ENJOY! :) :) :)
Leafpool sat outside the nursery with her kits.
"I'm clean enough," Darkkit huffed. Darkkit ran a paw over her face, "did she wash all of you this hard?" Darkkit asked her siblings. They all finally opened their eyes. Leafkit was the last to open his. Crowstar was going to come at Sunhigh to see his kits with their eyes open. Silverkit was flicking her tail back and forth, Darkkit fought the urge to jump on her sister's tail and get her pelt snowy. Sleekkit didn't fight the urge and jumped on his younger sister's tail. Silverkit squealed and threw snow at Sleekkit. Silverkit missed and the snow hit Leafpool in the face. Leafkit stifled a purr of amusement.
"Kits!" Leafpool exclaimed, "Sit up and don't twitch a whisker while I clean myself up." Darkkit wrapped her tail neatly around her paws and sat up straight.
Leafkit tapped Darkkit on the shoulder and angled his head at the entrance of the camp. Darkkit saw a large gray black tom at the lead of a hunting patrol holding a large rabbit. Darkkit guessed that this cat was her father. The large tom put his rabbit on the fresh-kill pile and started walking to the nursery. Leafpool looked up from washing herself when she noticed her mate approaching.
"Crowstar, your kits opened their eyes this morning. Come and see them." Leafpool meowed after touching her nose to Crowstars. She beckoned with her tail for their kits to come meet their father.
"Come on kits you can move now," Leafpool said, "your kits were throwing snow at me so I told them to sit down," Leafpool explained. " I wasn't! " Darkkit protested. "Calm down," Crowstar purred. "Hey Darkkit and Silverkit have my eyes and Leafkit and Sleekkit have yours," Crowstar exclaimed. "Can you please play with us," Silverkit meowed, her eyes full of hope. " I don't know, " Crowstar meowed his eyes filling with mischief. He threw a pawful of snow at an unsuspecting Leafpool. "Hey!" She meowed with surprise, "come on kits help me get your father. " Darkkit purred and launched herself at her father, knocking him to the ground. Her brothers and sister jumped on him. Leafpool threw snow at her kits and ran away. Laughter bubbled up as Darkkit chased after her mother while her siblings wrestled with their father. Darkkit caught her mother and threw snow at her. Sleekkit came up behind Darkkit and jumped on her. Leafpool walked to Crowstar as their kits wrestled each other. Darkkit pinned Sleekkit to the ground.
"Get off you big lump of fur," Sleekkit meowed at his sister. Darkkit jumped off and watched as her brother shook snow off of himself. Darkkit was so busy watching her siblings play that she didn't notice Crowstar creeping up on her. Suddenly Crowstar pounced on her, and rolled her over in the snow. Darkkit jumped out of the snow and threw snow at her father. Crowstar ran around Leafpool. Crowstar stopped running as Darkkit caught up to him. Crowstar nudged his daughter and pawed at her gently with sheathed claws. Silverkit jumped onto Crowstar's back.
"Okay kits, I need to organize patrols now." Crowstar meowed crouching down so Silverkit could get off. He turned to Leafpool, "Heathertail sprained her paw. She got it stuck in a rabbit burrow." He explained. Crowstar nuzzled each of kits and and then touched noses with his mate. As Crowstar padded away towards tall rock, Darkkit smiled. She was proud that her father was clan leader, and was really busy but had time to stop and play with his kits. Darkkit shook snow off of her jet black pelt and launched herself at Leafkit.
Three days had passed since the kits had played with their parents in the snow. Darkkit sighed in front of the nursery. Leafpool was with Crowstar discussing who should go to the gathering. That was usually Heathertail's job but she was still in the medicine cat den with Kesterflight and now the new medicine cat Woodpelt. Darkkit's siblings were also bored. They were laying in the snow seeing who would get up first. Darkkit noticed a black she cat approach her and her siblings.
"Hello kits! My name is Nightcloud," the she cat meowed. *She seems friendly enough.* Darkkit thought. "Hi I'm Silverkit! That's Leafkit and over there is Sleekkit. The kit in front of you is Darkkit," Silverkit meowed pointing at each of her siblings with her tail.
"You look bored, do you want to play a game with me?" Nightcloud asked. "Yes please," Sleekkit meowed polity. "Okay great! The game I am going to teach you is called Sunset Wail," Nightcloud explained. " Oooo, sounds like fun! How to do play? " Leafkit asked. "Its really simple. I take you all to the same place one at a time. After I bring you there, you wait until Sunset and then you start wailing as loud as you can. The kit who wails the loudest wins," Nightcloud explained. "Cool!" Darkkit said. "But your eyes are closed when I take you," Nightcloud warned. The kits nodded, any thing to cure their boredom.
Nightcloud took the kits out of camp through the dirt place tunnel. At first Darkkit was a little skeptical until she realized that not every cat a half moon old gets to leave camp and play a game with a warrior. Nightcloud led the kits to a rabbit burrow and started carrying the kits one at a time with their eyes closed. After Silverkit, Sleekkit, and Leafkit went it was Darkkit's turn. She closed her eyes and allowed herself to be pick up by Nightcloud. The journey was scary because Darkkit had no idea where she was or where she was going. She felt Nightcloud jump and whimpered.
"Sorry it was large rock." Nightcloud's voice was muffled by Darkkit's fur. Suddenly Nightcloud put Darkkit down by a rock where the rest of her siblings were.
"Now remember wail as loud as you can at sunset then I will come and get you and tell you who wailed the loudest," Nightcloud explained one more time. The she-cat flicked her tail and was gone. *When they wail, Thunderclan will find them and Windclan will be free of those kits, next up is Leafpool,* Nightcloud thought.
Leafpool cried as she searched for her kits. Crowstar was helping her and ordering patrols to find his kits before it got dark. He noticed Nightcloud slipping into camp and approached her.
"Where have you been?" He snarled. "Hunting," the she cat answered coolly. "Really where is your prey?" Crowstar questioned. "The prey wasn't out, they were all in their holes and burrows," Nightcloud replied then walked into the warrior den.
Darkkit was cold. She was pressed against her litter mates to keep warm.
"Its sunset," Sleekkit meowed. The four kits started wailing into the sky. The wailed until the sun was fully set. "Nightcloud didn't hear us!" Silverkit wailed. "Or forgot us, " Leafkit mumbled darkly. "We are going to be stuck here all night!" Silverkit wailed again. Darkkit pressed her pelt against her sister's to calm her down. "Maybe this is part of the game," Darkkit meowed hopefully. "I doubt it," Sleekkit said. " I want Leafpool and Crowstar, " Silverkit meowed into the night sky. Suddenly the bushes rustled. "Nightcloud?" Silverkit meowed hopefully. Suddenly a big red shape to big to be a cat jumped out and snarled at the helpless kits. It bared it's teeth and prepared to pounce.
