Mistykit rolled onto her back as Pebblestar knocked her over. He used a paw to pin down Whitekit. "Yes. He was excited to live as a rogue." Pebblestar answered Adderfern's question still playing with them.
"Why?" Mistykit's mother asked the leader.
"He-" Pebblestar was cut off as the three other leaders leapt onto the highrock and yowled at the same time.
"Pebblestar! I need you and Gooseface in my den." Stonestar yowled. He leapt off the rock followed by Fernstar, and Greystar. Their deputies followed as they went into Stonestar's den. Bluestorm walked away from a group of cats she was with and padded into the den with them.
"I'm tired!" All the kits complained at the same time. They were pushed into the nursery for their last nap in camp.

Mistykit squirmed around. "Hold still! It's hard to carry a worm!" Hissed Hawktail. Adderfern came over and grabbed Mistykit plopping her by her brother.
"Don't hiss at her." Pebblestar defended the kit, he picked her up in his jaws. A ginger Riverclan queen padded past with her kit trailing behind her. It looked at Mistykit and whispered something to his mother and she stopped to look up at Adderfern. "Are you okay, Hazelclaw?" The leader asked his clan mate.
"Yes. Ripplekit wants to play with your kit. Is that okay?" Hazelclaw asked.
"Yes, that's fine. This is Mistykit, I'm Adderfern." She said.
The two kits were pushed together by their mothers. Mistykit hit her head on his chest. "Hi......"
"Hi......"
Mistykit cuffed him over the ear and sprinted towards the front of the group. She dodged the cats easily. She stopped and waited for the group to catch up. What she didn't know was that Ripplekit was sneaking up behind her. She whipped around and tackled him. "Next time sneak up from downwind." She told the older kit.
"I knew that! But that's the way you were facing and you would've seen me." He retorted. He pushed her off him with his hind paws. "Wanna play clan? I'm leader. Your a rogue. Let's see if Shadekit and Cinderkit, from shadowclan, want to play too!" He added bounding over to a grey and tan bundle of kits. Ripplekit said something that made the two kits clawing at each other stop. They bounded over to Mistykit joyfully. "Shadekit is going to be a warrior and Cinderkit is going to be a leader. I'm a rogue and your deputy." He told Mistykit.
As they started playing the clan started coming closer. Groups of cats started hunting and the kits all shared a mouse. Nightwing's kits came over with Mistykit's brothers and joined in the game. Blackkit was a rouge with Ripplekit, Redkit, and Birchkit. The rest of them were in the clan. Sometimes they mimicked the older Warriors, pretending to make the long journey as Warriors. Mistykit tackled Blackkit from behind and then they both wrestled until they were near a cliff. The other kits were back with the clans. "What is this? Where's the clans?" She asked worriedly.
"It's just a ravine. Don't worry. I bet I can get down faster than you." Blackkit challenged puffing out his chest.
"I bet you can't!" Mistykit retorted stepping forward. "I can get down in one le-" The ground beneath their paws gave way and they plummeted into the ravine hitting the ground hard. Blackkit screeched as he hit into a thorn bush and cut his back leg open. "Help!" Mistykit shrieked. She looked around the hollow. There was moss in the corner. She led Blackkit over to it and made him lay down.

Back to Adderfern's POV. ;)
---------------
Adderfern's tail drooped with tiredness. She trudged on with the clans. "How far do we have to go?" She sighed and suddenly pricked her ears. "Stonestar!" She hissed to her mate. "Can you hear that? Mistykit!" She gasped.
"Silence!" Stonestar yowled and almost at once the cats fell silent. The leader pricked his ears and listened closely.
"Help!" Mistykit was yowling. It was quiet. "Blackkit is injured!" She yowled.
"My kit!" Adderfern and Nightwing mewed together. They raced towards the sound and stopped where the ground gave way. A thorn bush had blood and fur on it.
