.x.Exploring.x. (Nettlekit!!!)

[Ashkit]

Ashkit poked his head out of the pines and into a wide open space, his sapphire eyes taking a while to adjust. It had taken his mother forever to fall asleep! He was beginning to feel like she would never have. As he crept out into the open area, his wide, kit-like eyes focused on a shinning surface to the left of him. So that's what the lake looks like. He though, padding closer to the lake's shore. Ashkit had only heard stories about this, during which he had been completely fascinated. So after he had heard the stories, he planned to explore the ShadowClan territory while his mother and siblings slept. Well, most of them that is.

"Nettlekit?," He hissed quietly, turning his head away from the lake's surface to look for his sister. She hadn't gotten lost had she? Of coarse, Ashkit could have come on his own...but doing something like this seemed like it would have been more fun if he shared it with someone else. Now it seemed like it was a bad idea. What if she had gotten attacked by something? Or someone had seen her? The silver kit pushed the ideas to the back of his mind and continued to stare at the pines. Nettlekit was to tough to get lost...and had to much of an attitude to get caught.

(Mind if I join,?)

A solid black kit with not very clear vision snuck through the pines. Her small white paws where touching nothing but soggy ground and pines. Since her site wasn't as good her smelling and hearing sences over powered. Nighkit was following the trail of her brother and siter, Ashkit and Nettlekit. She knew where they were judgeing by the excitment coming off of them in waves. Her black and white figure crept through the undergrowth. She smiled when she caught sight of a grey pelt. She pushed off of her hind quaters trying to unbalance her brother. She leapt into the air, hoping to land lightly on his shoulders.

[Ashkit]

Ashkit landed with a thud on the muddy shore, letting out a small laugh. "Thanks for that Nightkit," He laughed, gently pushing his sister off his back. He turned back to the lake, his sapphire eyes still shimmering with wonder. "It's everything that Mom said it was," He meowed, mostly to himself. He turned back to his sister and smiled. "Can you see the surface bounce off all of the light?" He knew Nightkit couldn't see well. That gave him all the more reason to bring her along. If she couldn't see all of it that well, he would see the rest of it for her.


(not at all =])

[foxpaw]

Nightkit giggled as she knocked her brother to the ground. She loved to feel warm and fuzzy inside, excpecially when she did something right. Nightkit squinted her eyes. "I see the beautiful blue waves lapping at the surface,"Nightkit purred. She smiled revealing her small white teeth. She sat down and drew her pink nose over her soft white paws. "Hey, where is Nettlekit,"Nightkit asked. She then scented the air for her favorite brother, Silverkit. He had always helped her but lately he had been disappearing.

[Ashkit]

Ashkit's sapphire eyes flickered back over his shoulder curiously. "I'm not sure..." He admitted. "She was right behind us...maybe she stopped to make dirt." He laughed and turned back to the lake, the effect of the first sight starting to wear off. "Hey!," He meowed, suddenly surprised. "There's the island where the gatherings are held!" The silver kit's eye widened as he stared at the plot of land in the middle of the lake. "So many cats have been there..." He wanted so badly to go check it out...but there was a better chance of them getting caught, especially by a RiverClan patrol. Of coarse, Ashkit would have gone if it was just him. RiverClan had nothing on him! But he had his sister with him....and he couldn't risk her getting hurt. He would never forgive himself if anything happened to her.

[foxpaw]

"Hey lets explore the territory, we will make up our own clan,"Nightkit yowled. She then ran over to a small stump and hauled herslef onto it. "I am Nightheart deputy of Shadeclan . The newly named Nightheart ran over to Ashkit. "I now name you, Ashstar, leader of Shadeclan,"Nightkit yowled. she then trotted over to some moss. quickly she snagged it up. she rolled it into a ball and tossed it to Ashkit. Then she backed up and scented the air. A tangy smell hit her nostrils. It smelled a lot like a vole but, stronger and nastier. Nightkit knew she could smell better than her brother but, she also thought he might could smell this yucky animal.

[Ashkit]

Ashstar...he liked it. The silver kit let out a playful growl as he batted the moss ball back to Nightshade. Shadeclan would be the best clan in the forest! Especially because he was never afraid to explore the area. It was only then did he noticed the look on his sister's face. The one she usually had when she was concentrating...Ashkit scented the air, coughing as a bitter scent stung his nose. "What is that?!," He growled, drawing his paw over his nose to erase the smell. "It's awful!"

[no badgers now...we're not at that part of the plot yet...]

[foxpaw]

Ooc;; I know it wasn't a badger;;

Nightkit bounded after the moss her new warrior name clinging in her mind. Her small pink nose wrinkled in digust as the ball of moss rolled into a sticky goo. Nightkit let out a yowl of disgust as she almost slipped into a small pool of green. Thinc bushes of thorns clung around the bush. Nightkit scented the air. On the thorns she could scent the faint scent of Foxpaw and Spottedfire. "Ashstar, look it's the poison that Twilightstar got in, and Fxpaw and Spottedfire covered it up,"Nightheart yowled to the Shadeclan leader.

[Ashkit]

Ashkit's sapphire eyes widened in alarm, all traces of humor gone. "Night get away from that!," He hissed, the fur on the back on his neck rising. If she went to lick her paws, it would be all over. "That stuff is deadly!," He warned, his sapphire eyes still wide with alarm. "It didn't kill Twilightstar but it can kill us. We're to small to handle it." Rooting up from is stiff posture, the silver kit ran to roll up a ball of clean moss that Nightkit could wash her paws off on.

When he returned, he tossed the moss ball at his sister's paws, making sure not to get close enough to the goo. "Wash your paws," He meowed, his voice still strung with worry. Usually, he would have played something like this off but this was serious. If Nightkit accidentally licked her paws by accident....Ashkit shivered at the thought.

[lyra]

Nightkit felt her fur rise with alarm. Quickly she began to rub her small white paws. As soon as the goo came of she let out the breath she had been holding. "Thanks Ashkit,"Nighkit said as she rubbed her muzzle along his back. A purr rose from her throat. "What would I do without my big brother,"Nighkit said fliking her brother's ear with her white tipped tail.

"Let's go on a hunting patrol,"Nightheart hissed. She quickly led Ashstar in the direction of a mouse. "I will get the mouse why you go and try to get that vole thats under the roots of the pine tree,"Nightkit hissed lowly. Nighkit could heare the low sniff sniff of the mouse under the roots. Even though her brother couldn't hear it she could. She quickly stalked forward copying the crouch Foxpaw had taught her. Quick as a bird she lashed her claws out and ihit the mouse in the head. But, it didn't die. Nighkit pounced on it and sank her claws into it's body. Soon enough it died. "My first kill,"Nighkit hissed lowly.

[Ashkit]

Ashkit smiled and laughed slightly. "I would rather not think about it," He replied, his sapphire eyes glittering with amusement but his voice somewhat serious. Nightkit was the youngest out of all of them, it was his job to look after her. And if anything ever happened to her, Ashkit would hold himself responcible. Whether it was uncontrollable or not, it was just how he was.

He laughed quietly and stalked forward with Nightshade, pausing as she crept toward the mouse. His sapphire gaze turned over to the vole she had pointed out, his stomach growling slightly. He hadn't eatten in a while...The silver kit crept forward, keeping his belly low to the ground like the apprentices did. A little too low though...

A small russle under his belly sent the vole running towards the pines. Shoot! Ashkit shot forward, his paws pounding against the ground as he tried to catch up to his escaping prey. He felt himself catching up as the vole squaked and darted through the undergrowth. Finally, the vole dove down into a hole, but Ashkit wasn't about to let his first kill get away. He lept after it, his paw shooting down into it's hole. He managed to hook his claw around it's back leg as it turned and bit him at the same time. The silver kit let out a growl and janked the vole outside of it's hole, finishing it off with a swift bite to the neck.

Ashkit pulled back his paw and examined it. Not to bad He thought, slightly pleased. He would have liked a mark to show his efforts, but this would do. The silver kit picked up the vole and ran back to Nightkit, a purr rumbling in his throat. "That wasn't so hard," He meowed, placing the vole down at his paws. What it had been was exhilerating. Sneeking up on his prey, it hearing him and dashing away, all of it! His blood pulsed unevenly through his veins, a grin creeping onto his face. "Good job to you as well," He noted, flicking his tail to his sister's mouse.

[lyra]

Nightkit purred at her brother's response. She turned to look at her brother. Her round eyes starring at her kill. She scented the air, her eye stretching wide as the scent of blood filled her nostrils. Nightkit sneezed. She followed the scent trail. Se opened her eys to see the soft bloody paw of Ashkit. "Ashkit,"Nighkit wailed. Quickly she began to lick the blood from his paw. Soon enough she vanished through the undergrowth and returned with a mouthfull of a plant. She chewed it into a pulp and placed the stubborn cobwebs that ckung to her paw onto his wound. "I guess thjoses lonnely days with Solsticeflight pays off,"Nighkit said humor in her voice.

[Ashkit]

Ashkit laughed and nodded as his sister fixed his paw. "I would think so," He replied. The sliver kit smiled down at Nightkit as she continued to fix his paw with some herbs and cobwebs. "Don't go over board though," He snickered. "It's just a little bite wound...and I would kind of like to show Nettlekit when she gets here." His first kill definatly had some bragging rights.

[Lonehowlerz]

"Well I don't wont it infected, I want you to be in tip top shape when you become an apprentice,"Nighkit said happily but, you couldn't miss the sadness in her voice. Nighkit felt her heart race. What if I can't become apprentice because of my sight, Nightkit thought. Nighkit felt a pain shoot through her. He eye began to swell. What if she was sent to the elders.


xXxOoc;; No muse at moment...xXx

[Ashkit]

Ashkit growled and cuffed her sister's ear with a sheathed paw. "Don't you even start getting depressed," He hissed sternly, batting her on the head with the same paw. "Just because your eyesight isn't as good as everyone else's doesn't mean you won't be an apprentice." The silver kit's sapphire eyes flickered over to the mouse Nightkit had killed and back to her. "I don't see Nettlekit with a mouse," He countered, before his sister could say something negative. "Or Silverkit. And I had problems catching this vole." The things his sister could think up irritated him. She was just as good as the rest of the litter! Why couldn't she see that...
