AN: Sorry this took so long! Only one computer and it's hard to get on a lot. :3

Whoa, Mosspelt! Slow down, you'll find out before too long… :D

Bloodkit rolled around in one of the rare patches of grass just outside HalfClan's mossy camp. Just that morning, Sharpclaw had told her and the other kit's a story of a cat Spiderstar, who had been corrupted by his power as leader and made the clans fight bloody battles based on the lies he had spread. She imagined she was fighting him; if she didn't win, she would be killed before she could say 'fresh-kill.'

Rolling to her paws, Bloodkit hissed at her opponent and pounced. Her claws tore at his fur and bloodied her claws. She jumped back as he reared up, terrifying and huge. Undaunted, the brave Bloodkit hurtled herself into him, taking advantage of her small size. This knocked the wind out of both of them, and she struggled to get up while Spiderstar was still out of breath. She pounced again, aiming for the throat, but he easily threw her off. She landed in a patch of grass under a bush.

Once on her feet, Bloodkit crouched between the leaves and waited for him to come closer. Spiderstar strode over, and she leaped at him before he could sniff her out. But she had miscalculated the distance, and landed harmlessly a few mouse-lengths from his paws. He raised his claws and batted her away before she had time to regain her balance. She landed with an oomph! on a particularly hard patch of moss. While she lay there, waiting for her breath to return, she heard Mossfur and her kits returning from wherever they had got to while she was busy fighting Spiderstar. She sprang to her feet and looked about for them.

"Bloodkit! There you are!" Mousekit raced over to her. "You won't believe what we saw! A squirrel!" he went on, not waiting for her to guess. "Chasing another squirrel!"

Bloodkit's eyes widened. "Wow! I wish I could have been there!"

Hazelkit padded up softly beside her brother. "What were you doing, Bloodkit?" she asked with a hint of a sneer. "You're all dirty."

Holding back a hiss, Bloodkit glowered at her denmate. "I was busy," she replied and turned back towards camp, flicking her tail lazily in what she hoped was Hazelkit's direction.

It wasn't until she was entering the nursery that she realized her ear was bleeding.

AN: Sorry it's short; the next one is longer. ;3
