Switching Sides

Two Kits, One World

It's a very big and dangerous world out there. Full of surprises and secrets to be uncovered. Friends and foes to be seen from time to time at a meadow or battlefield. From river to stream, to mountains to hills, two clans used to be peaceful and got along. They had no problem with the other Clan and always agreed with each other for each decision they made. They would always have meetings with one another and would work together to make each Clan thrive. It was like the two Clans were one and they were about to unite but one thing changed it all.

Oakstar leaped out of the tall grass as he chased a yellow butterfly that fluttered it's wings quickly only a few inches above the ground. He giggled as he quickly pounced on it with his paws and stuck his nose in between his paws, letting the butterfly have enough space to crawl out and onto his nose. He giggled softly as the butterfly sat on his nose, keeping its wings out then slowly closing them. Oakstar sneezed and saw the butterfly fly off of his nose and away from him. He chased it as far as he could before being picked up softly by Flarewhisper.

Oakstar squirmed as Flarewhisper held him by his scruff." Stop squirming you runt!" Flarewhisper said, a little muffled since he was holding Oakstar's scruff in his mouth. " It's my turn to watch you and I can't afford to lose you and get in trouble for it!" He continued on and on with reasons that Oakstar should stay close to him and stay inside the Clan's border. Oakstar was too little to know about all of the dangers that lie outside of the Clan's border. He only knew about the safety inside of it.

It was almost Moonhigh and it was time for Oakstar to go to sleep. Flarewhisper laid him down softly and sat next to him. Oakstar glared up at the tom cat that sat next to him. He has a blue and green eye. He was blind in his blue eye and has a nicked ear. His tail was long and so were his claws but he was a very good cat at some times when he wasn't mad. Oakstar curled up into a small ball and yawned softly." Can you tell me about yourself again, Flarewhisper?" Flarewhisper just glanced down at the small kit and rolled his eyes." No, I'm not retelling my story for the millionth time already! Why won't you ask someone else to tell them their story?" He said harshly. Oakstar replied with a small meow." Because I enjoy your stories. They're fun to listen to." Flarewhisper liked to hear those words but didn't want to say anything back to the kit so that he'd have to tell a story." No, there's no more stories about me." He lied to the young kit and walked away. Oakstar laid there without no story to hear since that was how he usually goes to sleep. He sighed and closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

At this time, Duskfrost had just woken up. She would sometimes sleep during the day and be active throughout the night. But sometimes it would be the other way around. Duskfrost was also a kit and lived in the same world as Oakstar but they were in different Clans so they didn't know each other. She got up and stretched slowly as she looked around. Noticing how late she had slept in. The place was a bit darkened from the night sky but the moon helped it lighten up just a little bit.

Sunnyspots approached her quickly, being his hyper self and ran into her. He wrapped his paws around her and held her down. Duskfrost mewed happily to see her best friend and wrapped her tiny paws around his large white paws. After a few minutes of playing, Sunnyspots picked Duskfrost up gently by her scruff and took her outside and set her down on the ground. Duskfrost watched him leave her alone for a bit and giggled as she started to run around for a while. She found a mouse and chased it, not being able to hunt good, she couldn't catch it. She pouted as she watched the lucky mouse dash for its home and stay in there. She then got an idea to try to reach her paw into the tiny hole and try to grab the mouse. She liked the idea and gave it a shot. She walked over to the mouse's hole and reached her tiny paw in there, which almost didn't fit in and reached far back into the hole for the mouse.

Dirt, dirt, and even more dirt is all she felt. She growled softly in anger and pulled her paw out but it got stuck before she got it out. She tugged and pulled but it never came out. She sighed and stayed calm as she called for help. She let out tiny mews for sunnyspots." Sunnyspots! Please help me!" She yelled and Sunnyspots was there in a flash, running into her like always, making her front leg go into the hole more. She was not happy as she tried to pull her leg out and it wouldn't come. Something had her paw stuck in the hole which wouldn't release it." Sunnyspots, please help!" She mewed once more and he sighed." What do you think I'm doing here?" He said as he started to dig into the mouse's hole, making a nice hole so that he could see what was holding onto Duskfrost's paw.

He saw the root that was holding her paw and pushed her paw out of it and digging the root out. " I'm sorry that I ruined your home mouse and that I took your food but it's for the best." He said as he set the root down on the ground. Duskfrost shook her paw and licked it a few times to get it clean then rubbed against Sunnyspots." Thanks Sunnyspots for getting my paw free." She thanked him and he nodded." Anytime Dusfrrost. "I'll always be here for you." He said with a smile which made her smile.

These two Kits may live in different Clans, and may be raised differently, but they live in the same world as each other and everyone else does. They are about to go on a very interesting and emotion changing journey which will change who they are and themselves physically and mentally. They'll have to prepare themselves for what is being thrown at them one at a time or time after time not stopping. Will they be able to make it through their journey? Or will they crumble and fall?
