Wolfkit
It had been three moons since Graystar first showed us the camp. Birdkit and Sunkit had become Birdpaw and Sunpaw. Skykit had been spending lots of time helping Splodgepelt in the medicine den. Me and Redkit had been playing outside.
"What are you going to do today?" Frostpelt asked us.
"Hey let's go talk to the Elders," I suggested.
"That's a great idea," Redkit said.
"I was going to help Splodgepelt though," Skykit said quietly.
"Come on, have some fun for a change," Frostpelt instructed.
"Ok, I'll come," Skykit said.
"Race you to the Elders den," I said, running towards the entrance to the nursery, with Redkit and Skykit. I bolted for the Elders den. I glanced beside me, Skykit was coming second, with Redkit running behind. I was coming first!I sped into the Elders den.
"I thought we were being attacked by the whole of LionClan," Berryfur exclaimed, as we ran in.
There were two Elders, Berryfur and Mapleleaf. Berryfur was a white she cat with a very pink nose and tongue. Berryfur was Frostpelt's mother. She was lots of fun to talk to.
Mapleleaf was Berryfur's brother. He was a golden cat with dark brown spots all over him. He was usually short tempered and cranky but today he was sleeping in the sun.
"Can you tell us a story?" I asked.
"Which story would you like to hear?" Berryfur asked.
"We don't mind," Redkit said.
Berryfur thought for a while. "Many moons ago, there lived a big cat named Goldentail," she began. "He lived in LionClan. In Goldentail's time there were two other Clans, LeopardClan and TigerClan. LeopardClan was fast and flexible. TigerClan was good at swimming and staying in the shadows. One leaf bare, prey was scarce, so LeopardClan and TigerClan joined together and chased LionClan out of the forest."
"Why did they chase them away?" Skykit interrupted, shocked.
"No one knows," Berryfur continued. "But LionClan was never seen again."
"That's awful," Redkit exclaimed. "Imagine what could have happened out there! They could have starved or frozen!"
"It's believed they were captured by Twolegs," Mapleleaf called over, from his spot in the sun.
"You kits had better run along now," Berryfur said.
"Tell us another story. Please?" I complained.
"Another day," Berryfur answered and lay next to her brother in the sun.
We all walked out of the Elders den. "Now what are we going to do?" I asked.
"Maybe we could go visit Grasspaw," Redkit suggested.
My pelt grew warm at that suggestion. Grasspaw had been spending a lot of time with us lately so I had gotten to know him pretty well. He hadn't fully recovered from his fox attack. He had been confined to camp for the past few moons.
"Sounds like a good idea," I said.
"To you," Skykit whispered to Redkit.
"Hey I heard that," I said.
Redkit and Skykit had guessed at my feelings for Grasspaw. They were quite right.
"What is going on over here?" Graystar asked us, as he walked over.
"Nothing," I said quickly, before Redkit or Skykit could say anything about Grasspaw.
"What have you done today?" Graystar asked.
"We went and talked to the Elders," Redkit said.
"What did they tell you about?" Graystar inquired.
"How LeopardClan and TigerClan chased LionClan out of the forest," I explained.
"LionClan was never seen again," Skykit added.
Graystar looked at us sharply. He ran to the nursery and came out with Frostpelt at his side.
"We are going for a walk," Graystar said. "We won't be gone long."
"Behave yourselves," Frostpelt added.
"What could this be about?" I asked, after Graystar and Frostpelt had left camp.
"Grasspaw," Redkit said.
"Shut up, mouse brain," I said angrily. "What if he hears?"
"What if I hear what?" Grasspaw said, coming over.
"Nothing," I said, shooting a glance at Redkit.
"So what have you done today?" Grasspaw asked. I explained how we had talked to the Elders about LionClan and Graystar had left camp with Frostpelt. "I have no idea, what this could be about," Grasspaw said, shaking his golden head.
Soon Graystar and Frostpelt arrived back at camp.
"What happened?" I asked, as they approached. Frostpelt headed towards the fresh kill pile.
"We'll tell you when you're ready," Graystar said.
"Come on kits. Say good bye to Grasspaw," Frostpelt said, coming over with a mouse in her jaws.
"Bye Grasspaw," I said.
"Bye Grasspaw," Redkit and Skykit chirped.
"Bye kits," Grasspaw said.
We followed Frostpelt into the nursery. She lay the mouse down. "Would you like some?" she asked.
"Yes please," we squealed, jumping on the mouse.
I took a mouthful. It was delicious! I gulped down as much as I possibly could. When Skykit, Redkit and I were done eating, Frostpelt ate the leftovers.
We curled up together. "Good night Frostpelt," I whispered. She licked my pelt until I was asleep.
Hawktalon here,
I need more suggestions for cats. Anyone have any? PLEASE.
Anyway, I hope you're enjoying it.
Tell me what you think. Please Review!
