Random Fan, I'm sorry I took so long to update, I'm really happy that you enjoy this fic :)


"TreeClan warrior, feel my tiny wrath!" Beetlekit yowled, flinging himself onto Hawkkit.

"Get off me!" Hawkkit spat, flipping Beetlekit off of him, and pinning him down, causing him to let out a squeal.

"Get off my brother!" Willowkit spat, feeling anger burn in pelt. Beetlekit was just trying to play, why was Hawkkit being so mean?

"Don't talk to my brother that way, Beetlekit attacked him, he was only defending himself," Sleekkit meowed with a glare.

"Your brother shouldn't be such a jerk," Willowkit retorted with a quick lash of her tail.

"Well, your brother shouldn't be such a pest!"

"Come on, can we not fight? Our mothers are sleeping," Pebblekit meowed, casting a glance over at the three sleeping queens.

There was Quietreed, who was Willowkit and Beetlekit's mother. Willowkit loved her, though she thought she could be a tad bit over-protective sometimes, she also thought she worried too much.

Then there was Whisperingwillow, who was the mother of Hawkkit, Sleekkit, and Pebblekit. Willowkit thought she was pretty nice to her and the other kits, but she'd seen her act a bit rude to some of the other cats outside the nursery.

She glared at Sleekkit and Hawkkit, she would say that she bet they got their attitudes from her, but she knew that their father, Blunttalon, was even worse. She couldn't imagine how Pebblekit turned out so nice.

Finally, there was Lilybreeze, the newest queen in the nursery.

Lilybreeze was extremely aggressive and full of herself, not only that, but she was constantly forgetting things, including the names of every cat except her own kit.

Willowkit had to admit that she was brave though, one time, a water snake made its way into the nursery, and she killed it without fear.

As for her kit, Willowkit didn't know much about Dewkit, he didn't really talk. She figured he'd open up more once he got older.

"If you don't want to train, then don't blame me when Beetlekit and Willowkit become warriors before you!"

At the sound of her name, Willowkit poked her head out of the nursery, to see Splashpetal arguing with Wickerpaw.

"I just don't think I need anymore training, Blackflower and Morningdew say I'm the best fighter in the clan," Wickerpaw bragged.

"You know Wickerpaw," Splashpetal meowed, softer this time, so Willowkit had to strain her ears, "this beheaviour, you not training because you think you're better than all the other cats, is only going to hinder you."

Wickerpaw grumbled something back that Willowkit couldn't hear. Feeling bored with what was going on with Splashpetal and her apprentice, she turned her attention back to her brother.

She was glad to see that he and Hawkkit had stopped fighting.

Hawkkit, she saw, was huddled up with Sleekkit and Pebblekit, they were whispering stuff to each other, that she couldn't hear, much to her annoyance. She just knew that they were talking about her!

"Do you know what they're talking about?" she asked Beetlekit, knowing her brother had the best hearing in the nursery, and possibly even the whole clan!

"It's none of our business who we're talking about!" Sleekkit spat, turning to glare at Willowkit.

"Yeah Willowkit, you should really learn to meow more quietly, I bet even MoleClan can hear you," Hawkkit meowed.

"You smell like a MoleClan cat!" Beetlekit exclaimed.

"Well, you look like a TreeClan cat!" Hawkkit retorted.

Beetlekit let out a loud yowl, and pounced on the other tom kit, soon, they both started rolling around, biting and clawing each other.

Willowkit stood there, trying to figure out if she should jump in and help her brother, when Quietreed and Whisperingwillow woke up, and ran over to their kits. Quietreed grabbed Beetlekit's scruff, and pulled him away, while Whisperingwillow did the same to Hawkkit.

"Must you two always fight?" Whisperingwillow sighed.

"He started it, he told me that I smell like a MoleClan cat!" Hawkkit protested.

"I don't care who started it, this ends now, I don't want anymore fights between you two," Whisperingwillow meowed sternly.

"She's right, you could really hurt each other by fighting like this," Quietreed meowed softly.

Both of the kits hung their heads.

"We're sorry, we won't fight anymore," Hawkkit mewed.

Willowkit knew he was lying, she knew that he and Beetlekit would fight again, just as she and Sleekkit would fight again, it was just how things were in the nursery.

"Good, and how knows, you two might end up becoming good friends someday," Whisperingwillow meowed.

Yeah, and hedgehogs might fly, Willowkit thought to herself, she didn't dare say it out loud though, not when the queens were already angry enough as it was.

"I hope you're feeling hungry, because we just caught a lot of fish," Splashpaw meowed stepping into the nursery, with Creekpaw coming in behind her, with a large fish in her jaws.

Willowkit took a deep breath, taking in the scent of the fish. Her mouth watered as she imagined sinking her teeth into it.

"I caught enough fish to feed the whole clan for moons!" Splashpaw bragged.

"Hey, I caught that one," Creekpaw protested once she had dropped the fish in front of the queens.

"Yeah well, even Blackflower complimented my fishing technique," Splashpaw meowed.

Creekpaw's mouth dropped open, and her green eyes grew wide with shock.

"Are you sure he didn't confuse you with Wickerpaw?"

"No, I think he just recognizes my brilliance," Splashpaw meowed, turning to the queens, "Just call if you want more fish!"

With that, she turned and pranced out of the nursery with her head held high.

"Yes, enjoy, I'm going to see if Lotusflower needs me to do anything else," Creekpaw meowed, before she too left the nursery.

"Come and eat," Quietreed meowed, pushing a piece of the fish towards Willowkit and Beetlekit.
Willowkit eagerly sank her teeth into it, savouring the taste on her tongue, before gulping it down.

"It's too bad Dewkit isn't old enough to eat fresh kill yet," Beetlekit meowed with a mouthful of food.

Quietreed looked at them, with worry shining in her green eyes.

"Don't talk with your mouth full, you might choke."

Willowkit sighed, their mother constantly worried about everything! She barely even let them leave the nursery, and even when they did manage to convince her to let them explore, she would always stay right where she could see them.

A frightening thought suddenly hit her, what if she didn't let them become apprentices? What if she and Beetlekit were destined to stay in the nursery forever?
