WindClan's Fright: Brave Again

Chapter 1

No one's POV

Moonkit ran in circles, trying to escape her littermates as they chased after her. She squealed in delight as her twin, Swiftkit, jumped for her tail, making Moonkit trip and fall over. Her other littermates, Pepperkit, Oceankit, and Whisperkit, jumped onto her and Swiftkit grinned.

"We got the fox!" She yowled in delight.

"Kits!" Their mother called, and the moon-and-a-half-old kits ran to her.

Oceankit looked up and spoke the words that were on all five kits' minds. "What is it, Lilyshine?" he asked.

Lilyshine looked at her smallest kit. "Your father wants to meet you."

Their father, Thistlestripe, had been sent on a journey the day after they were born with Liongrowl and the medicine cat Larkwillow. They went to find catmint, because with leaf-bare coming up, Larkwillow couldn't find any so they went farther away. He had gotten back yesterday but had been too tired to see his kits.

All five kits squealed in delight and sat down so their mother could groom them. (Haha that's a miracle XD)

A gray tom with amber eyes and four black stripes down his back, and one on his muzzle, came around the corner. Pride shone in his eyes and he leaned over to sniff them.

"Hello, little ones," he said.

Moonkit's POV

My mother pointed to me with her tail and whispered quietly to her mate. "Her name is Moonkit, just as you wished. Her twin is Swiftkit. The sandy one is Whisperkit, the calico is Pepperkit, and finally the blue gray one is Oceankit. I'm surprised out of five I only had one tom." (Oceankit is a tom :P I know, its weird but its weirder to have five she-cats in the same litter)

Oceankit straightened at the sound of his name and looked really proud of himself. Swiftkit rolled her eyes at Oceankit.

"Show-off," she whispered into my ear. I giggled and Oceankit turned and glared at us. We acted like nothing had happened, and he sighed, looking annoyed, and turned back to Thistlestripe, who had an amused gleam in his eyes.

Thistlestripe looked at me and Swiftkit. "So, do you guys like being twins?" he asked. We both nodded. Although there were the other three kits me and Swiftkit were twins. We were born at the same time, we were exactly the same height, and although her spots were black and mine were gray, you could still tell we were twins. We liked the same things, we barely ever fought, and we were both very swift for kits.

There was a cry of pain and we turned to see Turtlestream writhing on the floor of the nursery. Lilyshine quickly called out.

"Larkwillow! It's Turtlestream's kits!" The gray she cat ran in some herbs in her mouth and sat down beside the kitting she-cat.

"Take the kits out," Larkwillow ordered in a muffled voice. Thistlestripe nodded, herding the kits through the entrance while Lilyshine grabbed a sturdy stick and lay it in front of Turtlestream to bite on when she felt pain.

~~~ ~~~ ~~~

After a few hours Lilyshine walked out of the nursery to a silver tom who was pacing back and forth.

"Silverjump, you have four beautiful kits! Three toms and a little she-cat!" she said with a soft voice.

The tom's eyes widened. "C-can I come see them?" he asked.

Lilyshine responded, looking amused. "Of course! They're your kits, aren't they?" He nodded enthusiastically and hurried into the nursery.
