Runningkit woke to the soft sound of crowing in the distance. She stretched out, still on her belly. She stood up and arched her back. Runningkit blinked the tiredness out of her eyes. She looked at the she-cat with no kits. Had her kits died? This was probably not the case, she would be sleeping in the warriors den. But she was fatter than most cats. Perhaps she was expecting kits. Most likely. Runningkit turned to Flowkit. She still hadn't opened her eyes yet. Then again, she was still sleeping.

Runningkit sat in her nest. It was a little past dawn, and the sun was beginning to rise. She turned around to wake up Brownkit. She poked his side with her paw. "Brownkit, Brownkit wake up." She half-heartedly whispered.

"What?" Brownkit exaggerated.

"Wanna go outside and play?" Runningkit asked. Brownkit got up and stretched.

"Yea alright." He bounced up and started to run outside. Runningkit followed quickly. Brownkit was running around and with Runningkit hot in pursuit, she leaped onto his back, making him tumble over. Brownkit rolled onto his back and Runningkit skidded on her paws. This gave Brownkit time to get up onto his paws. He dashed at Runningkit and knocked her over onto her side.

An apprentice walked out from the apprentices' den. He was large for an apprentice. But he wasn't quite the size of a warrior. The apprentice eyed Brownkit and Runningkit. Brownkit jumped onto Runningkit. Runningkit kicked Brownkit off with an enormous amount of strength in her hind legs. Brownkit landed with a huff. Runningkit got up and puffed out her fur, making her look twice her size. She unsheathed her claws to make her look even more fierce. "Wow Runningkit, you look like you're fighting a ShadowClan warrior." Whitestar was watching from his den. Runningkit glanced at her father quickly but kept her stance. Brownkit got up, covered in sand.

The apprentice was still watching them from the apprentices' den. He was impressed by the two. And Runningkit was determined to be the best warrior ThunderClan has ever had. But that didn't mean ruthless killing, a warrior does not need to kill to win a battle. But some ruthless cats don't believe in that law, that was for sure, but Runningkit knew that was wrong of them she would never kill a cat to win a battle.

Later that day, Flowkit opened her eyes for the very first time. Her eyes were green like Stripedtail's. It was concluded that Runningkit was the only one with her father's eyes, a dazzling yellow, actually, she was the only one who resembled her father. She was one of a kind in her litter, and definitely special. When Flowkit got used to seeing the world, she played outside with Forestkit. They tossed around in the sand and got dirty when they came into the den once again. It was about sunset by that time. Stripedtail told us a story about how the clans first came together. About Thunderstar, the first ThunderClan leader, Shadowstar, the first ShadowClan leader, Riverstar, the first RiverClan leader, and Windstar, the first WindClan leader. After that long story, Brownkit, Runningkit, Forestkit and Flowkit all went to sleep.

Early that next morning, it was chilly outside, and leaves drifted across the camp and fell from the trees. Stripedtail told us leaf-fall was coming, which would mean the leaves would fall from trees and the air would get cold. But it also meant prey would get scarcer, but she told us that we don't have to worry too much until leafbare, when all the leaves are gone and the snow comes, that is also when prey is most scarce. But that is two moons away at least.

Runningkit woke up Flowkit to see if she wanted to play with her. "I don't know, Runningkit. Don't you think it's a little early for that?" Flowkit complained.

"Common' Flowkit!" Runningkit nudged her sister.

"Let me sleep!" Flowkit rolled over with a humph.

"Please Flowkit?" Runningkit pleaded.

Flowkit sighed and paused. "Fine." She said after a while.

"Yay thanks!" Runningkit nearly toppled over a misplaced kit out near the entry. She stepped over Petalkit carefully. Flowkit followed her out into the low light of dawn.

"Okay so you've missed a day of training, but I'll catch you up." Runningkit said like a warrior would say to its apprentice.

"Training? We're not apprentices." Flowkit questioned.

Runningkit rolled her eyes. "But what would we do if a warrior from a different clan came into the nursery and we could do something? We would fight 'em off!"

Flowkit completely understood now. "Oh okay, I got this! Teach me some of your moves Runningkit!"

Runningkit crouched down like she was getting ready to spring. "Well there are no names for them, but I will show you what I know!" Runningkit ran towards her sister. Flowkit prepared herself to be attacked. She leaped forward but Runningshadow jumped up in the air and landed on her sisters back. Flowkit let out a humph when her sister landed on her, smashing her to the ground.

"Get off!" She ordered Runningkit. Runningkit got off her sister quickly, not wanting to suffocate Flowkit in the sand.

"Do you think you could do that?" Runningkit asked.

"Oh yes!" Flowkit exclaimed. Without warning, Flowkit rushed at her sister and jumped on her back.

"Oof!" Runningkit tried to squiggle out from underneath her sister. "Good job! With that speed you can catch a full-grown warrior by surprise!" Flowkit got off Runningkit and puffed out her chest, proud of what she did.
