A/N- So I only got one follower from the prologue. That's okay the prologues boring I just needed to add it. Anyway here's the 1st real chapter of the story.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXx
"Thunderclan warriors, attack!"
Tinykit burst out of the nursery with his littermates, Mintkit and Bluekit, scurrying after him. Mintkit was clawing at a pinecone, "Guys I found a Windclan warrior come help me chase him off!"
Bluekit squeaked and stared chasing the pinecone around the camp. "Flea-pelts get off our territory!"
Tinykit stopped chasing the pinecone and sat up, "I have a better idea!" he fluffed up his fur in excitement. "Okay you two are Thunderclan and Snowykit and I will be Shadowclan. We're invading your camp." He paused looking around. "Where's Snowykit?"
"Even if we did find her you know she wouldn't play with us." Mintkit meowed.
"I know but we should still find her and ask. We need even teams!" He wailed, "Let's go check in the nursery,"
Bluekit nodded and took off running towards the nursery. "Wait!" Mintkit huffed charging after her, "You know I can't run as fast as you guys!"
"Oof," Bluekit breathed as she collided with Lilyshine. "Have you seen Snowykit?" she asked after gaining her balance again.
"I thought she was with you!" Lilyshine fretted, her fur bristling.
All three kits looked at each other. "Um well she is we're just playing hide and seek." Tinykit said quickly, "We'll find her!"
Tinykit charged out of the nursery as quickly as he could, the other kits followed. He paused outside of the entrance and sniffed at the ground. "I can smell her trail!" Tinykit looked back at his littermates, "Help me follow her!" he said bounding off with his nose to the ground. When the smell lead them through the tunnel he paused, "She's left the camp. We'll have to leave camp to find her,"
Mintkit nodded, digging his claws into the ground in excitement while Bluekit glanced around the camp nervously.
"We'll be fine as long as I'm leading," Tinykit added to Bluekit, "Don't worry; we'll be back before anyone notices we're gone." Bluekit nodded, bounding after Tinykit as he took off running through the forest. "I'll lead us to her! I'll be the best tracker in the clan!" Tinykit huffed, following her trail. "No I will!" Mintkit squeaked charging ahead of Tinykit.
"Would you two stop that? I want to find Snowykit before we get in trouble!" Bluekit said bounding ahead of both of them. "So I'm going to lead."
Mintkit and Tinykit didn't argue, just looked at each other and fell in behind Bluekit. The sun was setting by the time they came to a stop.
"Her trail ends here." Bluekit said sniffing at the ground in confusion.
"No it doesn't," Tinykit protested. "I can still smell her. But barely over the reek of fox." He added scrunching up his tiny nose. Bluekit sniffed at the ground again. "I can't smell her at all." She said taking a step back, "You lead then."
Tinykit's tail stuck straight up in the air in delight. They walked for awhile longer before Tinykit suddenly halted, his fur fluffing up.
"What is it?" Bluekit whispered, her fur beginning to bristle in alarm. Tinykit didn't answer. His eyes were wide with alarm as he peered out from behind the rock. Bluekit copied him and stuck her head out to see what had startled him. She felt Mintkit slide in beside her. Bluekit suppressed a shiver when she saw. In the middle of the clearing was Snowykit. But she wasn't by herself. Beside her was a tiny fox kit. And she was talking to it. "No, Bluekit come back!" Tinykit said as Bluekit slipped out from behind the rock and bounded up to confront Snowykit. The fox sitting in front of her was a little bigger than Snowykit. Its ear's and paws were tipped with black. And the rest of its body was mostly red except for where its tail was tipped with white. And it was fluffy, really fluffy. Bluekit guessed it was its baby fur still but it was so fluffy Bluekit wondered how it could see. Snowykit's back was to Bluekit as she walked up. She was perfectly at ease with a fox kit sitting beside her. She even looked like she was enjoying herself. "What are you doing?" Bluekit said making Snowykit jump and spin around. Her fur was fluffed up in defense and her eyes wide. "Nothing." She said quickly.
Bluekit was aware or her littermates padding up to her side, "You call that nothing?" she said pointing her tail at the fox. "What were you thinking? Why do I always have to be the responsible one?"
Snowykit narrowed her eyes. "I found this fox out here by himself. His mother was dead, so I helped him burry her." She paused; eyeing Bluekit, "I was being responsible."
"Leaving camp to come visit a fox? Because that's so responsible." Bluekit said rolling her eyes. "And were you talking to it?"
Snowykit's eyes were narrowed into slits. "Yes, I've learned how to communicate with him. Then I taught him how to speak cat."
Bluekit's fur was bristling, "What! Why?"
"He was going to die without a mother. I've been taking care of him. I wasn't just going to leave him to die." Snowykit said casting a glance at her littermates. "Unlike you guys, you would've let him die!"
"Because it's against the warrior code!" Bluekit spat, curling her lip.
"Bluekit! Calm down!" Mintkit said, "It's not that big of a deal." Bluekit looked around at her littermates. They all seemed ready to accept the problem.
"All right." Bluekit said her fur lying flat. "I'll be more reasonable now."
"How long have you been visiting the fox?" Tinykit asked approaching the small fox slowly. The fox made a whining sound and slid away.
"Don't get too close." Snowykit warned. "You're scaring him. He's not used to so many cats yet. And I found him two moons ago." Tiny kit backed away some.
"Is he friendly?"
"Yes, ask him something."
"Okay!" Tinykit squeaked looking at the fox. "Hi! My name it Tinykit. What's yours?"
The fox looked uncomfortable under their gazes. "Red."
Mintkit came closer with interest. "Wow he really can talk!" Snowykit looked happier now as she twitched her whiskers in amusement. "I made this nest just outside our territory so none of our warriors would bother him." She paused, looking guilty. "Don't tell Lilyshine, but I've been sharing my freshkill with him."
They all nodded in agreement. "We'll contribute some of our food as well." Mintkit decided. "How have you been able to sneak out everyday without being caught?"
Snowykit thought for a moment before answering. "Well it took you guys this long to realize I was sneaking out. All you have to do is make sure you sneak out while Lilyshine is asleep. Oh and don't stay gone long."
They all nodded again. "I think this will work!" Tinykit said his fur fluffing up in excitement. "We might actually be able to do this."
"Red, what happened to your mother?" Bluekit asked looking at the fox.
Red got to his paws and padded over to a spot in the ground where the leaves looked disturbed. "This is where we buried her." With one black paw he patted the soft spot. "She died so suddenly I don't even know what caused it."
Bluekit bowed her head. "I don't have experience in losing a mother." She paused. "But if I did, I'd tell you you're handling it really well."
Red nodded his expression looking crushed. "You don't act like a fox." Mintkit said tipping his head to one side. "Foxes are usually so wild. How come you're not worried about being around us?"
"Maybe because you four are all I have left."
Snowykit purred silently. "You're a good friend." Bluekit was surprised Snowykit was so friendly with this fox already. Even if they've known each other for two moons.
Snowykit glanced up towards the trees. "Great Starclan, we have to go!" she looked back at red. "I'll visit you tomorrow."
"We'll come too!" Mintkit squeaked. "Yeah we wouldn't miss out on this!" Tinykit added.
Red nodded looking pleased. "See you guys tomorrow then." He retreated silently and lay down on a small nest of moss. He lifted his head to watch the kits pad away before resting it on his paws and curling his tail over his nose.
"This is so exciting!" Mintkit squeaking bouncing around on their way back to camp. "I can't wait until we go back tomorrow."
"Just remember if we're constantly sneaking out our clanmates will notice." Snowykit said. "We all can't come everyday. We'll have to split up days. I think only two of us should go once a day for a short time then switch off."
Bluekit nodded. "Yeah we can't get caught. You know our clan would kill him if they found out." She added "And I like Red. I don't want to be the reason he doesn't live a long happy life. He deserves that much." Bluekit was surprised by her own will to accept the fox so fast. It was hard not to love the little fox. He already showed that he could overcome his grief and continue on. I kind of wish he was a cat, Bluekit thought to herself. That way he'd be allowed to join the clan.
A/N- So the P.O.V.'s in this story will vary between all the kits. I hoped you liked it and leave a comment please :P
