Chapter 2

Troublemakers!

It was dawn of the next day and Swishkit was feeling out of sorts. He knew that he was a bad secret keeper and that Clearkit would probably find out the truth soon. Sooner then he thought. Sooner then StarClan willed. He knew it himself. Swishkit was a terrible secret keeper and every cat knew that so why had StarClan chosen him?

"Come play with me!" wailed Clearkit padding up to Swishkit. "You're never any fun and maybe we can change that now. Why don't we play together."

Swishkit knew that he was boring but he didn't mind. He wanted to be as far away from Clearkit as possible but he remembered Crowfur and Cherrystemtelling him not to act abnormal. Just to go with what was happening. He was to prentend that there was no dream at all and play with her.

"Of course, Clearkit," he purred. "How about we follow Sandcloud, Dustfeather, and Dirtfur on their border patrol. Maybe we could learn how to hunt and come back with prey!"

"But kits aren't allowed out of camp," Clearkit meowed and she looked worried. "Are you sure? We could get in big trouble."

"Stop acting that way! You know that you want to come." Swishkit wrapped his tail gently over her shoulders. It would be fun. They wouldn't even know that we would there if we hid properly."

"Alright."

"Great! Let's go now."

"Have they left yet?"

"I think so." Swishkit looked around camp but he stopped Sandcloud padding out of the warrior's den and heading towards the camp enterance.

"Probably not," meowed Clearkit answering her own question. "Let's sneak behind the warrior's den. We'll be able to catch them that way when they're leaving."

Clearkit raced off and Swishkit chased after her.

"Be careful!" Swishkit heard Willowtail call. "Don't get into trouble."

As the two kits hid behind the warrior's den for some time Swishkit twitched his tail. Clearkit gently put his tail up to his mouth and Swishkit shoved her away making a racket.

"They'll here us!" cried Clearkit quietly. "Quick. Let's go around this way and we'll end up at the camp enterance quicker."

"Sorry about that," whispered Swishkit urgently as they slipped out of the way and towards the enterance.

At the camp enterance Sandcloud was standing with Dustfeather as Dirtfur appeared. "Sorry I took such a long time," he mewed. "I forgot that we were going on patrol. I woke up early this morning but then I fell back asleep. If Tigerstripe hadn't accidently rolled over onto me in his sleep I would still be sleeping right now."

"Come on, then," meowed Dustfeather. "Before IceClan is breaking onto our territory. I know one thing for sure. They're not afraid to hurt us. They're a strong clan and they don't like it when clans make fun of them for sleeping out since they're the clan of ice. They're not afraid of it during leaf-bare. That's why they like being so close to the Mooncave so that they can easily share tongues with StarClan."

"It sometimes makes me jealous," Swishkit heard Sandcloud meow. "They don't have to trespasson another clans territory and get in trouble. They can go to the Mooncave freely whenever they wish."

"Excuse me, but are you two going to stand there chatting forever?" demanded Dirtfur. "We don't have all day and we're already a little bit behind schedule. IceClan probably has already gone slightly over our border during the time that we're wasting."

"Sorry." Dustfeather scooted along after Dirtfur and Sandcloud padded after him.

As soon as Sandcloud'stail disappeared behind the fern tunnel Swishkit peaked out and asked, "Do you think that it's okay to go now?"

Clearkit nodded and the two cats slipped outside of camp when no cat was looking. "We were lucky." Clearkit sounded scared. "Any cat could have caught us coming in or out. Now let's go before any cat sees us."

"Well, I'd rather get caught here then farther away. We could tell them that we went the wrong way." Swishkit knew that he didn't sound convincing as Clearkit raced ahead to follow the cats.

"Your paws are going to get sore if you run," Swishkit called out and Clearkit slowed down.

"But we'll lose sight of them," she argued.

"Then you can get left behind and I'll have an adventure," meowed Swishkit happily scampering along as fast as he dared so that his paws wouldn't get sore.

The two kits followed the scent trail a long way until they were both tired. Clearkit looked asleep on her paws and Swishkit was pattering along quite slowly. As the two kits hid behind a tree to watch them Swishkit looked in awe at the cats.

"I'll set the first marker," meowed Dirtfur. "You two run ahead and do the farther ones. I"ll catch up."

Dustfeather and Sandcloud padded away while Swishkit and Clearkit watched Dirtfur set the markers that were farther behind. As Swishkit watched his paws began to feel not as sore anymore and he raced along behind Dirtfur.

"I'm here," meowed Dirtfur. "It didn't take long and there was nothing suspicious going around along the border. We're lucky that IceClan didn't dare trespass but they're scent markers didn't smell fresh. I wouldn't be surprised if I easily crossed their border by mistake. They're lucky that our border is fresh and newly marked."

"Now it's the HailClan border," meowed Dustfeather. "I'm quite glad that we're not bordering SnowClan. That would be all the clans. We're lucky that we live at the edge of the forest where cats can't come in so quickly. The only problem is having Twolegplace so close to us. Except poor HailClan is bordering all of the clans. They unfortunately just got a tweak of IceClan on their territory. Well now, let's go."

"I smell something," meowed Sandcloud suddenly. "It's something funny. It reminds me of Willowtail and Darkstar but what would the two of them be doing out there. Darkstar rarely leaves camp and Willowtail should be in camp with her kits."

"No! It's two of them," shrieked Dirtfur. "It's Clearkit and Swishkit but what would they be doing so far away from camp."

Swishkit shriveled behind a tree and dragged Clearkit behind it.

"It's them! What are they doing here?" demanded Dustfeather. "How could we have let them track us this far? And how could any cat let them leave camp unnoticed?"

Swishkit let out a wail loud enough for every cat to hear as Sandcloud came close to their tree. Swishkit raced back retaking his steps not caring if any cat found him along the way. He heard Clearkit's pawsteps behind him as he dodged a deep hole in the ground which was where some of the cats trained. Swishkit heard a scream from behind and he turned around and saw Clearkit lying motionless in the hole...

The story may be sort of weird so far for some people but I hope you like it. :D
