Gathering Fanfic Contest Entry

By: Flowerkit

I trotted over to my nest in the nursery, and plopped down to sleep. After all, it was really late. No kit should be awake in this hour. But, I didn’t feel sleepy at all for some reason.

“Hey Maplekit, are you awake?” I whisper quietly into the silent nursery. I hear a shuffling sound, and I flick one ear.

“Yeah, I’m awake.” Maplekit whispered back, and I could see her eyes glittering in the darkness.

“I can’t sleep.” I complain softly at her.

“Then let’s have an adventure!” Maplekit replied, sitting up. “Come on Flowerkit, doesn’t that sound like a great idea?”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“Sure!” I reply, plans already forming inside of my head. “But just the two of us?”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“We should bring more kits. Maybe a few mischievous apprentices?” Maplekit suggested.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“Sure.” I repeated, scampering around in circles in excitement. I slow down, going to Stoatkit. “Stoatkit, wake up!” I whisper, shaking her shoulders gently.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“Ughhhh…” Stoatkit replied sleepily.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“We’re going on an adventure!” I purred. Stoatkit instantly perked up, and with just the three of us, we crept out of the den, towards the apprentices’ den. I poked my head in, scanning the den. I trotted over to Wavepaw, nodded to Maplekit and Stoatkit, shaking her awake as well. Wavepaw mumbled in protest

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“Wake her up,” I whispered, as I move on to Fernpaw, Cypresspaw, and Wollowpaw. <span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">We shouldn’t bring <span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">too <span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">many apprentices. <span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I thought. I flicked my tail and led them out of the den.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“We’re going on an adventure!” I announced to the sleepy faces.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“Mmm…” Wavepaw mumbled, her eyes closing. But before she could fall asleep, I tickled her quickly. “Hey!” She giggled. Fernpaw snorted in amusement.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“What are you six doing in the middle of camp?” The group and I turn around in shock. It was <span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Cakestar and Jayfrost.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“Oh no…” I gasped. I also saw Sundance and Iceflower poking there heads out from behind a den.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“W-We’re going on an adventure.” Stoatkit and Maplekit mewed, looking up anxiously into the deputy’s and leader’s eyes. Sundance and Iceflower padded towards them.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“Adventure? Cool! Let’s g-” Sundance purred, but paused at Cakestar’s gaze.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“Kit’s aren’t allowed outside of camp.” Iceflower reminded them. I shuffled my paws.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Suddenly, they were interrupted by a loud <span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">BOOM <span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">. I jumped back in shock. I saw bursts of color behind Cakestar. They all turned to the source of the loud noise, and gaped in awe of the beautiful colors sprouting in the dark sky. My ear twitched as I heard murmurs of surprise fill the clearing as BlogClan slowly woke up.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“Oh my gosh!” I heard Appledapple cry out, her eyes filled with wonder. Emberdawn and Flowerstream followed her, gasping.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“This is beautiful!” Someone called. Everyone nodded in agreement. We all sat down, Stoatkit, Maplekit, Fernpaw, Wavepaw, Cypresspaw and I forgetting all about our adventure.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:13.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">This was way better.
