Giant, Cat Eating Toads (OPEN!)

She lived in a fairy tale

((Anyone is free to join!))

Creekkit's small, tortoiseshell head peeked out from behind the nursery wall as she searched for anything scary. Luckily, there were no huge trees in sight, nor did she see any giant, cat eating toads. Her gaze shifted to look into the sky, her pretty green gaze searching for big, scary clouds and kitten swiping eagles. Again, she found nothing out of the ordinary. The sky was thinly striped with wispy clouds, and the only birds in the sky were tiny, loud sparrows and proud, red breasted robins. Satisfied that there was nothing scary that she could run into, the kitten padded out of the nursery. She remained cautious, as something terrifying could attack any moment, but she also lightened up a bit.

Creekkit bounded across the camp. Her shorter, kitten sized legs causing her to nearly trip over her own toes, but the she-kit managed to remain running. She nearly crashed right into another cat, but did not stay to hear the warrior's angry grumble. Life was good for the tiny cat. She had a lot of cute little pieces of prey to eat, a whole camp to explore, and no scary things wandering around. After all, it was truly  spectacular that there were no giant, cat-eating toads. After what that one kit told her about them, she had worried that she may never be able to leave the nursery. but it seemed that they must just not be around yet. For a while, at least, she would be able to play in the sun.

SPIDERKIT

IN-CLAN The small black tom poked his head out the den. A small kit had just rushed past him, waking up him. Who had it been? Squinting into the sunlight, the young tom's narrowed eyes followed a small tortoiseshell she-cat bouncing around. Creekkit! He didn't know the she-kit well, but he experienced a pang of irritation. She looked too joyful, too happy. No one had fun without him! He wasn't going to get left out of anything. "Hey, Creekkit!" Spiderkit shouted. "What are you doing? Can I play?"

Creekkit skidded to a stop near the center of the clearing, her heart racing from the excersise. Her pretty, pale green eyes scanned the area for cats, big clouds, giant cat eating toads. She only spotted one of the above. "Hey, Spiderkit!" She called back, her voice gentle. "I am just running around and making sure there are no evil things around." The she-cat sped towards the other kitten, her disposition remaining cheerful. "Lightpaw told me about how the giant, cat eating toads roam the clearing sometimes, so I had to make sure that there were none around before I could play," She explained. "but I would like to play with you, do you have a game that you like that you want to play?" She asked.

She looked the tom over, her gaze observing the other cat. His dark pelt and his somewhat... impatient reputation made Creekkit slightly unnerved about playing with the tom-kit, but she was not the type to tell another cat that they could not play with her. That would be mean, and Creekkit valued her kindness. She would just make the best of this situation. Hopefully, Spiderkit was good at having fun!

SPIDERKIT

IN-CLAN

"What cat-eating toads?" asked Spiderkit, his eyes growing wide. This was something he hadn't heard of. And it certainly annoyed him to know that Creekkit knew something he didn't. Oh, well. It was his job to get the information and rumors, and spread it around. His head spun, already planning what to tell his friends. And I went to the marsh with Creekkit, and this HUGE toad leapt out at us. You know those cat-eating ones Littlerye told us about? Yeah, one of those! And we got away just in time!

"Okay," he agreed, "I'll play with you- but tell me about those toads first."

She lived in a fairy tale

Creekkit's eyes widened slightly as the tom asked her what cat-eating toads were. Didn't everyone know? She had assumed that the whole clan knew about the giant toads, but it seemed that only a select few were given the knowledge. Suddenly, pride filled the small she-cat. Lightpaw must have really trusted her with this information if it was not common knowledge. but Creekkit was a kind kitten, and decided that Spiderkit was worthy of being told.

"You haven't heard of the giant cat-eating toads? They are massive toads, standing at least 4 cats high. They are covered in bumpy, slippery skin, and hide massive teeth inside their huge mouths. Usually, they do not eat full grown cats, but they can if they want to. No, they usually hunt kittens, because kittens are so small that a giant cat-eating toad can eat several in one gulp!" She explained vividly, pacing slightly as she spoke. "One time, a group of rouges was completely wiped out because a pair of giant cat-eating toads ate them! Just two toads ate all 9 full grown cats, and then feasted on their kittens." The she-cat turned to face Spiderkit, her eyes suddenly serious. "The first sign of a giant cat-eating toad is the call. Sometimes, it sounds low and rumbley, like the roar of a monster. Other times, it is like a blood thirsty eagle, shill and bloodcurdling. If you hear their call, you might still be able to get away. but once you spot them, once they spot you, there is no chance of escape. So what game do you want to play?" She asked, returning to her usual, cheerful demeanor.

SPIDERKIT

IN-CLAN

Spiderkit frowned, unconvinced. Creek-kit's story didn't seem very plausible, but, at the same time, he didn't want to take any risks. "So why are there warriors returning everyday, then?" he asked, frisking his tail. "If a bunch of rouges were instantly eaten, why are the TalonClan warriors still living? And shouldn't Briarclaw and Pebblestar know about them?" Spiderkit blinked skeptically, but decided not to push it, scared of upsetting Creek-kit. "Hm... what do I want to play? I like Clan-invasion, but it's getting old," he said dismissively. "Do you wanna go look for those toads? I want to see if they're really real or not." Adrenalin suddenly coursed through him. He wanted adventure, and to prove to Creek-kit what a brave warrior he was.

A soft, quite muffled chuckle came out from Wildclaws mouth as he watched the two young kits interacting. Giant, cat-eating toads that stood four cats high? Quite an interesting animal indeed. "I heard that the toads loved 3 moon old kits the best. Still small and easy to catch, but nice and chewy." He called, deciding to join in the conversation. "And how do you know Pebblestar doesn't know about them? Maybe she just doesn't want to worry you."
