Mosskit opened his eyes. Today, they would conquer the mountain that laid ahead of them. It was the only way to return home. What was past the mountain? More mountains? Meadows? Forests?
Ginger yawned and opened her eyes. "I see you're already up," she laughed.
Mosskit nodded. "I must be getting used to waking up at dawn now."
Ginger nodded. Snakekit still slept in the grass. Her black tail was curled around her nose.
"Snakekit," Mosskit said.
She removed her tail from her nose and opened her eyes. Her bright green eyes sparkled. "Is it morning already?"
Mosskit nodded. "We're going across the mountains today," he said.
Snakekit groaned.
"Snakekit, we have to complete this journey," Ginger said.
Snakekit nodded. "Alright, I'm up," she said, rising to her feet. "Can we eat first?"
"There's really nothing here," Ginger replied. "Once we get into these mountains, I'll see if we can find something."
"Okay," Snakekit groaned.
The two kits padded behind Ginger as they entered the mountains. Mosskit felt the hard rock beneath his paws. He struggled to hold onto them as he began to climb.
"Mouse!" Snakekit gasped. Before anyone could reply, she leapt, catching the mouse between her paws. She stuck her claws in it, killing it.
"Very good, Snakekit," Ginger said.
"Would you like to share, Mosskit?"
Mosskit nodded. They sat on a ledge, eating the freshly caught mouse. Mosskit smiled, his stomach not as empty as before.
"Back to work," Ginger snapped.
Nodding, the two followed her up the rocky hill. Mosskit gasped as some pebbles slipped beneath his feet.
"Careful where you step," Ginger warned. "It's very rocky here."
Mosskit nodded. Snakekit struggled too, but was better at climbing then Mosskit. She knew exactly where to place her paws. She knew which rocks were steady, and which rocks weren't steady.
Snakekit gasped, as she suddenly lost her footing. She grabbed onto Ginger's tail. Ginger let out no sound. Snakekit gasped, hanging from Ginger's tail. Ginger turned around, accidentally whipping Snakekit into some rocks.
Snakekit gasped, letting go of her tail. A rumbling came and Mosskit gasped as some boulders were about to come down right on Snakekit.
"Move!" he hissed.
Snakekit leapt to the side. Mosskit winced as the rocks tumbled down between him and Snakekit. Thick dust clouded the air, trapping Mosskit in a cloud of dirt, unable to see anything. Mosskit coughed loudly.
"Snakekit!" he yowled.
"I'm okay!" a faint few came from the other side.
