Chapter Three
Ravenkit sat up quickly, What was that sound? He thought and looked around wildly. He could have sworn that he heard something coming from outside. Maybe a paw step, or a stray mouse. Then he heard it again and he stood up.
He slowly walked out of the Nursery and looked around. He saw two starry cats walking around the clearing, in and out of the dens as if they owned the place. Ravenkit had never seen these cats before, they definitely weren't from Shadowclan.
There was a Jet black tom with grey eyes, he was large and heavily built, with his muscles rippling under his short fur. The other cat was a slender she-cat with dark grey fur and black tick marks all over her body and deep blue eyes. His first idea was to yell for help, but then he paused. What would Hailkit think if he found out that I fought off two rogue warriors single pawed? He would never doubt me ever again! Ravenkit thought excitedly.
He decided to take on the easier cat first. He stormed up to the grey she-cat and glared up at her angrily. He looked up at her and glared, his claws quickly sliding out. She looked down at him in shock. Slowly but surely the other cat made his way over to them.
"Do you think he can see us?" the she-cat asked, staring down at Ravenkit curiously.
"Of course he can, he's staring right at you!" the tom said and chuckled at her. She glared at him in annoyance and rolled her eyes. Ravenkit couldn't believe it, how dare these cats just prance in to Shadowclan camp and talk about him as if he wasn't even there?
"Stop talking about me! I can hear you, I'm not deaf." Ravenkit hissed. The she cat's face changed from a look of curiosity straight over to shock. But Ravenkit saw another emotion cross her face, she was impressed.
Ravenkit's back arched, his fur fluffed up and he hissed again, trying to look scary. "Calm down, Ravenkit. We are from Starclan. We're just coming to visit our warriors." the she cat said, her voice was like honey. Then she added, "If you can see us so easily, you might have to get used to seeing Starclan cats all the time. We visit a lot."
He froze and stared at her uncertainly. Then he bowed his head in respect to both of the Starclan cats. "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you. I thought you were rogues… May I ask what your names are? I've never seen either of you before." the kit said.
The she cat smiled warmly and said, "Sure, I'm Silkfur and this is-"
She was cut off by the tom who said, "I'm Blackwater. I was Shadowstar's third deputy." Ravenkit's eyes widened in awe and he bowed down to Blackwater. He must be a very important Starclan cat if he was the deputy of Shadowclan's first leader.
Silkfur laughed and poked Ravenkit's bowed head, "Don't worry, Ravenkit. You don't need to bow to him, you'll just give him what he wants." she said playfully. Blackwater chuckled at her but said nothing.
Ravenkit got up, embarrassed. I guess I won't be telling Hailkit about this, I doubt he'd be impressed. he decided. Silkfur smiled and said, "Well, we have to go. Maybe our paths will cross again some day, Ravenkit." With that, Silkfur cuffed Ravenkit on the ear playfully and disappeared along with Blackwater.
Ravenkit stayed frozen there for a second, taking in everything. After a few minutes he slowly stood up and crept back to the nursery to go to sleep.
