Fox Called, He Wants His Clever Back(Frosty)

Lightkit was curled tightly in a small ball of fluff, wrapped tightly in a soft nest of moss. He was fast asleep. Dreams of mossballs and feathers floated through the kit's head, and he snuggled his way deeper into the nest. but another kit seemed to not notice that he was sleeping, or maybe that he was there at all, for he tumbled right over the small ginger tom. Lightkit awoke with shock, then anger in his gaze as his claws lashed out to dig into the kit's flank. "How dare you wake me up!" He roared, although any other cat would easily hear it as a measly squeak. Lightkit could not help it, but his voice was high pitched and squeaky. It was higher than most of the other tom-kits, much to Lightkit's dismay. but if he pretended that it was deep and terrifying, maybe others would see it as deep and terrifying.

"I-I'm sorry, Lightkit," The kit apologized, bleeding slightly where Lightkit grabbed him. The tom unhinged himself from Lightkit and dashed away, right into his mother's open paws. Lightkit glared at the tom as the other kit's mother sent a fiery glance of her own. Stupid furball.

Now that he was awake, he may as well go out to the clearing to explore. He began the meticulous task of grooming his pelt, which involved taking every single hair and putting it in its place. He did not want to seem like a wretch when he was around the other cats, did he? Once his duty had been completed, Lightkit leapt out of the den and into the clearing, searching for someone to talk to or to play with.

A sharp pair of green eyes watched Lightkit from the back of the large den. Leafkit was watching, well more like stalking a certain ginger tom. After a while of looking at the small cat sleeping, the tabby decided to try and fall asleep too. This, however, didn't last 5 secounds. One of the younger kits had triped over Lightkit, waking him up. but that what had caught her attention was the high-pitched voice that filled the nursery after words. Leafkit tried her best to contain her laughter but miserably failed and brust out into a fit of giggles. There was no way that could be Lightkit's voice! It sounded more girly then hers! It was even funnier how he had tried to hide it! After her small fit of laughter, the kit noticed that Lightkit had made a cut in the younger tom's flank. This set Leafkit over the edge. No, Leafkit didn't know the tom, but still they shouldn't hurt each other. They where clan mates after all. The dark tabby narrowed her eyes to fine slits, watching as Lightkit groomed himself. Perfect. She had made a plan to get him back for scratching the kit.

Lightkit made his way out of the nursery, Leafkit on his heels. As quick as possible, she turned to where Lightkit was behide her. With out a second thought, she used her powerful legs to push up a cloud of dust form the cave floor. Yes it would get her a little dirty too, but she wasn't the one who had just cleaned her pelt, now was she? Slowly, Leafkit turned to face Lightkit, hoping her plan had worked and he was covered in dust.

A fox will chew off it's own foot before calling for help

Lightkit was considering heading back into the camp almost as soon as he walked outside. No other kits were outside, so there was not a single other cat to play with. With a small sigh, he turned around. Right into a massive, incredibly dirty cloud of dust and dirt. The tom's eyes snapped shut instinctively, and he crouched so that he could hide his face in his paws. The tom began to cough like a maniac; it seemed that some of the dust had gotten sucked into his nose and mouth when he had breathed in. His eyes hurt, although not much dust managed to get into them. The tom rubbed his eyes and muzzle with his paws, trying to clear his eyes and nose of the dust. 

Finally, the tom manged to clear his eyes and nose of some of the dust by coughing and rubbing his eyes. He glanced up, and almost immediately noticed his pelt. His eyes widened and his ears flattened in fear. "My pelt!" He cried. His expression of shock and fear soon turned into fury. "Who dared do this to me?!" He yelled, searching the clearing for  cat whom he could blame. His eyes caught sight of the equally dusty Leafkit. The tom's eyes narrowed, and he bared his fangs. "Leafkit," He muttered, his eyes locked on the she-cat. "You are going to pay for this!" He launched himself at the she-cat, his claws glinting in the light. He knew that he was not supposed to use his claws against clanmates, but he did not care. Leafkit had to pay for her misdeeds. 

but then is forced to find glory in being the bird with the broken wings

Leafkit gave a soft sigh, turning around to face the tiny ginger tom. "Lightkit," she meowed, her eyes narrowing to fine slits. "What a lovely pelt you have." The kitten meowed, a devilish smirk making its way to her face as she waved her tail high in the air. Honestly it was kind of fun to watch him run around like that, but she knew her mother would throw a fit when she found out. Leafkit didn't really are that she was caked in mud, in fact, she couldn't find out why Lightkit cared so much. After a few sneezes, she finally cleared her throat of dust. Soon after hearing the tiny tom's threat, she got into a fighter's stance and unsheltered her long, sharp claws, watching as Lightkit flew towards her. The tabby hissed, quickly dodging him like she had with other kits thousands of times before. Luckily, Leafkit was very tall and muscular compare to other kittens, so she was probably at a advantage with Lightkit being smaller then her. "Stop it, Lightkit. You know that we aren't to use are claws, I don't want to hurt you." Leafkit meowed, her voice like liquid venom compared to her normal one.

Lightkit's eyes were alit with a fire. He had put so much work into keeping everything clean, keeping his own pelt clean, and Leafkit had just ruined it all. What was her problem?! She was such a huge jerk! Just because she was older((I assume, since she was born right after Emberbreeze's kits)) did not mean that she could be so mean, right? If so, then Lightkit did not want to be in TalonClan anymore. He wanted to go back to his home with his real mother.

Lightkit had been ready for a full on battle, his claws and Leafkit's claws both stretched and ready for blood, but his thoughts of fighting were stripped from him like his dignity. Leafkit deftly dodged, much to Lightkit's surprise, and he landed hard on the dusty ground. He gave a squeal of pain as he crumbled into a ball and tumbled a couple times, ending up landing sprawled out in the dust. The anger that had screamed for a battle inside Lightkit quickly was replaced by a pit of emotion and a new spring of tears.

"Why are you so mean, Leafkit," He cried, rolling over so that he could bury his face in his paws. "You know that I don't like to be messy, so why do you do this to me? Do you hate me?" He mewed softly, peaking through his toes at the she-kit. "Yah, right. You do want me to cry, you do want to hurt me, otherwise you wouldn't torment me. You know that I don't like to be dirty." He mumbled, his fur.

The brown tabby sighed as the ginger kitten hit the ground with a soft thud. He seemed to be in pain, though it didn't seem hard enough to hurt him that bad. Why where cats so annoying and weak? Leafkit didn't mind younger cats, but Lightkit was just a pain in the butt most the time, always acting big and strong one second, the next he'll be on the ground crying his eyes out. She was being merciful towards him by not hurting him like he had the tom in the nursery, so he should be pretty happy she hadn't clawed his ears.

Leafkit's eyes softened slightly, though they still brunt like a liquid fire. She gave a huff, annoyed how the kitten was so weak and already crying. "Lightkit," She breathed out, voice soft and gentle, as if she was his mother.  "I didn't mean to hurt you, but in my defense, you hurt that little kitten early. I only did it to punish you for making him bleed. but I'm not going to say sorry." She meowed, her stubborn side coming out. The brown tabby kitten rolled her leaf green eyes before turning and walking over to the younger cat, retracting her claws.

Lightkit loudly cried into the dust for a few more moments until Leafkit spoke again. Her motherly voice only made him want to cry louder. You're not my mom! He wanted to scream. He wanted to yell to the whole clan of how his mother was not here, she could be dead for all he knew. Leafkit, even if she was older, had no right in StarClan to act like his mother. He did listen to what she said though, his crying diminishing down to a soft whimper as she began to continue talking. Yeah right, she did not mean to hurt me. Why did she extend her claws if she was not accepting my challenge? Lightkit thought grumpily, trying to find flaws in every word she muttered.

His eyes widened as she spoke of that annoying furball earlier. She was being mean because of that? "That is unfair! He startled me, and it was instinct that made me scratch him!" He explained, letting his fur rise up defensively. "I was raised to take on the defense when attacked, so it had become instinct for me to unsheathe when startled!" He looked up to Leafkit. He had stopped crying, he was far to busy defending himself. "Just because I don't say sorry does not mean that I am not, and he should have watched where he was going," He almost muttered, his eyes averting from Leafkit.

The tom's eyes narrowed in realization. "but you, you did this with a purpose. You got behind me and kicked dust all over me, and it was not an accident. And I know you are sorry, because just because you don't say it does not mean you think it," Lightkit's claws retracted, but he stared at Leafkit in defiance, as though he were trying to burn holes in her flank. She is in the wrong, not me!

Just let them think there's no place else you'd rather be

[Frost]

Leafkit's green eyes hardened, a low hiss rumbling from her throat. She wanted to yell at him. Tell him how annoying he was being and that he should just go away. She wanted to throw more dust on Lightkit's ginger pelt, just to see his face. She gave a long, annoyed sigh before opening her mouth and speaking to the younger tom-cat. With her eyes narrowed to fine slits, she began to talk. "You know that's not what happened. I have been stumbled on more times then a mouse-brained cat like you could count. Yet, I don't recall even hurting someone because of it." She hissed in a soft yet extremely powerful voice. Leafkit let out a deep growl, taking a few steps towards him with a unreadable but scary look in her green orbs.

"Lightkit, you where raised to honor and respect  your clanmates, like all the other kits." The tabby kitten announced, her face dangerously close to Lightkit's. She bared her teeth before hissing something only he could hear. "That is, unless your mother are just as disloyal and mouse-brained as you. Oh wait, you wouldn't know. Because she left you here so she could die in peace." She knew it was a messed up thing to do, bringing his mother into this. but right now Leafkit didn't care. This was her way of releasing her anger with out destroying anything, well maybe besides Lightkit's ego.

The tabby quickly unsheltered her long claws, though she didn't pull her face back. After a second or two of silence, she spoke up again, voice like liquid venom as it filled the pairs ears. "Oh, is little Lightkit to shocked to reply? What a shame, I was really having fun." Honestly, to Leafkit the only thing worse then hurting her clanmates, was talking about her father. Certainly it was the same thing for Lightkit, just with his mother.

((Wow, sorry it is so long and late Frost I'm tagging you because it has been such a long wait,))

Lightkit noticed Leafkit began to become angry. Not just a little bit, but furious. His own eyes widened and he scootched a bit away from her, still on his belly laying in the dust. This was a different Leafkit that had accused him of hurting another cat. This was a new Leafkit that Lightkit wished he would never have to see again. His ears pricked and he listened carefully to her, not wanting to miss a word of this absolutely furious cat that stood in front of him. His eyes narrowed at first. but it was an accident! He whined in his head, to busy focusing on what Leafkit said to speak them aloud.

Her voice sent chills down the tom's spine, and his fur flattened to his body, making him seem smaller than before. He backed his head a bit away as the she-cat got dangerously close to touching her nose against hers. His neck ended up twisting rather awkwardly to continue looking into her angry eyes. She began to talk of how he was raised like all of the other kits. I haven't been here even half a moon yet, Leafkit, He wanted to moan. but he was struck into a trance with the she-cat's words as they quickly turned sour.

His once narrowed eyes widened, and his ears pinned to his head in fear and anger as he looked up at Leafkit, words spewing from somewhere deep inside of her that Lightkit had not known she had. Somewhere dark and hurtful. His clenched his jaw. He was frozen in place, unable to murmur a word. Why did she have to speak of his mother? The poor loner who had tried her hardest to feed her kits, but simply couldn't. The beautiful she-cat whose pelt became ragged and dirty as she struggled to feed her kits rather than keep her self cared for. She gave everything for him, for his siblings. And she was smart too, she even knew when her kin would have a bigger chance of surviving in a clan than by her belly. She healed her weak sister countless times, she had taught him basic fighting moves, she had shown him everything he would need to know for the future and she had let him go. It was as though the heavens had cursed her, she finally fell in love with a cat, a clan cat at that, and the heavens denied her everything she had once loved. Her strength, her mind, her kits. Lightkit was not going to stand for Leafkit's torment as long as it involved his mother.

Before he found his stomach and his words, the she-cat spoke again like venom, her claws extending. Lightkit did not shrink away. He would not give her the satisfaction anymore. His voice became strong and slightly deeper as he did his best to talk calmly, but his fury was evident when his voice cracked and stumbled unconsciously. "I have only been here half a moon, Leafkit. I was born of the indidelity of a TalonClan warrior and a loner she-cat. I was raised for three moons by my mother, but she learned shortly that she could not care for us. She tried, she really did. but she grew thin and ragged and then we grew thin and ragged and she knew that she could no longer care for the only blessing she had received by the heavens above in her whole life of misery and hatred. She let us go to live with our father, not even telling us his name in order to save his skin because she loved him as much as she loved us. So, no, I have not been raised in the ways of a warrior. I was raised in the ways of a loner who had nothing left but their own claws. So why don't you shut your damn mouth, Leafkit, as you have no business in this."

Lightkit had heard stories about her father, but refused to bring it up. He was done with arguing with Leafkit. He wanted to crawl into a hole and cry his heart out and then never come back to this clan that he had started to hate so much. He stood, preparing to do so. "I hope that you die," He snarled, breaking his composure as the fury and hatred he had been feeling spilled out of him. He shakily got to his feet. He did not even glance at the she-cat again, and turned towards the nursery. He refused to talk to Leafkit anymore. He would not give her the satisfaction. He would not evolve into her plaything, to mess with and to hurt over and over until he could not take it anymore. No, he was done.

Occ;// Sorry its short, end of thread?

Leafkit's eyes widened slightly, though she didn't back away. She listened to his story closely, her eyes flicking every now and this she hissed lightly, narrowing her eyes. "Don't worry I will when the time comes." The tabby snarled, her eyes burning with a mixed fire of anger and annoyance. She wanted him to leave the clan, with was a mean thing to want, but it was true. She just wanted him gone for a long while, then he could come back when he grew up and wasn't as stupid as he was now. The tabby kitten growled, watched his retreating form as she stomped off to go talk to someone else. "Stupid Lightkit, never listens." Leafkit muttered, rolling her eyes.
