Hi again peoples! This chapter was written by my co-authoress, Darkstorm Mistystar's Legacy.
L…i…l…y…k…i…t
"Tigerkit?" meowed Lilykit quietly. She nudged her sibling who was still
asleep beside her. That was one of the worst things about being joined to
your sibling - when they wanted to do one thing, you always wanted to do
another, and when Tigerkit was asleep, which he often was, it seemed that
Lilykit was always awake
"Tigerkit!" she meowed louder, poking him hard in the forehead. Tigerkit
mumbled and opened his eyes, blinking.
"What?" he grumbled, getting to his paws.
"It's morning, mouse-brain. I wanted to go exploring," Lilykit mewed.
Tigerkit glared at her. "And I wanted to sleep."
"Too bad," replied his sister, pulling him out of the nursery. Lilykit
had been waiting for her brother to rise for long enough, just itching to get
out of the den.
"I wanted to go talk to the elders," Lilykit meowed, trying to lead her
brother in the direction of the elders' den. Tigerkit growled and moved the
other way.
"I want to go see the warriors den," he replied. Unwilling to give in to
her brother's stubborn tugs, Lilykit continued on her path - Tigerkit
continued on his. They ended up stumbling lopsided into the medicine den,
out-of-breath and glaring at each other.
"Great, look where you've taken us now, Geniuskit," grumbled Tigerkit,
but there was no meanness in his voice - he was looking around the medicine
den with interest, as was Lilykit.
"What are you two freaks doing here?" came a mocking hiss. Lilykit
noticed Scorpionkit crouched in a corner, the medicine cat bent over him,
trying to tug out a thorn that was lodged between his toes.
"Scorpionkit! That's no way to talk to your den-mates," scolded
Opaldream. The pretty white she-cat gave another not-so-gentle tug and the
thorn came out of Scorpionkit's paws.
Scorpionkit licked the pad for a few moments and took the herbs that
Opaldream gave him, and then stood and stalked past Tigerkit and Lilykit.
"Freaks," he hissed in Lilykit's ear. She flinched, clenching her jaw
and gripping the ground with her paws.
Opaldream watched him go with a sigh. "I'm sorry, Tigerkit and Lilykit.
Scorpionkit is just a bit full of himself. I'm sure he'll come
around."
Tigerkit frowned. "Yeah right."
"So, what were you two here for?" Opaldream meowed, sitting down in front
of them and curling her white tail around her paws.
"Nothing really," Lilykit mewed, trying to edge out of the den.
Just then, Avalanchestar entered the den behind them. He was a large white
tomcat with blue eyes.
"Hello Tigerkit and Lilykit. Are you sick?" he asked, glancing at the
two kits.
"No," replied Lilykit in a small voice, in awe of the huge warrior.
"Good. Now, Opaldream, I was coming to discuss…" he looked between
Opaldream and the kits, his eyes full of an unreadable emotion.
Opaldream nodded. "Yes, of course." She turned to Tigerkit and Lilykit.
"I think that you two should probably go - Avalanchestar and I have some
Clan business to discuss."
Lilykit nodded, backing out. Tigerkit paused, but followed a second later.
"Come on, let's go to the elders now," Lilykit meowed, trying to push
Tigerkit in the right direction. But her brother hung back.
"No, wait, let's listen," he meowed, making Lilykit sit with him. She
gasped.
"Tigerkit! We can't listen in! That's not…right!" she cried,
appalled.
"Quiet!" her brother hissed. "I can just hear them…"
Avalanchestar was saying, "…that prophecy. I've just been thinking
about it. Two in one, mind of two: Tiger Lily shall search for star, and save
the Moon. Well…it means Tigerkit and Lilykit, doesn't it?"
