Willowkit was bored. It was still a week until he became an apprentice. Willowkit just wanted to escape the confines of the camp, explore the forest, not be stuck in a small den with five newborn kits, and two other kits. Willowkit watched as Pyrokit batted a mossball to Jaykit, who hit it towards Willowkit. Willowkit just wanted to eat then sleep, get himself closer to being an apprentice, so he sent it flying towards Pyrokit While Willowkit contemplated who a good mentor would be, he tried to leave the nursery, but Flameblaze yelled at him to get back inside. 'Wow, Flameblaze is so bossy, he would be a terrible mentor' Willowkit watched as the elders were squeezed into the nursey and Willowkit realised 'there's an attack happening!' Willowkit ran to the entrance and sheathed his claws, ready to fight. As the ShadowClan cats entered the clan, an apprentice tried to run into the nursery, but Willowkit slashed at his face with his claws. "Go back to your own territory, ShadowClan scum!" Screamed Willowkit as he dug his claws into the apprentices pelt. The apprentice screamed in pain before running off toward a cluster of battling cats. Willowkit tried to retreat to the nursery, but a massive tabby was blocking the entrance. The tabby launched Willowkit, and he smashed into the walls of the medicine den. Willowkit, being forced into the battle, noticed the apprentice rear on him. Willowkit ducked when the apprentice launched at him. The apprentice flew over him as he kept low. Then, Willowkit whipped around and leapt onto the apprentice. Willowkit dug his claws further into his stomach, but the apprentice then kicked Willowkit off him. Willowkit was launched into the walls of the nursery, while the tabby walked over to the apprentice "Nightpaw, are you okay?" Seizing the opportunity, Willowkit ran back into the nursery, to sit out the rest of the battle, but unfortunately, there was a hole, right in the middle of the den. ShadowClan warriors were stealing the kits! Willowkit pounced on a warrior who was trying to take Jaykit, but the grey warrior just grabbed him to take him too 'StarClan save me!' Willowkit wriggled free of the warrior before running out of the nursery and launching on Nightpaw. Nightpaw flipped over and pushed Willowkit onto his back before ripping into his side. Blood spilt out of Willowkit's flank, as he winced in pain. He threw Nightpaw off him, before turning around to see the tabby, running towards him. The tabby landed on Willowkit, and Willowkit thought he was dead meat, but he opened his eyes, he saw Mudtail attacking the tabby! Willowkit chased after Nightpaw and grabbed his ear. Nightpaw screamed, before grabbing Willowkit's tail. Willowkit used his tail to flick Nightpaw into the wall of the apprentice den. Nightpaw dug his claws into the top of Willowkit's pelt. Willowkit broke free of Nightpaw's grasp and noticed the tabby had left the nursery entrance Willowkit staggered into the nursery, and saw Icekit being dragged into the hole, and grabbed a hold of him, but his grip was slipping. 'Sorry Icekit' he thought before sheathing his claws into Icekit's paw. Icekit's scream was extremely loud, and the warrior must have let go in shock. Willowkit unsheathed his claws out of Icekit's paw and tried to escape the nursery, however the tabby started blocking the entrance. Out of nowhere, Thrilltail barrelled toward the tabby, and knocked him off his feet. Willowkit ducked, and squirmed under the tabby, who was attacking Thrilltail. Willowkit noticed Darkheart being attacked by many apprentices, so Willowkit ran over to help. Willowkit pulled an apprentice off Darkheart's blood-stained fur. Darkheart attacked Nightpaw with a strong blow, sending the black apprentice flying. Another apprentice, this one blue, launched onto Darkheart's back. Darkheart flinched, and launched the apprentice off her, into Bobbyblaze's arms, who swiftly snapped the apprentices neck. Nightpaw screamed "Bluepaw! No!" and leapt onto Bobbyblaze's turned back. Bobbyblaze rolled onto his back, and Nightpaw was attacking his throat. Willowkit barrelled into Nightpaw, sprawling the apprentice on the hard floor. Willowkit's ears pricked, as he could hear the loud footsteps of a warrior running towards him. Instinctively, Willowkit stepped to the side and watched as the warrior jumped, flew through the air, and landed on Nightpaw. The warrior scrambled to his feet and lunged at Willowkit. Willowkit tried to duck, but his massive opponent anticipated his move and grabbed his scruff. Willowkit scratched and clawed at the warrior, but the warrior didn't flinch and dragged him into the nursery. Willowkit tried to grab onto the entrance, but the tabby yanked him into the hole. "Help!" yelled Willowkit, but no response came.
