Chapter Four:
"Come on, Fallkit! Mossball. Mossball. Mossball. Moss-" I stop jumping on him when he hisses. I sigh and step off. "Mossball?" I ask him, using my big begging eyes.
He groans in annoyance. "Fine."
I yelp in success. "Haha! One for me, and none for you! Okay, let's go."
We walk outside together, greeted not by laughter but by… Nothing, for once.
"Well, I guess we can play in peace. Shiningpaw and her brothers must be out training or something."
"What about Redkit and Sunkit?"
Laughter sounds behind us. We turn to see them. "US? Follow HER? HA! You must be crazy. We were pretending the entire time. We would never follow someone like her. We wanna be your friends!" Sunkit mews.
Fallkit narrows his eyes. "How do we know you're not lying?"
Redkit and Sunkit sigh. "Why are you so smart? Yes, we're still following her. Whatever. Let's go." Redkit rolls her eyes.
The two walk away just as Mosskit and Codekit come up to us. "Hey, guys! Are you playing mossball again? Why not play leaders?"
I exchange a glance with Fallkit and look back to the two others. "Leaders?" My brother and I say simultaneously.
The other kits nod. "Leaders. Since we are four, the number will be perfect. Okay, this is how it works. I'm Codestar, leader of CodeClan- or whatever you want to call your Clan. Mosskit is Moss-Star, leader of…"
"MossyClan!"
"Robinkit is Robinstar, leader of…"
"RobinClan!"
"And Fallkit is Fallstar, leader of…"
"LeafClan!"
"So we have CodeClan, MossyClan, RobinClan, and LeafClan. We need to set up truces and enemies- but PLEASE note that these don't have anything to do with our real life friendships. So if LeafClan chose to enemy RobinClan, your friendship would not be broken. Hopefully. I mean, I'm hoping you guys have learned to respect decisions."
"Uhhh... I guess it'll be okay." I decide.
"Alright. Let's set the relationships up!"
"MossyClan allies RobinClan!"
"RobinClan enemies CodeClan!"
"LeafClan truces CodeClan!"
"MossyClan allies LeafClan!"
"RobinClan truces LeafClan!"
"Are we all set up? Mossy is with Robin, Robin's against Code, Leaf truces Code, Mossy's with Leaf, and Robin truces Leaf! We must follow these directions throughout the game. I'll draw a picture in the sandplace illustrating our relationships."
Codekit walks halfway across the clearing, nearly causing an apprentice to trip, and draws a diagram of the Clan relationships.
A vine is making a weird line to a feather.
A feather is making two straight lines to a square.
A leaf is making a straight line to a square.
A vine is making a weird line to a leaf.
A feather is making a straight line to a leaf.
He explains the signs, and we go back to the kitplace to play.
Our game lasts half the day, until sundown, where it results in RobinClan and MossyClan are the winners of the fight against LeafClan and CodeClan. My use of my best skill, usually used in the mossball game but lots more effective here, really helped out in the battle.
I'm going to call it the Winner's Streak, because I go fast while doing it and it helps me win battles or games most of the time.
I'm not seeing a lot of reviews, my goal is 10 but I guess that's not happening. Well, that's okay. Here's the next chapter. Chapter Five will hopefully be up tomorrow.
So, now Robinkit has a trademark move, yay!
Except not really, you'll find out later.
So there's also the game of Clan Leaders. Now that I think about it, no wonder you guys are reviewing, this story is super boring! Bring in the badgers!
(Unfortunately, there are no badger attacks in this book. Bleh.)
Well, stay tuned for the next chapter! And keep reviewing. If you don't, I won't upload another story on here for a long, long time, even longer than my previous absence.
