Chapter 2
"What is this?" RainKit asked his brother as they stood outside the clump of weeds next to the nursery.
"The Warriors Den." They kits spun around to see a small white cat. She looked at them with clear blue eyes.
"Hi. Sorry if we're in your way." RainKit blurted. He wanted to be the brave one for a change.
"No problem. What are kits like you doing out here? It's getting cold."
"Were exploring!" RainKit squeaked. He wondered why his brother was so quiet. He looked at RippleKit, and to his surprise RippleKit was looking at the ground, shuffling his paws nervously.
"Well you should be getting back. I don't want you two to get sick." She said. RippleKit nodded and ran off toward the nursery.
"I don't know what's up with him," RainKit told her. "He is usually the talkative one."
"That quite alright. Now run along." RainKit nodded and ran into the nursery after RippleKit. He found his brother rolling a moss ball under his paw.
"What happened to you back there? You were quiet." RainKit asked sitting next to his brother. RippleKit passed him the ball. RainKit pounced on it and passed it back. RippleKit stopped it with his paw.
"This is the second time we've been treated like helpless kits. We're two moons old. We can take care of ourselves." He tossed the ball back to RainKit. He grabbed it with his mouth. And set it in between his paws.
"I talked to LilyPaw about the apprentices yesterday and she said everyone takes turns. Right now it's our turn to be cared for. Then it will be our turn to train. Then it's our turn to protect the clan. We have to be patient and wait for our turn to be done." RainKit explained. He poked the ball back to RippleKit. "I'm tired. I'm going to sleep." He curled up onto his moss and fell fast asleep.
Wow. Big words for little kits. Thanks for reading! Please Subscribe!
