Chapter Eleven
Snowkit starts for the camp entrance only to get stopped by Wildlily. The dark golden she-cat doesn't look mad, just annoyed.
"And were do you think your going?" she asks, Snowkit looks up at the older warrior confused.
"I'm just-" he stops himself from finishing, hanging his head. "Sorry Wildlily, I forgot…I'm still a kit." He mumbles turning and padding away tail dragging across the sandy ground. He'd gotten so used to going wherever he pleased when ThunderClan was on Sunningrocks. He'd been able to say: Going to RiverClan camp! And then he'd tag along with Redpaw and Sandypaw when they went hunting. Now he was back in ThunderClan's camp? As far as Snowkit's concerned this ISN'T a camp, at least not their old camp. Now he's stuck as a normal kit confined to camp, even though he's eight moons old.
Stalking off Snowkit pads over to where Dustpaw is helping Roseflame rebuild the elders den. "Can I help?" he asks, half expecting a grumpy retort from Roseflame but to his surprise she just flicks her tail.
"The more paws the better," she mumbles grabbing another bramble and beginning to twine it in with the other brambles.
"He'll just get under paw!" Dustpaw hisses to his mentor just loud enough for Snowkit to hear, Snowkit growls. I'm only three moons younger than you! He glares at the eleven moon old apprentice, though his glare soon fades and Snowkit takes a few steps back. Watching Dustpaw, in slight jealously, slight awe. You can clearly make out the dusty colored toms strong muscles as he bends down to pick up another bramble tendril. He'll be a warrior soon! Maybe even before I'm an apprentice! Snowkit twitches his tail, the grumpy brown tom hasn't gotten any less grumpy since he became an apprentice, and Snowkit can't even imagine how bossy he'll be once he becomes a warrior. He'd better not try and boss me around! Though Snowkit knows that as soon as Dustpaw or any of the apprentices become warriors he'll have to do exactly what they say. I can't imagine Redpaw ordering me to do something like check the elders for ticks and me having to do it even though were the same age!
Deciding Roseflame and Dustpaw will be better off without his help Snowkit scans the camp searching for any sign of Sorrelpaw. Of course he doesn't spot the brown and white apprentice, probably on patrol! Snowkit thinks in annoyance, but since none of the other apprentices are in sight he pads over to Fuzzykit, Thornkit and Lightkit. Waterwish and Leafpaw brought Lightkit back only yesterday but the tan she-kit and her littermates are already causing trouble.
"Do you think we should put the tick in Dustpaw or Roseflame's nests?" Fuzzykit is asking, Thornkit's eyes gleam in excitement.
"I vote Dustpaw!" he exclaims, Lightkit shakes her head.
"No way! Roseflame, she's the one who bosses us around any way-" Lightkit looks up sheepishly at the sight of Snowkit. "Hi Snowkit!" she exclaims innocently. Snowkit narrows his green eyes,
"Why are you putting a tick in-" Snowkit starts,
"Tick?!" Thornkit yowls, shaking his head. "Were not putting a tick in Roseflame or Dustpaw's nests…never in a million moons would we do that!" he adds quickly. Snowkit frowns,
"I never said anything about Roseflame or Dustpaw." He meows narrowing his eyes even more. Lightkit whispers something to her brothers before padding forward, she leans close to Snowkit until their pelts are brushing.
"Were just having some fun were going-" Snowkit cuts her off with a sharp glance.
"I will not allow you to put a tick in Dustpaw or Roseflame's nests! Or any other cat for that matter!" he growls his gaze traveling from Thornkit to Fuzzykit to Lightkit. "Do you understand?" Fuzzykit nods though he looks unhappy. Thornkit looks scared of his older denmate but Lightkit flicks her tail crossly.
"Your no fun anymore! Your as grumpy as Dustpaw!" she yowls turning tail and racing back into the nursery, Thornkit and Fuzzykit shrug before following their sister. Snowkit sits in front of the nursery for a few moments, Lightkit's comment ringing in his ears. Am I really that grumpy?
Snowkit glances towards the nursery, Lightkit's comment has token a tole on the white tom. Not just because he fells protective over the tan she-kit because of what Cloudfoot had asked but because it has gotten him thinking. Many cats, at least the younger warriors, apprentices and kits don't really like Dustpaw since he is so grumpy and Snowkit is beginning to wonder if he himself is grumpy. Snowkit glances towards Sorrelpaw, the brown and white she-cat is sitting alone outside the nursery her gaze fixed on the gorse tunnel. Snowkit bounds over to her,
"Do you think I'm grumpy?" he asks causally. Sorrelpaw looks up at Snowkit her whiskers twitching,
"Why?" she asks. Snowkit shrugs,
"Just wondering..." he meows trying not to hid the fear in his voice. He and Sorrelpaw have become very good friends in the past few sunrises since the fire. Of course nothing more than friends like Redpaw thought, but what Sorrelpaw thought of Snowkit really mattered for some reason. "So?" Snowkit presses after a few moments, Sorrelpaw laughs.
"Of course not mouse-brain!" she exclaims her blue eyes glistening with laughter, Snowkit breathes a sigh of relief. Lightkit was probably just mad! He thinks calmly though her stinging remark is still echoing through Snowkit's mind. Shaking out his white fur Snowkit sits down beside Sorrelpaw, the brown and white apprentice has gone back to staring towards the gorse tunnel.
"Expecting someone?" Snowkit guesses though he's unsure who Sorrelpaw would want to see, Sorrelpaw's gaze flickers towards him.
"No...Its just-" Pigeonpelt's voice cuts Sorrelpaw off, the gray tom is entering ThunderClan's camp a squirrel in his jaws. Sorrelpaw gets to her paws,
"Pigeonpelt..." she purrs padding towards the newly made warrior. Snowkit's heart twists but he just nods to the gray warrior before padding away. "Snowkit!" Sorrelpaw calls but Snowkit doesn't look back. Sorrelpaw has a right to be with Pigeonpelt! Who would like a stupid weak kit like me? Besides were just friends...just friends...Snowkit sighs tucking his paws under his tail he watches as Lionstar pads from his den. ThunderClan's leader bounds onto hindledge his gaze washing over his Clan. Snowkit frowns, I wonder what this is about...Snowkit thinks as Lionstar yowls the famous words.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under hindledge for a Clan meeting!" I'm old enough to catch my own prey but no one will let me! Snowkit thinks crossly as he pads over to sit beside his mother, Daylily's eyes are shinning and she looks as excited as a kit. Snowkit just shrugs at his mothers odd behavior and turning to look up at Lionstar. "Though we are struggling to rebuild our camp and restock our fresh-kill pile and keep enemy Clans away from our territory ThunderClan is strong and we will prevail!" he yowls,
"THUNDERCLAN! THUNDERCLAN! THUNDERCLAN!" the Clan chants.
"Well duh! ThunderClan's the best Clan to be in!" Fuzzykit squeals from outside the nursery, Tansylight glances sharply at her son. Lionstar on the other hand purrs,
"This young one is smart we should make him a warrior!" he teases. Fuzzykit's blue eyes grow wide as he stares up at his Clan leader in awe.
"Really!" he exclaims,
"No!" Lightkit retorts. Murmurs of amusement echo through the hollow, Snowkit can't help but smile at Fuzzykit's excitement and Lightkit's fiery temper. Lionstar clears his throat and all eyes turn towards him,
"As I was saying, ThunderClan is strong and I'd like to do something to make it even stronger..." Lionstar's gaze turns towards Dustpaw, Sandypaw and Sorrelpaw. Snowkit's heart sinks, there becoming warriors! He snorts and pads away, no point in me staying! But Lionstar's next words make Snowkit stop in his tracks, "Snowkit its high time you became an apprentice. Please step forward," I'm becoming an apprentice! I'm becoming an apprentice!
"Its about time," Twistedtail murmurs to Bramblesong.
"It sure is he's way to big for the nursery!" Hollyshine comments to Willowheart, so with his Clanmates praise in his ears Snowkit turns towards Lionstar and takes a slow step forward.
