graykit woke up, it was night and he could hear the patter of rain outside. A thought occurred to him. "Pssst!" he hissed almost silently to tigerkit, who lay sleeping beside him.

Tigerkit stirred, his dream evaporating like mist, He opened his eyes to the staring face of graykit. "Wha'" tigerkit mewed sleepily.

"Wake rubykit" graykit whispered, and crawled silently out of the nursery into the night

tigerkit silently obeyed. 'What is graykit up to?' he wondered silently to himself. He crept silently towards rubykit, trying not to wake fernclaw, who lay sleeping not even a tail length away. "Rubykit" he hissed silently, and tapped her lightly in the side with his tail.

Tigerkit only flicked his tail, indicating her to follow. Silently, he pushed his way out through the brambles in the nursery.

Rubykit, wondering whats going on, sleepily pushed herself through the brambles, following tigerkit out into the rain spattered night. "Whats going on?" she aksed, once they were outside of the nursery.
Her eyes got used to the darkness, and she noticed graykit sitting beside tigerkit, graykits thick gray pelt had camoflouged him in the rainy night.

graykit only flicked his ears towards the camp entrance, indicating where they were going. And started walking towards the entrance. He could hear tigerkit following behind him, and the hesitant steps of rubykit. Once they were outside camp, "K, you all know we should have been made apprentices long ago. Maybe they think that we are weak, not fit to be warriors. But, when we come back in the morning with a pile of fresh kill, they will have to make us apprentices!" graykit explained to the questioning glances he was getting from his siblings.

rubykit wasnt too keen to break the warrior code. "We will still be made apprentices, you know" she inquired to graykit. "Yeah, but this way we will be made apprentices faster!" graykit argued. Rubykit only snorted. "Well, im not going to let you two go off by yourselves, count me in!" rubykit said.

great!" tigerkit squeaked. "lets go before someone comes and finds us outside of camp arguing!" tigerkit concluded. At this they all let out mrowws of laughter.
Tigerkit led the way into the dark forest, they had not been out of camp before now, only once, when they were too young to remember properly.
Now, the forest was black, a thick treetrunk faintly outlined against the gloom.
Tigerkit pricked his ears to listen more carefully. A howling had started nearby. "What was that" rubykit squeaked. Graykit let out a wimper.
They bunched together more closly and listened, somthing was definatly moving out there, they could hear it crashing in the undergrowth.
Suddenly, Rubykit saw a hollow in one of the trees, half a fox-length off the ground. "Quick! over here!" she whispered, and silently dashed towards it, tigerkit followed her, she couldnt even hear his pawstepps, but on the other hand... Graykit stumbled loudly through the leaves, and made a whole forest of noise.
The crashing around them stopped for a few heartbeats, locating its prey.
Quick!" rubykit hissed from the hollow
Graykit took that as a signal that he should hurry up, more quietly. He dashed to the tree and clawed up the trunk and stuffed himself into the hollow after rubykit and tigerkit.
Almost as soon as he had gotten in the hollow, a large white doggish creature emerged from the undergrowth, much larger than the little things the twolegs walked. It was silvery whiteish color.
It stopped and sniffed, and let out another blood chilling howl.
After a few heartbeats, Three more appeared from the undergrowth.
The silver one barked somthing to the black one.
Rubykit was puzzled, she knew it didnt speak cat, yet she could understand it!
"can you guys understand what its saying?" she whispered to graykit and tigerkit.
"Shh!" graykit hissed. The brown dog-thing had pricked its ears, and swung its head towards the tree they were hiding in.
'Who can help us now!' rubykit thought in distress as she looked to silverpelt for an answer, none came.....

Fernclaw, foxfeather, and moonheart burst through the trees, they had heard the commotion, and had followed the kits scent trail.
"Where are my kits!" she shouted at the dog thing, knowing it wouldnt understand. The dog only growled back at her, which was a threat in every language, only rubykit, sitting in the tree hollow understood what it truly meant. It meant 'leave or die now' Foxfeather creeped towards the tree, seeing rubykits red fur. It was safe for now, the dog things were distracted by fernclaw and moonheart. As foxfeather neared the tree, she stuck her tail in the hollow and flicked it, indicating for the kits to come out slowly. One by one, the three kits filed silently out of the tree and creeped around to the back to hide. Foxfeather flicked her tail indicating for the kits to stay. Slowly, foxfeather creeped back to the group and flicked her ears indicating she found the kits and its time to leave. Suddenly, she caught a glimps of rubykits red fur as she crept out again, soon, she was standing in front of the group. "What are you doing rubykit!" moonheart growled, fernclaw was just stunned with shock at how brave her kit was. Rubykit started barking and growling at the foxes, she said 'we are leaving, you should do the same, this is our home, we are going, dont attack.' The leader fox barked his answer 'we will not attack this time, but dont mess with our pack' And the three dog things backed away.
The other cats just stared in shock at rubykit. "m-m-my kit!" fernclaw stuttered out. "y-your s-safe!" she finished and started licking rubykit as if she would never see her again. "Lets get back to camp, we can deal with these kits later, we have to report this to featherstar." moonheart growled, still uneasy about the dog things.
