Chapter One
Skykit woke up from her nap. Late afternoon sunlight filtered through the entrance to the nursery. She blinked, and then looked around. Her mother, Applefur was napping peacefully. Skykit watched her mother's mottled brown flank fall and rise. Her sister, Cloverkit was napping too. Cloverkit's fur was silvery, with stripes and the tips of her ears were white. Skykit looked at her own fur. It was brown and ginger. Applefur had called it 'tortoiseshell'. She saw Squirrelpelt, the dark ginger she-cat trying to entertain her three kits whose names are Robinkit, Oakkit, and Crowkit. She didn't feel sleepy, but she curled up against Silverkit's soft pelt. Her sister mewled in annoyance and snuggled close to Applefur when Skykit leaned on her.
She kept her eyes open, and watched Squirrelpelt lead her three kits out of the nursery. Sliverflight was sleeping too, but with one paw on her outstretched belly. Skykit, Cloverkit and the other kits like to play games with Sliverflight. Skykit wanted to go outside, but she couldn't because Applefur wouldn't let her go by herself. She sat down and wrapped her tail around her legs. She gazed longingly out the nursery entrance and wished she could go. Cloverkit began to stir and wiggle.
"Psss... Cloverkit!" Skykit said, prodding her sister with her paw.
"What!?" Cloverkit muttered.
"Get up! Let's go outside and see the camp." Skykit whispered. She poked her again.
"Ow! What was that for?" Cloverkit said. Uh oh. Skykit must've poked Cloverkit too hard.
"What are we doing again?'' Silverkit asked her.
"Let's go outside and see the camp." Skykit crept towards the entrance.
"Okay. Just a second." Cloverkit stretched and followed her sister. Skykit felt a soft paw clamp on her tail. She and Cloverkit froze.
"Where are you two going?" Applefur asked them, her bright green eyes watching and her head tilted to the side.
"We're going to surprise Oakkit, Robinkit and Crowkit!" Skykit answered mischievously. Cloverkit nodded.
"Okay. But don't get into any trouble." Applefur told them. Skykit remembered when she and Cloverkit fell into the fresh-kill pile when they were only two moons old. They accidently ruined a few pieces of fresh-kill and were embarrassed in front of the whole Clan. Skykit's cheeks burned when she thought of that memory.
Skykit and Cloverkit scampered outside. They crept behind a bush and watched as Oakkit, Robinkit and Crowkit played moss-ball. Squirrelpelt and Apple fur were laying outside on a sunny rock sharing fresh-kill.
"Are you ready?' Skykit whispered to her sister. She nodded, and then Skykit said, "On three, jump on them. Okay? One, two, three!"
Silverkit and Skykit exploded from the bush and leaped onto them. Skykit had landed on Oakkit, and she felt him squirm under her. She pinned him down gently with sheathed paws and shouted, "I am a fearless warrior of SkyClan! I have invaded the camp of LeafClan and captured one of their warriors!"
Oakkit began to moan and say, "Oh no! The SkyClan warrior has gotten me! Help me!" Sky kit began to drag Oakkit behind the bush. "Help meeeeeee!" Oakkit kept on saying. As Skykit sat him down she said, "Now, you need to stay here at my camp and wait until Crow kit or Robinkit comes to rescue you."
Just then, Skykit heard the pounding of paws and a few seconds later, Crowkit appeared and shouted, " I'm coming Oakkit! I'm going to rescue you!"
Crowkit went behind the bush and 'dragged' Oakkit away from the bush. Cloverkit was tussling on the ground with Robinkit. Now, it was Crowkit's and Oakkit's turn to 'capture' her. This game the kits were playing was really fun, and they kept switching places. By the time all the patrols returned and everyone had eaten, Skykit was very tired. Her tail was drooping with exhaustion, and all she wanted to do was go to her nest.
She padded over to the nursery and entered. Applefur, Cloverkit, Squirrelpelt and her kits were already inside the nursery. She went over to Applefur and Cloverkit, and then settled in. She yawned. Then fell asleep, wondering what tomorrow would bring.
