CHAPTER 1 IS COMPLETE! YAY! Hope you guys like it and review please!
Moonkit's POV:
"Hey Moonkit, come and get me!"
My sister waved her tail at me tauntingly. Oh boy, she was asking for it. I wiggled my rump and sprang at her, reaching out my paws and grabbing nothing but air as my sister simply rolled away with a snicker.
I landed on my face, getting mud in my mouth and spitting it out on the grass. "Ew!" my sister whined, making a disgusted face and stepping back.
"Shut your face mouse dung!" I spat, as she haughtily trotted back into the nursery.
Unfortunately, the only cats I knew well enough to be around were all at home in the nursery so I reluctantly followed.
"Moonkit! What happened to your face?" My mother mewed worrily. I took this as a golden opportunity.
"Silverkit shoved me in the mud," I replied, putting on the best pouty face I could muster.
"Silverkit come apologize to your sister!" Dovefeather ordered, as the hairs on Silverkit's neck rose.
"Uh, I'm sorry for pushing you in the mud," she spoke, nearly tripping on her words.
"Good enough," Dovefeather muttered as she cleaned my face with her gentle tongue.
Firekit, Ashkit, and Lightkit entered the den with matching frustrated looks on their faces. Probably arguing. "Seriously Ashkit? Why do you have to be so stuck up!" What did I tell you?
The kits, so focused on each other, didn't even notice their father towering over them and ran straight into his large paws.
"What is it this time?" He sighed, staring down each kit one by one.
"W-We were just going to go play a game of moss ball with Silverkit and Moonkit in the twig hollow," Lightkit pipes up. Ashkit opens his mouth to say something but Firekit smacks his side with her paw discreetly.
"Alright, but no farther than twig hollow," He sternly tells them, all three nodding with grins as Firekit motions us to follow them. They bound off, Silverkit and I not far behind.
I knew we'd arrived when the clay roofing appeared above and the ground became crunchy every time we stepped. The twigs made my pads sore but I kept from complaining. If everyone else could take it, I could too.
We found Cinnamonpaw and Skygazer training in the small, dark tunnel.
"We didn't mean to bother you, we'll leave," Ashkit obliged, as he turned on his heel.
"Don't be silly, there's plenty of places for us to train, the hollow's all yours," Skygazer promised, as she and Cinnamonpaw walked off with their tails swishing.
When everyone turned to play the game, I crept off to follow the apprentice and her mentor. Twig hollow was boring, and I wanted to walk on soft, flat grass and take in all the new scents of the forest. Stormleaf had told us not to go any farther, but would it hurt just to look around?
I followed the scent trail of the two cats for a while until I lost it, overpowered by the reek of something unfamiliar. My paws landed in something sticky, and on my paws was the red substance I'd seen in my dream. Mixes of the strange smell and my own clan's scent filled my nose. Where were Cinnamonpaw and Skygazer, and what were they up to?
