Okay, don't be all criticize…y, but let me remind you, that this is my first book, and I still suck, just as I did when I came up with the idea to write. XD
Hollykit gave up trying to flatten her spiky fur. She watched as Splashkit and Eaglekit Enviously, who were tackling each other in a play fight. Unlike her, they had smooth, sleek pelts. Just then, her mother came out of the nursery, and wrapped her fluffy black tail around Hollykit, and watched her kits as they play.
"When did you get too old to play, Hollykit?" she asked with slight amusement. Hollykit rolled her eyes at her brothers, and started licking her paw.
"Since Scratchstar reminded us we will be apprentices in a few moons," Hollykit replied simply, trying (and failing) to wash her back. Her mother sighed, and Hollykit felt her mothers rough tongue start cleaning her back.
"You kits are growing up too fast! I remember when you were first born, just tiny balls of fur," Hollykit heard a tone of sadness in her usually bright mothers voice. Hollykit sat up, and went to her mothers' other side and snuggled up in her soft, fluffy tail.
"I'll still visit when I'm an apprentice though," Hollykit assured her. She jumped slightly, and she heard a rustle in the bushes, and whipped around to find her fathers sleek figure, coming towards them.
"What are my beautiful young she-cats up to?" He asked teasingly, and sat next to her mother, licking her ears. Her mother Darkbelly purred, and flicked her tail at Hollykit.
"Just the opposite really," she said purring in amusement. "Hollykit has just been reminding me how old we're getting, Redfur." Redfur fell into a battle crouch, and growled teasingly.
"what did you say? Making your mother feel bad hmm?" Hollykit squeaked in joy. She loved when her father played! She tried to run, but she heard her father's paws, telling her he was coming closer. She felt her father's paws wrap around her, and they were tumbled over. She purred.
"I didn't mean it I swear!" she meowed, in fake fear. He growled and was about to meow something, when her brothers jumped on him.
"We wanna play to dad! Chase me! Chase me too!" they cried in joy. Redfur growled, with a barely hidden purr of amusement.
"You want a piece of me kits? Good, I'm hungry!" he twisted around before they could run, and grabbed them too. They all started purring, Hollykit the loudest. They wiggled, but their father had a firm paw on them. He licked his lips, pretending he was delighted at the thought that he had just caught three kits, and would soon have a big meal.
"Mamma! Mamma!" they called, purring so loud Hollykit didn't know if her mother had heard them. But she saw Darkbelly leap over to them, and she tackled Redfur, setting the kits free.
"You dare to try and eat my kits?" she growled, and batted at his ears with sheathed claws. The three kits spun around to help their mother attack the 'bad cat'.
Soon, they were all laughing, and catching their breath. A big, happy, winded family.
And Hollykit was happy. That is, until she heard a scream.
Well, sorry if that was kind of short(LIKE A LOT), but I thought I'd get it out here, so you guys didn't forget about me. ;) And just a reminder, 'the cats outside of the clans' are always open, that is, unless I get like 30 cats. Actually, I think 38 is max. well, bye! (I should update soon, but let me know what you think!)
