A/N: Okay guys here is the chapter I promised you! There is action in this one!

~o~o~

"Come on!" hissed a fluffy ginger tomkit as he crept through a small tunnel that smelled like rotting crowfood.

"Can you please slow down, Flarekit?" huffed one of the other kits behind him.

Flarekit pricked his ears. "No,Whitekit, we're almost there." He replied to the tom.

"Flarekit, can we please go back? My paws hurt!" complained one of the she-cats behind him.

The ginger kit whipped around, green eyes glistening with anger. "No, Sunkit! We are almost there! Why did you even come?"

The light brown she-kit twitched her whiskers and lifted her chin. "I wanted to see the forest!" she shot back.

"Well, then why don't you shut up?!" the other she-kit snapped. Her tortoiseshell-and-white pelt ruffled in anger and her blue eyes shining with annoyance.

"Thanks, Pinekit." Whitekit replied.

"Quiet!" Flarekit ordered. He couldn't think straight with all his denmates' chattering!

After a few heartbeats, the kits emerged from the stinking tunnel. Flarekit's brother, Larkkit, made a face and mewed. "Next time, let's try sneaking out from behind the nursery."

The other kits murmured in agreement. After a couple heartbeats of silence, Sunkit meowed, "So, what now?"

All the kits' gazes turned to Flarekit. "Why are you all staring at me?" he snapped.

A bright orange tom twitched his ear. "It was your idea to sneak out in the first place." He pointed out.

Sunkit lashed her tail. "Yeah, Gingerkit's right!"

"Okay! Okay!" The ginger tom spat. "Follow me!" he lashed his tail and led the kits into the forest.

After a couple hours of exploring the fascinating forest, the kits began to tire. "Flarekit, can we please stop and take a rest?" Sunkit's brother, Birdkit, asked.

"Yes, please?" Sunkit agreed.

All the other kits mewed in agreement. Flarekit looked over his shoulder at the kits. They were all panting from walking for so long and the heat from the greenleaf sun which was at its highest point. He sighed. "Okay, we can rest for a bit."

They all collapsed on the ground once he said that. And soon enough they were all fall asleep. The ginger tom watched them with amusement and sat down and curled his tail around his paws. He took in all he saw. Tall trees with a thick canopy overhead, bramble bushes scattered throughout the area, and a fine layer of leaf litter making it soft underpaw. Mice, squirrels, sparrows, robins, blue jays, and the occasionally rabbit made FlameClan's forest alive with sound. Those scents mixed in with the faint scent of his Clanmates' made his nose hurt. Flarekit rubbed his nose with his paw and squeezed.

Then he scented something that he never scented before. It smelled foul. The ginger tom jumped to his paws when he heard a deep growl from his left. The kits, on his right, stirred at the noise and unfamiliar scent. "What's going on, Flarekit?" Pinekit whispered to her brother.

"I-I don't know." The ginger tom answered.

Larkkit bristled. "What do we do?"

"Yeah, because it smells like whatever it is, is closer." Whitekit whispered, his mismatched eyes glistening with fear.

Flarekit flattened his ears. "I-I…"

Before he could finish his sentence, a massive red creature with an ugly scarred muzzle erupted from the bramble bushes. The kits' eyes widened in fear. Sunkit and Birdkit, the oldest kits, immediately ran in front of Flarekit and fluffed up their fur to make them look twice their actual size. Birdkit shoved the younger kit back and growled. "Stay behind us with the others. No matter what keep them safe. Promise?"

Flarekit barely had time to nod before the large animal started to charge at them. Birdkit let out a battle cry and both he and his sister launched themselves at the creature. The red animal reared up and easily knocked the two out of the way. The duo landed hard on the ground. The creature switched its gaze towards other five kits. Flarekit flattened himself to the ground and hissed to the others to do the same.

The large red creature took a threatening step forward and then it charged again. The five kits decided what to do without even looking at each other and they launched themselves at the beast. Pinekit landed on its right foreleg, Whitekit landed on its left foreleg, Orangekit landed on its face, Larkkit landed on its back with Flarekit. The kits started to claw it with all their might. The creature was trying to shake them off. Larkkit lost his footing, got knocked off, and landed on ground with a sickening thud. "Larkkit!" Pinekit yowled, releasing her hold on the beast, and ran over to Larkkit.

Birdkit coughed and stood up. When he realized that the kits were fighting he quickly joined. Flarekit wanted so badly to let go and see if his brother is okay but he had to keep fighting. With a free paw, the creature knocked Orangekit off its face, clawing his back in the process. The ginger tom yowled in pain and landed on the ground. With its face free of Orangekit, it grabbed Whitekit with it teeth and threw him aside like a useless mouse. Now it was only Birdkit and Flarekit fighting the beast. The green-eyed tom sent blows to its head and amber-eyed tom bit on its tail. The red beast dropped to the ground and rolled on its back, squashing the two kits.

Flarekit yowled in pain. His vision started to get blurry. The last thing he saw before he passed out is the foul-smelling creature sneaking up on his sister. Pinekit… Look out… Then darkness.

~o~o~
