"No, I won't help you!"
"Then keep running, you dumb kit." the voice said to me as I tried to look around for someone to help me. but I couldn't see anything.
"Got to run,got to run, got to run!" I said to myself as I tried to make myself run faster, but I was getting tired, I could feel it."I'm not going to make it!" I thought...until.
"Foxkit, Foxkit!" somebody opened her eyes and looked around. All she saw were the nursery walls and Snowkit looking at her.
It was all just a dream, thank Starclan.
"Foxkit, pay attention to me, darn it" Snowkit spat as her loud yowl brought Foxkit back from her thoughts. Foxkit looked up at her denmate. She didn't look any different since her white fur and green eyes were flawless, so she says.
"You've been keeping me up all night with your sleep panicking." Snowkit said as she lashed her tail.
"I'm sorry, Snow.I had a nightmare." Foxkit stated, trying to calm Snowkit down.
"This isn't the day to have nightmares-" Snowkit started
"-or be cranky?" Foxkit interrupted,purring as Snowkit glared at her, clearly annoyed.
"Whatever, the point is that today is initiation for us." Snowkit finished.
"As if I could forget." Foxkit said as she stood up and stretched.
"Then move your lazy tabby butt and lets go." Snowkit said as she spun around and ran out of the nursery.
"Hey, wait up!" Foxkit yowled as she ran after Snowkit and into the clearing. The sun was shining through the trees and making shadows on the dew covered grass. As Foxkit breathed in the scents around her, it became obvious that the dawn patrol has already left. The only other cats in the clearing were Snowkit and Darkstripe who was guarding the entrance.
"You coming." Snowkit said from over by the apprentice's den, trying to peer in.
"Be quiet, you mousebrain or do you want Darkstripe to rip your pelt off." Foxkit whispered as she sneaked up to Snowkit and stood beside her, staring at the apprentice's den. The apprentice's den was mainly under a tree stump lined with ferns, but now some of the ferns were scattered due to Snowkit.
"He wouldn't do that. He's a softy on the inside." Snowkit said as she tried to sneak into the apprentice's den. I sat outside and watched. The last thing I wanted to do today was get n trouble. I spun around and looked back at Darkstipe. He hadn't moved from his spot.
How does he not hear all the noise Snowkit is making?I turned back around to keep an eye on Snowkit. All I could see was the tip of her tail.
Well all be darn, she might actually make it.Suddenly, I had a bad feeling that someone was watching me. I spun around to see who it was and there standing behind me was Darkstripe and he didn't look happy.
"What's going on here?" he asked me. I tried to look into his amber eyes, but all I could see was his gray and black tabby striped fur."
Uhh..." Foxkit mumbled "It was Snowkit's idea,Darkstripe,she started it." Foxkit said as she tried to pin the blame on Snowkit but Darkstripe's stare soon told her that he wasn't buying it.
"Way to rat me out, Foxkit." Snowkit spat as she poked her head out the den, glaring angrily at Foxkit. Foxkit tried to back up and away from Snowkit, but Darkstripe's tail stopped her.
"Get out of there, Snowkit, you're not an apprentice yet." Darkstripe said. Snowkit did as told and came out of the apprentice's den.
"Sorry" Snowkit said as she ran off back to the nursery.
"Keep an eye on your troublesome friend, will ya." Darkstripe said as he walked back to his place in front of the entrance, still acting grumpy.
"I'll try." I said to him as I walked back to the nursery only to find Snowkit sitting at the entrance with her head down, almost looking ashamed.
Well that's a new one. Never thought I'd see the day when Snowkit is ACTUALLY ashamed of something she did.
"See," Snowkit said suddenly as her head bobbed back up, suddenly brightening up. It was almost like her feeling of guilt was never there. " I told you he wouldn't rip our pelts off."
Point taken, I knew she wasn't ashamed.
"Ours?' " Foxkit repeated, "Don't you mean yours, after all, I didn't do anything wrong, remember." Foxkit finished as she walked over to Snowkit.
"Whatever." Snowkit said as we walked back into the nursery, "Now, If you don't mind, I'm going to get more sleep before the initiation. Don't wake me up with your nightmares!"As she finished speaking, she dropped down by her mother,Icepelt , soon fast asleep.
I soon did the same as I sat down by my mother, Dawnflower.
"Well, she woke me up." Foxkit mumbled to herself before curling up against Dawnflower.
"And honestly, I hope I don't wake her up." Foxkit said as she soon fell into a deep sleep despite the sun coming in through the nursery walls.
Me: Hi, hope you enjoyed the official first chapter. The italics are Foxkit's thoughts. Sorry that I kept changing from Foxkit's point of view to third person's point of view. If it annoyes you, let me know please. It was an accident, but I still think it came out well. I own nothing but my OC's Foxkit, Snowkit, Icepelt and Dawnflower. Everything else belongs to Erin Hunter. In the next chapter, the initiation finally starts, until "Someone" unexpectadely shows up. And one more thing, this takes place during "Into the Wild". Bye and don't forget to review
