Scorched By a Breeze [Rogue]

Greenleaf had arrived amongst the clans, bringing with it a plethora of new kits. One of these kits was Scorchkit a tiny all black she-kit with a very long skinny tail and big round eyes. Scorchkit hadn't the faintest idea that she wasn't truly a Talonclanner. Her mother having been found moments before her death just outside Talonclan's border, with Scorchkit laying at her belly. The clan had taken in the hour old kitten and she'd been adopted by a kind queen. Raised like one of her own, Scorchkit was never told her tragic past as her adoptive mother believed it would do more damage than good.

Poking her head out the nursery Scorchkit glances around. Her tiny black nose twitching along with her long whiskers. Her mother and siblings were sound asleep but Scorchkit had been awoken to her adoptive brother practically laying on top of her. And after that the curious youngster had been unable to fall back asleep. So instead she'd stuck to the nursery exit, it was early morning and no one seemed to notice the tiny all black kitten. Having never left the nursery before Scorchkit felt shivers of excitement as she peered around. It's so big out there! she thought amazed. Finally she seemed to get control of herself and inched out into the cool camp cave. The stone ground was cold on her little paw pads and she squeaked in surprise. Glancing about she wonders if anyone had heard her, her big blue eyes round.

Breezepaw sat outside the apprentice den, his fluffy tail laying over his paws and his amber eyes gleaming in the dimness of the cave. He had awoken to the feeling of one of his denmates' paws jammed into his side, and though he had been tempted to bat the cat's ears, he had figured that he may as well get up. No one else in the Clan was awake though, and so he sat outside the den and waited, thinking that maybe one of the warriors would wake up and see him ready to go hunting or on patrol.

Movement by the entrance to the nursery caught his eye, and he noticed a small black she-kit poking her head out. Her big blue eyes were wide with wonder, and Breezepaw pricked his ears in amusement and curiosity. It seemed that this was the kit's first time being out of the nursery. Another quick glance around the camp confirmed that no one else was awake yet, so he got up and padded over to the little kit, not wanting her to wander off and get hurt.

"Hello," the silver apprentice meowed cheerfully. "Welcome to TalonClan. My name is Breezepaw. What's yours?"

Scorchkit hadn't seen Breezepaw sitting outside the apprentice den. She'd been too focused on her new surroundings and completely missed the silver and white tom. So when his voice broke the silence of the early morning the little she-kit nearly jumped out of her skin. " Oh!" She exclaims spinning around her ears going back, tail tucking at first. but then she listens to what the stranger said and her ears perk back up. Her tail slowly rises into the air and she fluffs up her short fur to look bigger. " Wow! Your huge!" She squeaks staring up at him with her big round eyes. Moving around him in a circle she examines the older tom. " Breezepaw? " She repeats, eyes sparkling. " Your an apprentice!?" she asks squeaking at the idea and bouncing some. " I'm Scorchkit!" She adds her chest puffing up some. " I'll be an apprentice someday too!" She adds excitedly rising to her hind paws she puts her tiny front ones on either side of his maw examining his face. " You have nice eyes." She compliments giggling some her tail flickering happily.

[Twineheart So sorry for the delay!]

Breezepaw wasn't expecting Scorchkit to suddenly rear up and place her tiny paws on his face. He felt his pelt grow hot with embarrassment, even more so after her next giggly comment. "Th-Thank you," he stammered, suddenly at a loss for words. Clearing his throat, he looked down at the little black kit and gave her a warm smile. "Where are your parents? Or your littermates? It's quite early for such a little kit to be awake."
