A moon or so later
~Leafkit~
I awoke around dawn, and just lay there for awhile, looking around the den. In the time since I had been born, two other kits had become apprentices, and their mom had moved back into the warriors' den. Also, a she-cat called Maplefur had taken up residence in the nursery for the time being, her kits would be born in a few months or so.
No more riots had happened since the day when I had opened my eyes. Almost all of the cats were fully healed, except for one new elder who was now half blind. Since the clan was small enough as it was, Nightstar had decided to let the rebel cats stay in the clan, although they were being kept under very close watch. Sadly, the deputy who had started the revolt had died from his injuries a few suns after the fight. After his vigil was held, Nightstar made the announcement that Woodfur, my father, would be the new deputy! Graypelt, Rainkit, and I were very happy for him, and I felt he deserved his new rank.
After the gathering a few suns ago (that Woodfur had gone to), I heard rumors that the other clans were having trouble too. The Thunderclan cats were apparently short on prey with the early coming of no-leaf. Windclan and Shadowclan were doing just fine, though.
I stood up slowly, and inched away from Rainkit, trying not to wake her. Both Graypelt and Woodfur were out patrolling, and wouldn't be back for a bit. I had decided to go swimming.
I picked up a fish from the well-stocked fresh kill pile, and carried it to the river that ran next to our camp. Eating it quickly, I then walked into the shallow part of the water. Going out a little farther, I pulled my legs up and started swimming slowly.
Graypelt had taught us both how to swim a few suns ago, and I was getting pretty good at it. She had wanted to make sure we could swim, just in case there was a flood, or we needed to go through deep water for some reason. It came in handy when I was fishing, although I've only caught a few fish, and with all my splashing I was certainly not catching anything then.
I got out of the water soon after getting in, and walked back into the camp to go play with Rainkit.
~Whitekit~
"Whitekit. I brought you a mouse."
My eyes opened, and I saw Lilysong standing in front of me, holding a mouse. I grinned up at her, and thanked her.
Prey had continued decreasing until the Gathering. Lilysong hadn't gone that night, but a few others had, like Spottedstar. He held a clan meeting right after to tell those who hadn't gone about the gathering. Apparently Riverclan has been having problems of their own lately, some of their cats had rebelled against the clan. Their deputy had died during the fight, so Riverclan had a new one. I think his name was Woodfur? The other cats seem to think highly of them.
The fresh-kill pile got bigger after the Gathering, thankfully. Although far from looking normal, we Thunderclan cats didn't look quite as bony.
I ate most the mouse quickly, then looked around for my friends. Amberkit, Sunkit, and their mom Petalflower were still asleep in the corner, but Hazelkit was sitting at the entrance, looking outside the den. He looked hungry, so I went over with my mouse. Dropping it at his feet, I asked "Hey Hazelkit, do you want the rest of my mouse?".
He gave me a grateful look, and gobbled down the rest of the mouse. Lilysong walked back outside as he ate. Hazelkit and I climbed stuff for awhile, then he jumped down right next to where I was standing.
"Hey Whitekit?" he said quietly, nervously, "Can I tell you something?"
"Anything, Hazelkit." I replied, curious, "I'm your best friend, I can keep a secret."
"I'm worried about Petalflower." he murmered, "I don't think she's been eating hardly anything lately. She gives every piece of food I've seen to Sunkit. You know how much smaller he is than the rest of us."
I was worried too. Although Sunkit and his siblings were around 4 and a half moons old, he was a small as I was. Glancing back into the den, I saw that Petalflower did look really thin, thinner than any other cat.
"Hazelkit, if this keeps up, you have to tell the medicine cat! She could get sick or something!"
Hazelkit looked worried, "Okay Whitekit. I will."
We chatted for a little while longer before Amberkit woke up. We play fought for a little while after that, and being the largest kit, she managed to pin me to the ground. After a few seconds we both got up, and went to our moms for food. It was getting late.
I was very worried about Petalflower, and hoped the medicine cat would be able to help her. I promised myself that if Petalflower got worse and Hazelkit didn't get help, I would.
My first update in a very long time. Please review! I'm still accepting characters, but I changed around which ones and added some.
I am accepting character applications for these positions:
Thunderclan: Med Cat, Deputy, Elders, Kits, Queens, Warriors, Both kinds of Apprentices
Riverclan: Elders, Kits, Queens, Warriors, Both kinds of Apprentices
Shadowclan: All
Windclan: All
Rogues/Loners/Kittypets: All
Starclan/Dark Forest: Only a few background characters
For the positions that include more than one cat, I will only take five applications. If I think your cat is interesting enough, I might ask you if I can switch him/her to another clan. First come first served, although if two people apply for the same thing and only one spot is open I'll probably pick the one with the best application and move the other to another clan.
Form:
Name: , Gender: , Age: In moons, Clan: , Rank: , Personality: , Appearance: , History: Please be mindful that if this interferes with the plot/I want to give your character a certain role I might change this up a little
