The day was warm today. The air was small.
"Come on, Nightkit!" Amberkit screamed. Three moons have passed since Flowerfloght adopted Nightkit. Nightkit left the nursery, barely rested. He had a calm face, but inside he felt anger and despair. He couldn't forgive his parents for giving him away. Nocek limped to "his siblings".
"Let's party!" Stagkit suggested waving his tail on the sides. Nightkit clung to the ground as if he was going to hunt a mouse.
"I agree." Goldenkit squeaked sticking out claws. Nightkit attacked first. However, Amberkit stood up to fight with him. Nightkit lightly patted Amberkit with his paw. Amberkit gave him back, but just like Nightkit. Using its advantage, Amberkit attacked Nightkit and pinned him to the ground.
"Now you have no chance to beat me!" Amberkit hissed with contempt.
"Pathetic!" Jaykit commented walking towards them. Nightkit took off Amberkit with his hind legs and quickly stood up, shaking himself.
"You're not kits anymore. We are to become apprentices today." Jaykit reminded them.
"Well, Twistedkit you still play games for little kits?"
Nightkit showed his fangs to Jaykit, but he regretted it later. Jaykit snorted.
"It looks like yes."
Nightkit decided to avoid Jaykit's mocking gaze.
"We want to have fun before our ceremony." Goldenkit explained. Nightkit was furious with the mean tomcat.
"Hm, I see." Jaykit replied, although Nightkit felt as if he was not talking to him only to the kits of Flowerflight.
"May I join you? " Jaykit asked friendly who still had a crazy smile. The siblings meowed to agree.
"I'll go for a walk." Nightkit quietly hissed who tried to sound friendly.
"Okay, but be careful. " Amberkit murmured. Nightkit stared straight ahead. Tornjaw was marking patrols. Swallowstar has been weaker and exhausted lately. So weak that Tornjaw had to replace him at the gartherings. Nightkit narrowed his eyes when he noticed Tallleaf holding a scythe in its mouth. Nightkit decided to ignore his old father. He started toward the lair of the elders.
"Squeakysong are you sleeping?" Nightkit asked, bravely entering the old cat's lair.
"I'm awake!" Squeakysong huffed. The old she-cat changed a lot until Nightkit started accompanying her more. Sagewing said that he is already ill and that she is not as strong a cat as she used to be. Loneliness destroyed her inside, so that's why she became dry.
"Are u here for something? For more fairy tales?" Squeakysong unfriendly hissed. Nightkit shook his head quickly and sat down in front of Squeakysong. The she-cat looked into his eyes without any emotion.
"I wanted to visit you. Because I'm going to be a apprentice today!" He muttered proudly. Squeakysong was not that thrilled though. Her eyes were pale and the pride and joy of the old feline faded.
"I'm not interested in that." Squeakysong commented furiously. Nightkit got used to the new Squeakysong which nevertheless irritated.
"Do you have anything else to say?" She asked calmly. Nightkit wiggled his ears.
"Probably not.."
"So get out of here and let me rest!" Squeakysong snorted, avoiding Nightkit's eyesight. Nightkit just sighed and left the lair. He spotted Darkclaw talking to Briarlight. Nightkit already felt like apprentice. However, he also felt resentment.
