Ravenkit tumbles over her mother squealing in delight. It had been four moons since they had been found, and Ravenkit had fit it nicely. Creamtail watches her kit carefully as she talks to Thistlestar across the clearing by his den. Ravenkit sneaks up behind her new best friend, Rabbitkit, and pounces on him knocking him over playfully. "Gotcha!" she yowls triumphantly as he struggles to get out from under her.
"Get off me you big lump!" he squeals pulling himself free with a humph. Ravenkit back up a few steps so he can shake the dirt off of himself. She twirls in a circle happily. "I finally caught you!" she trills happily and nudges his shoulder. "Oh don't be mad at me..." she bounds away to her mother. "Mama when can i be an apprentice?" she asks hoping she didn't have to wait very long.
"In two moons," Creamtail replies smiling at her small daughter, "so not too much longer. Now run along and don't get under any cat's paws." Ravenkit huffs and bounds back over to Rabbitkit. "I have to wait two more moons!" She looks around and gets an idea as she looks at Thistlestar and the bushy area around him. "Let's make an ambush on Thistlestar," she whispers to him. "We can come up behind him in the bushes and pounce." She purrs at her brilliant idea and twitches her tail for Rabbitkit to follow her.
She stalks behind the row the bushes careful not to step on a twig. She can hear Rabbitkit moving behind her and she twitches her tail for silence laying it across his muzzle. She tiptoes behind the bush she had seen Thistlestar laying in front of. She wiggles slightly pouncing out and landing on soft grass. She shakes her head, Rabbitkit landing next to her. "Where did he go?" She wonders before a large shape pounces over the top of them. She squeals and cowers before realizing it was Thistlestar sneaking up on them as they had to do to him. He laughs and Ravenkit purrs getting to her paws and twining between his paws. "You heard us didn't you?" She blinks up at him with humor in her eyes. He nods and looks at Creamtail with a smile. I wonder what's going on with them. Ravenkit thinks to herself.
"You have yourself a very skilled huntress, Creamtail," he laughs, "she may be ready for her training sooner rather than later." Ravenkit opens her eyes wide and looks at her mother, "am I gonna be made an apprentice right now?" Creamtail shakes her head and purrs, "not just yet."
