Family Outing(Taggr)

[blackie]

CROWFROST

Her eyes slammed shut, she tossed and turned haphazardly in her sleep. Nightmares hadn't happened to her in such a long time. The last time she had such a rigid dream was moons ago back before she had a family... yes family. That word made the she-cat smile. As she thought of the word family, it made her rest at ease. As she thought of the word Family, her nightmare faded and she was sleeping peacefully once again.

It wasn't until sunghigh that she woke up. It wasn't the bright lights that woke the queen either. It was simply the urge to walk and the fighting loud kits next to her. Willowshine and her bunch were finally out. The nusery was only her, her three kits, and when ever Wolfclaw came in, him of course. She shook scattered moss and plants from her fur and looked down at her kits. Starclan after all had decided to give Spiderkit life. It made her so happy to see how much each one had grown.

Her kits you could tell had devolped personalities of their own. Spiderkit definately inherited her personality without a doubt. He was bitter, friendly towards family in his own ways. Stormkit was fairly outgoing and reminded her much of her mate Wolfclaw. However it worried her when the young kit talked to a leaf or a puddle. Stormkit had also taken a liking in the medicine cat den. However Crowfrost had wanted to see her kits all become warriors. She wasn't sure how she felt about Stormkit becomming a Medicine cat Apprentice. Icekit also went out on her own. Making her own friends and causing trouble.

She stood up, stretching her legs. She turned around facing her two daughters and small son. She smiled at each. Making sure to groom each one to make sure they were suitable for appearence. "Wolfclaw went out today." She mewed. IT was the burnt sycamore that he had gone too yes? She couldn't quite remember but she hoped she was right."I think all of you are old enough for your first walk...." She mewed."Follow me."

STORMKIT
The she-kit was startled from her moms tossing and turning. She wasn't quite sure what to think. Her mother had never done such a thing before it was all new to her. Sure each cat had a nightmare but nothing like that. However soon, she was at ease again as if nothing had happened.

She decided that while she was sleeping she would explore the Medicine cat den. It worried her that Shadowclan had no cat ready to heal. What if someone grew sick. They were lucky thus fur, but who knew what would happen soon. She tilted her head to the side sniffing each herb. She nodded. Thats when she decided she would become one. Shadowclan did need help.

She explored every nook and cranny. She peeked out once just to find that it was nearly Sunhigh. If Crowfrost had woken up ealier she would be very cross with her for leaving for so long without permission. She hurried back to find that her mother was just stirring. She made good timing.

"MOM COME ON!" She wailed has her mothers tongue swiped down her gray fur. She was presentable to her standards. Her fur might have smelled like herbs but herbs smelled nice. Did she want that scent to be gone? She squirmed under her moms paws until she was free. She shook her fur and narrowed her eyes."Your turn Spiderkit..." She couldn't help but snicker.

A walk? That sounded nice to her. Perhaps she could find some herbs. She didn't know what they did, or what herbs really were yet, however she got a good whiff of some. Perhaps she could find them by scent? Wouldn't that impress her clan. An ambitious smile crossed her muzzle. Although they were only out to see her father she would have a side quest.

[atrb=border,0,true][bg=black] "Your turn Spiderkit..." "Hm?" Spiderkit opened his eyes and blinked the sleep away. He stood and stretched his paws out in front of him, letting his tail arch over his back for a moment before letting out a huge yawn. It was then that he felt a warm, wet tongue dragging over his fur. "Hey- what?! Mother!!" He yowled in defiance and flipped over onto his back, avoiding her licks at all cost. He could wash himself, for StarClan's sake! "Wolfclaw went out today. I think all of you are old enough for your first walk...." She mewed."Follow me." "Walk?" Spiderkit repeated, startled by his mother's movements as she crawled out of the den. He scurried after her, hot on her tail. They'd never been allowed to leave the camp before! In a way, it was less fun now that he wasn't disobeying anyone. However, now he had his sisters with him. He could have someone to pounce on this time! "Race you!" he shouted to his denmates as he ran passed them. In truth, he didn't know which way the burnt sycamore was, but he could at least beat his siblings through the gorse tunnel and into the territory. He caught sight of a guard at the entrance to the tunnel and grinned mischievously. He'd bet the warrior had never seen a kit pass him with permission, but it didn't stop him from calling after him. "Slow down!" he heard behind him as he raced out of the camp. Spiderkit laughed and twitched his tail, but obeyed when he had to skirt passed a returning hunting patrol. He stared in awe of the amount fresh-kill clamped in their jaws and turned to face his mother. "Can we go hunting too? Please?!" Word Count: 292 Audience: Crowfrost, Icekit, Stormkit Comments: None

[blackie]

Stormkit growled. Chasing after her brother out the camp entrance. She grinned when the Warrior knew that there was nothing that they could have done to stop them. It felt great to know that just as kits, her mother was willing to take them out of the safety of the nuresry. Not many mothers dared to. I guess she trusted them not to get into trouble."SPIDERKIT YOU CHEATER COME BACK HERE!" Stormkit's high pitched voice rang through the forest as she did so.

Crowfrost shook her head."No spiderkit we can't go hunting. Your sister must have scared all the prey away." Her blue eyes were soft as she stepped ahead of them"The burnt Sycamore isn't far I promise." Her pace was slow. Occasionally she stopped to check for danger as well as for her mate.

After awhile, she stopped in front of a large burnt tree."I could tell you the story about this place, however it depends on whether or not you want to hear it." She shrugged. IT was nothing to exciting. Just a tree that was struck by lightning. Where was Wolfclaw? She swung her head side to side in deep frusteration.

"Its the most quiet part in our forest. I will let you explore but stay where I can watch you..." She was scared. She didn't want something to hurt her kits. Her eyes closed for just a moment. She hoped that Stormkit and Spiderkit wouldn't run off. She knew that both were famouse for that. Within moments she was asleep. After a few long moments. A large paw was proding her in the side.....

[atrb=border,0,true][bg=black] "SPIDERKIT YOU CHEATER COME BACK HERE!" Spiderkit simply laughed at his sister's dismay. The word 'cheater' was irrelevant to him. He knew enough by now that there was no fairness in the forest. He'd spent enough time around the elders to hear their stories. It was never fair that one of their friends, or even a mate for that matter, had died either in battle or from sickness. Spiderkit would never claim to be cheated by anyone or anything. He'd do what he could when he could and blame no one for any mishaps that happened along the way. "No spiderkit we can't go hunting. Your sister must have scared all the prey away." "Loudmouth," Spiderkit teased under his breath. "The burnt Sycamore isn't far I promise." The young tom wished it was. He wanted to see the whole territory! Then again, he could do without going back to carrionplace. It stunk up to StarClan! As he followed Crowfrost, Spiderkit instinctively knew they weren't going anywhere near that revolting place. There air was getting fresher as they left camp. The smells originally blocked by the rotting crow-food on his first outing now engulfed the dark tom's nose. "I could tell you the story about this place, however it depends on whether or not you want to hear it." Spiderkit shook his head and continued walking, eyes too focused on the undergrowth around him. He was far too interested in the new sights to listen to a story. Besides, he had had his fill of tales for the moon. He squeaked in surprise as he tripped over his mother's tail. He hadn't noticed she'd stopped. He quickly righted himself before anyone saw. "Its the most quiet part in our forest. I will let you explore but stay where I can watch you..." Somewhere in the distance, he could make out the tasty aroma of a frog. The kit licked his lips and dropped to a crouch when he knew his mother wasn't watching. Wolfclaw gave a loud huff as he streaked through the marsh. He'd ended his warrior duties for the day and was about to join the senior warriors for a kip before heading out on one last patrol. That was when he'd remembered to meet Crowfrost by the Burnt Sycamore. Hoping he wasn't too late, he raced across the territory, following his mate's scent at top speed. He slowed his pace, however, when he caught sight of the dark tree. He could hear his kits. So she really had brought them out of camp! He couldn't believe it! But then, they were almost ready to be apprenticed anyway. One little jaunt outside the camp couldn't hurt. The tabby tom crept up behind his family, curiosity getting the better of him. He wanted to observe the four before showing himself. He saw Crowfrost starting to nod off and thanked StarClan he had showed up when he had. Being a queen must be exhausting! He didn't blame her for wanting to get some sleep while she could. His kits were being very quiet for their first time outside and in time, he saw why. Spiderkit had dropped to an instinctive hunting crouch. Intrigued, he focused on the dark tom. Spiderkit gathered his paws under him. The frog was a whole two tail-lengths away. He could jump that far... He could! He watched it for a moment, blue eyes narrowed as he zeroed in on his target. It was completely unaware of him. It had spotted some flies near by and was waiting anxiously for them to get nearer. Like a frog himself, Spiderkit launched his body forward with his hind legs, his front claws unsheathed. In a blink, he landed on the animal and swiftly ended it life with a bite to the back of its head. With a triumphant yowl, he picked up his prey and returned to the Burnt Sycamore. He dropped the dead frog in the clearing for all to see. "Ha!" came his single-syllable gloat. "Well caught!" Wolfclaw couldn't bare to be invisible any longer. He jumped out of the bushes, not even trying to hide the pride that showed through every hair on his pelt and shown brightly in his eyes. Urgently, he began prodding his mate awake with his paw. "Crowfrost! Wake up and see what our son has killed!" Word Count: 725 Audience: Crowfrost, Stormkit Comments: None

[blackie]

Stormkit, of course was the one to wander off. Her eyes were focused on a red cardinal."You know Card, can I Call you that?"She laughed she must have sounded so silly, but she could understand other animals. It was a unique gift. Not only that but she could speak the tongue of other animals as well. She would use this skill eventually and not just to make her sound crazy."I don't like eating birds very much, so you don't have to worry about me." Her eyes bounced with amusement as her tail swayed from side to side."Is it interesting being able to fly?" She got a few tweets and response and smiled."Thats good."

Crowfrost stirred. Her eyes heavy at first, but she woke up fairly quickly. She wasn't sure what to say. Spiderkit caught a frog."Go ahead, eat it. WE aren't on a hunting patrol" Crowfrost smiled warmly."You were our smallest kit Spiderkit, however out of all three you have grown the most. You will make us proud one day. I can see you being a great warrior."

Stormkit could hear chit chatting. However she ignored it."Well mr.Card, it was nice chatting with you." She didn't care who was listening at this point in time. She knew she wasn't crazy, however that didn't mean that others did not think she was a nut, a loon. She grinned as the red bird flew off. Not what to do.

Her pale green eyes fell on a green plant that swayed in a small wind. They widened with pleasure as she trotted toward it."oooh..." To bad she couldn't understand plants. She would have been able to ask it what kind of plant it was. She dug her white teeth into the root and pulled it out. This had to be useful right? She started to head back towards the tree when she heard her mother wail in distress. Obviously wondering where she had gone. Within moments she was back." I'm here" She mewed. Placing the herb at her mothers paws.

[atrb=border,0,true][bg=black] Wolfclaw raised a brow and turned toward his daughter as she was chattering less than a fox-length away. Talking to a cardinal? Alright.. To each their own. He turned back to his son and purred as the runt of the litter nudged his kill closer to his parents. The tom sat down next to his mate as she began speaking. "Go ahead, eat it. We aren't on a hunting patrol. You were our smallest kit Spiderkit, however out of all three you have grown the most. You will make us proud one day. I can see you being a great warrior." "I want to take it to the elders," Spiderkit mewed, growing impatient with his mother's praise. He didn't like being reminded that he was small. The very thought of it made his fur bristle. And besides, maybe if Willowstar saw him doing something a 'paw would do, maybe she would give him a mentor! Wolfclaw purred in amusement, understanding glistening in his eyes. He nodded and crouched, brushing his fur against Crowfrost's and folding his front paws under his chest. He gave the gray she-cat's ear a thoughtful lick before turning again to the dark kit. "We'll take that back to camp in a moment. First, I'd like to speak with Crowfrost. Would you keep your sisters occupied for me?" "Yes, Wolfclaw," the younger tom answered without pausing to bow respectfully to his father. Instead, he turned and prepared himself to leap onto Stormkit as she entered the clearing. "I'm here," she mewed, placing a plant at Crowfrost's feet. The relevance of the greenery confused him, but he didn't dwell on it. It was his father's wish that he keep his sisters' attention away from their parents. And that was just what he was going to do. "Feel my fangs, Elkstar!" he yowled as he charged his sister, "I am Spiderstar! Leader of ShadowClan!" "That's my tom-kit," Wolfclaw murmured to himself as his children amused themselves for a while. After licking his paw for a brief moment, he turned to his mate, eyes heavy with concern and worry, "I wanted to talk to you... About WindClan..." In the scuffle, Spiderkit rose up from the mass of fur, looking around curiously. Why did he suddenly feel anxious? Finally, he layed eyes on his father's face, his expression almost grim. What was wrong? And why had he sensed those feelings? So many questions ran through his head now and there was no one to answer them. Word Count: 415 Audience: Crowfrost, Stormkit Comments: None

Crowfrost smiled as Stormkit dropped a small plant at her paws. "seems like your brother is good at hunting and your talent lies in the Medicine cats den." She did not want to dissapoint her daughter, but Shadowclan had no Medicine cat, there was no one to mentor her and teach her everything there was to know. Perhaps Willowstar knew that Stormkit had wanted to be an apprentice of a healer, maybe she had a plan.

Her blue eyes suddenly turned cold. Windclan. She got nervous. She stepped away from her kits and padded a far distance away so the kits did not have to hear the conversation that they would be having. She knew that she would not be leaving shadowclan to switch clans. She had grown up here, and she did not want to leave the area where she felt closest to her parents. She couldn't. However she knew that one tom did want to leave Shadowclan to be on the moor and that was her mate.

"
I want to go with you wolfclaw.."She mewed but there was some doubt in her voice. Ever since willowstars outbreak, she had just been thinking. She had an out break herself. Her bitter remark about sending her whole family, but she had changed her mind quickly, and apologized to her leader."Well, im not quite sure yet..."

She shuffled her paws and looked at him." I might send Stormkit over to Windclan, to be with you." she mewed. "only because she wants to heal, and she can't do so without a mentor. I know blackmoon would teach her just fine, perhaps....just maybe, it would work out better for her than for me. Yes that is what I will do, and I will let Willowstar know as soon as I can."


Stormkit looked at her mother. She sat down next to her brother, her eyes filled with a strong dissapointment."something isn't right spiderkit." she began, her pale green eyes starting to fill with worry." I think mom and dad are fight but I'm not sure, your the smallest see if you can sneak over and listen in on their conversation, unless you already know what's going to happen..."

[atrb=border,0,true][bg=black] "Seems like your brother is good at hunting and your talent lies in the Medicine cats den." Wolfclaw looked at his daughter and purred. Medicine Cat! Now that was what ShadowClan needed! StarClan had indeed blessed them, but the tom wondered how she would be taught the ways of a healer. Even if Dewcloud survived this sickness until she could be apprenticed, how could he show her what to do? Illness had all but paralyzed her. StarClan knew... Spiderkit batted at his sister's tail and tried harder to lead her away from the older cats. Thankfully, his mother moved off and Wolfclaw followed quickly, determined to speak his mind. The dark kit wriggled his haunches and pounced, giggling at the responce and jumping away from any counter attack. "I want to go with you wolfclaw.. Well, im not quite sure yet..." The tom nodded in understanding. There was no going back after the choice was made. He wished he could take her with him, but Crowfrost had to want to come along. Not only did Wolfclaw feel the pull of the moor, but he sensed the urgency there. The clan would fall without more warriors, but they needed warriors who would get along with one another. Concerned as he was, the tom was willing to put aside differences in order to bring the clan to full strength. "I might send Stormkit over to Windclan, to be with you." "Send? But-" The tabby could hardly believe the words Crowfrost had spoken and it was hard to focus on her next statements. She-cats were supposed to be protective of their young! Especially their first litter! And besides the fact that she was willing to practically give her away, Stormkit was old enough now to make her own decisions. Surely she should be the one to choose where her future was? "Only because she wants to heal, and she can't do so without a mentor. I know Blackmoon would teach her just fine, perhaps....just maybe, it would work out better for her than for me. Yes that is what I will do, and I will let Willowstar know as soon as I can." "I don't know about that..." Wolfclaw admitted as he sat down and looked at his paws, "I know it would probably be best not to go directly behind ShadowClan's back, but I fear what she would say. Still... Better to let her know than to risk being called a traitor and having an attack plan layed out for WindClan..." "Something isn't right spiderkit," Anxiety, doubt, worry, fear, darkness... The feelings clouded Spiderkit's mind and pressed into his own, suffocating his thoughts and keeping him from playing any longer. He sat down mid-attack and let his head hang below his shoulders. His tail grew limp and his eyes glazed as he looked at his paws. There was no cause for these feelings! He didn't want them! Why were they bothering him?! "I think mom and dad are fight but I'm not sure, your the smallest see if you can sneak over and listen in on their conversation, unless you already know what's going to happen..." "I don't knooww..." he moaned as he layed down and covered his head with his paws, "My head hurts..." Word Count: 668 Audience: Crowfrost, Stormkit Comments: None

"Stormkit is special."She mewed. Her blue eyes heistant in her speaking. "She talked to a bird....she had a full conversation with a bird....she talked to a rabbit...she...she talks to animals..." She mewed."What can she do here without no mentor, She has been blessed, and she is needed in Windclan. If you plan to leave, let me know when. I will have Stormkit go with you. I think she has been pulled to the moor as well." A warm smile formed on her muzzle.

"I will still Love you Wolfclaw." She mewed, hoping to lift the tom's hopes up."Willowstar isn't at her best, Duskfrost vanished...Dewcloud...." She continued."I think I have a chance at saving Shadowclan."She mewed."That's What I want to do." She ended. Yes she wanted to save her clan. What else could she really do?

"If there is the slightest chance that I can become deputy....Shadowclan can be restored. Wolfclaw, perhaps one day you will lead Windclan." Crowstar...Wolfstar, two mates, two clans." We will fix things. I have my own journey in this clan. When it is complete. Perhaps I will join you. However my own adventure has just begun." However she had doubts in her mind that Shadowclan can be saved."If perhaps I think this over, and see Shadowclan can be saved....I will join you soon."

Stormkit looked at her brother and rolled her eyes. Couldn't he do anything right? Her eyes trailed to a red bird in a tree."I have an idea..." She whispered. She moved stealthly under the brush. Moving towards the tree where her friend had landed.

"Mr.Card!" She mewed softly but with excitement."I need you to fly near that tree over there where the two adult cats are talking. When they are done tell me what they were saying yes?" She didn't have to say anymore and the bird flew off."Sometimes I think Spiderkit, that my talen is better than yours..." With that she stuck her tongue out and simply waited.

She mewed."What can she do here without no mentor, She has been blessed, and she is needed in Windclan. If you plan to leave, let me know when. I will have Stormkit go with you. I think she has been pulled to the moor as well." Wolfclaw finally nodded in understanding. There would be no future for Stormkit here. She couldn't learn without a mentor. More importantly, he knew that his mate wanted their daughter to be safe and looked after. Wolfclaw would happily oblige. What's more is ShadowClan would also be less likely to attack when they had young blood across the border. It could help. "The kits are weaned," he observed thoughtfully, "When Stagpaw's finished his training, I'll tell Willowstar I'm leaving. But I don't want it all over camp until I'm across the border." "I will still Love you Wolfclaw." She mewed, "Willowstar isn't at her best, Duskfrost vanished... Dewcloud... I think I have a chance at saving Shadowclan. That's What I want to do." The tom remained silent. He could see why she wanted to help her clan so much. She had a life here. Wolfclaw was little more than a nuisance. Other than training Stagpaw, there really wasn't much for him to do, especially now that Snakerocks no longer belonged to ShadowClan (thank StarClan for that). "If there is the slightest chance that I can become deputy....Shadowclan can be restored. Wolfclaw, perhaps one day you will lead Windclan. We will fix things. I have my own journey in this clan. When it is complete. Perhaps I will join you. However my own adventure has just begun." "I'm not fit to lead anyone older than twelve moons, Crowfrost. You know that," he chuckled, "But I do hope our paths will cross again. I'll miss you." Spiderkit looked over to his parents, his mind spinning. Why did they have to be so sad? It washed over him like steady raindrops and made him question everything. Something was lost and something else was unknown and scary, some distant thought. But there was no reason he should be feeling these things! They were his parents emotions, not his! Slowly, his mind began to put the pieces together, but he remained in denial. It wasn't possible. He couldn't sense things that were beyond his own fur. Word Count: 408 Audience: Crowfrost, Stormkit Comments: None

Crowfrost let our a warm purr. Gently she touched her muzzle to his."I will keep your secret..."She mewed. Would this be considered breaking the code. Would this be her only litter of kits? She was fairly family oriented and did not want this to be her last. Would she have to tak on another mate? She didn't want to, Wolfclaw was... her one and only wasn't he? How would they make this work? She didn't let the sad thoughts overwhelm her. She still had time with her mate, and in which case she would carefully talk it over with him.
"A forbidden love, I never thought I would do such a thing, however I will do what ever it takes, even if it means to break the warrior code." She smiled warmly.

Stormkit watched her friend move back to her. Her pale green eyes filling with distress. Windclan? Her father was going to Windclan? She was going to Windclan?"Daddy is leaving Spiderkit..."She mewed softly..."And I'm going with him..."


ooc:VERY low muse.....

[Deleted]

[atrb=border,0,true][bg=black] "I will keep your secret..." Wolfclaw pressed against her muzzle, wishing to savor each of these last moments with his mate. When he left, they would only see each other at Gatherings. StarClan forbid they would glimpse one another across the border or in a battle. He wouldn't be able to live with himself. "A forbidden love, I never thought I would do such a thing, however I will do what ever it takes, even if it means to break the warrior code." "Crowfrost... I-I don't want to force you to do what you know is wrong. The only way I'll see you is if we're both chosen to go to Fourtrees on the full moon. If..." Wolfclaw paused to take a deep breath, "If you get lonely... I'll understand if you take a new mate. One within your own border..." The words had to be pulled from the tom's muzzle like a snake clinging onto the branches of a tree. He didn't want to let Crowfrost go, but it would be dangerous if they ever saw each other apart from across the oak-surrounded clearing. Their loyalties would be questioned and they could be killed, blinded, or kicked out of their respective clans to live their lives as rogues. Wolfclaw would never be welcomed back to ShadowClan, but if Crowfrost was exiled, there was a chance she could join WindClan. Even so, he knew it'd be torture for her to know there was the possibility that she would have to face her kits in battle. The only chance they had at being even remotely happy would be to stop this relationship and find new love, no matter how much it hurt them to do it. "Daddy is leaving Spiderkit... And I'm going with him..." Now Spiderkit was on the verge of tears. The pain was ripping at his mind like long, sharp claws. It hurt so much! Why was he so sad? This new information was just enough to pull him away from his thoughts, but the emotion stayed there and his sobs continued. "L-leaving? Why? Where are you going?"

"Crowfrost... I-I don't want to force you to do what you know is wrong. The only way I'll see you is if we're both chosen to go to Fourtrees on the full moon. If..." Wolfclaw paused to take a deep breath, "If you get lonely... I'll understand if you take a new mate. One within your own border..."

Crowfrost simply shook her head."I won't pick a new mate within my own boarders." She responded with a light sparkle in her blue eyes."I know it is wrong in the code, but it is right in my heart. I am willing to break the code for you." She mewed softly. However a pain tugged at her heart. She knew there would be battles would she have to attack her own mate? She suddenly felt sick to her stomache. The thought of hurting her mate hurt her.

"There will be battles without a doubt..." She whispered."I will not attack you...you will not attack me...or Spiderkit...." She mewed."Not even if your are told to. I know I will betray my own loyalty and not shed my claws."She mewed, now being serious. She knew that this would be very difficult."I may join you wolfclaw, if Shadowclan can't be saved."

Stormkit bit her lip nervously. "Spiderkit...Promise you won't tell mommy and daddy..." She would keep Wolfclaw in this camp as long as she could. Her blue eyes burning with anger. She did have a future in Shadowclan."They want to bring me to Windclan because i Have no future here." She started."Don't tell....I'm running away...."

I know I will betray my own loyalty and not show my claws. I may join you wolfclaw, if Shadowclan can't be saved." Wolfclaw gave a heavy sigh and layed his head on his paws. The weight they were going to carry rested precariously in his mind. They were balanced on a log over a raging current. One wrong step would send their world tumbling into cold darkness and possibly kill them. As long as their loyalties were divided between clan and kin, their futures were as unknown as mist. "You know I would welcome you into WindClan as soon as you step paw across the border. But we can't keep this up. I won't harm you or our kits, but we have to focus on our separate clans until fate brings us together again." He picked his head up once more and turned to the she-cat, eyes clouded with sadness. "You know I would give the world for you, Crowfrost, but I can't let you put yourself in danger for me. Stay here. Help ShadowClan with all your might. Put everything you can into it. Forget about me. Only if you're forced to come and join WindClan, seek me out." The tom couldn't let her argue. He loved her too much. He gave her an affectionate lick on the ear before getting to his paws and forcing himself to move toward the ShadowClan camp as quick as his paws could carry him. Now he was happy that his ears weren't working so well. He couldn't bare to hear her call him back. "Spiderkit...Promise you won't tell mommy and daddy... They want to bring me to Windclan because i Have no future here. Don't tell....I'm running away...." "B-but where? You c-can't learn to be a Medicine cat without a mentor. You'd be better off in WindClan... At least to learn what you can from Blackmoon and come back..." Word Count: 378 Audience: Crowfrost, Stormkit Comments: No muse for Spiderkit at the moment...

[blackie]

Stormkit let out a low vicious growl."STARCLAN WILL MENTOR ME!" She suddenly felt power grow in her paws. A nasty look formed in her pale green eyes. Her parents where occupied, now would almost be to pefect to escape, but not yet, she would wait until Moonhigh so she could at least bid her siblings goodbye. She wasn't quite sure where she would go. Perhaps to where Starclan could speak to her. She had to know the future of her, her parents, her brother, where she would belong.

"I will not go to Windclan. I can't believe one would be so mouse brained. Windclan won't make it. It will be such a waste...." She spat, her mothers bitter anger suiddenly began to show in the she-cat."I will leave at moonhigh Spiderkit, that way I can bid you a proper goodbye..." WIth that she spun around, her tail held high and began to walk away.
