BØØK TWØ--A Shattered Start

Chapter 5

     "Bluekit, talk again!" Fawnkit begged the next day. Bluekit let out a growl and shook his head. Fawnkit sighed and padded off the where Winterkit and Bonekit were playing leaving the quiet kit alone.

     Silverkit meanwhile, padded around aimlessly and looked up as she saw Thistlestar looking down at her.

     Silverkit looked back at the unfamiliar shecat.

     "Not to be rude, but who are you?" Silverkit asked. Thistlestar chuckled.

     "I'm Thistlestar." she purred.

     "Oh... Wait, you're the leader?!" Silverkit brightened up.

     Thistlestar laughed and nodded at the kit.

     "Woah..."

     "You have potential, little one" the shecat purred. She pressed her nose to the kit's head then padded off. Silverkit shivered in delight and ran back to her siblings excitedly.

     Bluekit sighed and struggled in boredom as Winterkit pinned him.

     "This is getting a bit boring," Bluekit said.

     "It is...?" Winterkit mewed, leaping off Bluekit.

     Bluekit nodded and shook the dust off his pelt.

     "Why don't we do something fun?" He mewed. Winterkit looked at him curiously as he trotted to the dirtplace tunnel.

     "What are you doing?"

     "Going on an adventure," he murmured bounding out.

     Winterkit dashed out with him.

     "Where are we going to go?" Winterkit asked.

     "I don't know... Somewhere." Bluekit mewed, dashing through the tunnel to the back of the camp.

     "Then let's go save Starclan's territory from the Dark Forest!" Winterkit said excitedly.

     "Ok!" Bluekit purred. He darted along the forest with Winterkit by his side feeling the soft moss and grass under his paws.

     "Wow!" Winterkit breathed when they haulted to a stop on the lake shoreline.

     Bluekit gasped as he saw a shadow on the edge.

     "Do you see that??" He asked.

     "Whats that black thing?"

     "It's a shadow!" Bluekit mewed.

     "Shadowclan's attacking!" Winterkit mewed.

     The two mothers watched their kits play around.

     "Snowsoar, is it just me or is something here missing?" Echostorm asked the white shecat, scanning the playing kits.

     "Yeah..." Snowsoar said nervously. Then it hit them.

     "Winterkit!" Snowsoar jumped up.

     "Bluekit!" Echostorm screeched, having Hollowthorn and Bramblefur come into the nursery, alarmed.

~#~

     "Quiet!" Bluekit hissed shoving winterkit into a bush. She yelped as thorn pricked her fur. Bluekit gave her an apologetic glance and crouched as 7 cats trotted forward with they're jaws parted open.

     "Should we run?" Winterkit whispered.

     "It'll draw attention. Your faster go sneak that way and find a patrol or go to camp ill try to hide here and possibly distract them." Bluekit whispered. Winterkit shook violently as darted off to save her clan. Bluekit glared at the shadowclan cats as more came.
