CHAPTER 2

Honeykit's POV

I watched as a fiery orange gold tail flicked past me. I crouched down and sneaked, one paw at a time...

"GOTCHA!" I squeaked pouncing on the tail in triumph. I nipped at it and batted it around playfully. Duskkit came over and pounced on a paw, fast as lightning.

"Yes! See how good I am at sneaking!" He boasted. The cat groaned, and turned over. It was our mom, Sunbreeze. "Kits, go play somewhere else. I need some sleep."

"Warriors never sleep!" I said and leaped onto her back, clambering onto her neck. "Come on mum! You're a warrior right?" she curled up, tipping me off. I huffed and nudged my sister, Moonkit, who was lazily batting at a small piece of moss. She squeaked in annoyance and said "Whaaaaatttttt?" I snorted and swiped a paw out, catching the moss and grabbing it in my mouth. "Hey! I found it first!" Moonkit said in an angry voice, but her white eyes twinkled playfully. Well, her eyes are really just an extremely pale blue, but at times, it gleams a ghostly white. Duskkit had warm amber eyes, which shone golden at times. My eyes were dark green, which was why green is my favorite color.

"Catch me if you can!" I said, scooped up the moss in my mouth and scampered away. Little pawsteps told me she was giving chase. "I'm catching up!" she said, and I willed myself to go faster, whipping by the nests. Suddenly, another bundle of fur crashed into me, making the moss fly out of my mouth. Duskkit rushed by and picked it up, yowling in triumph. I purred and ran after him. Even though he was bigger than me (which is strange because he was born last), his legs weren't as long, and I got close enough to jump onto his back, pinning him down. Duskkit spit the moss at of his mouth."Hah! All bow down to Honeystar, leader of MossClan, the best Clan in the world!" I said, picking up the moss and sitting up proudly on Duskkit.

He squeezed out from under me and said "Then I'm Duskleap, deputy of MossClan!" Moonkit came over and squeaked "Well I'm Moonshine, medicine cat of MossClan!" I purred and replied "Moonshine, you need to take on an apprentice!" As soon as I said that, another kit came over. He had a pale brown pelt and golden eyes. Gleamingstar hadn't named us yet, but I like to call him Dustkit. He was the only kit of Whitefeather, and he was only 3 moons old."Hey I want to play!" he said. "Can I be the medicine cat apprentice?" I nodded, and he padded over to Moonkit.

The other two kits in the nursery who were half a moon older than us. They were batting at a raven feather. One of them had a mottled black and dark brown pelt and green eyes. I called him Murkykit, although he doesn't like it. Murkykit looked up with a friendly challenge in his eyes. "Well, we're FeatherClan, the actual best clan ever! I am Murkystar!" He picked up the feather in his teeth. His brother (whom I call Nightkit) was pure black with a white ring around his front left leg. He had piercing blue eyes. "And I am his loyal deputy, Nightflame!" I purred at their challenge.

"As leader of MossClan, we need to defend our borders from FeatherClan! ATTACK!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. We leaped at each other, pummeling fur with soft paws and screeching in mock pain. I faced off against Murkykit, dodging his clumsy attacks and swiping with sheathed claws. He suddenly dived at me, knocking me off my paws. "Surrender!" he said. I purred and said "Never!" I spun onto my paws, knocking him off. Shaking my pelt, I leaped.

I wasn't sure how long it was, but suddenly, there was a commotion outside. We stopped fighting and stared at the leafy curtain covering the entrance outside. Suddenly, there was screeches and the sound of fighting cats. I widened my eyes. "What's goin-"

The leaves exploded and 2 big unfamiliar cats rushed the nursery. I heard a yelp of pain and twisted around to see a scarred dark yellow tom swipe at my sister, knocking her down. "HEY!" I ran forward but suddenly I was whisked into the air. I yowled and twisted around, seeing a ginger pelt with white spots and cruel yellow eyes. I scratched the she-cat's face, swiping my claws in a wide arc. She dropped me with a pained yell, her muzzle pouring out blood from 4 bright scratches. She snarled at me, her ears pulled back and her sharp teeth bared. I whimpered and backed away. Duskkit was trying to distract the other cat, who kept swiping but missed.

Suddenly, two cats came in, their eyes blazing with fury. With immense relief, I saw my mother and the other queen, Whitefeather. They fought the two cats back, yowling with anger. Eventually, both of them turned tail and ran out. I noticed that my sister was still laying down, breathing heavily. "Moonkit? Are you ok?" She looked up with scared eyes. "I- I'm fine. I was just freaked out, is all." I sniffed all over her, searching for any injuries. There it was, four angry red claw marks across her pelt, bleeding freely.

"Moonkit!" I said in panic. "We have to get you to the medicine den!" She lifted her head up weakly and said in a shaky but brave voice "I'll- I'll be fine. At least you're ok. You really did something to that cat." Whitefeather saw Moonkit's injury and immediately picked her up and rushed to the den. For once, Moonkit didn't complain about being carried around (she was the first born, so she wants to be the strongest out of us).

As I watched them go through, Moonkit's words came back to me. How did I manage to claw that hard? I lifted one of my paws and stared at it. The little claws peeked out of the fur, small and dull, definitely not sharp enough to cause such deep scratches. It's nothing. I thought firmly.

Murkykit was comforting his brother, who looked as if he saw the ghost of Tigerstar. Sunbreeze was licking Duskkit vigourisly, who was whining about how he was just fine.

I padded over to him when Sunbreeze checked outside for injured cats, whispering how I was able to scar the cat so deeply. He was as clueless as I was. "I don't know Honeykit. At least now I know not to ever get into a fight with you!" he purred. I felt my spirits lift up a little, but it still nagged at my mind.
