Stormykit was curled up in her nest, woken by something she didn't know. She blinked her eyes, then looked around the den. Panic instantly rose in her chest Why aren't I back home? She thought worriedly, but realized it was still dark out, and she probably hadn't fully went to sleep yet.
Jaggedkit was prodding her side with his paw. "Stormykit?" He whispered.
"What?" Stormykit rolled over, blinking at his amber eyes.
He seemed to be scared. Of her reaction to whatever he was going to say? She flattened her ears. "Well? Get on with it."
"I- just- never got a chance to say thank you."
Stormykit released the tension in her ears, letting them prick up again.
"-for saving me from the fox." he finished.
Stormykit stared at him for a few seconds, dumbfounded to hear this from him. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out for a moment. But then she finally spoke. "You're welcome." She said quietly. He seemed to relax that her reply was a claw.
"You're the best sister ever." He said with a soft smile as he curled up to sleep.
Stormykit watched his form slowly quiet down his breathing, as he began to softly snore. She sat in this position for a few moments before slowly curling up into a ball on the ground. The moss was comfy and provided her tired body to rest. She slowly closed her eyes, sinking in words that her brother in real life would never say. You're the best sister ever... He says that after the way i've been treating him? She thought. Her eyelids grew heavy and she fell into a much needed rest.
"So you ready for today?"
"Hmm? Oh yeah." Stephanie answered Tiffany quickly, returning back to reality. She was thinking about that night again.
"What's the matter?" Caroline asked.
"Nothing." She said, preoccupied with her thinking. "I'm still curious to why Rainstar is letting all of us become apprentices at the same time. You guys were born before me." She said.
"Remember in Crookedstar's Promise when one kit became an apprentice with another because they were best friends? But one was a moon younger?" Caroline said.
"Yeah."
"Same situation, I think. Wasn't that Skykit by the way?" Tiffany looked to Stephanie
"I think so. Which makes me think, how come none of the warriors have names that ever start with Thunder, River, Shadow, or Wind?" Stephanie asked. "There's SkyClan, and Skykit."
"There was Windflight, remember?" Tiffany replied.
"Oh yeah. Hey I'll catch you guys tonight. Big day!" Stephanie laughed, stepping onto the sidewalk to her house.
"Yup! See you later." Tiffany called with a wave.
"Bye!" Caroline said, letting Stephanie walk off down the sidewalk towards her house. She expected walking through the door to have something fall onto her, or blown in her face by her prankster brother. She walked down the sidewalk and approached her house. She cautiously opened the door, and of course, a water balloon flew over her head when she ducked. When she turned around, she saw it splatter onto the sidewalk.
"Nice tr-" She turned around, and a flash of blue streaked to her eyes. Another waterballoon had been thrown, and hit her square inbetween the eyes. It splattered forcefully and made her fall backwards onto the steps of the house. She slid on her back and tore the blue balloon's covering off of her face. "Jacob!" She yelled angrily.
She saw him leap out of the house door and begin laughing at her. "That was the best!" He laughed, doubling over and holding his stomache. Stephanie growled and got up. She almost hissed, and called him a flea-pelt. But she caught herself just in time, and just jumped on him.
He let out a yell and fell backwards, and she slapped him. "You idiot!" She yelled. "That hurt!"
"Good!" He yelled, hitting Stephanie.
She turned around and kicked him. "Leave me alone, you foxhea- you idiot!" She yelled.
"What were you about to call me? A fox? Well, that's an odd insult!" He laughed, pinning her down. "But I will say, I am as charming as a fox." He slicked his hair.
"Your disgusting!" She face-palmed him in the face and got up. "Go annoy someone else for a change!"
He seemed to grin in satisfaction, but she wasn't happy at all. She strolled back to her room, slamming the door behind her and lay down on her bed. She pulled out her homework and began to work on it. She plugged in her headphones and focused on her work.
"Stephanie! Stephanie!" Came Jacob's cry, after about twenty minutes of doing homework.
"What is it now?" She pulled out her headphones angrily with a huff.
He opened the door swiftly. "There's an emergency!" He yelled out, worry spread like butter on his face.
She sat up. "What is it?" Panic hit her heart.
"You're a dork!" He yelled out seriously, then broke into laughter. She crossed her arms and glared at him.
"Get out of my room."
"Well, the fox wants to st-"
"Get. Out. Of. My. ROOM!" She jumped out of her bed and raced across the room. She punched him in the face and he fell backwards. She slammed the door in his face and locked it angrily. "Don't bother me again!"
"Fine! You're the worst sister ever!" He huffed out and she heard his footsteps fade away down the hall.
Stephanie heard him walk away and backed up, waiting until her thys hit the bed. She sat down and curled up, feeling very confused. What was she doing that made her brother here hate her, and Jaggedkit like her? Well, she saved Jaggedkit's life. But there wasn't something she could save Jacob from. But there was no way that she would even attempt to fix her brother's relationship here. She hated him as much as he hated her. So... Is that how it will always be?
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated every day like I usually would. I'm feeling much better, over my cold now, so I've been getting back into the gist of things. Including make-up work. Ugh. But, enjoy this chapter. Sorry there's no warrior stuff in this one, but there will be, of course, in the next chapter.
Thanks so much for your reviews so far! Please, keep reviewing! :)
