Chapter 7

'Honeykit, be gentle sweetheart.' Fallowwing called to the wrestling kits in front of the warriors den. 'I am being gentle thou- ow! Lightkit (you) need to be gentle!' Honeykit squealed and lunged herself at Lightkit again.
Honeykit heard Fallowwing sigh at their antics. She glanced over at Deerkit, who was playing by herself a little away from Fallowwing. 'Wait, hold on Lightkit, I have an idea.' Honeykit said, sitting down and pulling Lightkit closer.

'What is it Honeykit? Are we going on an adventure? A quest? Is there a prophecy or sonething? I always knew you were going to be a medicine cat.' Lightkit rushed out.
'No!' Honeykit mewed. 'None of those! Maybe the adventure one though.'

'Oh I do love adventures! Like when we came outside for the first time, or when we first wrestled, or.. there are other ones too, but I don't remember.' Lightkit burst out.
'Lightkit! I'm talking, be quiet for just one moment.' Honeykit mewed, after a pause, she continued. 'We should go into the medicine den and see Rowankit, we don't know what he looks like right? I don't at least.'

'But won't we get in trouble if we do, because we aren't allowed in there?' Lightkit said in a hushed tone. 'Only if we tell, oth-her than that we should be good.' Honeykit whispered.

Fallowwing looked to her right to see Honeykit and Lightkit whispering in a corner.
She wondered what they were conspiring about. She looked to her left. 'What are you playing Deerkit?' She asked her kit.
Deerkit looked up. 'I'm playing with this moss.' She paused. 'Do you want to play with me mommy?' Fallowwing shuffled closer, conscricting her view of the other kits.

'What'ya doing?' A voice from behind Honeykit said. The two kits jumped.
'Nothing.' Honeykit said, turning around.
'Are'ya sure? It looks like you're doing something.' The kit said. Honeykit studied the stranger. They were white with tan stripes and a black nose. 'We aren't doing anything.. who ever you are.' Lightkit mewed turning away fom the kit.

'Grasskit.'
'What? Oh.' Honeykit said, turning back around.
'What are you doing really?' Grasskit mewed, sitting down next to them. 'None of your buis-ness Grasskit.' Honeykit hissed.
'No need to be mean.' Grasskit paused. 'What are your names anyway?'
'I'm Lightkit and this is Honeykit.' Lightkit mewed before Honeykit could answer.
'Okay, well bye!' Grasskit said abruptly. She dashed off. 'She was weird.' Lightkit mewed.


'So everything is planned?' Honeykit whispered to Lightkit. 'I think so.' Lightkit whispered back. 'Should we ask Deerkit if she wants to join?' 'No, she'll just tattle on us.' Honeykit replied.
'Kits, no talking remember. Its bedtime.' Fallowwing mewed to her chatterboxes.

'Sorry, Mama.' Lightkit squeaked. Fallowwing settled into the nest, wrapping her tail around her kits.
After a few minutes, the kits could hear the sound of her breathing evening out. After a few more minutes, Honeykit whispered; 'Okay, let's go.' She slowly pulled herself from the nest, careful to not nudge Deerkit or Fallowwing.

Once Lightkit was standing Honeykit crept towards the entrance of the warriors den. A cold wind swept through the den, sending a shiver down Honeykit's spine.
She glanced at Lightkit, who was stretching. 'I'm going.' whispered Honeykit, voice carefully low as to not wake up the rest of the den.
Lightkit nodded, and sat, waitting for her to leave.

Honeykit stepped outside, the ground was cold, leaf-bare was coming quickly. The moon ilumanated the camp, casting ominus shadows.
She crept towards the Medicine den, trying to keep to the shadows. She glanced behind her and flicked her tail for Lightkit to come out, knowing he was watching.
'Are we good?' Lightkit asked, fur glowing in the moonlight.
'Yes, now we need to get in the Medi-icine den, I think both of them are in, so we need to find a way around them.' Honeykit replied, peering at the den, only darkness was visible.

'I'll go first, when I find Rowankit, I'll flick my tail and you come in. Okay?' Honeykit meowed, already padding towards the den, Lightkit following behind. 'Here I go, wish me-e luck.' Honeykit whispered. 'Luck.' replied Lightkit.

Honeykit stepped lightly into the den, pausing a moment for her eyes to adjust, while she waited, she sniffed, trying to disern where Heatherbloom and Pebblesong were in the den. The smell of herbs was overwhelming, flooding her nose and blocking all other smells.

She stepped in farther, eyes now adjusted. She imediately saw a large-ish alcove, where the herbs were stored no bet.
Next to that, was a small pool of water. At the beck, were two nests, both empty at the moment. Honeykit padded farther into the cave, leering at the herbs around her.
On the right side of the cave, were two smaller nooks. Honeykit glanced in the closest one, wondering what it's darkness held.

Honeykit pulled back swiftly, Pebblesong and Heatherbloom's nests were in there, both held each cat in turn, making the nook radiate with heat. 'Found them, now where's Rowankit?' Honeykit muttered to herself, sitting on her haunches. 'I need to look in he other one, maybe I'll dash by and duck in?'
Honeykit pulled back slightly, readying to sprint across the opening.
It was about one tail length across, Honeykit waggled her haunches, and sprinted across, pausing to listen for any noise coming from within. Nothing.
Honeykit poked her head inside the alcove, it was half a tail long and five tail lengths deep, with a blob that looked like a nest, a small un moving figure lay in it.

Rowankit.

Honeykit turned and flicked her tail at the entrance, seeing the shadow of Lightkit. 'I found him!' Honeykit said in a excited whisper, flicking her tail franticly, barely able to keep from ducking in by herself. 'They're in there, be quiet.' She said, pointing at the other opening.

Lightkit crossed quickly, coming to a stop beside Honeykit. 'Can I go first? Since you came in first.' Lightkit whispered, glancing at Honeykit. She nodded, and Lightkit pushed into the depths.
Honeykit followed quickly behind him, ready to see what her brother actually looked like.
But Lightkit and her stopped dead, the bundle in the nest was moving.

And it smelled like fox.


Sorry for being late, I went for a hike.

Review your thoughts! And any mistakes, like () because I write my chapters in a text document and it doesn't have italics. Lamesauce.
