ic- Echopaw padded meekly into the familar apprentice den. The place reeked of cats around eight moons old- just like her. Her son, Neverkit was clamped in her jaws. Her pearly white teeth were clenched to her youngest and smallest kit, but she was careful not to hurt him. Going into the back of the den, the calico she-cat found a secluded corner. The bedding smelled faintly like her! It was her old bed!
Setting Neverkit down in the corner, she watched as her other kits followed her into the den.
--
Neverkit's scruff was sore from his mother tightly holding on. It hurt like mad, but he didn't complain. He silently crawled to the back of the den, hiding in the corner as much as he possibly could. Even this den had tufts of fur here and there and small bits of blood lying on the floor. But there wasn't as much in here as in the nursery. Falling down to the floor with a thump, he laid down, his chin resting on his paws.
--
Lunakit followed her brother, Everkit. She was slightly annoyed that Everkit was so... Proud. He didn't even do anything! All he did was growl at some tribe cat, so what? Sitting down next to Neverkit, she let out a long sigh. "I's tired..." She muttered, sighing again.
--
Everkit strode into the den. So, this is where he'll learn to become an all powerful warrior! He sniffed the place, it reeked of other apprentices that weren't worth Crystalstar's time. Why did she even bother making them apprentices when Everkit was so much better? He shook his head, he was totally lost in thought. He puffed his chest fur proudly though. He had been so brave in the nursery! His mother and siblings must be so proud of him! Well, except for Lunakit, she isn't proud of anything anyone does. Plus, she was too thickheaded to notice anyone other then herself.
--
Cautiously, a black and white kit padded into the apprentice's den. Sniffing around, Goodkit half expected a tribe cat to jump out at her and her family and lash out. The nursery had been ravaged, but the apprentices den didn't look too bad.. "Moomma?" She squeaked, "Wen can we go bac to da nursery?"
--
"Soon, I hope.." Echopaw murrmered. Sighing, she added "Come on everyone, move to the corner, and don't leave unless I say so. Let me know if you want food or-"
--
Everkit cut her off, "Wat if we has to go make dirty?" What if they had to go to the bathroom right where they stood?
--
"Of coarse not dear," Echopaw mewed. "I was about to say that as well, but anyways, don't leave this corner. I don't know if any tribe cats stayed behind and are.. Well, just stay put, ok?"
--
All of the kits nodded, moving hastily to the corner.
After the battle (private)
- Hawk of the Missing Desert
- Closed

Wofpaw busted into the apprentice den and scanned the area for Echopaw "There you are!" he said at last"I knew a cat attaced the Nusery so I went in there to look for you and you weren't there so I was looking for and thank goodness you and your kits are safe!"as Wolfpaw gazed down at her kits he noticed how big they were they weren't tiny helpless any more and they probly could talk by now so he desided to talk to one"Hi whats your name?"Wolfpaw knew the kits name but wanted to be polite to Neverkit because ,Wolfpaw had only seen him once but knew who he was because of how small he was compaired to his litter mates "I know we arn't friends but I want to be you seem really nice and I'm sorry..."
-
Huntpaw limped in, Looking at the young queen. "Hey Echopaw! You ok? And hey kits! How yall been?" Huntpaw purred through the pain oh her fore-paw. "You guys ok?" She meowed morely to Echopaw, she had more concern in her voice and any thing else.
-
Echopaw shrugged, "I'm fine, and so are the kits. We got through the whole battle unscathed," She purred to Huntpaw. She looked around for her sister, Quietpaw. "Have either of you seen a red torbie she-cat? She's about yayhigh, ugh, she also pregnant? And um, she's my age..?" She turned to Wolfpaw, he appeared to regret what he had said a few days ago. "You managed to say that all in one breath?" She joked, Wolfpaw must just have a huge diaphram.
--
Neverkit leaned against his mother shyly, hiding his face in Echopaw's fur. He didn't like strangers, he didn't like Wolfpaw that much either. Wolfpaw had tried to get Echopaw to get rid of him and his siblings. He could hear then, but Echopaw had told them the day before the tribe cats and Sunclan had attacked the clan. He was still angry at Wolfpaw, regardless of the fact that Echopaw had more or less forgiven him.
--
Everkit snickered at Neverkit's cowardnice. He could be such a baby. But, the brown tabby tom didn't exactly like Wolfpaw either. He tried to separate Echopaw from Everkit and his siblings- not cool. He stared at the other Thunderclan apprentice, stone faced. Everkit decided that he would determine how he thought about Wolfpaw by how he acted today, and how he treated his mother. -
"It's ok the Tribe cats are gone and I won't hurt you."he said this to Neverkit he seemed very shy."Hi Everkit you look so much like your mother."He smiled at Echopaw when he said this and said"You know your kits are looking bigger and stronger every day you might be able to take them outside camp soon."Wofpaw was trying to stay on her good side after she just forgave him he felt much better with him self.
-
Everkit shrugged, not flattered. He didn't want to look like his mom. Besides, Everkit didn't see and stripes on his mum. "I bat I lock more like meh dad!" He crowed, even though he had no idea what his dad looked like. Turning to his mom, "Hey, whoo is or daddy anywey?" He looked at his mother with wide eyes. Come to think of it, Echopaw had never said who their dad was.
--
Echopaw shot Wolfpaw a pleading glance, silently begging him not to say who the father was if he knew. Changing the subject back to what it had been, she purred "Not for a moon a two. But they're getting there." Looking at them again, she added "I imagine they're three weeks old? I have a bad memory and I can't keep track of things well. I mainly keep track of how many moons old they are." Shrugging, she ignored Everkit's annoyed hiss. She looked at Goodkit, who appeared to be wanting to say something. "What is it sweetie?" She asked, smiling warmly at her oldest.
--
Goodkit had been staring at Wolfpaw since he showed up. The black and white she-kit barely heard her mother. "Ar YOU or daddy?" She squeaked, her eyes wide with curiosity.
--
Lunakit stared with her sister after Goodkit asked THAT. It could be likely, but Lunakit was still young. She didn't understand how gentics work yet.
--
Well, Neverkit hoped that Wolfpaw wasn't their dad. He was too... Upbeat for the black tom kit's taste. He his behind his mother, but made sure that he could still see all of the cats.ooc- This will be my last post until more people join. I need to put other rpers into consideration as well. :)
-
''No I'm not your dad just a friend of your moms thats all."Wolfpaw was caught off gaurd but anserwed as much as he could with out giving away who their father was Wolfpaw personly thought their father was roten scum and shoud be driven out of camp for what he did to all of the apprentices but he was once a warrior and should be resected no matter what the other cats thought of him.
-
ooc- ok, never mind. It's been six days and no one has even replied. So I'll keep going..
ic-
"Oh," Goodkit mewed in disappointment. "Than who iz? If you aren't..." She stared at Wolfpaw, her eyes wider then ever.
--
"Enuff tak. It boring," Everkit growled impatiently. "I wanna fight in da battle!" The tabby tom's eyes glowered, his tiny little claws scratching the dirt.
--
Neverkit shook his head. "No y- yuuu don't," he whispered carefully. He was afraid of Everkit. Everkit was sorta violent and impatient. That wasn't a good combo. "Da battle is scary."
--
"Neverkit is rite," Lunakit added, sticking up for her small brother. "You sholdn't fight if yu can help it." -
Wolfpaw ignored Goodkit's qustion stumped by what th answer would be"You guys don't want to be in the battle even some of the most bravest warriors fall out their and it's not the pace for kits to act like warriors that shoud be in your den wheir ever that may be."He looked at Echopaw again and now considered him self her good friend and he liked they way it was now and wished time could just stop weir it was and let them stay like this forever.
-
Echopaw shifted her paws uncomfortably at Goodkit's question. I have to protect her from the truth, but how long can I do that? The calico queen thought desperately, her tail quivering in fright. "Let's not worry about that now," Echopaw mewed.
--
Everkit rolled his eyes, ignoring his irritating siblings. They were so stupid sometimes. -
Wolfpaw saw the worrie in Echopaws eyes and wr.aped his tail comfortly aroud hers and wisper so the kits counldn't hear"It'll be okay they don't need to know about their father ever ."Wolfpaw felt anger well up inside him self when he thought about the kits father he was evil and rotten in every way be he didn't want Echopaw to see his anger so he put that thought at the back of his head and smiled at the kits.
-
Echopaw blushed when Wolfpaw wrapped his tail around her. "Not infront of the kits!" She whispered, "They're too young to see this!"
ooc- ugh, low muse.. Wanna make a private thread for them?
-
"Sorry ."Wolfpaw mumbled and then he felt his skin get hot and quickly recoiled his tail in embarrasment from his actions.
OOC:sure or you could put Private on the threds name
-
ooc- yeah, since we are the only ones posting..
ic- Echopaw giggled mischieviously, "No worries," She whispered, winking at him.
--
Goodkit and Lunakit burst out laughing. Boy, those two were hilarious together!
--
Everkit rolled his eyes, and focused on the camp instead of his flirty mother.
--
Neverkit blushed just like his mother, and shifted his paws awkwardly. -
Wolfpaw felt his heart race when Echopaw winked at him "Did he like Echopaw?No this couldn't be they were just friends nothing more or were they?."Wolfpaw was puzzled at the thought did Echopaw like him?Did he like her?Wolfpaw was confused by it all but the questions didn't leave his mind.
-
"What's wrong?" Echopaw asked, her calico head tilting a little. Her green eyes were filled with curiosity. But then again, she didn't want to pry. "Oh, I'm sorry, it's none of my business.." She shifted her multi-colored paws uncomfortably, her ears back in embarrassment.
It was hard to believe that only a few days ago she was trying to bite his head off, now she was some-what flirting with him- how ironic.
--
Goodkit and Lunakit giggled in contempt, only she-kits could understand what was going on between Wolfpaw and Echopaw, even at their young age.
--
Everkit and Neverkit looked at each other, excahnging confused glances. What did their sister know, that they didn't? -
"Oh I was just thinking thats all."Wolfpaw figured it out he did like Echopaw more than a friend but he doubted she felt the same because of their fight so he let i dorp but now when he looked at her she seemed diferent she seemed so...so beautiful like she glowed like the stars of silverpelt he let that thought drop she has kits for crying out loud .He scolded him self he coulden't just tell her she was beautiful it was obvious that Goodkit and Lunakit knew how he felt even they were just kits and he prayed they wouldn't tell their mother.
-
Echopaw smiled, "Would you mind sharing with the class?" She asked sarcasticly, but her voice was still friendly.
--
Lunakit and Goodkit snickered a little bit more, then joined the confused Everkit and Neverkit. "You two don't get it, do you?" Lunakit whispered so that only the kits could hear.
--
Neverkit shook his head, "What's going on? I don't get get it," He shook his head, "Adults confuse me.."
--
Everkit felt like boiling over, it was bad enough he didn't know what was going on, but now his sister's were rubbing it his face!
--
Goodkit sighed, boys could be so gullible. "I don,t think they will for a long time," She whispered, flicking her ears. "Think about it guys," She whispered impatiently, "Put all of what Wolfpaw and Echopaw have said together, and what emotion do you get between them?" -
Wolfpaw felt his skin get hot again but he knew the kits knew so it was only a matter of time before they told their mother "Well...You see."Spit it out you numb skull he thought to himself "I'v been feeling diferent about you latly and I was wondering if you felt the same way."wolfpaw felt so akward now and hoped she wouldn't reject him.
-
Echopaw, whom was having blonde moments lately, had no idea that Wolfpaw was talking about love. Oh I see, he thinks I still hate him from what happened back in the nursery, Echopaw thought. She smiled warmly at him, "Of coarse we can be friends!" She exclaimed, her glade green eyes widening. "I wouldn't think any different, of coarse I feel the same way!"
--
Lunakit sighed, her mother didn't get it. She might as well be as dumb as her sons when it came to love.
--
Neverkit thought about Wolfpaw being all shy, and his mother winking at Wolfpaw. But his eyes still read confusion. Suddenly, it hit him, and it hit him hard. "OH!!!" He explaimed, totally unlike him. They were in love!
--
Everkit looked at him, "What? What is it? Tell me!"
--
Neverkit nodded and leaned closer to Everkit. He whispered in his tabby brother's ear, "They're in love."
--
"OH!!" Everkit exclaimed, "DUH!!" He flashed Wolfpaw a cheesy, tabby grin. He mouthed the words, "Nice, very nice."
