morning shrieks

[/i] be an apprentice if she could never wake up early enough? It was bad enough that the other queens would never let her stay up late to watch the night patrols come in- but thus! This she had control over- and she still couldn't do it. It was INFURIATING. Terrible. Just terrible. She wanted to rip something apart- she wanted to- StarClan help the cat who bothered her today.

So, after being informed she was too late, Dawnkit had stormed back to the nursery, angrily pawing up dirt and dust as she walked. If her day had to start off lousy- well then she'd make her sister's morning lousy too. Forget her brother- he had hurt his paw yesterday and she knew she'd be in trouble if she messed with him- so-

"LIGHTNINGKIT, get up you lazy mouse-brain!"

Lightningkit of ThunderClan

Lightningkit had woken when her sister had left to try to catch the dawn patrol but hadn't wanted to get up just then. She was nice and warm and oh so comfortable where she was. Sure she probably should go with her sister to see the dawn patrol off and find out the goings on of the Clan but they had time to do that, honestly. Lightningkit had never understood her sister's driving competitive nature though and she didn't try too. She herself was competitive but not to that degree. Besides, she'd played hard the day before and was still a bit tired from it. So said kit was a curled up purring bundle of content when her sister stormed back into the nursery, nearly spitting sparks angry. Lightningkit gave a groan as she heard her sister's tone of voice. This was going to be a great morning wasn't it?

Seemed like it.

It was also pretty obvious that the smaller she-cat was used to her sister's name calling - even if she didn't particularly like it. She was not a lousy mouse-brain, silly sister. Man she had wanted to sleep in a little too. Well that wasn't happening. "Good morning to you too sister." Lightningkit stood and stretched, tail flicking back and forth as the she-cat thought of her plans for the day. Maybe she could talk one of the apprentices into giving her some pointers. Yeah that sounded like a great idea! It was too bad her brother had injured his paw or she would have asked him if he wanted to join her. Maybe Dawnkit - nah her sister probably wouldn't want to soil her paws bugging apprentices.

"Missed them again? Maybe you should get mom to get you up." the advise was amiably given, though Lightningkit was sure that Dawnkit would take it as an insult but hey, she could try to help her sister out a bit. She turned to her sister, canting her head slightly. "I'm sorry you missed them... I was gonna go see if I could find a free apprentice to teach me. Wanna come?"

[/i] wake her up?- Let their mother know she couldn't even wake up on her own? Oh yes, Lightningkit would like that, wouldn't she? Let the whole Clan know of her shame?-

"I don't need help," She pulled her ears back as she snapped the words out and stomped at the ground with one foot. "I should- I can do it myself." The kit rolled her head back, eyeing the smaller kit for a moment. She didn't need her pity- she was perfectly capable of doing these things- she just had to force her body to do them.

"You'll just annoy them," She snorted as she padded from the nursery back out into the camp. It was true. The apprentices, most of them if not all of them, were little mongrels- and found any cat younger than them annoying. Especially kits. It didn't matter if Dawnkit was better than them- smarter and stronger already- they still would whine whenever she graced them with her presence.

But- if Lightningkit went- she was going to go too. No way in StarClan would Lightningkit learn something that Dawnkit wouldn't.

Dewspots, warrior of Thunderclan
tagged: Dawnkit+Lightningkit+Anyone else

[/span]She had come in from the patrol and had been feeling like sneaking a bit of a nap before going out hunting, or maybe just on a private walk on her own to give borders a second check, but it seemed like sleep wasn't happening even if it was just for a moment or two. She wasn't much good at sleeping once she'd gotten up fir the day, but it had felt like a good idea at the time. Peering out of the warrior's den, Dewspots checked to see if anyone else was out and about. Maybe going out alone wasn't the best idea right now, with tensions high. Maybe she could find someone to go out with instead. An apprentice, maybe. They always did want to get out and about like that, especially the younger ones who were still sort of fresh out the nursery and so, so eager to explore camp. She could always take another warrior, but she felt picky about who she took along on what had been going to be a solo mission. She didn't necessarily go out with someone on those little trips, but if she had to, she'd rather take someone who wouldn't ask too many questions about why she just wanted to walk around, and apprentices would probably ask questions about anything but.

    Wandering out into the camp, she caught the strains of conversation coming out from the nursery. It was earlier than she would think for any kits to be up, and the voices obviously weren't adult, so she made her way in that direction. She really couldn't take them out on what she wanted to do, they were still too young, but she would at least satisfy her curiosity as to why two little ones were up. It would be nice to poke her head into the nursery, anyway; it had been a while and she did like kits. She missed the time when hers had still been little, small and young enough to reside in there, but it had passed, and she probably would never reside in there herself again. As she neared, a small white body padded right past her larger form in a bit of a huff. Dewspots chuckled, recognizing the little white kit and her attitude. "Annoy who, Dawnkit?" She asked, pleased to see the little one out and about, with her sister probably close by. "Are you looking for someone?"[/ul][/font]

Lightningkit gave a mental sigh at her sister's response to her advice but she had honestly expected it from the white kit. She wasn't pitying her sister, merely trying to help her but of course Dawnkit wouldn't see it that way. "Of course you don't need her help, Dawnkit." the calico patched kitten agreed in an attempt to pacify her sister. She really did not want to deal with her sister's attitude this morning. She grinned at her sister though when Dawnkit said she'd just annoy them.

"Isn't that the point? Annoy them enough and they'll show you something to get you off their case." or they'd just ignore the annoyance as she'd found out. Her tail flicked proudly as she padded after her sister - and almost ran straight into their unexpected visitor. Dewspots. One of the warriors that Lightningkit admired the most next to ThunderClan's leader and her father. "I-we were going to see if any apprentices were free that might give us a few tips, not annoy anyone. But they find us annoying most of the time. Our brother hurt his paw otherwise we'd see if he wanted to play with us." If she'd been human, the little kit would have been blushing as she realized she'd started rambling. Dewspots had more important things to worry about then the ramblings of an awestruck kit.


She was a warrior after all.

"I wanna be like her when I'm a warrior." the kit thought, her tail flicking in excitement.

dawnkit, kit of thunderclan !

[/i] warriors. Because of this Dawnkit found her especially annoying. It wasn't as bad as Heavystep- who was so big he could be powerful if he wanted to- but any cat speaking to her as if she was a young kit or trying to mother her annoyed Dawnkit. Even her own mother didn't speak to her as if she was kitten!

Which- she hardly was, now! One more moon to apprenticeship. Then they would all have to take her seriously.

The little white she-cat rolled her eyes at her sister's rambling and let out a loud huff, 'accidentally' smacking Lightningkit in the face with her tail as she did so.

"Not that the apprentices know anything, anyway." She turned her nose up, sinking her claws into the ground for a moment. Now, if they could find Tiigerye or Snowflower- they'd give them real advice. Dawnkit was of the opinion that, besides Foxstar, her parents were the strongest cats in the Clan. Her mother especially.

"It was a mouse brained idea, Lightningkit. Apprentices are still learning- they can't teach," She raised her head up a little higher and smied smugly before giving Dewspots a side glance- as if daring her to say otherwise.

 It was a generalization, of course, but she wanted to reassure the kits that it really wasn't their fault. Kits weren't annoying, not really. Some of them could be, but for the most part they were just genuinely curious and full of energy. "I hope your brother feels better soon. No one wants to be stuck in a nest all day healing up."

       Lightningkit was a nice cat, and like she'd thought earlier, one Dewspots would have no trouble with mentoring. Her sister, on the other hand, was a different story. She liked Dawnkit, but her personality was rather big and even Dewspots wasn't sure how to work with that. She wasn't sure if the tail in Lightningkit's face had been on purpose, but she summoned up her best "I saw what you did there" look and sent it Dawnkit's way just to be sure. She wasn't bothered by the rambling. "Now, Dawnkit... no one knows everything, you know. One cat may be able to teach you how they hunt, but you're never going to be able to know every way to hunt, or every way to fight and patrol, nor are you going to need to know every thing and every way." She wanted to tell the kit that they knew more than she did, but she bit back the comment. If she was older, maybe, but Dawnkit was still just a kit. It wasn't her place to scold her, not yet. The way she stuck her nose up in the air, though, made her bristle slightly. It almost felt like a silent challenge, though it seemed so impossible that a kit, of all cats, would have the gall to talk back to a much older cat like that. She brushed it off either way, only narrowing her eyes slightly when that little head tilted up even higher. She prayed that this kit never became her apprentince. There was only so  much she could deal with before even her patience wore thin. Sighing, Dewspots closed her eyes before replying to the kit's second challenge. "It was a good idea, Lightningkit, a good start. Some of the apprentices are showing signs of being good mentors one day. The older ones, for the most part, but there are younger ones who might be able to do it eventually."
