ShadowClan Nursery

[ beechkit - open to siblings if they choose! @AmberShadow @-Skyfall- @ShadowWing65 @Cian ]

Beechkit stretched his forepaws without thinking- or simply not seeming to care that they inevitably collided with one of the many other fuzzy bodies he shared the nest with. Eventually, the paws were drawn back towards his chest, the young tom yawning as wide as his small jaws would let him and rolling lazily to his side. He opened his eyes a crack, blearily looking around at the shaded nursery while rubbing the nest material off his cheek with an uncoordinated swipe of the paw.
What an extensive display; the cream kit seemed to be taking his sweet time in actually waking up, after hearing varied levels of cries from the clearing outside, but once he finally seemed aware of his surroundings he was most certainly awake and ready to roll.
“Mamaaaaaaa!” Beechkit half-yawned, sitting up and swiveling his neck around to figure out where the biggest cat in the nest had gone. Disappointment filled his little heart for a moment before he realized that he was unsupervised… then ideas filled his mind, pushing any longing for his mother to the side.
“Pssst-” Excited, he placed his paws on one of his littermates and bounced a little, “Mama’s out, we can do…” hm… many options. Which one, though?
“Do sneaking, or fighting, or say cusses! Wake up… fox-dung!” The giggling that ensued was even more effective in preventing anyone nearby from sleeping, Beechkit absolutely riveted by using his first bad word. What a rebel.

Poppykit looked up, blinking blearily. Why was Beechkit so into doing rebellious things whenever Mommy left? His paw stuck into her side, and she squeaked in protest. Her tiny body shivered without Momma's warmth. She whimpered. Cusses? No cusses! She peeped, wobbling to her legs. Her nose was runny and she used a little paw to wipe it.

OH STARS HE SAID A BAD WORD NOW! Uh......you......NO! Her scrawny little kitten body rolled onto her side, snuffling. Her huge eyes fixed on Beechkit. Fox-dung! She said seriously, then broke into hoarse giggles.

Fox-dung! Fox-dung! She broke off, burying her face in Beechkit's shoulder, still giggling. Backing up and turning away, she started coughing hysterically, it went on for a minute or two to stop, then she shrank back into the soft nest, sighing. Her throat felt raw and scraped.

"Why do you have to cuss so loudly?" Petalkit sat up, a yawn leaving her lips. "If you want to cuss and go somewhere, we have to make a plan."

Although she knew her siblings might not even get them past the entrance, her will to escape from camp and explore the territory pushed her past the worry. If the leader and her mother would realize that she was already strong enough and smart enough to be an apprentice, she could left already.

Stretching her muscles, she looked around for any other queens. Pushing her siblings with her flank, she started towards the entrance. "Keep quiet, follow me, and if anyone gets caught, run. Is everyone coming?"

Adderkit opened his eyes. “Please stop.” He groaned trying to decide whether or not to fully wake up or not. But then the rest of his siblings woke up as well, and he decided to get up. He stood up and shook himself off. “Why don’t we do something else instead of cussing?” He suggested. “Maybe we could all go out in the clearing and explore instead . . . ?”

Sprout jumped on the stray leaf flowing in the wind. He had been brought to ShadowClan earlier this moon. And other cats were still shooting him suspicious glares. It's not like he would do any harm to them. The barn cat, Boots, had found him in his barn early in the morning, without his mother. Worries, Boots took the tiny kitten to the clan cats, hoping they would care for him. ShadowClan has accepted Sprout with open arms, but he still felt like a outcast. Would he ever be accepted here?

Sprout waited with the leaf under his paws. Hopefully a another kit would see his amazing catch. Lightningsprout, an older black cat, padded up to him. "Hello, young one. Did you catch that leaf?"

"Yes! I tackled it with my own two paws! It tried to get away, but this puny leaf was no match for me, a big strong cat!" Sprout boasted.

"Quite impressive. Say, I don't recognize you.. who's your mother, maybe I know her." Lightningsprout looked around the camp. Several cats were out and about.

Sprout visibly winced. "I was brought from the barn.. I don't belong here." He mewed sadly.

"Oh!" Lightningsprout looked embaressed and surprised, he didn't mean to hurt the kit. "..You know, I heard an old folk tale from an elder that cats born in a barn, are blessed by the special touch of Gizem. Do you know who that is?" Lightningsprout said, trying to clover up his mistake.

"No.." Sprout looked up, intrigued.

"Follow me to the Elders den. One special elder will tell you the story he told me when I was a kit." Lightningsprout led the curious kit towards the elders den.

"Why would we stay in camp when we could sneak out?" She scoffed, staring out past the entrance of the nursery. "There's a whole world that we can explore, catch our own prey, and prove that we can be apprentices sooner than they think."

Petalkit took a swipe at moss under her, pondering if arguing with her siblings will do any good for her. Although she cares about her kin, she'll never be a good apprentice or warrior if she sits around and doesn't practice.

The tom looked at Waspkit. Hopefully, he wouldn’t regret giving his prized brother to this queen. He trusted her enough with him for her loyalty to her clan. He didn’t want the kit to grow up soft and disloyal. No, not his brother.

“I found him in the outskirts. He’s my brother and I want him to have a loyal queen take after him and I feel you're more than qualified(he hoped so).”, Badgerscar meowed. He was going to put a lot of time into Waspkit after his new duties.

being swept closer to this so called scorchstrike, waspkit sniffed the air and let out a tiny, happy yowl. squirming towards the scent of milk, the small scrap of fur quickly started suckling and kneading. there was a angry cry from somewhere near him, and another voice, he chose it ignore it all. food tasted way better when you hadn't eaten in awhile. all he was focused on was getting a full belly then taking a nap.

Pollenkit was having a very enjoyable dream, well she had been until her brother very rudely pulled her from her ideal frog-chasing reality. Was it really necessary to bounce on her after her dream had been mercilessly killed?

"Shhh, Poppykit! You're gonna get heard!" The fluffy tabby shot up at the sound of the cussing, Mama couldn't be that far and if she heard them now she defiantly wouldn't be happy. Now that she was up she'd pretty much forgotten she was upset about her dream because now they were going on an adventure. "Next time wake me more gently, Beechkit."

She stretched out her tiny body as her siblings began planning, their idea of just walking right out into the clearing didn't seem great. "No no no! Petalkit, Adderkit, we can't! If we just walk outta the nursery we're gonna get seen and what if Mama comes back when we're gone?" She questioned, running to tackle her littermates to prevent them from leaving. "And and-- what if we get hurt? No one will know where we are!" The words disintegrated into upset whines as she went on.
