Tigerkit felt a sharp prodding at her side "Wake up you lazy fur-ball!" Lionkit mewed. Her ears pricked and her emerald green eyes flashed, before he could react Lionkit was pinned down .
"Who you calling a lazy-furball now?!" She snarled playfully.
The sound of a cracking twig made them both jump and scurry back into the safety of the nursery. They both peered wide eyed at the entrance and sighed in relief as they realized it was the dawn patrol. They both jumped as Sparrowkit and Gingerkit rushed out of the nursery the greet their father.
"Boulderclaw! Daddy! Did you bring a leaf? A Piece of bark?" Gingerkit squeaked, instead, he held out a small pine cone licked her head lovingly then padded away. Sparrowkit picked it up in his mouth and ran to Foxtooth, "Look what Boulderclaw gave us!" he squeaked and held out the small pine cone she smiled and licked their ears "Go play, just don't stray too far." she whispered.
A pang of jealousy hit Tigerkit and she turned to Lionkit, he seemed happy but she could see the little glint in his eyes that showed his real feelings.
"Look at it, it's so detailed and brown!" Gingerkit bragged
"No duh, spoiled mouse-brain" she thought.
"Let's play!" Sparrowkit mewed.
"Nahh i'm a bit tired from fighting with Lionkit" she managed to get out without gritting her teeth, again she turned to Lionkit and he simply nodded.
"You're just JELLY you don't have a father and your mother doesn't care about you" she sneerd
"You have never felt pain, or sadness so you will never understand, go and brag to every cat your father is the deputy!." Tigerkit roared.
Sparrowkit gazed at his paws, but Gingerkit simply smiled. She padded to her mother slowly and her ears drooped "Mommy,mommy! Tigerkit called me a mouse-brain and hit meeee!" She wailed mockingly.
Foxtooth awoke and snarled at the two "bullies" and swept her tail so her kits would be closer to her. Gingerkit simply smiled and turned her to her mom.
"I've been listening, go outside I need a talk with Foxtooth." Silverspot mewed gently, at her voice Gingerkit looked up in fear. Lionkit and Tigerkitcouldn't help but give a big grin.
Outside they could hear the two she-cat's voices. Lionkit turend his head as he realized it was almost sunhigh. He sighed, " Do you even like those guys?" He asked " I really don't mind Sparrowkit but Gingerkit is -uhg, unbearable!" she growled...
