Jayfeather pov
It was the full moon and the gathering had just ended, Shadowclan accused us for hunting on their territory, what a bunch of mousebrains, who in the right mind would want to eat mud and toads.
"LIONBLAZE"
He whirled around to see Briarlight talking to Lionblaze something about kits, open, adorable. Jayfeather assumed by the excited feeling in Lionblaze yowl, his kits has finally opened their eyes .
Jayfeather sprinted after his brother just in case he knocked down anyone who was in his way to see his kits. As he emerged through the brambles he smelled two new scent mingling with Lionblaze.
" Jayfeather meet Marigoldkit." as he felt something shoved under his nose, and felt a pair of tiny paws pawing against his nose.
"So what's the name of the other kit"
" We wanted you to name our kit, since you did save their lives. "
Briarlight gushed " they're so cute, especislly the one with the silver eyes."
He smiled as he felt another kit battling with his tail. He thought for a moment Silver eyes huh before he meowed "Moonkit."
...
Moonkit pov
Marigoldkit and I are officially four moons old and not the youngest in the nursery, I can't wait until Stonekit open his eyes, then we can finally boss someone around.
"MOONKIT"
"Amberpaw" she meowed in delight, they had been best friend since she had opened her eyes.
" How was your hunting"
"It went great a caught two mice a rabbit and a vole, isn't that great?"
"That's fantastic." but she couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
Her best friend meowed" Don't worry you'll be an apprentice in no time."
"But I want to be an apprentice now, I want to hunt and fight and protect the clan from danger, I want-
"Sorry Moonkit but I gotta go Icecloud is calling." before she scampered off.
She sulked and padded back towards the nursery before she heard something interesting, very interesting.
"Bramblestar" Foxleap meowed. Bramblenstar walked towards the dawn patrol, "Shadowclan has been trying to cross the border again, and it is getting more violent, Toadstep got seriously injured from the fight." Jabbing his tail toward Toadstep, who was currently being carried towards the medicine cat entrance.
"This could be a problem, we'll make sure they get the message next time, but for now go and get some rest." Foxleap nodded before padding to the warriors den.
Shadowclan huh, doesn't sound so scary, I'm sure I can beat them with no problem.
She spotted her sister Marigoldkit and padded towards her and meowed" I think I just found us an adventure."
"This can't be good." Marigoldkit muttered.
"Have a little faith, Marigoldkit."
" What is it this time. Catch the moth, catch stray tail of warriors, We shouldn't do that remember the trouble we got when we caught Dustpelt's tail."
"Nope, none of those kit stuff, we are going" Pressing against her sisters ear "Fight Shadowclan."
Marigoldkit yowled " ARE YOU CRAZY, WE WOULD GET IN SO MUCH TROUBLE."
Moonkit quickly shoved her tail into her sister mouth before the whole clan know about their plan.
"Soooo? You comin?"
Marigoldkit spat at herbefore growling " Of course not, are you nuts."
" Nope, I'm serious. And if you are too scared to go and protect the clan then I'll go on my own."
Marigoldpaw snorted "Ha, you're the kit who was scared of a dead mouse, like you are going to fight Shadowclan."
Moonpaw felt rage flooded through her and she glared at her sister " Just you wait I'm going to prove to you that I'm brave."
Marigoldpaw rolled her eyes before padding away from her psycho sister.
She thinks she's so good. I've got it all planned out. I'm going to go out at midnight and charge catch those Shadowclan cats and beat them.
Midnight soon approached and almost everyone in the clan was asleep. Only Cloudtail was awake to guard the entrance.
She quickly darted through the dirtplace and into the woods. It was the first time she had ever set foot out camp, so she had no idea how to get to Shadowclan.
Just follow the scent that reeks with toad and mud.
She padded in a random direction only to get more lost. "Maybe this was a bad idea." She muttered.
As she padded further the trees gradually turned into pine. This does not smell like Thunderclan. Suddenly she heard a voice "I smell Thunderclan."
Her eyes widened and quickly scampered into a bush, which turned out to be a thorn bush. Ouch.
" Owlclaw, Starlingwing, Viperpaw, go search to see if there are any Thunderclan cats are here." Her heart beated wildly as the three cats padded around checking thoroughly for any signs. Her entire body stiffened as the cats drew closer to her hiding place.
"Well there doesn't seem to be any Thunderclan here." One of them muttered. "Stupid old cat's nose is failing him."
She sighed in relief as their footstep got further and further. She quickly felt the pain on her toe where the thorn had stabbed her. She slowly started to detangle herself, nor realizing a single cat has returned to fetch his prey.
Moonpaw's eyes widened when she saw a Shadowclan cat right behind her. Her body went completely frozen all she could do was stare. The tom stared right back at her with his red and green eyes.
Silence engulfed the entire clearing. Finally the tom padded towards her. Moonpaw squeezed her eyes shut and braced for the worst. But the blow never came; instead the tom was helping her detangling the thorns for her.
"You should be more careful, you know ." meowed the tom
" I'm sorry." She meowed automatically.
He sighed "You're detangled. Now go on and run back to Thunderclan. Owlclaw might come back."
Moonpaw stared at him not believing what she had just heard. The tom rolled his eyes just go straight ahead and you're back to Thunderclan, mousebrain. And you might want to roll on some foxdung, you reek with Shadowclan."
Moonpaw nodded muttering a quick thank you and darted away.
Moonpaw quickly smelled the familiar scent of Thunderclan. She found a patch of foxdung and rolled on it as the cat instructed. She settled down near a bush and let sleep overtake her.
I'm going to get into so much trouble after they find me.
And she did.
