Honeykit walked up to Luna and lightly poked the old she-cat. Luna opened on of her yellow eyes and yawned "what do you want?" she said tiredly. Honeykit rested on the old cat's arm. "Do you have any kits of your own?" she asked and Luna just sighed and laid her head down. "No… I'm not able to have kits my humans made sure of that"
"Humans?" she asked and Luna just shook her head "what do you call them..Twolegs?" Honeykit just 'oh'd' and got up. She then jumped on to Luna's back. Luna grunted in pain "Hey! I'm not young!" Luna snapped and Honeykit just giggled and started to play with the elder's ears. Luna growled and abruptly stood up causing Honeykit to fall off. Honeykit rolled on the ground and looked up a Luna. "Beat it" Luna growled laying back down.
Honeykit sighed and left Luna. She then purred and trotted over towards the warrior den "Spottedpelt!" she yelled outside the den. There was no response. Honeykit took a deep breath "Spottedpelt!" she yowled. All it took was a few seconds and the black and white cat came running out of the den. "What! Where's the fight!? Are the kit-" Spottedpelt frantically looked around then looked at Honeykit. "What's going on?" he asked glaring at the kit. She was unfazed by his glare and she purred "Play with me" she said.
Spottedpelt just stared at her then shook his head "Go play with your littermates" he then started to walk back to the warrior's den "Their sleeping!" she said walking with him. He growled and turned around at the entrance to the warrior's den "Then go play with Barktail!"
"She's sleeping too!"
"Midnightstar!"
"On patrol with Jenks, Tailwind, and Rocklash!"
"Lu-
"She just kicked me out!"
There was a silence and the too glared at each other. Spottedpelt finally sighed "Fine-
"Yay!" Honeykit ran to the middle of the camp and crouched down. Spottedpelt looked at her and rolled his eyes. Honeykit started to bounce around Spottedpelt growling. "Oh I'm so scared" he said sarcastically. Honeykit sat up and glared at the warrior. "You're no fun" she said plainly and Spottedpelt growled "Look…." He then sighed "Let me show you how to crouch properly when attacking" he then walked over to Honeykit and crouched down like he was going to attack another warrior.
"Do what I do" he said and Honeykit did as she was told. "Ok good now…you see that dead mouse?" he asked pointing to the mouse and Honeykit nodded "I want you to get on your hunches and jump on it like it was an enemy" after a few seconds Honeykit got into position and jumped. She landed right on the mouse. Spottedpelt purred "Good job…you look a lot like your mother" he said mostly to himself and Honeykit purred "Midnightclaw says that too" Spottedpelt felt his heart break a little. He shook his head and sighed.
"Hey when I, Silverkit, and Tigerkit become apprentices will you be my mentor?" she asked Spottedpelt just opened his mouth but said nothing. "I don't know about that Honeykit" he finally said and Honeykit looked at him with her big brown eyes. "Why not?"
"W-well-
Before he could answer there was a flash a white and black. "Ha!" Tigerkit had pinned Honeykit down and it didn't take long before the two started to play fight. Spottedpelt let out a sigh of relief and turned around. "Gah!" he stopped Silverkit now in front of him glaring at him. Her piercing blue eyes narrowed it actually made Spottedpelt shudder. Silverkit then growled at him "stay away from my sister!" she hissed angrily and Spottedpelt blinked then laughed "You're funny…must of got that from your father" he said and Silverkit just walked away still glaring at him. Spottedpelt just walked away shaking his head.
He found himself walking into the nursery. He looked at Barktail laying down her eyes where open and she was staring at the ground. "Are you ok?" he asked causing her to jump up and her tail to bristle up. "Whoa it's just me" he said walking in. Barktail blinked and stood up. She shook her pelt causing random pieces of moss to fall off her pelt. Barktail looked at him then walked passed him.
"Barktail" he trotted up to her stopping her and he sighed. "I can't tell if you're mad or sad or guilty for what happened but I just wanted to tell you don't be! I understand I should have realized sooner that you didn't like me like that and I shouldn't have acted like I did when I found out…"
There was a heavy silence then Barktail nodded. Spottedpelt sighed then laughed "I can't tell if you're telling me you forgive me or if you're agreeing with me" Barktail purred a little and Spottedpelt just sighed "But I'll take it" he lightly butted his head against hers and then backed up.
"Good thing you backed up I was getting worried" Came Midnightstar's voice. Spottedpelt jumped up and turned around. The patrol was back. Jenks walked past the two not saying a word like always. Spottedpelt resisted the urge to glare at the big cat. He then turned back to Midnightstar. He was rubbing against Barktail who was purring. Rocklash and Tailwind walked past them their tail's intertwined. Spottedpelt just shook his head and walked up to Midnightstar.
Before he could say anything Honeykit ran up and rubbed against Midnightstar's legs. Spottedpelt narrowed his eyes and looked away 'They should be my kits!' he then shook his head 'no! I shouldn't think like that!' he thought he then quickly looked back at Midnightstar. Before he could say anything Midnightstar spoke "Spottedpelt follow me to my den will you? I want to talk to you alone" he said and Spottedpelt nodded and followed Midnightstar to his den.
Midnightstar sat down on his nest and sighed "I have to know…are you staying or leaving?" he asked looking Spottedpelt dead in the eye. There was a silence then Midnightstar spoke again "You've been here almost a moon…it's time you make your decision"
(And no he wasn't sleeping the whole moon)
Spottedpelt looked out of the den and kept his eyes on Honeykit. "What about Thunderclan…they probably think I'm dead" he said. There was a silence then he sighed "But I really don't want to leave Honeykit…" he muttered not thinking. He then shook head and laughed nervously. Midnightstar either didn't hear him or chose to ignore him because he sat down and looked at him "I'll give you till sun down tonight to decide" he said and Spottedpelt nodded and left the den.
As he walked out he watched Honeykit play with Silverkit and Tigerkit. With a sigh he sat down. Rocklash walked up to him and then looked at him. "Having trouble?" he asked and Spottedpelt nodded. "If it helps I think you should stay" he said looking at the kits as well. Spottedpelt took his eyes off the kits and looked at Rocklash. "You want me…to stay…you?" Rocklash sighed and looked up at the sky. "I know it sounds weird but you'd make a really good warrior in Nightclan…" he then sighed and placed his tail on Spottedpelt's shoulder then with a small laugh he asked "How has Petalpaw been since you left?"
"Oh you mean Petalface? Still mean and nasty…know that I think about it I think I heard her say she was going to be expecting Darkstorm's kits soon"
"Figures"
The two then started to laugh a little. Rocklash then looked at him "are Ferncloud and Dustpelt ok?" Spottedpelt looked at him.
"I came here almost a moon ago…and now you ask me these questions?"
Rocklash shrugged "It's just I've been a little busy…."
"With?"
"Well you know…being the deputy…And Tailwind" he whispered the last Part but Spottedpelt heard "what was that?" he asked and Rocklash looked away flattening his ears. Spottedpelt just purred and lightly swatted at the warrior "you know I'm mess with you…so you and Tailwind are mates?" he asked and Rocklash just looked around. "yeah…" he then looked around and dropped his voice in a whisper "I think Jenks wanted to be her mate…because when I go near him he just glares at me like I've done something wrong" Spottedpelt just blinked then purred "Good thing you talked to her first then...you know for a big cat he doesn't talk much I noticed" Rocklash nodded in agreement.
"He's more silent than Barktail" Rocklash whispered. He then perked his ears up shaking his head he sighed. "Well, I'll leave you to thinking" he said leaving Spottedpelt bowed his head at the tom then looked at the kits once more. Honeykit seemed to be teaching Tigerkit the move he showed her earlier. Silverkit on the other hand was lying next to Barktail. She seemed to be talking and Barktail was grooming her. Spottedpelt blinked and thought about Thunderclan. 'Well I can't really think of any reason why I shouldn't stay…I mean Thunderclan is great but here…I don't know maybe this is meant to be' he then purred as he looked at the kits playing. He then found his eyes going towards Barktail. She had finished grooming Silverkit and started on Tigerkit who was struggling against his mother. Spottedpelt purred a little.
Honeykit and Silverkit started to run around the fresh-kill pile. Spottedpelt found himself looking away from the playful kits to Luna who was sun bathing. The elder stretched her claws out and started to purr. Spottedpelt then turned his head towards Rocklash and Tailwind who where sharing a mouse. Jenks was of course in the warrior den. 'By the looks of it this clan does need more warriors…But what about Thunderclan?...maybe Starclan will tell them that I am ok' he thought as he watched the new clan.
He looked up at the sky and noticed that it was sunhigh. With a sigh he walked up to Midnightstar's den "Midnightstar…I've made my mind up" he said outside the den. "Ok then" Midnightstar walked up to him and purred "and?" he asked "I've decided to stay" Midnightstar purred "Great! I'll go and announce it to the rest of the clan" he said happily. He trotted over towards highstump and started to speak. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join under high ledge for a clan meeting!"
It didn't take long for all the cats to walk up to the stump even Jenks came out of the warrior's den and joined. Jenks sat down and Spottedpelt noticed him glaring at Rocklash. 'There is something at about that cat…' he though. "As you all know Spottedpelt was here to rest…and if he wanted to he could even stay in Nightclan if he chooses too…well he did choose and he chose to stay in Nightclan!" Rocklash and Tailwind yowled in agreement. Jenks said nothing as usually and Barktail looked a little happy.
Before anything else could happen Honeykit ran up to him and started to rub against his paws. Spottedpelt laughed and little and pushed Honeykit back towards the direction of her mother. It didn't take long before Honeykit and Tigerkit started to play. It didn't take long before the clan started to disperse. Midnightstar walked up to Spottedpelt and purred "I'm glad you joined…you can fight well and we need that" he said Spottedpelt bowed his head and Midnightstar purred again "well, I think I'm going to go and hunt for a little bit" Spottedpelt said and Midnightclaw nodded.
As he left the camp he noticed Jenks still glaring at Rocklash and Tailwind 'he must have really wanted to be her mate' he thought. Shaking his head he walked out of the camp and started to hunt.
