The small white she-kit stepped gingerly over her siblings, mother, and then scampered out of the nursery. Gazing around the clearing, Spikekit grinned to herself. The TalonClan cave was huge.
"Don't climb the camp walls, mom told me not to!" her friend Spiderkit had told her the next day. but she saw the glimmer in his eyes, the spark that held a challenge.
And she was going to take it. Looking around to make sure no one was looking-- she couldn't see anyone-- Spikekit peered around the cave, circumscribing it, searching for a place to place her paws on.
At last, she formulated a plan. There were the grooves to the left, where she could get a start, and then there were ledges just above for which she could grip on. Then, a bit to the farther left, there were crevices. She would have to jump to get to a piece of flatter ground on the right side... smiling, she headed towards the grooves. Placing her paws on them, she gazed upwards. The cave was so domed and rounded that she couldn't see the very top. Huffing out of effort, she hoisted herself up, her muscles already straining slightly. Panting a bit, she looked downwards.
You better be watching me, Spiderkit!
