Ferretkit leaps past the gathered cats, cats look down and smile at her as she almost trips them. she gets to the front of the crowd to see the leader, her father, on the clanrock. She watches as he makes Dapplepaw a warrior.
"Dapplewing, Dapplewing!" she chants as the new warrior runs off to speak to his new warrior friends. She runs to her father who is walking off the large, rounded boulder. She walks right beside him.
"Dad, when will I become a warrior?" she asks in her tiny voice. Her father laughs a low rumbling laugh.
"Darling, don't worry about it, it is far off" he chuckles and looks at her with proud eyes "you will be an outstanding warrior..."
Ferret kit was bored, she absolutely hated being bored. She sought out danger, it was fun, and not boring! She made sure her mother was sleeping, and then she snuck past her. Ferretkit walks past the guard who was asleep. She pads through the lonely nighttime forest. Fireflies scatter the dark sky. Ferretkit tries to catch them in her paws, she sneezes as a firefly lands on her nose. Ferretkit walks through the aura of light, shining from the fireflies. She smiles, to her the fireflies resemble the magic of the wilderness. She didn't go far, but she was so entranced and she felt alone, no one for miles.
She carries on, wondering why the clan would shelter kits from this beautiful world, suddenly she heard a blood curdling screech. It was coming from camp. She ran as fast as she could into camp, from a distance all she saw was a flailing body being dragged by a huge badger. all she thought was MOTHER!
