Chapter 21: Bad Idea&



A minute mewing resounded about the rather enlarged camp clearing, where many cats were at heavy work foraging for multiple species and leaves of wintergreen, dock leaves, brambles and thistle thickets, desperately trying to renew the home feeling in the new life for ThunderClan.

Inside the nursery den were two large, fluffy six moon-old kits that were eagerly awaiting the ceremony that was to occur later that day, during moonhigh.

Their excited and impatient calls echoed about the little den, and Wolfkit, a two moon old tom, was licking his paw boredly with disdainful glances towards the two, mewing huffily, Wow, youre becoming apprentices. Big, stupid, fur-ball of a deal! Everyone gets to be one. What you should be excited about is getting to be warrior and deputy! Even leader!

As his words rang in their ears, they pinned their ears flat and hissed dangerously at him, At least were doing something with our time, becoming a useful thing to the clan! Not some helpless liability like you, little kit!

Smokeykits foul words hit right on the spot; the angry and discouraged face of Wolfkit made his fur stand on end with pleasure, growling another warning, Remember your place in this clan, kit. We are of higher order, therefore we are your elders.

Owlkit, an ivory hued tom, added threateningly, Yeah, and remember that when we become warriors, that you will probably be our apprentices!

With a swift grimace, Wolfkit retorted violently, I am not that young, yknow! Ill be a warrior as soon as you, because I will be courageous and helpful and dangerous, all at once!

His words were cut short by a mocking sigh from Smokeykit, who cleared his throat and absently flicked his tail, meowing as tiredly as he could to his brother, Why must we live with these things all day? To think we lived this long with them in this nursery.



Throwing another ill-tempered and rude glance towards the tiny, bewildered kit, the two sauntered out and disappeared to become helpful to the warriors in front of him, though they were sent away without a moments hesitation, told to head back to the nursery, even though instead they went out hunting with Gorsepelt-he did not even know they had gone with him.

The blue and gray kit looked at his right forepaw-it held a large orange and blackish-brown smudge on it, part of his mixed heritage. His father was black, his mother roan, and somehow he had become blue with a mottled splotch on his paw.

He made a sour face and snorted inwardly at himself. No one likes you because you are a misfit and a piece of useless fox-dung that sits in the nursery all day! Go out and do something for once and maybe theyd chance a look at you once in a while!

His conscience took over and he thundered out of the den, where his two sisters slept with their mother, and ran out into the forest before any cat noticed him.







Outside of his warm, newly built clan camp, it was eerily quiet, as the sun began to lower itself to the western horizon, to his left.

He began shivering, though he noticed it was not at all cold in the middle of leaf-fall.

Quietly, he stepped gingerly from leaf to leaf, stone to stone, and padded hesitantly across the slowly darkening grounds.

Swiveling his large, rounded head from left to right, he pretended to act like a warrior, speaking to himself, Keep watch at all times, move fast, stand tall, tail erect, ready for battle& Of course he was doing the opposite of what any warrior should do; they were meant to be low and secretive yet he was technically leaping to the skies, signaling for a cat to come and find him.

Large, rounded blue eyes blinked in surprise as suddenly a shadow filled his vision to his right. He turned to the northeast, where he was sure the thing had been, but nothing was there anymore& If ever it had been there.

Clearing his throat, he swallowed nervously to realize his mouth was as dry as an autumn leaf.

He squealed in terror when he turned back to the north, for in his path was a treacherous looking beast that he had seen once before& The large, muscular shoulders and wide frame suggested some sort of crude heritage that had been made by Ebonfur& His gleaming ginger pelt of flame shone in the slowly darkening light, and the ebonite paws that slowly dissipated into nothingness from the shade foretold who this cat was, and why he should fear him.

The tom standing before him, with deep-set, foreboding emerald eyes looking the kit up and down, was Eaglestar.
