Chapter 2: Never Noticed
Moosekit scampered across the clearing over to the newly named Autumnleaf. By Clan tradition, she wasn't allowed to speak.
"Guess what? Guess what?" Moosekit squealed.
She inclined her head in a questioning manner.
"I'm going to be an apprentice in a moon!" Moosekit told her. "And then after that, I'll be a warrior, just like you!"
Autumnleaf smiled down at him.
"Hey, can I sit vigil with you?" Moosekit squeaked. "It'll be like training."
Autumnleaf shrugged her shoulders because she didn't know if he could or not. Moosekit immediately scrambled back over to the nursery.
She sighed and padded over to the camp entrance. She sat down and lifted her head to look at the stars.
She turned around when she saw Moosekit coming back. "Applestem says it's okay!" Moosekit said excitedly. "Isn't it great? I can keep watch for StormClan too!"
Autumnleaf laughed. She pointed with her tail towards the apple tree at the edge of camp.
Moosekit tumbled over to the apple tree and looked up at the big, round red apples. I wonder if they taste as good as rabbit. He thought, swiping his tongue over his mouth.
He grabbed a low-hanging branch and plucked off a small apple. He took a bite out of it and immediately spat it back out.
"Gross!" he exclaimed, knocking the apple away. Suddenly he heard a laugh from the bushes. Looking up, he came face-to-face with glowing amber eyes. "Ah!" he screamed, leaping back.
"Moosekit, what's wrong?" Autumnleaf asked worriedly, coming over.
"There-there was a cat, in the bushes…" he looked back, but he couldn't find the amber eyes.
Autumnleaf searched the bushes and then looked annoyed. She soon returned to her post, trying to act as though she hadn't broken her vow of silence.
Moosekit looked back at his half-eaten apple that lay dirty on the ground.
I know that I saw someone. Moosekit sighed. Why doesn't anyone listen to me?
That was a really short chapter, I know but it really only ended there. Sorry!
And please, PLEASE review. I don't have even one. That really stinks.
I promise that if you review my story, then I'll review at least one of yours, maybe even all of them, you never know.
