The Plan

"Icekit! Icekit!" Icekit spun around, to see her brothers, Hawkkit and Silverkit, and her sister Dawnkit racing toward her. She ran up to them and greeted them by the same curt nod Brambleclaw gave Firestar. "
Stop, acting like your a warrior!" teased Hawkkit, as he noticed the same nod warriors gave to Firestar.
Icekit shuffled uncomfortabley embarrasment swept through her like fire. "Anyway" she meowed, "What did you want me for?". "Oh, yes! I already forgot!" squealed Dawnkit. "You forget nearly everything within a heartbeat its said!" joked Silverkit, giving her a friendly nudge. She hissed playfully and jumped onto Silverkit, knocking him over, flicking up clouds of dust as they tussled. "Anyway" Hawkkit began, glaring at his siblings before saying, "Since they are too busy fighting like newborn kits, So ill tell you, I saw you pounce on Brambleclaw, and I have never seen such a powerful jump! That could of knocked Firestar himself over!". Icekit raised her head proudly, letting his complament sink in before meowing "It was nothing really, I was just having a little fun". "Fun?" Hawkkit meowed, surprised. "If that was for fun,
Im wondering what you'd be like if it were real!". Dawnkit and Silverkit overheard Them talking about it, and started to trot towards them. "Yeh! you were really something, tackling Brambleclaw like that!" meowed Silverkit. "Yeah, that was brilliant!" purred Dawnkit. Icekit rose to her paws and stretched before purring "Dont be too surprised! We are nearly apperentices now!". Then she shuffled closer and whispered "I really cant wait another moon to to outside the camp, so when all the warriors are out of camp, im going out exploring!". They all gasped, before Hawkkit meowed "You cant do that! Its the warrior code!". "Well, im not staying cooped up in this place" she retorted. "Besides, even you couldnt disagree that you'd rather be outside, in the open, than waiting another moon in here!". Hawkkit let out a long sigh before murmering "Well If you wont change your mind, im going with you, because watching you be punished by yourself is just not fair". Icekit licked her brothers ear in thanks. She turned to look at her other siblings. "Well im up for an adventure, whatever the cost!" decided Silverkit. "What about you, Dawnkit?". They all looked at Dawnkit expectantly. She shuffled uncomfortabley before meowing "Okay then, i'll go with you". she meowed bowed her head, greatful for her brothers and sister's loyalty to her. "So, when do you plan to leave?". That question broke her thoughts, then she raised her head and replied "Well I was thinking now".Hawkkit dipped his head before saying "Very well then lets go". Dawnkit and Silverkit dipped there head in agreement. "Hurry, because all the patrols will be back soon!" exclaimed Icekit. Silverkit padded over to the enterance and meowed "Quickly! Squirrelflight is over at the fresh kill pile, and Ferncloud is snoring louder that Hawkkit!". Hawkkit growled at him before saying "Well, lets go then!". They all padded quietly up to the nursery enterance. "Hey, where are you going?" called a voice. They all froze and spun around to see Nightkit standing a tail length behind them, curiosity burned in his eyes. "Oh, nowhere!" said Hawkkit, quickly. Nightkit narrowed his eyes before meowing "There is no need to lie to me"."Nightkit!" purred Dawnkit, trotting up to his side. "Where only going out of camp-". Silverkit had slapped his tail over her mouth to stop her saying anymore. Nightkit's eyes widened before saying "Your going outof camp? Why?". Hawkkit sighed before leaning closer and whispered "Can you keep a secret?". Nightkit let out a long hiss of disapproval, and his fur bristled, "Of course!".Icekit knew that wasnt true, Nightkit always tell's Ferncloud if they even stick their noses out the nusury without permission. "Well, we really cant wait to be apprentices, so we are just going hunting", meowed Icekit convincingly "Well, i'm telling Ferncloud, and she wont be happy with you!" meowed before he turned around, Hawkkit sighed before saying "You can come with us if you keep your trap shut!" Nightkit's eyes lit up with delight, and meowed "Ill come, but when are we going?". Hawkkit licked his chest fur before replying "Now".
