Wolf

Destructive and clever. Constantly getting into trouble, tearing things up and causing general mayhem. As a kit this is a natural behavior as your discovering the world, but even as the fluffy trouble maker grows he never seems to grow out of it. Especially chewing. He loves to gnaw on things left and right. It's as if he's exploring the world with his mouth long after he's grown out of the teething stage.

Basil is often getting Wolf out of trouble. Interfering where he can to slow the destruction down. At first it seems that way, but often times the two are cleverly engaging in sort of acting. One moment Wolf will ram into construction to cause it to tumble about purely cause it's fun, and the next Basil's getting rewarded for helping the builder fix up the mess. The two share the reward in the end.

Basil

Basil is the quiet kind type. Always helping others out, and being rather gentle in the coming of things. Open minded and clever, she pushes into being involved in everyone's problems, especially wolfs. If she had the choice in things, she would be in several places at once, but alas she only has the ability to be kind to one person at a time. Sometimes her selflessness can cause her own issues, forgetting to take care of herself.

When it comes to Wolf however, they balance each other out. Wolf keeps her going by giving her things to do that aren't helping the arch cat out of the den, or finding medicine for the 'angel'. Things like playing and learning to be a child from time to time even as she grows up to become a warrior. At the same time she keeps him out of real trouble, such as stealing and fighting. Instead, she has gotten him to use his destruction for better purposes.

Who says just cause we are opposite genders means we can't be friends?

Ever since they were young children, the two of them were assigned to be married! Betrothed from birth due to a very particular prediction from star clan. It didn't matter there gender, but the two of them would blame that from day one. It all starts with a dream given to Mist on the night of there birth.

Two stars
light intertwined
tie the knot
blind the time

do this softly
to the innocent two
so they may have a future
for comet's due

It was translated that two cats are to marry in order to keep the clan safe from harm. No one was sure why, but since the imagery that the angel had of this prediction was these two kits, they assumed these two were the cats that Star Clan were referring to. No matter how hard the questions were asked, no one answered.

Wolf and Basil are still very young, and no true permanent marriage has been put in place yet, and not till they are at least 12 moons old, but preferably when they are 24 moons. They don't want to rush it, only force the marriage if Star Clan really requires it truly, though no one is truly sure. Everyone expects the two to be more then friends, but the two clearly just enjoy each other's company.

The two of them are, as said, just friends, and make such a strong point on it as well. After all, they are only children, not ready for such things let alone accused of being together more then that. Many seem to stare at the two, curious what they have to do with the future, predictions and other serious tales. In the mean time it really is just a playful romp. Wolf causing trouble, and Basil cleaning up the mess. The two of them exploring to 'n fro. They truly are just kittens.

the plan is to put them together as apprentices, and see what happens from there. The two of them are excited to learn and leave the camp together. The two of them have even agreed to make it a competition. Who's the best hunter, fighter, scavenger. Trying to ignore the prying eyes, the sneers and conversations. Hoping that the warrior that trains them isn't to harsh because of the prediction.

Maybe we should just run away together.

"Mom," Mudkit said to his mother when Dovekit was born. "Yes?" Ghostfeather asked Mudkit, happy of what smart cats she'd created. "What are you going to name her? She looks like a turtledove. Kind of!" Mudkit said.

"From where do you know where doves look like, darling?" Ghostfeather nuzzled Mudkit on his forehead.

"Oakspeck had one with him when he came to see me, didn't he?" Mudkit said, speaking of Ghostfeather's foster brother.

Ghostfeather thought a little. "We'll name her Dovekit." She said.

Mudkit had chosen his own sister's name! He was so proud. He swore to himself that he would always be there for her, no matter if it rains or shines.

From the very first time that they met, Minnow and Manzanita had been attached at the hip.

Kitten abandonment is a very common problem in the desert. It's an unfortunate fact of life. Constant droughts and heatwaves and scarce prey make raising families hard, and occasionally a parent will leave one kit behind to make the chances of the rest of the litter's survival higher. Manzanita and Minnow likely would've been forgotten to the desert's ruthless sands if not for two things;

1. They found each other
and 2. they had stumbled, sun-blind and heatsick, into a half-baked Clan.

Gender: Tom
Rank: Kit -> Warrior
Clan: LagoonClan
Age: 6 moons
Prompt: credit to disney's beauty and the beast for the song lyrics

There's something sweet and almost kind
But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined
And now he's dear and so unsure
I wonder why I didn't see it there before

Stormkit tilted his head, watching Mudkit snuggle into his mother's stomach by himself. The kit had been stuck inside the Nursery with him for several days while it poured down outside. It started off with him grumbling and going off on his own. The occasional hiss. Stormkit just brushed it off and went with the other kits. A few days more of raining, and the grey kitten offered a moss ball to Mudkit. He looked up and smiled, playing daintily with it. Stormkit joined in, finally seeing a soft spot in the denmate. (read below vv)

New and a bit alarming
Who'd have ever thought that this could be
True that he's no Prince Charming
But there's something in him that I simply didn't see

Stormkit felt a spark of happiness everytime he woke up and saw Mudkit. Like his belly was fluttering with butterflies. It rendered his mouth useless for anything but smiling. (read below vv)

Prompt:

He glanced this way, I thought I saw
And when we touched he didn't shudder at my paw
No, it can't be, I'll just ignore
But then he's never looked at me that way before

Mudkit had always been guarded, assuming that anyone would leave him once they got to know him...But...Stormkit. He was different. Determined. So...infectiously happy. Mudkit tried his best to stay away from the poisonous laughter and giggles, but...A ball of moss rolled over to the brown kitten. He looked up, flustered, at Stormkit. Smiling, the walls be built up crashed down and he tumbled with Stormkit. At some point they lost the ball of moss and were just rolling around together. (read up again ^^)

It's so peculiar
We'll wait and see
A few days more
There may be something there that wasn't there before

Mudkit, against his better judgment, was almost always smiling near Stormkit. No other LagoonClan cat had ever done that. No other kit had ever touched this one's heart the way that silly grey tom did. Perhaps Stormkit wasn't all that bad...

__________________________________________________

the smell of rain was heavy in the air as sara stepped out of the barn. her mother told her not to stray far from the barn, but she just had to see her wheat kin. the farm cats had two differing groups, one in the barn and the other in the wheat fields. it just made hunting mice easier without straining the population too much.

twisting through the muddy wheat field, she trotted along happily at the thought of seeing her kin. puddles were building up high from the heavy rains and with most being close to her neck if she waded through them, she had to be careful on her journey. the small camp grew in view near an old tractor the humans abandoned. up in the roofed area, she could see cape being groomed by his mother. “hey, brother cape!” sara called out. “i’m here to play some wheat catch again!”

“why do you call me that, sara?” he replied back as he jumped down from the covered area. he was right that they weren’t exactly littermates, but they were half-littermates via the same loner father. “but, it’s all muddy.”

“yeah, rain? that’s not going to hurt anyone,” sara jokingly asked. she was confused as to why he cared so much, she had always visited in the past after some rain.

concern flashed in cape’s eyes as he began to fill her in on what he actually meant. “no, there’s been lots of flooding. my mom said that the river cat will drag us away if we step too close.”

“sure, that’s just an old mother’s tale. cape, there’s no reason to be listen to that.” and, just like that, sara began to regret her words as it just jinxed her.

cape’s mother cried out from the covered area, “the rain is back. get up here, you two!” they scrambled up to get there but just as they got to the tire. the rain was hard and terrible, and a flood started to form below them. then, sudden lightning scared sara off the roofed and cape being next to her also fell. and, like that, they were both under the water with the river cats dragging them to their deaths.

“cape, i’m sorry,” sara called out from over the water. they both were struggling to swim as the river cats kept trying to drag them further from the shore. “i shouldn’t have come today at all.”

“don’t waste your breathe,” cape cried out. “i under-“ the water pulled him under and that could easily be the last thing she saw of him. but, she couldn’t let it happen as she let the river cats drag her to him. he was struggling against them, and he was being pulled further. she had to get to him yet she couldn’t. her lungs were burning. her legs were weak. then, she couldn’t see anything as he vision went dark. the last thing she remembered was the water and feeling something around her scruff. was it the river cats making her their own, or her mother who tracked them both down?

cape felt his eyes fluttered open as a strange she-cat loomed over him. “ambergaze, he’s awake. what should i do next?” the she-cat asked over her shoulder. then, the weirdly named tom approached him and looked him over.

“a queen’s helper or caretaker would do fine until we figure out what the council wants to do with these two kits,” ambergaze said. “i’ll want to check up on him and the other one around sunset to see how they’re doing. then, they’ll need to be checked out again the following day as who knows how that water affected them.”

it was obvious that they are ignoring him to figure out whatever this situation entails for them, but he needed answers. “where am i? and, what happened to my kin sara?” cape asked.

“fogclan is where you are after you both appeared on out shoreline. luckily, you both didn’t need too much attention and just rested up until now. sara woke up a day ago, and she is weak but doing fine. she’s in the nursery now and is playing with the two other kits there,” ambergaze said as he dismissed the she-cat with his tail. “follow flamepaw and she’ll guide you to sara. you may be weak for now as you’ve been out for some time, but it’ll be gone once you start feeling your self again.”

“thanks,” he murmured. the fogclan camp was huge with multiple cats walking about. it was much larger than both of the barn camps combined and way larger in numbers as well. flamepaw was weaving through the crowd easily as cape struggled to follow behind her, the cats just didn’t seem to see him as well. then, they got to the nursery and just as ambergaze said, there was sara playing with two kits outside the nursery. when sara saw him, it was obvious to him that she didn’t want to see him at all. it was more than likely guilt but she’ll get over it like she’s always done. “hey, sara.”

“hey,” sara said. “i want to talk to you about everything.”

“i do too,” cape said as he approached her. he tried to get closer but she stepped back, putting eleven more distance between them both. “i understand that we are somewhere called fogclan, but we need to get home.”

“i’m not going home. our mother would be horribly mad at us but mostly me, so it’s best for them to never see me again,” sara confessed. cape was confused as the barn was what she had always called home, and now, she didn’t even want to return to it. “i’ve learn a lot about this clan. they have a separate group in marshes called the marsh walkers, and i’m joining them to get a fresh start here and to be away from you. you obviously don’t want to see me anymore.” it was obvious that she was convinced of everything that she said, but cape had to prove her wrong to set things right.

“that’s not what i want,” cape countered. the pain and sadness of her statement was obvious to him. “stay here and we’ll go home.”

“i’m sorry, but it’s for the best,” sara murmured. she was trying to stay strong but it was failing. “i messed up and i can’t think you want to see me around anymore.” it’s obvious that the entire situation had put a damper on her spirit as she walked away from him. that’s probably be the last of they see of each other, but he couldn’t let her go that easily.

“but, we’re kin and that matters. we have to be there for each,” cape called out to her. “i want to stay here with you as we can’t go home too easily now. it’ll be nice to have you around sister sara.” even though they didn’t necessarily get along, it would be nice to at least have a familiar face in this weird place.

“what?” sara said. that statement obviously shocked her.

“we’ll stay here then find a way home. we’ll be back before they know we’re gone” he said. “this is what

“i’ve made up my mind. they wouldn’t want me there anyway,” sara said as another cat approached them. “being a marsh walker is what i feel is right for me.” this time it was a sandy cat. “sara, it’s time to leave, and the marsh walkers will be happy to have you. do you want to say any last goodbyes? it’ll be a while before you may see them again,” the she-cat said.

“sara, don’t do this. our mothers will know it was all a mistake. it’s what is for the best,” cape said. it was his last shot at getting her to stay and not leave him.

“this is what i want, cape. stop trying to force me to go back to the barn. being a marsh walker will be a fresh start, and besides sand has already told me everything about them, it’s a place for me,” sara told him. it was indeed what she wants but he couldn’t bear to never see her again.

“promise me that we’ll see each other again,” cape said. “that’s all that i want.”

“promise,” sara said. “besides that’s what kin should do, we’ll see each other in a little while. we’ll always be kin. goodbye, cape, i’ll see you in a little while, maybe at our first gathering.”

“see you then,” cape replied. and, like that, sara followed sand out of the camp and towards the marsh walkers. their bond would last even if they couldn’t see each other like before, but now, he has two things to work for being able to see sara and finding his way home.
