Chapter 3
RainKit woke up cold. He sat up and shivered. Then he realized he was alone. SnowFur slipped into the nursery.
"Oh hello RainKit. Glad to see your awake. Come on outside. We need some help." He nodded and followed SnowFur outside. The brisk morning air slapped him in the face as he exited the nursery. He saw LilyPelt next to the entrance weaving branches through the weeds that was the nursery. A tortoiseshell she-cat was doing the same on the other side of the entrance. RippleKit was no where in sight.
RainKit turned to his mother.
"What are you doing?" He asked her. She finished the last stick she was weaving before answering him.
"We are weaving sticks in the wall to keep it warmer." she exclaimed. "Now go to the elders den with your brother and help him get more twigs." RainKit nodded and raced across the clearing to the elders den. He was about halfway when he had to stop and catch his breath. RippleKit emerged with a mouthful of twigs from the fallen tree. RainKit was going to call out to him, but stopped when the white she-cat from yesterday appeared next to his brother. She said something to him and he nodded vigorously. She turned away and he ran toward the nursery. RainKit caught up to him.
"What was that about?" He asked.
"Thee mwanfs to rake uff imto da thorst." RippleKit replied through a mouthful of twigs.
"What?I can't understand you," RainKit exclaimed. "Let's run the rest of the way." Both kits ran toward the nursery. When they got there, they were both out of breath. RippleKit dropped the twigs at LilyPelt's feet. And turned to RainKit.
"She wants to take us into the forest!"
Oh the forest! Wonder what will happen there? Dun Dun Dun :) Thanks for reading! Please Subscribe!
