Hazelkit lifted his head sleepily, “Featherfall?” He glanced around, looking for the medicine cat. “Featherfall, where are you?” He cried. He stared at the death berries, terror filling his eyes. “Featherfall!” He cried, there was no response. “Help me! Featherfall, where are you?”
Hazelkit woke with a start and swiveled his head around, desperately searching for Featherfall. “Featherfall?” He called, stepping out of the nest, “Where are you?” His dream came back to him and he started to panic. “Featherfall?! Where did you go?” He cried, voice panicked
~Featherfall~
He had entered the den again, immediately rushing to him.
“I’m right here Hazelkit, I’m right here.”
He started to lick Hazelkit’s head again, wrapping his tail around Hazelkit and pulling him closer.
Hazelkit whimpered quietly and stayed close to Featherfall’s side, “where did you go?” He asked curiously after a moment to calm down
~Featherfall~
“I just went to check on your mother..”
He turned to the death berries, wrapping them up.
“I’ll be right back.”
His voice was muffled, he then left the den and camp, disposing of the berries.
Hazelkit watched him and peeked his head out of the den, “where’s mummy?” He asked, looking around, “you said you were talking to her.”
~Featherfall~
“She’s in the clearing, would you like me to bring you to her?”
He returned to Hazelkit, waiting for his response patiently.
Hazelkit shook his head, “I’d rather stay here, with you.” He admitted, “Mummy might make me play with Leafkit and Marshkit, but I don’t wanna.”
~Featherfall~
“Well what would you like to do, little one?”
Hazelkit shrugged, “I don’t know,” he meowed. After a moment he started exploring the herbs, “What’s that one called?” He asked curiously, nosing a large leaf
“Leafkit! Marshkit!” Blackkit yelled, “Let’s play!!”
Blackkit passed them a mossball
Marshkit nodded excitedly and ran over, pouncing on the moss. “I got it!” She yowled triumphantly.
Leafkit darted over, “Not for long!” He headbutted her away from the moss and passed it to Blackkit. “Keep it away from Marshkit!” He called, ducking his sister’s playful hits.
Marshkit started running over to Blackkit. All of a sudden she slipped on the leaves, tripped on her own paws, and hit her head on a rock.
“Marshkit!” Leafkit cried, darting over to her.
Marshkit groaned, “I’m fine,” she meowed, shakily standing up. “Let’s keep playing.” She shook her head to clear the dizziness and walked over to Blackkit, still unsteady on her feet. “Let’s play something else,” she suggested, head hurting from the fall
“Okay, what do you want to play?” Blackkit asked then mewed hopefully, “Catch the warrior’s tail?”
Marshkit smiled mischievously, “Yeah! That’s the best!” She meowed excitedly. Without another word she creeped over to where Emberstream was sitting, her back turned from the kits. Marshkit got ready to pounce.
“Don’t even think about it,” Emberstream meowed without turning her head.
Marshkit jumped in surprise and darted back toward Blackkit, partially limping. “How’d she know?” She asked, confused.
“I don’t know…” Blackkit said, “OH WAIT! I DO! SHE HAS SUPERSENSES! Like the legend about Dovewing? In her story, didn’t she have super senses?”
After Blackkit asked that, he quietly crept off, and pounced on Featherfall’s tail. Then he ran back to Marshkit as fast as he could, then he burst out laughing, “That was so funny! And your brother keeps hanging out in there… weird.”
~Featherfall~
He turned his head, looking at the kits, he smiled a bit. Before turning his attention back to Hazelkit
Marshkit flattened her ears, “My brother is not weird!” She protested, “he just doesn’t like to roughhouse.” She smoothed her chest fur. “Let’s go get someone’s tail,” she suggested trying to cover up for her outburst
“I didn’t say that!” Blackkit protested, “I said it’s weird he hangs out there!”
Blackkit crept off to Moonfall and pounced on her tail and rolled around, started laughing. Then he crept up on Emberstream, and even though she told him not to, he pounced on her tail and batted it around for a sec, then ran back to Marshkit.
“Hey, Marshkit, where’s Leafkit?” Blackkit asked, “Also, I pounced on Moonfall’s tail, and I pounced and batted your mom’s tail!” Blackkit started laughing
Marshkit smiled and pointed to Leafkit, “He’s daydreaming, again.” She meowed. Silently, she creeped up to her brother and pounced on him, pinning him down. “Got you!” She yowled happily.
Leafkit squirmed under her tight grip, “alright, now get off,” he grumbled. Marshkit hopped off him and smiled, “I did get you, though.” She meowed excitedly.
Leafkit stalked over to Blackkit, “Girls are weird,” he muttered under his breath.
Marshkit’s eyes grew wide with hurt and she hung her head. Without another word she darted out of camp, fighting back tears
“Marshkit!” Blackkit cried and followed her, “MARSHKIT! Where are you going? Your not allowed out here!”
When she didn’t answer, Blackkit yelled, “MARSHKIT! What’s up?”
Marshkit quickened her pace and darted under a Holly bush. She curled around the stem and tried to steady her breathing. After a moment she laid her tail over her face and unsuccessfully tried not to cry
Snowkit pounced by Blackkit and tripped over a branch.
“Are you okay?” Blackkit asked
(Responding to Emberstream)
~Featherfall~
“Those are beech leaves, they let me carry other herbs.”
He then nosed a leaf with a tangy smell
“This is dock, this can soothe scratches and sore pads.”
Hazelkit stared intensely at the herbs and tried to memorize the look. “This one smells sweet!” He squeaked, wrinkling his nose at another plant
~Featherfall~
“That’s Chervil! It helps bellyaches and it can be used for kitting, too!”
He nosed over a herb, it had white flowers on it, seemingly resembling dandelions.
“Do you know what this is?”
Hazelkit thought hard for a moment before exclaiming, “I know it! It’s, um…” He furrowed his forehead in concentration. “Mummy used it with Leafkit once,” he paused. “Coltsfoot!” He cried, giving a little bounce of excitement. “It’s coltsfoot!” He twirled happily and fell on the floor with a small thump. “It is coltsfoot, right?” He asked, looking up at Featherfall
~Featherfall~
“Good job You’re right! It eases breathing, or kitten cough, along with cracked or sore pads!”
He purred, licking the top of Hazelkit’s head.
Hazelkit’s smile grew wide and he purred happily. “Just wait till I tell Marshkit and Leafkit that I have the bestest teacher in the whole wide world!” He exclaimed excitedly
~Featherfall~
“Aw.. Thank you. I’m sure they’ll believe you!”
His heart warmed at the thought of it, he’d love to mentor Hazelkit!
Hazelkit purred and pricked his ears. “Where’s Marshkit?” He asked, ears twitching. He peeked his head out the den. “She’s gone!” He cried, darting toward Leafkit. “Where’s Marshkit?!” He yelled, knowing his brother had a tendency to upset his sister.
Leafkit dipped his head guiltily, “Keep your fur on,” he snapped. “She just left camp for a bit. She’ll be fine.”
Hazelkit swung his head toward the entrance, “you just let her go?!?!” He cried, turning back to Leafkit. “What were you thinking?!” He snapped. “You know what, I don’t want to know.” He snarled.
Leafkit narrowed his eyes, “Fine.” He muttered, stalking away from Marshkit.
Marshkit turned back to the entrance, ears strained forward and tried to listen for Marshkit.
Emberstream darted toward him, “Hazelkit, what’s going on?” She asked, eyes trained on Leafkit.
“Mummy, Marshkit’s gone!” He wailed, “Leafkit made her mad and she left!”
Emberstream’s eyes widened and she shook her head, “No, no…” She staggered, legs shaking unsteadily. “Not again, not again.” She mumbled.
(hey, Emberstream, is Hazelkit gonna become med app? I think he should be)
(yeah, is that ok?)
(YES I WANT THAT! HES SOO CUTE)
(I love his innocence and kindness so much rn 😝)
(Replying to Emberstream)
“Marshkit?” Blackkit asked, his eyes clouded with worry, “Are you okay?”
Blackkit ducked under the holly bush, and laid next to Marshkit.
“Don’t listen to Leafkit! Your so awesome! Not weird…” Blackkit waited for an answer, but when he didn’t hear one, he said, “Come back to camp with me.”
Marshkit took a shuddery breath, “But- but what if he’s right?” She whimpered, “What if I am weird and-and other cats make fun of me?” She buried her head in her paws.
“You’re not!” Blackkit insisted, his voice filled with empathy, “You’re the bestest cat in the whole wide world!” (ignore Blackkit’s terrible grammar)
Blackkit snuggled next to Marshkit, and he rested his head on her, “You’re so awesome, and you’ll be the bestest warrior, and we be the bestest friends, and all warriors, even MothClan will stare in awe, because they want to be as good as us, but never will!” (I kinda made Blackkit speak like a little baby, lol)
Marshkit smiled a little bit, “You think so?” She asked, “Really?” She closed her eyes and tried to envision it. “Ok, we can go back to camp now,” she meowed. She carefully stood, trying to prick herself on the holly leaves. She shook her head to clear what Leafkit had said, he’s just upset right now, he’ll get over it. She thought. She turned to Blackkit and smiled, “Thanks, Blackkit.” She said.
(Lol, It just made this scene even more adorable)
Marshkit smiled, “you think so?” She asked. “Ok, I’ll come back to camp.” She stood, being careful of the Holly leafs. “Thanks, Blackkit,” she purred quietly
“Yeah!!” Blackkit exclaimed, “Lets go back.”
He followed the scent trail, and Blackkit smelt another scent trail.
“Wait, I smell my sister!” Blackkit said, could it be?, “Let’s follow that trail!”
Marshkit nodded excitedly, “Maybe we could find her and bring her back!” She meowed hopefully
The two kittens followed the scent trail, and sure enough, it was Seakit. But there was another cat with her.
“Oakpaw!” Blackkit exclaimed.
“Blackkit? Is that you? And Marshkit?” Seakit asked.
(i love Blackkit and Marshkit together, they r soo cute…)
Marshkit bounced excitedly, “Hi, Seakit!” She exclaimed happily. “We found you!”
“Um, NO!” Seakit exclaimed, then sqeaked “I found you guys! Umm, does anyone know there way back?”
Blackkit shook his head, “Oakpaw might.”
Marshkit smiled and twirled a little, “Now Blackkit won’t be sad!” She exclaimed happily. She looked up at Oakpaw, “Hi!” She squeaked
~Featherfall~
The tom approached Hollystar.
“Hollystar, may we talk?”
“Yes, of course!” Hollystar said, “What’s going on?”
~Featherfall~
“I was wondering, if, by any chance, I could mentor Hazelkit? He seemed so interested in herbs and I would love to teach him! But please make sure he wants to be my apprentice..”
He didn’t know why he asked, but he did.
His tail swished with a bit of nervousness
“He’d be a great medicine cat!” Hollystar exclaimed, “Did you get a message from StarClan??”
M- I’ll pretend he did!)
~Featherfall~
“I believe so, Yes. I found a hazelnut inside my herb storage..”
“Of course, make sure to ask Emberstream if he wants to.” Hollystar said, “And, I believe he’s almost ready to become an apprentice, along with his littermates and Blackkit.”
~Featherfall~
“I will!:
He bounded off to find Emberstream
Emberstream paced the clearing anxiously muttering to herself. “Featherfall? What are you doing?” She asked, pausing and staring at him curiously
~Featherfall~
“I was trying to find you.. Are you alright?”
Emberstream looked away, “Marshkit got upset and ran out of camp. Blackkit followed her,” she whispered. “I didn’t even notice that she was gone. My son had to point it out to me!” She cried, eyes filled with anguish. “And now I don’t know where Marshkit is, and I can’t leave because I don’t want the kits to follow me and-” she paused and took a deep breath. “maybe clan life isn’t for me and my kits,” she whispered to herself. She shook her head and looked up at Featherfall. “I’m sorry, what did you need?” She asked quietly, trying to gather her emotions
“Hi!” Seakit squeaked to Marshkit.
“let’s get back to camp, I’m bored,” Marshkit meowed. “And when we get back, we can play and Leafkit will see that girls aren’t weird and I won’t be alone!” She exclaimed happily. She glanced at Blackkit, “At least not as alone,” she meowed with a small smile
Blackkit smiled back, and Seakit teased, “Someone has a crush!”
“Stop!!” Blackkit yelled at her, pouncing on her but Seakit got up easily, and pinned him down.
“Got you.” Seakit squeaked.
Marshkit blushed at Seakit’s words, but covered it up well. “Come on, wait till the warriors see how we got you back! We’ll be made apprentices before you can say ‘mouse’!” She exclaimed happily
Blackkit ran after her, quickly catching up.
“I told you Blackkit had a crush on her!” Seakit whispered to Oakpaw, then she bounced after them.
Marshkit’s ear twitched when she heard Seakit, but she ignored her. “Let’s go!” She meowed, her tone was not bossy, but not nice either
Blackkit bounded after Marshkit, and soon they were back in camp.
~Featherfall~
He pitied the troubled queen…
“That can wait. I understand that you are nervous, wrecked. If you think clan life isn’t for you, then it might not be. But I believe it is. You fit in just easily, you made a mistake, Yes. But that does not mean you have to give up, perhaps you could talk to them?”
Emberstream sighed, “I don’t know,” she began. Then she shook herself, “You’re right, I shouldn’t give up just because of one mistake. Marshkit is bound to come back,” she meowed the next part under her breath, “and when she does she’s gonna get a long talking to.” She looked around. “Thank you,” she said, “Now, what do you need to talk to me about?” She regained her composure and flicked her tail curiously
~Featherfall~
“I was going to ask about Hazelkit, I was wondering if he’d like to be my apprentice..”
(I really don’t know how to ask, sorry! </3)
Emberstream glanced at Hazelkit, “You can ask him,” she meowed distractedly. “If he says he wants to, go ahead.”
~Featherfall~
“Very well.. Are you sure you’re okay?
She didn’t seem okay he was still worried.
Emberstream nodded absentmindedly, “I’m fine,” she meowed without looking at him.
Hazelkit bounced over to Featherfall, “What are you doing?” He asked Featherfall curiously
~Featherfall~
“I was just talking to your mother.. I have a question for you, little one. It’s nothing bad!”
“Ok!” Hazelkit squeaked. He looked up at Featherfall with round eyes and waited patiently for Featherfall to speak again
~Featherfall~
“Would you like me to mentor you, when you’re of age?”
Hazelkit smiled hugely and quickly nodded, “Yes! Oh, yes! Oh, yes!” He exclaimed excitedly. He purred and rubbed against Featherfall happily
“Featherfall?” Splashpool frantically asked, “I haven’t seen Oakpaw in days! I’m such a terrible mentor…. Actually, I haven’t seen him since the attack!”
Splashpool laid down and put her head in her paws, she started panicking.
~FeatherfalL~
“Alright, deep breaths Splashpool. When did you last see him? Was he nearby? Did he ever come..back from the attack?”
Featherfall wasn’t so sure himself.. What if Oakpaw was hurt?
“I-I don’t think he ever came back after!” she sobbed.
~Featherfall~
“Splashpool, take deep breaths.”
He laid down beside her, trying to calm her down.
Hollystar leaped onto the Shineleaf.
“I have decided on a deputy!” Hollystar declared, “Willowstrike, do you accept the role of deputy?”
Emberstream glanced up at Hollystar and listened, ears pricked forward
~Willowstrike~
His ears pricked, and he turned his head to Hollystar.
“I do.”
(I don’t know if you have the same deputy ceremony as the normal warrior cats, if you do lemme know!)
“Then Willowstrike is the new deputy of HollyClan,” Hollystar said. “I also sadly bring some troubling news. Blackkit and Marshkit are somewhere in the forest, so Willowstrike, I’d like you to send out some patrols to find them.”
Right when she said that, Oakpaw, Seakit, Marshkit, and Blackkit walked into camp.
“Oakpaw!” Splashpool cried.
Emberstream bounded over to Marshkit and started furiously licking her, “Don’t you ever do that again!” She ordered.
Marshkit rolled her eyes, “Yes, mummy,” she muttered
“I rescued her!” Blackkit squeaked to Emberstream, “And we found Seakit and Oakpaw!!”
“No!” Seakit exclaimed, “I found my own way back!”
Marshkit pretended to glare at him, but ended up smiling. “Yeah, I guess you did,” she meowed quietly.
Emberstream flicked her tail in surprise at Marshkit’s response. If anyone else had told her that, they would have regretted it. She smiled, “I’m sure both of you helped each other get back,” she meowed to Seakit
Seakit started laughing, “You’re funny, Emberstream!”
Emberstream smiled fondly at Seakit, “I’m glad,” she meowed. “Have you seen your mother yet?” She asked
“No.” Seakit said.
Wavepool rushed over, “Oh, my poor kit! What did they do to you?!”
“Nothing really, I just got hungry sometimes.” Seakit replied
Emberstream smiled at the reunion and curled her tail around Marshkit. “Why don’t you find Leafkit?” She suggested to Marshkit, unaware that Leafkit had made her upset in the first place
Blackkit quickly saved Marshkit from seeing her brother, “Come on, let’s go find something good to eat!”
Marshkit nodded, casting a relieved and grateful look at Blackkit. “Thank you,” she whispered.
Emberstream tipped her head at the kits and watched them go. She turned to Wavepool and Seakit, “How are you feeling?” She asked Seakit. “Why don’t you go with Blackkit and Marshkit and get something to eat?” She vaguely remember Seakit saying something about being hungry.
Marshkit reached the fresh kill pile and glanced at Blackkit mischievously. She waited until he wasn’t looking and quickly hid, putting a dead rat in her place. Just wait till he realizes, she thought with a suppressed giggle of excitement
Blackkit looked around, and realized Marshkit was playing. He sniffed her out, and after a little, he found her and pounced on her.
“Lovebirds!” Seakit exclaimed while eating a mouse.
Marshkit puffed out her fur at Seakit’s comment and rolled her eyes, “Ok, Seakit,” she mumbled. She turned to Blackkit and smiled, “I’m gonna go find Hazelkit, ok?” She meowed, not wanting to hurt his feelings
“Okay!” Blackkit said, and ran and ate with Seakit.
Marshkit started running over to Hazelkit, but stopped when she saw Leafkit sitting in the shadows of camp, head bowed sadly. She slowly walked over to him and sat next to him. “Are you ok?” She asked worriedly
Leafkit sniffled and turned his back to her, “I’m fine,” he whispered hoarsely.
Marshkit shifted closer and started to clean his fur, content to sit in silence.
“Marshkit, I’m so sorry,” Leafkit whimpered quietly, body now shaking. “I-I shouldn’t have said what I did.” He glanced up at her with wide, anxious eyes. “Do you think you can forgive me?” He asked, voice barely more than a whisper.
Marshkit purred, “Of course, Leafkit,” she flicked her tail happily. “But,” She got a mischievous glint in her eyes. “You have to stand up and tell everyone that you’re a annoying furrball.”
Leafkit squirmed uncomfortably, “But, Marshkit-”
“No ‘but’,” Marshkit inturupted. “Now say it.”
Leafkit sighed dramatically and stood up. He glanced at all the cats, “I am a annoying furrball!” He yelled, voice getting slightly higher at the end.
Blackkit burst out laughing. Seakit rolled her eyes
Marshkit’s eyes were sparkling as she trotted back over to Blackkit and Seakit, head held high happily.
Leafkit followed, rolling his eyes at his sister’s confident walk. “I am never doing that again,” he hissed, annoyed.
Marshkit shrugged, “Ok!” She meowed. She turned her back on him and went over to Blackkit.
Leafkit stuck his tounge out at her before walking over to Seakit, “Welcome back,” he grumbled, still embarrassed about what Marshkit made him do
“Thanks…” Seakit responded.
~Featherfall~
He smiled, licking the kit’s head.
“Alright, I’ll let Holylstar know your choice. How about you go play while you still cn, before you’re suck with me”
He gently nudged Hazelkit towards his siblings
Hazelkit sighed heavily, “but, Featherfall-” he stopped when he realized Featherfall was already walking away. He trudged over to the rest of the kits, feeling awkward and clumsy around them
“What’s wrong?” Seakit asked, “I sense something is wrong…”
Hazelkit sighed, “No, nothing’s wrong,” he mumbled.
“Why are you being so grumpy?” Leafkit asked, “and why don’t you play with us anymore?” He tipped his head and waited for an answer.
“I don’t need to play. I’m going to be a medicine cat like Featherfall.” He retorted, taking leafkits question personal.
Leafkit winced and ducked his head, “I was only asking,” he whispered.
Hazelkit flicked his tail apologetically, “Sorry for snapping at you…”
Leafkit squirmed and stood, “I’m gonna go find mummy,” he mumbled incoherently.
Hazelkit hung his head and went to find Featherfall. I can’t do anything right, he thougut sadly, everything I do I do wrong. He sniffled and glanced around, looking for Featherfall.
~Featherfall~
He was busy checking the herb stock.. He was a bit paranoid so he kept checking it, fearing that he wouldn’t have enough herbs for a surprise attack.
“Marigold.. Catmint.. Dock leaves..”
(snappy hazelkit gives me Jayfeather vibes-)
Hazelkit plodded into the medicine den, “Featherfall?” He called. He followed Featherfall’s scent, trying to track like his siblings, but ended up at the corner of the den. He sniffled and curled up, “why can’t I just be normal?” He whimpered, not realizing that Featherfall was in the den.
( He kinda reminds me of Brightheart and Jayfeather mixed. Mainly Brightheart though 😝)
~Featherfall~
He stopped, looking up and towards where he heard Hazelkit.. He slowly and quietly approached the corner, laying down beside Hazelkit.
“Hazelkit,”
He began softly.
“You’re normal. You’re amazing. You may not think you are, but you’re amazing, and normal. What makes you think you aren’t?”
Hazelkit jumped and turned to Featherfall, “Everything,” he muttered. “All the other kits now how to hunt and track and play, but I don’t like to.” He looked up at Featherfall with wide eyes, “Were you normal?” He asked curiously.
~Featherfall~
“I wasn’t normal, Not one bit. I never did all those things myself. Instead I would find flowers and bring them to my brother, or my mother. I was never interested in tracking, fighting, or hunting.”
Hazelkit slightly smiled, “So, does that mean that I’m gonna be like you?” He asked hopefully
~Willowstrike~
He looked at the prey pile, low.
“Splashpool, Redfern, and.. Oakpaw, are you up to hunt, or do you still wish to rest for a bit longer?”
Splashpool nodded, “Come on, Oakpaw.”
~Redfern~
“I won’t be gone long, Blackstorm.”
She padded up to the other three, looking back to her brother, before turning her attention back to the other cats.
~Willowstrike~
“Good.. Is Oakpaw fit to go?”
“Let’s let him rest.” Splashpool said. (I think he is inactive)
~Willowstrike~
“Very well. Let’s go”
He led the patrol out of the camp
Splashpool followed Willowstrike out of camp.
~Willowstrike~
“While we’re hunting, we might as well check the borders, just incase. Do any of you appose to this?”
~Redfern~
She stayed silent, agreeing with Willowstrike.
Splashpool shook her head. MothCLan needed to be taught a lesson.
~Willowstrike~
“We’ll check the border first. It’s best, lets go”
He flicked his tail and started leading the small patrol to the border
Emberstream watched the kits worriedly, “We’re a broken family,” she whispered in realization to herself. She sighed and stared at her paws sadly.
Wavepool walked over to Emberstream and gave her a reassuring lick, “It’ll be okay. Times are hard, expecially in a leaf-bare, so cold. They are probably not used to things right now.”
Emberstream smiled at Marshkit and Blackkit. “At least they seem to be getting along,” she meowed hopefully, “Marshkit needs a friend. She doesn’t exactly get along with her siblings all of the time,” she chuckled, “then again, she is the one who always gets them into trouble.” She watched Leafkit and sighed, “I’ll be right back,” she meowed, walking over to Leafkit.
“Marshkit and Blackkit have a special bond.” Wavepool said to Emberstream before she left.
Emberstream nodded in agreement and went over to Leafkit, “Come on, hon,” she meowed gently, “Why don’t you sit with me?”
Leafkit nodded, but still looked distracted and upset.
Emberstream walked back over to Wavepool and picked up the conversation again, “Honestly, you’d think they were siblings,” she meowed with a small smile, still talking about Marshkit and Blackkit.
“Who?” Leafkit inturupted. He followed his mother’s gaze and burst out laughing, “Blackkit and Marshkit?!”
Emberstream flicked her tail over his ears and licked his head, “Don’t make fun of your sister,” she chided. “It never ends well.”
“Yeah…” Wavepool said, “It doesn’t make you the better cat.”
Leafkit hung his head and went over to Marshkit, “I’m gonna go play.” He muttered to Emberstream. He didn’t think he was doing anything wrong, after all he only laughed.
Emberstream watched him go with a flick of her tail, “Was I too hard on him?” She asked Wavepool worriedly. Insecurity wound it’s way around her, clouding her thoughts.
