    DARLING DAISY

    Tealkit / RiverClan kitten / female [♀] / tags & information


    *:･ﾟ✦ So Tealkit finally left the camp. She was barely outside, but she considered it her greatest accomplishment. However, when she returned to the nursery, the other kits didn't think that stepping a few feet out of camp was that big of a deal. "Tealkit, you should go to the river." An NPC kit said. The thought filled the girl with fear, she had nearly drowned once, the river was a place of horrible memories that had left a lasting scar on her mind. "I dare you, Tealkit." The NPC said. "N-no! I-I won't do it!" Tealkit said. "Then you're a chicken! A scaredy cat!" The kits teased her. "You're almost an apprentice, act like one!" Tealkit looked out through the entrance. She didn't want to be a chicken or a scaredy cat. She wanted to be brave, she wanted to impress these kits. She wanted to be popular. "I don't know, what if I get into trouble?" Teal asked, quivering. "Do it, Tealkit! Do it!" The kits chanted.


    Why did I do this to myself... Tealkit thought as she jumped through the snow, sinking in a few times. She used the existing paw prints of the border patrols that came through here that morning, to find her way to the river. All the memories came flooding back when she saw it. Those awful, giant creatures with their grabby hands and horrifyingly creepy hairless faces. They shoved her mother and littermates into a cage, and accidentally flung Tealkit into the river while attempting to catch her. She remembered that day so vividly; as all the air in her lungs was replaced by icy cold water, and she was violently pinned underneath the water by the powerful current. She remembered fighting desperately for air before hitting her head on a rock. Then she came to RiverClan, her home...


    The river was frozen solid now, it couldn't drown her anymore, but Tealkit was still scared. She reluctantly placed a paw on the surface of the ice; only to quickly pull it away. "μπορείτε να το κάνετε αυτό, Tealkit." She told herself in the language that her mother spoke. You can do this, Tealkit. She closed her eyes and nervously stepped onto the ice, and it was as solid and stable as the land. However, when she tried to run across, she slid on the ice. Tealkit screamed, curling up into a ball on the ice. Slowly she got up, carefully crossing the ice until she was on ThunderClan territory. I did it.


    "Speech."

    The queen was walking around looking for a place to hunt she she had spot tealkit walking towards the kit she looked confused "um excuse me but why are you on thunderclan territory?" She asked the kit tilting her head.

    >> Sanddune had been hunting alongside Rubyheart, crouched and ready to pounce on an unsuspecting vole. The she-cat crept closer on silent paws, tail stick straight as she controlled her breathing. Her haunches bunched up and her shoulders tensed, about to leap when...Rubyheart spoke, the vole looking and scurrying off into the underbrush around the frozen river that separated Riverclan and Thunderclan territories. The yellow tabby looked up from where she had just been hunting, eyes narrowed at what Rubyheart was doing. Was that...a kit? Immediately intrigued and slightly worried, Sanddune trotted over, looking from Rubyheart to the shaken kitten. The kit was definitely from Riverclan judging by the fishy smell and the oily fur. What was she doing here on Thunderclan territory? Surely the Riverclanners would've figured out that one of their kittens had snuck off?

    Sanddune didn't like seeing any kitten so frightened, but the question that lingered in her mind had already been asked by Rubyheart. Why exactly was this Riverclan kitten doing so far away from her own camp?

    *:･ﾟ✦ Oh no. She had been caught. By two ThunderClan warriors. They didn't seem too hostile, mostly curious. But what would Tealkit say? That another kit had dared her to go to the river? Then she'd probably get a lecture on not doing what your friends tell you to do and to stick up for yourself. "Uh... I'm an apprentice! I just became one, actually!" She meowed awkwardly. Teal was only two weeks away from becoming an apprentice, so she looked like one, or at least a very tiny one. "I was... Um... Trying to catch fish?" No! That's so stupid! There's no fish when the river's frozen! Instantly her pelt grew hot with embarrassment. How am I going to get out of this?


    "Speech."

    ― Aspenkit continued to sneak outside of camp, even if he was still healing from the dog attack that nearly cost him his life. However, he stuck close to the trees in case he needed to climb in order to escape another predator. He thought that this time, he would be extra careful and that if he even caught whiff of a strange scent he would began to climb the tree. Still... He could slip, and fall to the ground, losing consciousnesses and this time his father wouldn't be there to rescue him. The mere thought of it made his belly queasy as he limped closer to the river. Then the breeze carried the riverclanner's scent to his nose, but he could tell that the scent did not belong to the mongrel and he continued his path to the riverbank.


    Once his paws reached the ice, he looked toward the scent to see the few who had been gathered nearby. A kitten was revealed to have the said strange scent. He couldn't hear what the context of their conversation was, but seeing as she was outnumbered, he continued to limp toward them. "Who are you?" He asked the tabby, "Why do you smell so funny?" Oops! He had completely forgotten that he wasn't supposed to be outside of the camp.


    Ruby turned to sanddune and gave a nod, greeting the otehr cat, then snapping her gaze back to the kit, the way the kit spoke made her worried and confused "arent you a bit small to be an apprentice?" she then turned to looked at the stream that was still covered in ice and looked back at the kit "um i dont think it would be the right season for fishing, there is still ice over the stream" she spoke still loooking confused, her eyes widened when she had spotted aspenkit "aspenkit, what are you doing out of camp!"
