Silverfoot purred. "Always thinking about your stomach Ashfeather." With a rare grin, he got up and followed his brother to the pile of fresh kill. Selecting a vole for himself, he waited until Ashfeather chose his meal before finding a cool spot to lay down on and tucked into his food. "Earthstar's been a bit more ansy that lately, eh?" Silverfoot pointed out inbetween a bite.

”Not an apprentice” Walnutpaw mewed in surprise and slight disappointment. She had said she was 6 moons old but still …age didn’t really matter to young cats like him - it was all about position. ”Oh well..” he mewed off-handedly, looking at his paws and scratching his ear with his right hind leg. ”See you around I guess.” He looked up at Earthstar, wanting to hurry over but something held him back as if pinning his back paws to the floor. His fur lay flat against his body and his ears swiveled back to point in the direction of Willowkit so he could hear her answer without facing her. ”Which clan are you in?” he enquired, a curious edge to his voice.
Heatherkit play-tackled Lightningkit back, laughing openly. ”No - you stole my eyes!” She paused as he made his suggestion about Dawnbreeze, politely silent as she could see by the expression on the ginger kit’s face he was deadly serious. ”Earthstar!” she giggled. ”Ew…that would be gross!” Trying to remember who the crazy little kitten had said as his mother, she laughed manically and fell onto the floor, kicking her legs up and down with glee. ”Snowstar! Snowstar and Earthstar! Ewww! Anyway - that would never happen!” She looked at him, Earthstar’s eyes shining into Earthstar’s eyes. ”You’re so weird!”
”C’mon” Earthstar grunted impatiently, acknowledging Stripepaw with just a nod. One of their apprentices were here. He looked over at the nursery where Walnutpaw was just leaving from and snarled at him. ”Hurry up you” he grunted, then looked around for Banditpaw, ears high on his cranium, as if hoping to hear the apprentice amidst the bubble of other voices. ”Alright - that’s it” he growled. ”If you come, you come!” And with that, he swept out the camp, claws leaving ugly, raw gashes in the dirt as his footsteps receded.
Cornflower looked at her apprentice Stripepaw with comically raised eyebrows. ”Well …I suppose we should get going then.” She politely waited for her apprentice to leave the camp first, then followed behind her, looking back over her shoulder for Thunderfoot. not seeing him, she swallowed a lump in her throat, called ”bye Thunderfoot” softly to the night air then hurried to keep up with Stripepaw. ”Excited?” she asked, trotting to keep up with the apprentices hurried gait. ”Nervous?” Cornflower smiled, lapsing into thought. ”If these things were invented in my times, I would have been both!” she told her apprentice, pausing ever so slightly to scratch what she felt might be a flea behind her ear. She would see to that later with Shiningfrost - but felt the excited atmosphere of the contest would drive all thoughts of fleas from her mind.

Willowkit dropped her head a bit, seeing his disinterest in her still being ranked a kit. A fury raged through her. 'I should be an apprentice by now!' she seethed through gritted teeth. Gazing over at Walnutpaw as he asked his question, Willowkit's green eyes darted to her mother for a moment. "Boulderclan," she finally answer, her chest puffing up to show her pride in her clan.

ooc: Hmm. I don't think I'm able to keep up with roleplaying Cheetahkit. ._. Sorray. Now what shall I do with that kitty? [[ la stripepaw ]]The apprentice did not fail to notice Earthstar’s apparent grumpiness, nor did she fail to hear what her mentor had muttered under her breath. She scooted off at the leader’s command and fell into step with Cornflower as she bidded a goodbye to the other warrior. She briefly raised an eyebrow but dismissed it as a common act. There wasn’t anything wrong with that. “Excited?” Stripepaw definitely was, and she said so with great triumph, even though the contest hadn’t even begun. “Definitely excited,” she replied, not in her usual drawl this time but in a strangely competitive voice. “Nervous?” Stripepaw rarely felt nervous, if not a little bit, but in the end she decided to shake her head at the question, flashing a brief smile as she did so, but only for a second.

;;shiningfrost Shiningfrost smiled at Heatherkit and Lightningkit, even if she didn't want to leave them. One single tear rolled down her cheek and she smiled brightly: they were together, the first two kits to be together. She turned away and ran after Snowstar, hearing something she couldn't believe - Snowstar and DreamClan chatting in the distance. ;;lightningkit Lightningkit laughed and looked at her - with those same eyes, even if they were different colours. "I'm weird? HA! Look around, Heatherkit, if that is your real name. You haven't been out of these camp walls ever, I've been out of my camp and I almost drowned because of it." He smiled as if this were something to be proud of, his ego showing once more. "I mean, only someone of my ability could do that, I'm too incredible for you."
ooc - ew really short! [/color][/size]

Heatherkit looked at Lightningkit with admiration { BWHAHAHA she fancies her own brother! xxxxDDD … -shot- } shining from her eyes. ”You really did that?” she breathed, a curious sensation twisting deep within the roots of her heart that she had never felt before. Heatherkit winced, thinking she had a tummy ache or was sickening for something. In truth it was jealousy. ”But…but being drownded is not good” she chided, eyes still boring into his but being met with the same patronizing expression born of being Earthstar’s child. This was a cat she could not outstare. Pelt fluffing, she waited for his reply to her little statement, thinking of things to say out loud to convince herself doing what Lightningkit was doing was bad. Then she remembered something else he had said; and her short kitten attention span forced the words from her mouth. ”What do you mean - if that is your real name?”
Walnutpaw gave Willowkit a scathing expression, drawing out all the scorn in his bone marrow and blood and directing it at her in one single stare. Boulderclan. Boulder - here in good Lakeclan! Turning on his tail he whisked off after the apprentices, sleek and shining ebony fur rippling along his slightly protruding spine. He had taken the time to groom himself before the contest, and now that was all he could think about. It followed him like a bird of prey, thrumming in his heart and with every paw-step he took. The Apprentice Contest. The Apprentice Contest!

Lightningkit - so you heard my comeback? [/size] Lightningkit fell to the ground in laughter, wondering when the little kit would’ve finally caught on. He shook his head, walking around her in circles to make her dizzy. "Well, Heatherkit, how do I know your name really is Heatherkit? It could be Mousebrainedkit, or Foolishkit, oh! Or even Loserkit! Ha!" He rolled around on the floor with hysterical bursts of laughter once more, not realizing just how rude this comeback was. That was the difficulty of having an ego as large as Lightningkit's - you didn't know when to shut up. [/size]

”Hey” Heatherkit complained, feeling a lump in her throat despite herself. In her childhood life she had unknowingly been spoilt rotten by Earthstar - the tom had chased away and threatened all cats who called her names and bullied her - so she was unused to being called names. ”Well I think you’re called Stupidkit or…or Weirdkit” She scoffed shakily back, her strength growing as she teased him back. ”Thinking Earthstar is your daddy and Snowstar is your mummy! You’re so dumb. Dumbkit! Yeah - I bet there are your mummy and daddy but they abandoned you because you’re so stupid!” She had gone too far. She knew it and, trembling, she looked back at Lightningkit with wide eyes.

Lightningkit - too far ... but i know when to be serious [/size][/color] His eyes didn't narrow, 'nor did they widen. Lightningkit just backed away with sadness etched on his face, biting back angry tears. He frowned, nodding, but still meeting her gaze. "Yeah, I am dumb. Dumb enough to think that, if my theory was correct, I'd be lucky enough to have you as my sister - I guess I was wrong." He turned away from her and padded to the other side of camp, or more limped really...no one had ever been that mean to him before. He tried not to wail. 'I want to go home.' He thought desperately, sulking. [/font]

”I’m s-sorry Lightningkit” Heatherkit mewed, approaching him on shaky paw-pads. ”I’m really sorry. You’re not dumb…” She had felt good when saying all of those things to him - really good, vindictive and on top of the world just as Earthstar felt when he abused other members of the clan but now …like Earthstar she began floundering hopelessly in a pool of despair. She didn’t feel remotely good about what she had said now. Despite herself she chuckled. ”Anyway, you can’t be my sister. My sister is Lustkit and my brother is Falconkit!” She swelled proudly with the thought of being related to these cats - then felt a stab of pity for little Lightningkit. He didn’t know who his brothers and sisters were. ”I can …pretend to be your sister” she offered, smiling at him.

Willowkit watched Walnutpaw walk away, hissing loudly. "You're mousebrained if you thought I was apart of this clan. What apprentice doesn't know it's own clan cat from an enemy clan cat?! Are you sure you should be an apprentice, if you can't even tell the difference?" She yowled after him, not caring whether or not he heard her.
Dawnbreeze watched Heatherkit and Lightningkit, sadness piercing her heart. It was true that Lightningkit was not her own kin, but she had weaned him since he was only a few hours old, and it felt as if he were hers. A nagging feeling told her that she would soon find out who his real parents were.

Ashfeather swallowed the bite he had in his mouth and nodded. "Yeah, he has..." after a moments pondering, he said thoughtfully "I don't really blame him though." his bright green orbs wandered to Lakeclan's leader. "I mean, it's gotta be tough, what with all that stuff going on." he said vaguely, lost in his own thoughts and unaware that Silverfoot couldn't see into his mind as well. "I wonder if things will ever go back to normal...?" ooc: Say rain, is Silverfoot older or younger than Ashfeather? GAH! I'm having the worst attack of short posts EVER!!!

ooc: Ahh, very true, very true. I dunno where my brain was just then. xD It doesn't matter, because they'd only be a few seconds apart. But generally I think of Silverfoot being the older one... I don't know why...
