How much trouble can six kits cause?

[racingbelle]

Today was the day that the kits were going to open their eyes and see for the first time! The could also hear new sounds. I smiled and walked into the nursery den. "Good mourning all!" I said happily. I looked down at the mass of squirming kits. I saw Greykit slowly 'crawling' toward the entrance of the den. I wondered if he could see the morning light outside. "Today we'll see if there's any problems with the kit's eye sight or hearing. Hopefully they'll all pass with flying colors!" I looked at the kits every feature of my face lighting up. I just love little kits even though they weren't mine...

I was standing sort of tottering toward the light. My eyes were open and I could here so many sounds and see so many things! I was already learning to speak like mommy and daddy and that included telling Reedkit to be quiet. Being the oldest of the litter I thought that all of my siblings could be annoying at times but I still loved them all. I sorta had a favorite little sibling. I liked to watch out for little Moonkit. She had a special marking like me. The first thing I asked was what was this on my shoulder. It was a yellow heart. I liked it. It made me feel special. Now to find out what was out of this silly little den. I tried walking faster on my unsteady things called legs.

Reedkit had been full of questions since he had been born, and even more so now that his eyes were open. Even though he was only two days old, he was already beginning to figure out how to speak like his mom and dad. His first word, of course, had been 'Why?' and he hadn't stopped asking questions since then. He'd asked about everything, from the walls of the den to the light outside. Now, as Willownight approached, he turned away from the front of the cave and ran to his mom, Lightningstreak, his eyes shining. "Mom! Mom! There's a cat coming! Who is it? Why is she here? Is she coming to say hello to us?" However, as Willownight approached he suddenly fell silent and climbed behind Lightningstreak in a shy way, staying in his mother's shadow as the black medicine cat approached. "Greykit! Come back!" he said, seeing his brother crawling away.

Silverstripe woke up early this morning, he wanted to be there for the test. He specially wanted to see if any of the kits could not see or hear, he would blame him self but he knew they would be fine. ''Kits you will all be fine''. He licked his kits heads and anywhere he could reach, they where squirmy and nervous as he could tell.

Leopardhsine came in a little later, she sat down a little farther away, this had been the first time she had seen the kits, and there where so many of them. She smiled, the she-cat was jealous in away, she would never have kits her self, but she was also so proud of her brother, he was a true man now a father. Today though she was hear to learn how to do these test as she has never tried them before on any kit. She would watch.

Moonkit looked around, it seemed as if everyone was exited for something, nervous, she was not, her tail was wrapped around her small white paws, the she-cats vibrant blue eyes looked back at her father, then at her mother, lastly at her sibling. Moonkit loved them all right now, she did not have a favorite brother or sister, as she saw happen to some other litter, or stories really. The she-cat walked over to her aunt and smiled, ''Hi'', she talked a bit funny, her ear was always sensitive to Moonkit but today they would find that out. She curled by her aunts foot and watched.

Shadowkit had come out running, well, wobling really, but he was much more adventurus than his siblings. He was sniffing everywhere, watching everything, and leaping at the occasional leaf. But of course he watched Reedkit, he had become somewhat of his brother's protecter. When he saw the smaller kit hide behind their mother Shadowkit wobbled over, sitting by his brother. "Don't worry reedkit, I may not be an apprentice yet but I'll protect you from anything that's out there," He promised, little chest puffing out. He just couldn't wait to be a warrior! He would be the greatest warrior in the forest!

[atrb=background,http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq95/amanda1472/Cats/fottergrey-1.jpg] "Its ok my little Reedkit. Her name is Willownight, shes Nightclan's medicine cat and she is here to see if you are healthy." She said gently as she licked her kit's head. She looked up and sees Greykit walking towards the nursery's entrance. "Oh no you dont Greykit." She said as she slowly stood up. She turned around and picks Greykit up by the scruff of his neck. She turned back around and laid down, putting Greykit between her front paws. "Your still to young to go out into the camp. And you need to be checked by Willownight." She said as she licked his head. She smiled as she looked at her six, beautiful kits.

Smokekit watched as her mommy brought Greykit back from his exploration. She then stumbled over to Reedkit. "I will also protect you Reedkit." She said happily as she laid down next to him. Just like Shadowkit, she also has a great bond with Reedkit.

The small kit bounce up and down excitedly in the nursery. She had woken up about an hour ago with the rest of her siblings, and already she could feel that something exciting would happen today. They all where about two weeks old by now, which made he excited even more. They still had five moons until they became apprentices! The pale very light cream she-cat with dark brown spots dotting her pelt, and the stripes on her tail seemed to glimmer. She had no idea where all the energy had come from, but she guessed it would always come naturally. The small she-kit watched as Greykit crawled forward, and then some new and unknown cat entered the nursery. Instantly she bounded over, leaping over her large brother, barely clearing him. She stumbled when she landed on the other side, nearly falling, but catching her balance. Shatteredkit looked up at the medicine cat, and she glanced over her shoulder when she heard Smokekit sqek after Greykit to come back, and then their mother told them who this strange, new cat was. The snow white/light cream kit's brillant beautiful blue eyes looked up at the medicine cat, Willownight. She felt a spark of insirement as she smiled before giving an excited little skip as they began to go outside. She wanted to just go outside the nursery, but stopped and was forced to wait. She sat by Moonkit patiently, silently watching her parents and Willownight. "When can we go outside?" she asked, obviously excited.

[racingbelle]

I squeaked loudly. "Mom! Come on let me go!" I screached as mom picked me up. My fur fluffed up and I was put down between her feet. Immediatly I bounded of again back toward the enterance. I was gonna get out of here even if it killed me! My little legs moved faster but were still wobbly like noodles. I smelled fresh air and went faster still. The light was bright and I blinked my eyes and looked around. Everything was so big! I pricked up my ears and just sat there. Everything was so beautiful and bright! "Wow." I said slowly.

"Alright let's start shall we?" I said quickly. I took a step toward the nearest kit and gently picked it up. It just happened to be Moonkit. "Hello there as your mother said I'm Willownight, ShadowClan's medicine cat. I'm just going to make sure your nice and healthy ready to go outside. You'll like that right?" I said soothingly to the little kit who might be scared of me. I checked her over quickly and noticed that something about her left ear wasn't right... "Moonkit. Is something wrong with your left ear? Like does it hurt or feel funny?" I asked the while kit. I looked up at Lightningstreak asking silently if Moonkit had been acting strange or if she knew that something wasn't wrong with her kits.

[forte]

Reedkit smiled at Shadowkit and Smokekit as they spoke. "Thanks," he squeaked, a little bit nervously, but his siblings were protecting him and so he wasn't afraid. He would do anything to protect them, as well, but as the runt of the litter was was smaller and weaker than the rest. When they tussled around, it was always Reedkit who ended up pinned, even though he was beginning to figure out how to outsmart his siblings and turn them over with a well-placed paw-stroke. He listened to his mother as she spoke, and then he was no longer afraid. "The medicine cat is the one with all the herbs, right? The one who heals the clan? That must mean that Willownight is very smart and kind. Hey, mom, mom! Why do clans need a medicine cat anyway?" But by then Lightningstreak was off grabbing Greykit, who was trying to escape. Reedkit rolled his eyes, then looked back at Shadowkit and Smokekit.

"Hey, guys, what do you think that Willownight is looking at us for? None of us are sick, right?" He looked a bit worried for a moment, but none of them had been coughing. He knew that greencough was bad in leaf-fall, but all of them were healthy. Even him, even though he was a runt. He gasped when the medicine cat asked if Moonkit was alright. Was Moonkit sick?! Alarm raced through his little body and he bounded forward, although he stayed well away from the strange medicine cat, looking worriedly at Moonkit.

[Stella]

Moonkit smiled as her momma introduced the medicine cat, it seemed as if she was the only one who knew her aunt was the medicine apprentice, or they had all forgotten, she was not sure. But it was here turn, she did not like this but Moonkit tried not to squirm to much, ''Um, well i guess, it doesn't hear, my right ear does'', she smiled. The young kit always thought one ear was weaker then the other so she never told her parents, she thought it was normal to have one death ear and one working. She thought nothing could be perfect.

But the way she was looking at her and her father made her worried, the small kit looked at her paws then back up to Willownight, her siblings seemed so much more playful and fun, she never liked big crowds or lots of noises. ''Is that bad?'', Moonkit was truly worried.

Silverstripe sighed, he thought there was something wrong with Moonkit since the day she came out but he could never guess what, she always acted so normal, exp for the shyness. ''I have noticed her ear was awkwardly shaped in the inside and it just did not look right when she was born''', He was no medicine cat, but when the inside of your ears dont look like each other or normal something must be wrong. He was pacing now, worried for his kit.

Leopardshine was sad, the one young kit could not be death, she could be forced to the elder's den even before she becomes an apprentice, she could not let this happen, she had to talk to her mentor.. Willownight. But she would have to see the end results, her grey amber eyes looking down.

[NightStrike]

Shadow kit leaped on Reedkit, trying to keep him quiet. "Hush Reedkit! I'm sure Moonkit is alright, if she wasn't then she would be out of the nursery by now, so that we wouldn't get sick also," And then he moved away, towards Greykit. "Come on, before you're caught, and while they're preoccupied with Moonkit. I have a plan," The dark kit whispered to his brother, and moved silently, blending into the darker areas of the nursery. He reached a secluded spot with a hidden hole that he had been working on for awhile now. "Follow me," He mewed quietly, sqwirming out. An ingenious plan, for a small kit like himself.

[racingbelle]

I pricked my ears. Oh no! What was wrong with Moonkit? I wanted to find out but I didn't know how long I would have outside in this strange world. I knew that Shadowkit had been working on something. After all I was the oldest and tended to find out about everything. I even helped him a little. I grinned. Now would be the perfect time for him to use it. I wanted to find out where he wanted to go. Or rather where he was going to go. I had to look out for all of my little brothers and siblings. Now to find a place to his and wait. I sniffed around the wall of the nursery and found a little space that I could squeeze into...

I licked the kits head. "No it's not bad Moonkit. Not at all. It just means that you have to work harder at hunting and fighting. Since your not compleatly deaf it shouldn't be that hard. You just won't have two ears to work with." I said calmly. "You can still probably become and apprintice it all depends on what Icestar says but I don't see why you couldn't be one. Your healthy other wise." I licked the kits head again and purred. I nudged the little kit so she knew that she was done. I checked all the kits except Greykit and Shadowkit. They were all healthy too. Where are they? "Greykit, Shadowkit! Your turn. Come here little ones!" I called out. "Lightningstreak, Silverstripe do you know where they are?" I asked a puzzling look on my face.

[lightningstreak]

Smokekit smiled when he heard that he was healthy. Stumbling as he walked, he started to walk towards the nursery's entrance to go outside for the first time. He closed his eyes from the bright light of the sun. He slowly opened his eyes and smiles brightly. Everything was so BIG to him. He thought that the nursery was big but outside is a lot more bigger.

[atrb=background,http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq95/amanda1472/Cats/fottergrey-1.jpg] With her keen hearing she was able to hear Shadowkit and Greykit sneaking away. She waited until Willownight finished checking the rest of her kits before she gets them. "I do know where they are willownight." She said as she stood up. She walked over to where they were trying to sneak off. "Oh no you dont. You both need your check ups." She said as she picked them both up by their scruffs. She walked back over to the nest and sits down, she gently puts them on the moss bedding nad puts her paws on their tails, making them stay. "Once you both have your check ups, you can go outside." She said as she kept them in place by keeping her front paws on their tails.

Reedkit had begun to start breathing very fast, which was the first sign of one of his little panic attacks, until Shadowkit jumped on him and snapped him out of it. "Oh... yeah... it's contagious, isn't it..." he mewed, standing up shakily, but then his brother walked away and he was all alone and felt his fur burning with shame. Sometimes he got like this, where he couldn't think because he was so nervous, even though thinking was what he was best at. Sometimes he thought that that was all he could do. Shadowkit would never ask him to sneak out, because they all thought.... no, they all knew... that he was afraid. Well, they should be, too! He liked to sit near the mouth of the nursery and listen to what was going on, and he knew that it was dangerous out there. It was dangerous everywhere... As he thought about that his breathing began to get quick again.

When Willownight checked him over, he looked sympathetically over at Moonkit. Maybe, if he pretended to be deaf, too, they would keep him in the den a little longer... Still, then he would never be a warrior. He looked up at the medicine cat nervously as she eyed him over and nosed him and checked him out. He was so very small... the runt, Greykit sometimes called him. But all the same she said that he was healthy and that he could go outside... "Wait up, Smokekit!" he called, bounding forward as the others looked for Greykit and Shadowkit, who he knew had been digging over there for a while, trying to escape. He knew that Lightningstreak would catch them, too. But right now he was just trying to prove that he was brave after all... He ran outside....

And was almost instantly paralyzed by fear again. It was all so... huge! And birght! So many ways to hurt a kit out here.

The small snow bengal was worried the moment her aunt told the news that something was wrong with her sister. Suddenly her blue eyes flared as her fangs bared slightly, her fur bristling slightly. "LEAVE HER ALONE! SHE'S FINE!" came her snarl as she protectively stood by her sister after she had been put down, glaring at the ground, but a moment later all the agression vanished like mist. She pressed against her sister, but stopped and stood, turning in a full circle, her pretty blue eyes looking for her brothers. She noticed both had vanished. At the same moment Willownight began to check her over. She lashed her tail irritatedly. "I could care more about my brothers," she grumbled as she was set back down, being the last one to be checked over. She went back to Moonkit's side, and looked at her parents with wide, confused eyes, and her face so pitiful and innocent it could shatter anyone's heart with sadness and sorrow. "Where's Shadowkit and Greykit?" she asked them, obviously confused as she gently flickered her tail against her sister's shoulder.

[Stella]

Moonkit was confused, she would become an apprentice and no one would stop her, how could they. She was mad, exp when her sister yelled at everyone, ''I am perfectly okay!'', Moonkit was mad, but her brother's made her even more irritated, they where so immature, and loud. Moonkit walked up to the nurserys door though, her big blue eyes looking out, but something inside her stomach made her stop, and the look her father gave his kits ..it was all overwhelming.

Her right ear could hear her sibling yelling and talking, the other clan cats working, but faint. Moonkit, sat down, her front body looking out, her back body still in the nursery, she just wanted nothing, and everything.
