This is a rage update. A rage update is when a week goes by and no one reviews. It is fun to read new reviews. Is it really that hard to click the box and type a few words? Don't worry, I say that with humor.
CHAPTER 12
"What is that?"
Mistkit poked her head out of the nursery, squinting. She pulled away as something fluffy touched her whiskers.
Overnight, the camp had been covered with this fluffy white stuff.
"That's snow," Cinderheart explained. "It falls when it's cold enough."
Mistkit stretched out a paw. She was surprised when it pushed straight in.
"Yikes! It's cold!"
Honeykit leaped on top. "Hey, how come I'm not sinking in?"
"There's a layer of ice on top." Streak explained. "If you jump hard enough, you'll fall in."
Mistkit laughed as Honeykit plummeted through.
"It's freezing in here!" she shrieked.
Mistkit climbed up, avoiding the hole in the ice.
Honeykit struggled inside. "Help me!"
Mistkit crouched, planning to leap across the hole. The ice cracked beneath her as she plunged into the snow. She climbed out and shook herself off, an idea coming to her head.
"Want to play a game?"
...
The game was played with each kit trying to be the last one standing on the ice. All eleven kits were playing.
"Everyone ready?" Mistkit asked.
"Almost!" Flurry struggled onto the ice. "Okay!"
"The game starts...now!"
As Mistkit planned her strategy, she shuffled her paws. The ice cracked beneath them. She quickly moved away.
There was a squeal as Haykit fell through the ice.
"You lost!" Willowkit giggled.
The ice beneath Willowkit cracked, and before she could move, it gave way.
"That's what you get!"
Willowkit and Haykit began whispering. Soon, they burrowed beneath the ice.
The ice cracked beneath Olivekit and Flurry, who were standing nearby. They joined Haykit and Willowkit.
Mistkit knew exactly what they were doing. She made sure none of them got under her.
Honeykit yelped and fell into the snow. Olivekit laughed in her face.
Haykit screeched and stumbled out of the way as the ice collapsed beneath Stonekit.
Willowkit tore out the ice under Furzekit, leaving the two of them rolling through the snow.
Stonekit cracked the ice under Fuzzykit. "Hey!" she tried to move, but did not succeed.
Fuzzykit came after Mistkit. Mistkit screamed and darted away, making sure she was light on her paws.
Once she was safe, she looked around nervously. It was just her, Pumpkin, and Fuzz.
Fuzz fell on top of Flurry. Flurry struggled out from under her brother.
Mistkit stiffened. She and Pumpkin were cornered!
Olivekit, Stonekit, Honeykit and Furzekit came after Mistkit. Fuzz, Haykit, Willowkit, and Fuzzykit went after Pumpkin. Mistkit didn't see Flurry anywhere.
As Honeykit and Stonekit got closer to her, Mistkit slid across the ice, away from them.
"You can't catch me!"
Suddenly the ice cracked under her. Mistkit found herself beneath the ice. She hissed playfully at Flurry.
"I was so close!"
"Pumpkin wins!" Fuzz announced.
Mistkit shook herself out and congratulated Pumpkin.
"Nice game idea." Stonekit purred. Mistkit nodded.
Pumpkin jumped into the snow. She lowered her voice so that only Mistkit could hear.
"You did well to go unnoticed. That's what my strategy is. It was at the end that I thought I was done for, but then Flurry snuck up on you."
"Wouldn't the game be really easy if your fur was white?"
Pumpkin laughed.
"Why do we have to sleep?" Olivekit grumped.
"It's been a long day. Get some rest." Cinderheart ordered.
Mistkit had a fear of sleep now. It seemed like every time she closed her eyes she'd wake up in the Place of No Stars.
Mistkit thought everyone was asleep, but then she saw Rosepetal licking Fuzzykit, trying to get her to sleep.
When Rosepetal finally closed her eyes, Mistkit noticed Willowkit staring at her.
"Go to sleep!" Mistkit whispered, annoyed.
"I know why you don't want to sleep." Willowkit whispered.
"How do you know these things?" Mistkit challenged.
"Well, I know why I saw you kill Mapleshade-"
"Sh!" Mistkit glanced nervously at Streak, who was twitching her ears.
"And I know how you did-"
"Enough! Go to sleep!"
Mistkit's stomach jolted when she realized that Haykit's chest was rising and falling evenly with Honeykit's, and Furzekit's breathing matched Olivekit's.
"I know that Dovewing's-" Willowkit stopped. "I've given away enough information. Good night."
Willowkit kept her good eye on Mistkit. Mistkit growled and left the nursery, hoping to get some peace.
...
I love writing about kit games!
Willowkit, you are one of my favorite characters! Please stop being so annoying :(
Maybe if someone reviews, Willowkit will stop being annoying.
