Lightkit's Kithood

[foxpool]

(is it alright if I control Lightkit's invisible parents? Because I'm going to do a bio on them later...)

Lightkit yawned and stretched in the early morning sunlight. Her mother was still asleep in the nest, so Lightkit moved carefully so as not to wake her. Lightkit stretched some more and licked a paw thoughtfully. What should she do today? She was almost 4 moons old! Of course, there isn't that much to do. I'm just a kit, Lightkit thought unhappily. Only two more moons, and THEN she'd be an apprentice, but for now she had to hold on until her kithood was over. Bounding outside the nursery, Lightkit stalked an old ball of discarded moss, pretending it was a mouse. Pouncing upon it, she gave a startled mew as it slipped out from under her paws. It moved several pawsteps, then a big black beetle wriggled out from beneath it, waved its antennae at her disapprovingly and trundled off with a scrap of moss clinging to its shell. Lightkit sat up from her hunting crouch and looked up. The fresh new leaves were budding on the tree branches, and patches of light and shadow dappled the camp. Lightkit decided to practice her tracking skills. She wanted to be the best apprentice that ever became a ShadowClan warrior!
Lightkit sighed as she padded back over to her mother. It was time for food.
"Please, mother, can I pick out my own fresh-kill? Yesterday you brought me a bird, and it was all feathers and bones! Yuck!" Lightkit mewed as Stormfeather stretched and walked out into the blazing greenleaf sunhigh. The grey and golden she-cat smiled at her and licked her ear affectionatly.
"Fine. Just not anything bigger than your belly!" Stormfeather called as Lightkit raced across to the freshkill pile and immediately started tugging a mouse out of the pile. It covered her face as she raced across the clearing, back to the nursery. Munching a giant bite out of the side, Lightkit protested with a stifled mew as her mother shoved her face in beside her and took a bite.
"Gr gumf mf smack!" Lightkit yowled at her. Stormfeather nudged her and Lightkit swallowed.
"Go get your own!" she mewled. Stormfeather looked up as Crowfoot came padding towards them, a squirrel dangling from his mouth.
"Hunting patrol just got back," he explained, "I though you'd want to share." Crowfoot's eyes twinkled at Lightkit as she tugged the mouse away from her mother. Gulping the last morsels of meat down, Lightkit stretched out and took a nap.
Not much else to do... Lightkit thought sleepily as she let the sun bake her fur to a pleasant temperature.

Quailpaw was watching a little kit near the nursery. Kits made her pelt tingle with joy that her beloved clan was growing. Padding over to the freshly restalked fresh-kill pile she took a vole from the top. Padding over to the nursery, she sat beside Lightkit. So when you finish that mouse do you want to go herb hunting? It'd be a good chance to get out of this ol' camp... Crouching down she took a bite of the vole, crunching its small bones with her sharp teeth. A cool breeze swept through the camp making her shiver, Quailpaw wondered were the sudden coldness came from. Finishing the rest of the vole off in a couple more bites, she rose to her paws and waited for the smaller cat to finish.

Lightkit joyfully chomped down her section of vole. Quailpaw had come to visit her! To top it off, she was going herb hunting! Actually going out of the camp!
Lightkit bounced onto her paws, tail fluffed out with excitement.
"All right! I'm ready to go!"

[|P`a`n`d`a|]

Quailpaw batted at the kit playfully and skurried out of camp, not waiting up for the smaller Lightkit. She was searching for Borge, Poppyseeds, and Lavender. Glancing over her shoulder she waited at a large pine tree. She knew that Lightkit would be able to find her so she hid in amongst the roots of a near by oak tree. When Lightkit passed her she planed on leaping on him. Quailpaw was going to make sure the little she-cat had fun today...

Lightkit padded out of camp, sniffing the air. Quailpaw had passed this way. She snuck around in the undergrowth. A big oak tree was completely covered with Quailpaw scent. Lightkit gently walked around. As she was coming around a large root, she came face to face with Quailpaw!

[|P`a`n`d`a|]

Quailpaw jumped up straight in the air when Lightkit came into veiw. Ok what can you smell? Quailpaw let out a amused purr and began to walk farther into the pines. I smell mouse and some other Shadowclan cats. What about you?

Lightkit took a giant sniff of the air, standing on tiptoe.
"I smell a mouse, some Clanmates...and...and...a dog-like smell, only weird-like. It smells really close by, too! What is it?" Lightkit froze as she spoke. The strange smell was strong, and out of the corner of her eyes, she saw something with orange fur and cold, green eyes and sharp fangs that glittered at her. Even though she'd never seen one, Lightkit knew instantly what it was.
"FOX!!!!!" she screamed.
