Warriors: The Rise of Moonfur

Chapter 20

~~~~~~~~~~Three Moons Later~~~~~Moonfur watched her kits play, they tackled each other playfully. "Frightkit! No fair! You can't unsheathe your claws during a play battle!" Fearkit cried, under Frightkit's grasp. "No, silly. I was just making sure I won!" She purred, leaping off of Fearkit. Fearkit stalked behind her, his tail low. The she-kit was by her mother, climbing over her white pelt. Fearkit smirked and pounced on the she-kit. Frightkit squeaked. "You cheater!" Moonfur purred with amusement. "Alright, you two. Guess what time it is!" She asked, picking up both kits and guiding them to her belly. "Apprenticeship?" "Are we going to explore outside of the den?" Moonfur shook her head, smiling. "Even better, you're going to get your collars today!" The two kits looked at each other and grinned. "When?" "Can I choose my own?" "Will I get dog teeth like you?" "Will Scourge come with us?" The curious kits asked multiple questions. The young mother just purred and licked both of their tiny heads. "You'll see."She took them both outside, where Scourge was waiting. "Ready to go collar-hunting?" The Bloodclan leader asked. The two kits excitedly nodded to their father. Scourge purred. "Good. So Moonfur, I'll take Frightkit and you take Fearkit?" Moonfur nodded. "Yeah, come on Fearkit!" She mewed, walking towards one of the dumps. Fearkit followed eagerly, prancing back and forth. Soon they arrived at the first dump. Moonfur leaped up and dived into it. Fearkit could hear the garbage rustling as his mother dug through it. After what seemed like forever, Moonfur's head popped out, carrying an orange collar. Fearkit grinned, his golden eyes widened. The young Cloudclan leader purred and placed the collar gently over his head as it ruffled his black fur. The tom-kit smiled and shook out his fur. The collar fit nicely, but it was a little loose so that he could have some growing space. Fearkit purred and walked around. "I love it! I love it!" He mewed excitedly, prancing around.Moonfur purred and took his scruff, bringing him back to their den. They met back with Scourge and Frightkit. Frightkit had a dusted pink collar. Fearkit purred and nudged his sister. "I like your collar!" Frightkit grinned. "Thanks! Your collar is cooler than mine though..."  Her brother shook his head. "No, I really like it." He purred. Frightkit purred with him. Moonfur smiled at Scourge. "How was she?" "Very excited and curious." He answered with amusement. Moonfur purred. "So was Fearkit." The two mates purred together as the kits play-fought again. Scourge nodded and walked outside of the den to hunt. Moonfur nodded back and watched the kits play, their paws swiping at each other. Soon she fell asleep.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~3 Moons Later~~~~~~~~Moonfur yawned as she woke up. She could hear Scourge mewing something... "And so before you get your warrior names, you shall be known as Frightpaw and Fearpaw!" She then heard the clan cheering. "Frightpaw! Fearpaw! Frightpaw! Fearpaw!" The Cloudclan leader smiled and walked outside, watching her kits with pride. Each of them had one dog tooth in their collars. They both stood up straight, holding up their heads with pride. Then they saw their mother and rushed over to her. "Thank you for helping us accomplish this!" Frightpaw purred. Moonfur dipped her head. 'I'm your mother, what am I supposed to do?" She purred and licked both of her kits as Scourge watched them from above the dump.
