    NETTLEKIT

    the stinging silence

    Nettlekit watched the medicine cats come and leave, not really saying many words through the few sunrises, which he couldn’t see from the cave of course. He did see what the clan cats were doing and although he had so many questions, he, of course, stayed quiet. It kind of hurt, but after he realized the way it was, he gave up. He stayed in the nest, wondering what would come next. But one thing he did know for sure what that the wound was getting better bit by bit. And one day, after the cats stepped out for a bit, he walked out of the nest for the first time since he got named Nettlekit by Spiderpaw and walked towards the other herbs. He saw a few red berries he would rather not touch and then turned to much prettier flowers. With visible interest, he studied the herbs and searched for the ones that were used on him. He needed to know how they saved him. Who knew, maybe one day the rogue would come back and he would have to heal himself?


    As he walked around, sniffing the herbs but not going near the nettle this time, he saw some cobwebs in the back of the cave. He took them down carefully, and tried to put them onto the rest with the clumsiness of a kit. He always liked ordering things back with Mom. Rocks, leaves, types of grass... sorting was a nice thing to do when he was in the back yard alone. He ignored the stinging in his back and waved his paw all over until it finally came off. Maybe he should’ve used a stick.
