. Wildkit raised his head sleepily and glared at his sister with dark blue eyes.
"Bramblekit you mouse-brain. Why'd Y-"
He began but stopped when he saw her pale violet eyes shining mischievously at him. He suddenly leapt up, all signs of tiredness gone.
"Alright! It's about time you opened up to the world!"
He squealed in excitement. Bluestripe lifted her head and looked over at the two kits.
"Explain to me how I'm meant to sleep with you two squealing like a couple of love struck she-cats?"
She purred. Bramblekit looked over at her and hung her head.
"I'm sorry Bluestripe. I forgot you were in here" She meowed respectfully. Bluestripe's pelt rippled with laughter. Brownstripe purred next to her kits.
"Kits stop ruffling Bluestripe's fur and go explore the camp," She laughed. Bramblekit grinned and ran out of the nursery. She breathed deeply and stood in front of the doorway, taking in the sights.
She then squealed in surprise as Wildkit bowled her over.
"Jeez you make a good door" He laughed and attacked her. Bramblekit pushed him off.
"We'll play later. Come on I wanna look around"
Bramblekit padded out when she looked over at the apprentice den and saw a she-cat that looked exactly like Bluestripe.
"Hey Wildkit look who it is!" Bramblekit purred, pointing to the she-cat with her tail. Wildkit grinned.
"Hey it's Rockkit!" He called, loud enough for the apprentice to hear. The she-cat turned around with a laugh and trotted towards them.
"Wildkit that was my old name. I'm Rockpaw now"
She laughed. Her brown stripes shook in laughter. Bramblekit knocked her brother over.
"Wildkit you are so rude!" She spat angrily. Rockpaw laughed. "Relax Bramblekit. You weren't there when I had my naming ceremony so how were you to know?" She turned her head towards two warriors, Tigerhead and Icemask. "Look I better go. Them two lovebirds were meant to take me and Mangopaw out for training but it looks like they've forgot." She flicked her tail in a farewell and raced off. Bramblekit laughed. She spent quite a while just wondering around with Wildkit. It was Sunhigh when they headed towards the Leader's den. Wildkit looked at it in surprise.
"Bramblekit whose den is this?" He asked his sister. Bramblekit scented the air. "Dad's!"
Snowstar nodded to his deputy Rosepelt as she flicked her tail in understanding.
"Ok Snowstar, I'll take a patrol and have a look" She said. She turned around to go and noticed two kits entering the leader's den. She knew from the scent that they were Snowstar's kits. She flicked her tail to tell Snowstar. Snowstar lowered his gaze to his two kits. With a grin he nodded to Rosepelt.
"I think I'll be safe with my kits, Go put the queens' minds at rest" He laughed and turned to the kits as Rosepelt left.
Bramblekit purred and rubbed against Snowstar's leg. He purred in reply and licked her head. Wildkit attacked Snowstar's tail and Snowstar bowled him over gently.
"I didn't expect you two out so soon," He purred softly. Bramblekit raised her gaze to her father.
"We wanted to explore the camp." She answered for her brother and herself. Brownstripe's surprised and worried yowl filled the air. Snowstar looked down at his kits.
"How long have you guys been away from your mother?"
He meowed in concern. Bramblekit thought for a minute.
"Quite a while" She replied after a bit of thought. "We got caught up chatting to Rockpaw and looking around that we mustn't have realised the time." She looked towards the entrance as Brownstripe called out again. Snowstar shook his head.
"Come. There have been scents of arctic foxes lately now that the weather is getting cooler. You kits aren't safe to be away from your mother too long"
He meowed gently and picked up Bramblekit. He felt the shivers running through her tiny body. "And you will freeze if you aren't in the warm den." He added as he padded out with Wildkit by his side.
Brownstripe hardly noticed Bluestripe licking her ears reassuringly. "What if one of the arctic foxes gets them. Or if they go out of camp and freeze to death" She meowed upsetly. Bluestripe continued to rasp her tongue over the older queen's ear.
"I'm sure they've just gone to explore some part of the camp that is heavily scented. Even so, all the warriors and apprentices are looking out for them. We'll find them no matter what it takes." She said softly as Brownstripe lifted her head. Snow was falling fast and steadily as the two queens sat waiting. Bluestripe curled her tail over her two kits, Mistkit and Snowkit.
Snowstar padded over to his mate and put Bramblekit down in front of her. Wildkit leapt at his sister and the two tumbled around playing at their parents' paws. Snowstar lifted his gaze off his kits and onto his mate.
"Brownstripe they were in my den. They came to see me after they'd seen the rest of the camp. There is no more need to worry they're safe and healthy, if a little cold. They'll soon be used to the cold weather and you won't have to worry about that anymore" He paused and pressed his muzzle into her pelt. Brownstripe purred her thanks.
"Thank you Snowstar. I'll get them into the nursery straight away" She purred and picked up the two kits. She brushed past him as she padded into the nursery, stopping to rub her cheek against him. Bluestripe nudged her two kits to follow.
"Snowstar I don't believe there is anything else you can do that could make her happy" Bluestripe purred as she flicked him with her tail before following her kits.
Don't forget to let me know what you thought. Hope you liked it XD
