The Rise Of Sun's Wing

Chapter Three

(The picture is how I think Pebblekit Looks like.)

Pebblekit flicked a nearby fly with her tail in anger. They had been in the nursery what had felt like for hours and even Littlepounce had fallen asleep. Sunkit was at the other end of the nursery playing with Splashkit, Smallkit and Shorekit. Mothkit was soaking in the sun at the entrance of the den and Pebblekit's little brother was curled up in a deep sleep in his nest. Suddenly Frozenkit's breathing quicken and her startled awake. 

"Are you OK?" Pebblekit shuffled up to Frozenkit. 

He stood up and pushed Pebblekit aside 

"Yes!" He exclaimed with an irritated voice

. He stamped to entrance and pushed aside Mothkit. 

"Where do you think you are doing!" Asked Littlepounce. 

Clearly she was awoken by the racket. Frozenkit had startled Mothkit and he looked twice his size as his fur fur fluffed up. Frozenkit bent his head with shame and stumbled back into the Nursery. 

"Sorry," He mumbled. "I just have to really go somewhere silent and with fresh air." 

Littlepounce answered, "Okay we'll go to the willow tree by the elder's den."

 Sunkit and Mothkit bounced up happily and shot out of the nursery. Frozenkit however look even more down at the news. He stalked out of the den and Pebblekit and then Littlepounce followed. They trotted over to the willow tree and almost immediately Sunkit jumped on to him as he pushed past the screen of willow stems. 

"Surprise!" Sunkit yowled. 

Pebblekit closely missed Frozenkit's ear but his claws still snagged his fur. 

"Hey!" Frozenkit screamed surprisingly. 

"What are you scared!" Mothkit teased him nearby.

 Frozenkit howled and charged at her. Mothkit tumbled over and huffed as he hit the floor. Frozenkit kicked with his hind legs before she could so anything. He then cuffed his ear and Mothkit howled. Frozenkit had his claws unsheathed! Frozenkit once again slashed his claws at Mothkit face and left a shallow scar. Littlepounce finally realised and sprinted up pushing the two kits away. 

"What in the name of Nightclan is happening!" Littlepounce exclaimed. 

"I just wanted to play and Frozenkit started attacking me with his claws unsheathed!" Mothkit whimpered. 

"What were you thinking!" Littlepounce demanded. 

Frozenkit looked up blankly and then huffed. "You don't understand!" And then ran away to the nursery. 

A shuffling noise could be heard at the entrance. The hunting patrol has arrived! Pebblekit ran out from the willow tree's curtain and watched her father entering the camp with freshkill in his mouth. Night and the other cats emerged from the leader's den and leaped down from the Valley ledge. The hunting patrol bristled as they realised the rogue in their camp. 

"It is fine Fallenbirch." Hailstar approached calmly. 

And the whole patrol bowed down their heads with respect to their leader. 

"This rouge had been found in our territory and he'd like to speak to me Nightfern, Whitefrost and one other cat." Hailstar finished. 

Night inspected the patrol in search of the cat he wanted to speak to. 

"Ahh Fallenbirch the brave warrior yes you are the one." Night slithered with his odd voice. 

The whole clan gasped as they realised he two mates had been chosen and that they had a connection. Whitefrost scampered up to her kits and stopped in shock as she realised the minor wound on Mothkit's muzzle. 

"What happened to you!" She exclaimed and rushed up to Mothkit and licked him up.

 Littlepounce separated the two to explain what happened to her sister.

"Stay safe little ones" She mewed softly and ran off into the nursery.

Sunkit huffed and sat down next to Pebblekit.

"We need to find a way to listen in to the conversation." Mothkit surprised his siblings after a long silence.

Sunkit bounced up and looked at him enthusiastically, "Yes! We have to come up with a plan!" She exclaimed.

"Stop yowling or else the whole clan may as well find out." Pebblekit hushed. 

Sunkit glanced around innocently. Luckily Littlepounce was to relaxed and bathing her self in the warm rays of the sun to realise anything around her.

"We have to find a way to sneak out and a way to hide in the leader's den." Mothkit whispered.

"I know. We can pretend to play with a moss ball and hurtle it over by the leader's den." Sunkit answered happily.

"We can then hide in the cracks of the boulders by the den." Pebblekit finished off the plan.

"Great! But now we must wait till they all get into the den. Then the plan begins." Mothkit meowed. 

The three siblings snuggled up by Littlepounce and warmed them self's with the mid - day sun. It felt like day till Whitefrost left the nursery but it might of been only heartbeats. Pebblekit watched her leave the nursery with a worried expression, clearly Frozenkit was too stubborn and hadn't left the nursery. Hailstar emerged from his den and called Whitefrost and Fallenbirch to his den.

"Right, Sunkit go get a piece of moss from the willow tree." Mothkit whispered.

Sunkit ran over to the willow and ripped out a large ball of moss and hurtled it at Pebblekit. She screamed with shock as she pretended to play. and when it was finally Sunkit's turn again she lung the moss ball across to the cracks of the leader's den. The littermates checked that Littlepounce was snoring soundly and sprinted off to listen in to the conversation.

They climbed the large boulder's by the den and found a nice large opening right by the entrance and  where they could hear everything perfectly. 

They made them self's comfortable and listened to the slithering voice of Night, "Thank you all for coming and what I have to tell you about is important and you all should be humbled by the fact that you ears witnessed the secrecy of these next words."
