Chapter 2
Tallkit bounced around outside of the nursery. His mother, Flowerpelt, was a few tail-lengths away keeping an eye on her precious kit. A few moments later, three cats approached Tallkit and Flowerpelt.
"Good morning Flowerpelt." A large silver she-cat mewed. A large dark brown tom and a large black and white tom sat beside her.
Tallkit stopped playing and looked at the large cats. His eyes widened as he stared at the two large, muscular toms. Then he focused and the more slender, but large, she-cat. He stared at her battle scars each one represented a big battle that she fought and survived. "Woah…" he mumbled.
"Hello." The she-cat mewed.
"H-hi." The young kits stuttered.
"Tallkit, you should know who this is." Flowerpelt scowled. "Don't be shy."
"Mom." He whined. "I just never saw Breezystar up close before, she's always far away." He turned to face her. "Hi, Breezystar."
"Don't be rude, say hello to your father and the deputy." His mother ordered.
Tallkit turned to the dark brown tom. "Hello, Pinefur." He mewed. That large brown tom gazed at the small kit with his expressionless, green eyes.
"Hello." He meowed in a deep voice. A chill ran down Tallkit's spine which made his fur bristle.
Tallkit quickly turned his head away. Then he turned towards the black and white tom. Tallkit ran up to him and rub his tiny head and the large tom's leg.
"Hello father." He mewed happily. Flowerpelt approached the large tom and licked his ear.
"Hello Patchfoot." She whispered. Patchfoot pressed his nose into her flank and purred. Tallkit backed away and looked back at his leader.
"Flowerpelt." Breezystar meowed. Flowerpelt turned her gaze towards her leader.
"Yes?" she mewed.
"I think it is time for Tallkit to become and apprentice. He is six moons, right?" The larger silver she-cat meowed.
"Yes! Yes, I am!" Tallkit squeaked with excitement.
Breezystar nodded. "Be ready by Sunhigh." She turned away and left, Patchfoot followed.
Tallkit watched Breezystar walk away. Then he looked over at Pinefur who still move. He held his gaze at Tallkit and twitched his tail. The kit backed away a few steps an gulped.
"Yes, Pinefur." He mewed.
Pinefur sighed. "Nothing." He meowed. Without another word, he turned away and trotted towards his leader.
Tallkit watched as the deputy crept away. Something was not right. Frightened by the deputy's cold stare, he quickly ran towards his mother who was talking with another queen, outside of the nursery.
"Tallkit, say hello to Sagefur. She's a new queen." Flowerpelt mewed. Tallkit, still thinking about Pinefur's cold stare, didn't respond. Flowerpelt's stare became scarier than Pinefur's stare.
"Don't be rude." She snapped.
Tallkit quickly turned to Sagefur. "Hello." He muttered, and then he quickly ran into the nursery.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what's gotten into him." Flowerpelt meowed as she looked at the nursery entrance. "He's usually full of energy and loves to play outside." Then two queens continued talking with one another.
Tallkit sat in the nursery alone. Why did he stare at me for so long? Did I do something wrong? He wondered. Pinefur's stare lingered in his head for a few moments longer. Suddenly he saw a bug crawl by him. He focused on the bug and began to whack it with his paw. Within a few heartbeats he had already forgotten the haunting stare of Pinefur.
"Gotcha!" he mewed, pouncing on top of the bug. "You're mine." He used his nose the throw the bug up, then he pounced on it again. He rolled off and lied on the ground for a few moments, then slowly got back up.
"Die you evil bug." He yelled, pretending to be fatally wounded. The bug wasn't even moving anymore, yet the kit still attacked it. "I win!" he mewed proudly.
Suddenly he noticed a warrior staring at him. "What're you doing?" he meowed.
Tallkit stared at the warrior. "Just playing."
"Well keep it down, we can hear you from our den." He scowled. Then he turned away, his tall gold fur gleamed as he walked out of the nursery.
"Sorry Lionclaw." Tallkit mewed. After, Flowerpelt and Sagefur walked in and settled down. Tallkit walked over towards his mother and closed his eyes. This would be his last time sleeping in the nursery. By Sunhigh, he'd be an apprentice.
