I replaced this chapter so that you guys can understand what exactly is happening. OwO The way it was originally didn't help at all. So, what I want you guys to do is to see if you can find a pattern... That's all I'm going to tell you. Once you end the chapter, I'll explain.

"Light is Fading and Darkness is Falling, but the Stars will Rise and end the Long Night."

Chapter 5:

Crunching Bones

The pounding of paws hitting ground filled the air as Mousekit and Jaykit pelted through the unfamiliar forest. Trees, bramble bushes, and rocks and boulders loomed in front of Mousekit. Hot breath singed her long tail; she dug her claws into the soft ground hoping they would help her avoid being eaten. Jaykit was a mouse-length ahead of her, and she was struggling to keep him in sight. Blood roared in her ears casting out every noise besides the pounding of her paws.

(What am I going to do? It's after me! Correction it's after us. I DON'T CARE WHICH WAY IT IS! HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM?! We are going TO BE EATEN FOR STARCLAN"S SA-)

"Waugh!" She yelped as her paw snagged on a rock. She awkwardly stumbled and rolled on the uneven forest floor, getting dirt in her fur.

"Rrrgh! Curse these stupid paws!"

A white snout loomed over Mousekit, its shadow pouring over her. Sharp fangs and pink tongue showed themselves as the fox cub opened its mouth.

Forest green eyes closed as Mousekit waited for doom.

(What are you doing?! Get up! I'm going to be eaten anyway…. MOVE!)

Mousekit darted out from under the fox cub and pelted towards the nearest tree. Claws dug into bark as she hauled herself up. The fox cub had been startled by her sudden movement but was on her tail again as she scrambled up the oak to the nearest branch. Acting fast, she dug her front claws deeper into the bark, and swung her back legs outwards slashing his face with her curved claws. The cub yelped in surprise and pain and returned his massive paws to the ground. Mousekit

swiftly climbed the oak to the lowest branch, only stopping when she was safe in the trees arms. She scanned the base of the trunk, everything from a strand of hair from a vole peeking around the fallen leaves from the tree across from Mousekit's oak to the largest line on the tree next to her popped out in stupendous detail. Everything was bright like sunshine reflected on a river's surface.
(Something's missing... Wait where'd the cub-)
"Waugh!" Jaykit's shriek pierced the air.
Mousekit's eyes lost their blue-white glow and returned to their normal forest-green color as she stared in the direction the noise came from in horror. Images of what could have happened raced through her mind at lightning speed, and she desperately pushed them away as fast as they came.
(Jaykit's in trouble! Jaykit's in trouble! Jaykit's in trouble! What do I do?! What am I supposed to do?! How do I get to him?! )
She whipped her head around, looking for a way to get down. The ground below her was so far down and only branches were in front, behind, below, and above her.
(How am I going to get over to Jaykit?! All of these stupid branches are in the—that's it! The branches! If I can just…)
Her eyes resumed their blue-white glow as her mind processed what she was going to do and how to do it. Slowly but surely, she shuffled to the edge of the oak branch, her tail the only thing keeping her balance besides her claws. As she neared the end of the branch, she looked down. Though she was filled to the brim with her new-found strength and confidence, when she looked down, terror coursed through her veins, turning them to ice. Her strangely keen vision became blurry for a few heartbeats, the ground swung towards and farther away from her, making her woozy. She tore her gaze away from the dizzying height and forced herself to look ahead, clearing her mind of all fear of falling. Only the thought of helping her older, and favorite, littermate pushed her to do what she did next.
Tensing her haunches, she focused on the branch in front, pin-pointing an exact spot on the branch to land. She closed her glowing eyes, driving away any negative thoughts still lurking in the farthest corners of her mind; until only one thought remained. Jump.

So...

Did you guys see the pattern?

Yes?

No?

Maybe so?

XD

Well, okay so this is it:

If you noticed when Mousekit is talking inside her mind, there are 3 different text changes.

Bold.

Underlined

And Italic

They all mean something. OwO

Bold= Me. She is the more aggressive voice in Mousekit's head that seems to like to pick fights with her.

Underlined= Myself. She's the smarter one who always tries to "break it up" when Me and Mousekit are arguing.

Italic= I. She does not appear often in conversations, but when she does it's to offer a piece of advice or tell the others something they cannot see for themselves (usually because they are fighting)

Yeah, so that's what's up. OwO

That was the pattern. Srry if some of you guys got disappointed there. It's nothing too.. extravagant. ^-^
