)( Nursery )(

[s h a d o w < 3]

Kits and queens don't sleep outside, because they are more likely to fall sick than the warriors and apprentices. Kits are born in a safe, dry den which is made in the gorse walls of the camp. This den always smells particularly milky and like fresh moss, due to the apprentices changing it.

Falconkit awoke to the sounds of cats talking outside the nursery. Careful not to disturb his sister, Beetlekit, who was still asleep; he got up to see what was going on. But by the time he had reached the entrance, the cats had gone. He looked all around, but the camp appeared to be empty. That's strange he thought, I thought for sure that I heard talking.... He was just about to take a step out when he heard shuffling behind him. He hurried back to his mother, she wouldn't be too happy with him for venturing out of the nursery. I wonder who was out there...

[<--Whisper-->]

Meadowpaw padded lightly into the den, ducking as she entered. She rolled up some old moss and laid out some new. Giving prey to Falconkit. She smiled," Falconkit, where's your mother?" She asked her voice full of cunfusion.

[Ravenpaw]

Sockkit hissed and leapt into the air tackling a little moss ball. He pawed at it before taking a step back, stepping on his large tail, "AHHH" he screeched, he ran and hid behind Meadowpaw. "Save me" he whimpered.

[<--Whisper-->]

Meadowpaw laughed and licked the kit gently," Hello, how are you Sockkit?" She asked gently. Her voice soft and smooth. Her silver tabby pelt gleaming. She smiled and looked around, her ice-blue eyes shining.

[Ravenpaw]

Sockkit smiled shyly at Meadowpaw, "I-I'm okay" he stuttered, His bright golden eyes shone brightly. "I just was scared, that's all" He meowed.

[<--Whisper-->]

Meadowpaw laughed gently and smiled. She licked his head gently and mewed," Do you want to play?" She was almost full grown and almost a warrior but she was still very playful.

(Sry short post!)

[Ravenpaw]

Sockkit nodded, "y-yes please" He meowed sheepishly. He look up at Meadowpaw, he smiled, he was so happy to have someone to play with.

[<--Whisper-->]

She smirked and crouched down. Her rump wiggling in the air. She laughed and mewed," Attack me then." She prepared for a strike, keeping her claws seathed. She smiled and swatted at Sockkit gently. Her silver tabby paw brushing his black and white pelt. She smiled, her ice-blue eyes shining.

[Ravenpaw]

Sockkit laughed gently and leapt at her playfully pawing her. He looked at her pretty eyes, and warm smile, "Your gonna be a warrior soon right" Sockkit asked her curiously.

[<--Whisper-->]

She smiled and mewed," Yes, I'm 11 moons so it should be about a moon or so." She was to intent on the play-fight to wonder and ask why he had asked her that. She pawed his ear gently, ruffling his fur.

[Ravenpaw]

Sockkit laughed playfully at her touch, "That's great, i-i hope i can be an apprentice soon" he leapt onto her back, being careful not to hurt her.

[<--Whisper-->]

Meadowpaw smiled and mewed," I would gladly be your mentor if I was a warrior before you're apprenticed." She purred, finally catching on. She smiled as the young tom leaped onto her back, being extra careful," I don't think you could hurt me." She laughed.

[Ravenpaw]

Sockkit smiled brightly, his golden eyes shining, "that would be great!" he yowled, "I-if you know, you could be my m-mentor" he studdered. Sockkit is the type to get easily scared, he pawed Meadowpaw.

[<--Whisper-->]

She nodded," Maybe." She laughed and licked his gently, twisting quickly, so he hovered in the air for a moment. Then he was on her belly. She laughed and pawed his ear gently, her ice-blue gaze full of love.

(sry for power-playing a little)
