CHAPTER 3-JAYKIT

"How'd we do, Sharkpaw?" I sneered, and Skykit stared fondly at a sniffling Thistlekit. "Pretty well," The dark gray tom mused. He waddled to the prey pile and tossed a a fat mouse. We dug in and he left, waving his tail in goodbye. Skykit and I purred. Now, on to bully Rainkit! He did help Thistlekit, after all.

"Jay," Skykit hissed. "What, Sky?" I huffed, bathing my paws in slimy green mousebile. "You see Rain get upset at Thistle for lookin' at the clouds?" He was busy emptying water into Rainkit's nest. "Nah, bro. Only medicats do that, and Rain wanted to be one. Maybe he hopes Thistle won't." I mumbled, trying not to breathe in the terrible stench of mousebile.

"Finally, something that you can say you did that smart for once." I growled and thumped him on the head. "Be quiet you two," Rainkit growled. We glanced at him, than at each other, and settled down. Not before I thumped Skykit for the last time on the head, though.
