Thank you Duskspiral and icanwrite13 for the power ideas!
Hollykit slowly opened her eyes. She could not feel the soft moss she was laying on when she went to sleep or feel her brothers or her mother's soft fur. No, it felt like she was laying on bark.
She groggily blinked open her eyes and looked downwards. It looked as though she was outside of camp, or not even near it.
She had never been up a tree before, nor had she ever attempted to climb one in the first place. So how did she get up here in the first place-?
A loud screech of a name broke into her thoughts. It sounded like her brother, Jaykit, but what would he be doing out here in the first place? Squirrelflight hardly lets him out of her sight. Along with Leafpool, her aunt.
She looked towards where she heard the screech from, and saw a tiny gray tabby kit running aimlessly along with a apprentice sized cub with a bushy tail snapping at the kits tail.
She immediately knew it was her brother. She could recognize him from anywhere. But what was he doing out of camp? Jaykit usually was the most logical, but hot headed out of her litter mates and knew to at least tell her or Lionkit if he was going anywhere. They were littermates for Starclans sake!
As she was about to call to him to see if she could help him in anyway, the cub caught up to him and bit Jaykits tail. Jaykit let out a small hiss and started to force himself to speed up. Going faster and faster. She looked ahead of him, to see if any cat could help him, since she didn't think she'd be able to help due to how far away she was and she didn't know how to get down.
Jaykit was heading over to the edge of the stone hollow! If he falls, he could die!
"Jaykit! Your heading towards the edge of the stone hallow! Turn around!" She yowled, but Jaykit didn't seem to hear her.
She started formulating a plan. Maybe if she jumped down to a lower branch, she would be able to make it to the ground faster? Maybe she can make it to Jaykit in time? No, she wouldn't be able to make it in time.
She watched helplessly as her brother came to the edge and fell, the cub nearly doing the same.
Hollykit let out a loud mournful wail, about to jump down from the tree. She felt herself being shaken and instinctively digged her claws in the bark of the tree.
"Hollykit! Wake up! Your tearing out my fur!"
Hollykits eyes flew open in alarm, and immediately saw her brother, Lionkit, squeaking in pain. Hollykits eyes widened and she immediately unhooked her claws from his fur.
"Sorry Lionkit! I didn't realize I was doing I was hurting you."
"It's fine. Just watch where your putting your claws when you sleep" He grumbled out.
"Will you two keep it down? Some cats are trying to sleep!" Jaykit hissed as he practically burns his head in there mother's fur.
"Jaykit!" Hollykit gasped, suddenly remembering her dream. "Are you alright?" She asked, sniffing around his body trying to find any injuries or blood.
"Of course I'm alright. Why wouldn't I be alright?" Jaykit hissed, swiping at her.
"I had a dream that you were being chased by a fox cub, and you fell down the stone hallow!" She replied, looking down at his fur as if she was searching for ticks from an elder.
Jaykit looked at her and immediately shoved her way "honestly, Hollykit, that's the most mouse-brained thing I have ever heard! With Squirrelflight and Leafpool breathing down by back every second, I wouldn't even have the chance to even leave camp!"
"Hollykit," Squirrelflight said softly "Maybe you've been listening to too many of Mousefurs and Longtails stories."
"But it seemed so real..." Hollykit protested
"I once fell down that hollow too, you know," Squirrelflight started "Mousefur and Longtail were probably telling you and your brothers that story and Jaykit just simply came to mind while you were having the dream"
"But-"
"No buts" she said firmly "I don't want to hear another word about this for the rest of the night" She then nudged Hollykit to lay down next to Jaykit with Lionkit on the other side. "Most cats aren't awake yet. So it's time you three go back to sleep" she said in a much softer tone.
"Lionkit, will you be alright for the rest of the night? Or do I need to take you to Leafpools den?" Squirrelflight asked the golden tabby kit.
"All be fine. It stings a little, but I can handle it till the morning" Lionkit said, puffing out his chest.
Squirrelflight nodded as she wrapped her tail around her kits and pulled them closer to her.
After a couple of soft licks to the head from there mother all three of them went to sleep.
