October Christmas

The little she-cat was laid out luxuriously on the ground outside of the nursery, revealing her glossy gray belly fur. Above her the butterflies flitted around joyfully in the greenleaf heat. Her honey brown eyes watched the warriors working hard in the clearing, the kits playing in the shade and the elders sharing tongues by their den. but it was to hot to be leaping around in the dust like a crazy hare. What idiot would do that? She sneered, watching as they play fought. Yuck. She sat up and began to wash her soft fur for the tenth time that day. In this heat she needed to stay cool and pretty. A great combination.

Dovepaw wouldn't be training today. One of his aggressive outbursts had gotten him stuck with nothing fun. It was the standard apprentice work but much more in one day. The work seemed even worse with sun beaming harshly on his fur. With diligence he would finish early and retire to his den. He stopped at the well stocked fresh kill pile to deliver some of it to the elders before grabbing his own rabbit. Kits had it easy but they couldn't taste fresh-kill until they were almost apprentices. With the thought of the nursery he turned towards it an noticed a kit with pale tabby fur washing herself. With the rabbit still hanging from his jaws he walked over in front of her. He placed the rabbit down close to his paws in a manner suggesting he had no intent to share. "It's weird for a kit to not be playing around with the others. Are you sick? What's wrong with you?"

Pawsteps jolted her from her thoughts and she looked up crossly to see Dovepaw with a rabbit in his jaws. What does he want now? "Ew. I'm not sick. It's just way to hot to be 'playing'. Not that I'd be doing that anyway," she mewed, gesturing towards the tumble of other kits. Whilst she waited for him to reply, she began to wash her white dusted fur. Soon it would be the silkiest in the clan. When she was done, Sweetkit looked up. "Are you still here? Don't you have... Training or something to do?"

The reason he even was able to talk to this kit was because he was punished. Her question set off anger for him as it reminded him I why he wasn't making any progress. "No I don't I have training, I'm helping my clan instead of doing nothing like some cats. All the fur in your head must be clouding your thoughts," His tone was raised in aggravation but it was more aggravation for himself that he was taking out on her. It was hard for him to control himself sometimes but he knew he shouldn't take it out on anyone."S-sorry for that," It took a lot of willpower for a stubborn cat like Dovepaw to admit things."You're old enough to have some, if you want," He pushed the rabbit toward her a bit but not much in case she rejected it. This kit seemed a different from the others.

She scowled at him as he mewed furiously at her. Who does he think he is? I can't help my clan if he hasn't noticed. I'm just a kit. To her surprise, he apologised almost straight away. She blinked her pretty eyes at him and sniffed, "No worries". When he cautiously pushed the rabbit towards her, she scooted closer. "Okay. I'll have some". For the first time in ages, she felt a purr rising in her throat. This is actually kinda nice... Just chilling with a clanmate.

Sweetkit scooted close to the rabbit.So she'll have some then... suddenly, Dovepaw heard a purr from the kit, which was unexpected to him. He was happy he was able to smooth things over and that she was a little happier too. Feeling more comfortable, he laid down shifting more in to the shade, not feeling too hungry yet. "You know, having some fun every once in a while isn't so bad. You only get to be carefree for so long," he mewed.

As she took a bite of the succulent meat, her brown eyes darted towards the tom. He was watching her eat and she looked away. I don't want him staring at me whilst I eat. How gross. When she was done, he mewed something about being carefree. As if. I'll be carefree forever thank you very much. No cat will ever be in charge of me, no matter how strong. but not wanting to be rude, she nodded. "So. What are you going to do now?"

[October Christmas]

Dovepaw blinked his blue eyes and let a barely audible purr out. "Hmm... What are we going to do now?" The tom began to think and voiced his ideas as they came. "I could teach you what little warrior moves I know, we could play moss ball or hide and seek, or..." he stressed out the "or" part before finishing his thought " We could do some exploring" His voice had dropped to a whisper as he said it with his eyes now on the entrance. Dovepaw had only recently become an apprentice and right now it showed.

She purred in pleasure as he suggested leaving the camp. Now this is more like it. Nodding, she got to her paws and stretched. Her honey-brown eyes flicked towards the entrance to the camp, glowing with excitement. The she-cat flicked her tail to signal that she would lead before bounding towards to entrance and out without checking if Dovepaw was following. Who cares? I'm better off without him. She scooted into a clump of grass just outside the camp, her pink nose twitching. No cat's I'd say... I think its safe to go on.

[October Christmas]

Dovepaw watched as the she-cat flicked her tail before bounding out of camp. He got up and shook himself fiercely before he ran out of camp in a creamy flash of fur. His eyes observed the green lushness of what lay so close to him as he searched for Sweetkit. Picking up her scent as he swiftly padded over to her hiding place. "Its pretty obvious you're there to any cat who can smell. You look like a gray fur ball stuffed into the grass." he whispered softly, before turning opposite of the entrance, "We should go," he said with irritation. His tail and whiskers twitched with impatience as his eyes narrowed.

[nomstar]

She scowled as Dovepaw barged into her hiding place. "Just shut up" she muttered, following him with a mutinous glance. The gay kit padded slowly behind him, when she suddenly decided that she didn't need him. Slowly creeping away, she bounded down the hill. Great.  Now I can travel without him cramping my style. She padded through the lush grasses and whilst the sun shone down upon her. She stopped to lick the moisture from some leaves before padding away. Finding a nice shady spot she sat down. Where's Dovepaw? Pssh. It's not like I care about that fuzzball. but as the time went on she began to feel a nagging feeling inside of her. Where is he? Am I lost?

[October Christmas]

Dovepaw was never able to grasp the concept of being patient. Though he had seemed sour it was his way of being excited to explore in a way. He heard Sweetkit mutter something but didn't know what she said and decided not to ask. he continued walking "So where do you think we should go?" he said without an adjust in a pace. Not hearing a reply he began to turn "You don't have to igno-" behind was no one. Where did she go? he began asking himself. When he sniffed the air it was almost as if Sweetkit wasn't there, It was obvious to him now that she had probably left far back. He could faintly grasp her scent though, but it was his only hope right now. He turned around with a burst of speed, ignoring everything but his goal. He could find a trail of her smell down a hill. without thought he bounded down which he soon regretted as he tumbled down, hitting rocks, twigs, and other assortment. He tried his best to stop himself and landed in a grassy area. licking his small scrapes and bruises he took in his surroundings. Sweetkit has been here... It would be fine for a fast cat like him to find her. He slowed down and began walking around, quickly spying a tree in the distance.He shook himself before realizing around him the scent of the kit was strong. following it he spotted a tree a began padding up to it as he noticed a small figure.
