Cloudkit sat at the entrance of the nursery, soaking up the bright sun. She was thinking about how boring it was in the nursery, and how much she wished she could be an apprentice now. She sighed and stared gloomily out into the forest. She may have only been three months old but she was big for her age, and strong too. She twitched her black tail as she watched a fly land nearby. She crouched and wiggled her rear, then she pounced. To her immese pleasure, she caught it under her paws. But to her slight distaste, it squashed under her paws also. She picked up one of her paws and examined it closely. She rubbed it on the ground to wipe off the last of the fly and then she cleaned herself throughly. After that, she trotted back to the nursery entrance and sat down, staring into the forest and thinking. Finally her curiousity got the better of her. She looked cautiously around, wandered over to the edge of the woods, and then dodged into the underbrush. She peeked out to make sure no one saw her and then grinned, pleased with her success. She slipped through a bush, blue eyes wide with excitement and her white-socked paws sinking gently into the sand. She walked for a while, and then her black ear twitched, she heard a mouse! She crept somewhat clumsily closer and crouched. When she pounced, the mouse heard her and it ran. She was close behind it and she grabbed its tail, swinging it to a stop. She held it down, not sure what to do with it now.

fyrestar was fidgeting in her den. there hadn't been any problems in that moon and she didn't know what to do. she decided maybe hunting would be a good idea. getting up onto her restless paws she walked out of the den, just in time to see a small black tail disappear into the undergrowth of the barrier. her ears pricked as she tried to tell what it was. she inched closer to the wall of the camp and bent her muzzle down to the earth, opening her mouth to draw in the scent from the leaves of the brush. she started in surprise as she realized that it was one of the kits. nosing her way through the bush she left the camp to track the little kit, hoping that it wasn't hurt. she kept her mouth open, the scent glands telling her where she ought to go. she caught sight of the black tail, once again disappearing into a bush. she followed it. -nearly there- she thought. bursting through the bush she came out into the open to see the kit, cloudkit, sitting with her paw holding a mouse's tail. she sighed in relief. "cloudkit, what are you doing outside the camp?" she gently asked the kit.

Cloudkit stared up at Fyrestar. 'I... I was bored.' she looked down at her paws. 'I'm tired of being in the nursery. I just wanted to explore a little.'

fyrestar looked at the kit, amused because she remembers feeling the same way. "well how old are you?" she asked placing interest carefully in the sound of her voice.

Cloudkit looked uncertainly into Fyrestar's eyes. 'I'm three and a half moons.' She shifted on her paws. 'But mama says I'm growing faster than kits usually do.' She said this with a little pride in her voice.

Cloudkit smiled big, glad that she understood. 'I caught that mouse all by myself!' she grinned.

Cloudkit puffed out her chest. 'I will be. I always win all of the tussles in the nursery.' She bragged proudly. Then she sobered down and looked wistfully away. 'I've heard a lot about the stream that is in our territory. I wanted to go see it.'

Cloudkit eyes nearly popped out. 'Really?!' she mewed excitedly. 'YES!!' She hopped up and started off, then she stopped. 'Which way is it?'

fyrestar flicked her tail towards the east, "that way cloudkit." she purred softly, happy. she began walking in the direction she had pointed, leading the kit to see the stream.

Cloudkit frisked along behind Fyrestar. What fun! she thought happily. She batted at Fyrestar's tail and then pranced tp her side. 'I can't wait to be an apprentice and have a mentor and learn to be a warrior. I'm gonna be the best warrior ever! Maybe someday I'll be a leader like you! All shall fear great Cloudstar!' Cloudkit rattled on. 'Wow! These are big trees! Look at that beetle! Have you been in many many battles? I think it would be so fun to be a leader and go to war to defend my clan! Is it true that leaders have nine whole lives?? I heard someone say that and I didn't believe them. Do they huh? Do they??'

fyreflower smiled at the inquisitive young kit. "fortunately i have not had to battle many times. it is good to maintain the peace, but if you must defend your clan, trust that you do well in defending your clan. and yes leaders do have nine lives, starclan blesses them when they go to recieve their name and they are given nine lives as a payment for all the work that they have done to help their clan and also it aids them in helping their clan further. but there have been times when a leader was not favoured by starclan, and they did not recieve their nine lives. it really is unfortunate, but.... oh here we are, the stream." she pointed towards the water with her tail.
