I will quickly answer some reviews and then get onto Chapter 2, 2.0
Dewdrop-I have not yet decided on her complete fate. Who knows if she will end up an antagonist or protagonist. Maybe both!
Orange peel 5-How you read the coded chapter, I do not know. But glad that you liked it.
Guest-Glad you like it!
Crystalshine of LightClan-Indeed, OCs are permitted. More information is at the end so please read that before sending in your kitties.
PheonixRune-Haha, they'd be no use up against this evil ghosty.
KT FeatherSage-Thank you for your lovely review!
Chapter Two
All Fun And Games
Anxious hazel orbs scanned Petalkit's every move. Brackenkit was not known for being a cowardly cat, but he couldn't help glancing at his wound every so often, as if it might instantaneously fester.
Petalkit was aware of this, and the she-kit struggled to mask her hurt. Her family wasn't classed as tight-knit, but Brackenkit was her kin, and watching your sibling fearfully observe your movements wasn't desirable.
Ivykit had been spending more and more time with Sweetkit, an irritating kit who seemed to almost look up to Petalkit's bossy sister. Petalkit didn't know why, as Ivykit wasn't a cat to look up to.
"Brackenkit, c'mon!" A voice made the tom jump and he broke his gaze, scampering off swiftly to join Ivykit and the others.
Petalkit decided to come over, not wanting to be left out. Brackenkit didn't seem delighted, but said no word of protest, looking at Ivykit to see how the ringleader would react to a rather unwanted arrival.
"Hey, Petalkit!" Sweetkit gave a smile that seemed fake, not quite reaching her azure pools.
"What are you playing?" Petalkit asked, deciding that Ivykit saying nothing was a good thing. Better than being hissed at. Ivykit wasn't a mean cat, but when things didn't go how the eldest kit wanted them to, then she could use a rather cutting tongue against those who didn't play 'correctly'.
"Freeze Tag." Ivykit said, saying the name as if the name deserved a great deal of honour and respect.
"Yep." Shykit came over from talking briefly with his sibling. "I am assuming that you know how to play?" He could have been speaking to any of them, but his emerald optics stared at only Petalkit.
Petalkit nodded, "Yep."
"Great!" Ivykit finally spoke. She seemed almost too bright, like it was a false tone. "Let's start. Petalkit, you're It. Last one running will win." The game, more often than not, didn't end. It was a long game, as you had to be fast with catching the Runners. They could unfreeze each other so if you were slow, then you would have all three unfrozen.
That was not the true way to play but it was Ivykit' way and nobody could be bothered to argue with her. Nobody was afraid of doing so, except occasionally Brackenkit, when Ivykit was in a bad mood, but they didn't due to the fact that the bossy kit could argue for moons on end if she had to.
Being It was something they all hated, so Brackenkit looked slightly less nervous about yesterday's attacker joining in.
'Such a wimp.' The voice in her head purred, mirroring her thoughts. 'You didn't get lucky in the Siblings Department.'
No, she didn't get lucky. A coward as a brother and a stubborn bossy-boots for a sister. She wasn't fond of Sweetkit either. Shykit, she had rarely spoken to. He wasn't shy, like his name suggested, but he wasn't much of a speaker normally. Privately, Petalkit thought 'Quietkit' was a more appropriate name for the tom.
"Begin!" Ivykit yowled, and the kits took off, pursued by Petalkit as she tried to catch them all, quickly losing her thoughts, lost in the game.
"Such an innocent being." She gave a soft chuckle to herself, observing the kit through the puddle than gave them a glimpse of the world. "Yet I see so much of Rosewind in her already."
She mused to herself, settling into a crouched position, paws folded, tail wrapped around her small frame.
"Will it really work?" He, a stocky tom, asked. His voice was uncertain as he searched the female for answers. "I mean, this is something new."
"Rosewind failed. She was given a chance to start again. Who would pass it up or fail at the last thing they had?" She narrowed her eyes, "Stop being so foolish."
"Yes, but remember the tiny, little problem? She cannot control the kit yet, only speak to it. Controlling will not happen for some time. What if the kit ignores her, or gets killed? Nothing is yet for certain."
She was getting annoyed with the tom, sitting straight, tail lashing. The tom may have been stocky, and the she-cat small, but with a thunderous expression, the tom daren't argue. "It will work." She hissed. "Now go, I can't be bothered to waste my time with a tom like you."
Grateful to have his life, the tom fled and the she-cat returned to her previous position.
"Rosewind," She whispered in a barely audible hiss, gazing into the pool, "you'd better not screw this up."
I need OCs, but for a completely different clan. Well, more of a large band of loners.
They have ranks like a wolf pack, so if you don't understand some, maybe you could search them up.
I need a name for this band so could you all give me some suggestions as well? Thanks!
The...
HIGHEST RANKS
Alpha F-OPEN
Alpha M-OPEN
Beta-1 OPEN

Kits-UNLIMITED OPEN
I only chose ones most vital to the unnamed loner group, as I didn't want to overpopulate the group. It's still unrealistically large but I can't help that.
I will accept OCs until submissions stop coming in or until we get too far into the story and they have already been introduced. Any still open will be done by me.
Hope you enjoyed and see you next chapter!
UPDATE
Oop, I forgot one thing.
Here is the desired form.
Name(Preferably a loner name but warrior names are permitted)-
Rank-
Appearance(Must be realistic. If not, I will modify them slightly)-
Age-
Personality(They must have flaws as well. No Mary-Sues'!)-
Kin(Must be included in your review)-
Backstory-
Somebody has already submitted a cat so thank you for doing so! I'll add them in now quickly.
Also, again, I would greatly appreciate it if some people gave me some names. I would prefer it if there were three words. The first being The, the second a verb or adjective, the last being a noun or verb. An example would be The Running Stars, or The Black Chasers
Yes, I know that most likely confusing. If you're confuddled, let me know or simply don't submit some name choices.
