Oh Bother

[Honorable Riri]

Reedkit looked up at the sky. Another gloomy day in the life of Reedkit. He thought glumly. He sighed knowing that his ceremony wouldn't come soon. He was only 5 moons....just one moon away. One moon seemed like eternity when you waited this long for getting out of the nursery. He wondered if he had any family out in the forest besides himself.

[Sable]

"Think you've got it bad, kit?" Blackbird heaved himself up from his sunning position and stalked over to the small cat. His hard yellow eyes glared down balefully. "When I was your age - StarClan knows how long ago that was - I made myself useful. There are plenty of things to do without getting into trouble. You just have to be smart to figure them out, y'hear?"[/color]

Reedkit nodded. "Yes, I suppose so. But, there's one thing that's been messing with my head. I know there's a family member of mine around...but not in this Clan." He mewed, still wondering about his dilemma.[/color]

[Sable]

Blackbird's lip curled up into a disdained sneer. "Listen up, mousebrain," he snarled, "So I don't have to repeat myself. The ones who share you blood aren't the same as the ones who are your family. Your Clan is your family. You will stay faithful to them, you will die for them. Your loyalty belongs to no one else, regardless of what flows through their veins. Understand?" The old cat spat in disgust.

Reedkit felt an overwhelming urge to defend his family, but couldn't find the heart. Instead, he agreed with the possibly-crazy elder. ''Yes, Blackbird. So can I call you papa?'' Reedkit joked. He felt a little better now that the elder and him were getting on better terms, even thought they disagreed on a very important detail in a cat's life.

[Sable]

Blackbird gave the young cat a venomous yellow glare. He didn't say anything else, just growled deep in his throat and gave Reedkit a sharp tap on the head as he rose and limped back to his den.[/color]

Reedkit purred. ''You're funny, papa.'' Reedkit padded towards his den, preparing for a good night's rest. He needed something to liven him up, and Blackbird had done just that.[/color]

Stormpaw was lazily walking round the territory and spotted Reedkit heading for the nursery. The apprentice's baby blue eyes shone with fondness. Oh, how he'd love to be able to sleep carelessly in the warmth of the nusery like when he was known as Stormkit! But now he had duties... he couldn't just nap whenever he wanted.

The plump warrior let out a sigh and continued on. Thinking about taking a nap wasn't going to make him any less sleepy![/size]

[Mistpelt]

Mistpelt tilted her head to the side as she stared into the water. Her grey and white reflection, her green eyes gleaming. Her eyes darted from one spot to another as her front paws tensed. Catching fish came naturally to her, although it was repetitive and boring. But, the Clan had to be fed. Her paw shot out from the sandy bank, scattering some sand from the bank into the sea water. It warned the fish to swim away, but Mistpelt was too smart for this stupid fish. She shot it out of the water with her right paw. It landed on the bank with a soft thud, shaking violently. Mistpelt bit down on its throat, killing it. She exhaled, the salty taste lingering in her mouth. She picked it up and set it over by the other two fish she had caught. One was smaller than the one in her mouth, but the other was about the same size. Bending down, she struggled for a moment to get them transportable.

As she finally got them all in her mouth, she tried not to breathe in the scent. She hadn't eaten yet, but she told herself one of the most important rules. She would have to wait a little longer. Walking up the bank, she stepped over a hole lightly in the sand, walking towards the camp.

((Gods, it's been a while since I roleplayed. D8))

Reedkit blinked open an eye and hopped out of the nursery. "G'mornin'." Reedkit said to Stormpaw. "Is it cool to be an apprentice? Being a kit it plain boring."[/color]
