#sunclan open

You had heard the white and speckled cats yesterday. Apparently your brother had ventured outside. How very exciting! You turn to look up at your mother, her big body and warm fur kept you safe...especially from your sister. If you went outside who knows what might happen to you. The fur along your back bristled at the thought.

...B-But you wanted to be brave. Just like mother was in all her stories.

With a gulp, you get to your shaky paws and step over your mothers large tail. Your sister squirms and kicks as you pass her. But her eyes are still shut...she can’t come with you.

The trip across the den takes longer then you would imagine and by the time you reach the opening your tired and even more scared then when you started out. With a deep breath you poke your head out and, for the first time in your short life, see the outside world. 

This might be your last chance to RP with Thistle! So you know, come and join me and everyone's problematic fave

The deafening roar of chaos and confusion had begun to din as the days rolled by. Replaced only by the pounding of blood in your ears. Thumping like a drum and string your soul into it’s own state of turmoil. Once you toyed with your prey before ending its life...now you feel the fear the rabbits once did. A squirming by your side draws your muddled thought back to the medicine den. Body aching, joints swollen and mewling kits begging for attention...you ignore the pitch black fuzz ball that squeaks by your tail chilled by the afternoon breeze.

Today was the day! You would finally try your first fresh kill! You wanted to be the first out of your siblings to finally try it anyways, plus the fact your mother’s milk was drying up quickly so it wouldn’t be long before you all would be eating fresh kill.

You bounded out of the nursery and over to the fresh kill pile and examined it. There were three mice and a rabbit. You remember Deadheat’s words in saying he enjoyed mouse so you picked one up. You pad over to the rocks your mother normally would sun on and you look down at your mouse. You sniff it for a moment before taking a bite.

“Wow!”

You were muffled by the mouse but it tasted amazing! The meat was stringy though but it worked well with your fangs, other then it looking like your were slurping the meat up. 

Petalkit stands outside the nursery quietly, watching the cats around him. He’d only just been let outside the other day, and he hadn’t met many cats yet. His parents told him he needs to meet the rest of the clan...but there’s so many of them! It was kinda intimidating! 

You limp into camp, one leg held in the air to minimize the pain. Blood has clotted where you were bitten so you weren’t bleeding anymore. After all, that could have left a trail for future new moons.

You hadn’t been able to leave the nursery much since you twisted your paw, but now that it was better you had been leaving and walking around camp. You had become bored of camp though, and seeing there were not many cats out in the clearing today, you decided you would go for a walk in the woods. You didn’t want to actually bother anyone for them to walk with you, so you padded out of camp.

You wake one morning and notice the frost beginning to form on the entrance to the warriors den. It would seem leaf bare had begun to show its ugly head. With a snort, you pull yourself to your paws and leave the other sleeping cats to their dreams. The camps clearing is covered in a thin veil of mist and coats your long fur in a heavy wet sheen. Taking the moment of serenity to reflect on recent events, you let your head dip and slowly groom your chest.

Becoming deputy had not been what you had expected. You’d had less time to spend with Pigeonpaw and having to sneak out with Splitgaze was starting to wreck havoc on your sleeping pattern. But it was rewarding in its own sense.
