Catching A Glimpse. [Open]

[Feral]

" Curiosity Killed The Cat, "

♫ Feralkit was a curious little child , always seeking true adventure. Despite her coy personality , she would sometimes become blunt and short , depending on the matter she faced. Her small , pink body was plastered with soft fur; Brown fur. She was merry most of the while , always wishing for friends. At her young age , she didn't comprehend the dens and the rules. Feralkit was led to believe that she could enter any den without a strip of guilt. And that explained what happened ~

♫ A joyful smile was scrawled across the fluffy kitten's maw , her yellow-green orbs glazed happily. Entering the Apprentices' Den was so exciting , it made her feel happy about putting her forepaw into the den. Feralkit inhaled calmly , shutting her eyes. Exhaling , her warm breath was visible , and the young she-kit shifted her other forepaw in , leaving half of her body in the Apprentices' Den , half of it outside in the snow. Before she knew it , she had herself in the den completely , careful not to be seen. " Wow, " she murmured , staring up the ceiling.

♫ The den was giant compared to the small Nursery , and instantly Feralkit wished to live in here. Thinking ahead , she bounded toward an empty moss bed , sniffing it to make sure it didn't carry another feline's scent. Nope , it was clean! The brown kitten jumped into the nest rather nosily , snuggling into a tight ball. She shut her eyes , falling into a dreamless slumber.

Whippaw stumbled into the Apprentice Den his muscles shrieking in protest at every single paw step. That was what happened when you worked yourself to the limit. He had been on a hunting patrol and had been out training with his mentor all in the time span of a few hours. Now all he wanted to do was curl up in his nest and nap for the rest of the day. Thankfully he had been granted a short brake and he had settled on having a brief nap to at least regain some energy.

His orange eyes were glazed over with exhaustion as he weaved his wiry frame among the cluster of nest's. Finally he reached the back where his was positioned and he was about to settle down when he noticed something peculiar in a nest nearby. On closer inspection it turned out to be a small she-kit who had ventured in and decided to sleep. It annoyed him to no end that she hadn't even been caught yet so he felt no sympathy for her when he roughly cuffed her side. " Get up you lazy fur-ball." He growled lowering his head so he could look at her face-to-face. "You don't belong in here. This is only for Apprentices not newborns like you."

Perhaps on another occasion he would have been civil, but he was at the end of his rope. Besides this kit should known not to venture out of the Nursery and stow away in another den.

♫ A firm paw hit her back, sending the blow to her spinal cord. After the after blow of the strong cuff , the kitten lifted her head , her eyes remaining closed from her short nap. Revealing her yellow-green orbs , she yelped , jumping back. Feralkit hissed in surprise , arching her back , brown fur bristling. Why couldn't it have been a female feline to wake her? Instead , a grumpy tom had cuffed her roughly. Her blunt attitude was beginning to settle in as her tightened her jaw. She gripped the moss with her small , ebony claws.

♫ " And I thought rogues were heartless, " Feralkit retorted , glaring at the apprentice coldly. " What's your problem , anyways? " She growled , eyes blazing. The kitten lashed her tail to and fro , anger obviously her main emotion at the moment. The brown she-kit took a seat in her nest , staring at the larger cat. " It's not like it was anyone's nest. " She stated , her puny muscles straining. " And if it was , why would you care? " Feralkit retorted for the second time , clenching her milky white teeth.

♫ She didn't like this cat ; He was rude and mean. Feralkit didn't care about Whippaw's authority , it wasn't much anyways. She could easily become an apprentice when her time was due. The kitten would have to share the same den with him for a while , since they would both be apprentices at some point. Feralkit wanted to lunge a him , anger boiling in her stomach. She was named Feralkit for a reason : The word ' feral ' meant savage. And the young kitten had no shame in showing it.

(Feralkit... why are you in the apprentice den? This is for apprentices, not kits...

Her little outburst brought a grin to his muzzle which was still quite small seeing as he hadn't reached his full size yet. It wasn't often he got to experience such drama close-up and he had to admit this was funny. The way she acted all tough made him roll his eyes. As if she could even lay a paw on him without getting hurt herself.

Just to annoy her he sar down and groomed his chest fur with slow licks. He let out a long sigh as if relieved she was done spewing out pointless words. " Are you done talking? " He asked rhetorically then continued not awaiting an answer. " I take it you are. If you must know I don't want some stupid little baby in the same den as me, especially with that awful stench you carry." He wrinkled his nose for dramatic effect. Perhaps he had gone a little bit overboard with the name calling and such, but heck it wasn't everyday he got to tease a little beast like the one placed before him.

I padded in yawning. "What's going on?" I yawned sleepily. I opened my eyes startled to see a kit in the den. I took it more gently. I licked her over the ears and brought her outside. There, I chided gently, "Hey this is the apprentice's den." I took her back to the nursery, and went outside to get prey for her and the others. I brought back a mouse and the sparrow I caught myself. "Here. This is for you guys." I mewed, humor sparking my eyes. I brought the prey inside. "Eckh." I mewed wrinkling my nose. It was stinky. I was going to clean it soon.

[ OOC : Feralkit has ventured into the Apprentices' Den , simply not caring if it is against the rules. She's quite bemusing. ]

♫ That was it ; Whippaw had got what he wanted and shattered the brown kit's heart. If that was how it was going to be , so be it. Feralkit dropped her fluffy ears on her head , yellow-green hued orbs sorrowful. " Congrats , you have succeed : I'm done playing games with you. " She mewed flatly , her bushy tail drooping to the floor. Clearly upset , the young she-kit stared at him with a blank expression , blocking the apprentice's further happiness for not allowing a sad frown to be played upon her white maw. Turning away from the black tom , the kitten left , tail between her tiny legs. It's not like she was trying to be mean , she just wished to goof off a bit. She was a kit ; Not a full-grown warrior. Feralkit was still to suckle for milk , and was nothing without her mother : Oakspirit. But she was not one to complain , and had already decided not to discuss what Whippaw had done. It was far too much drama for such a young child.

♫ Looking up , freezing in her place , Feralkit watched another apprentice enter. " Oh great ; Another control-freak, " the young kitten thought , rolling her eyes. As the dark gray apprentice reached for her , the she-kit skidded away from Tinypaw's grasp , fur rising slightly in alarm. The brown femme bounded out of the Apprentices' Den , finding a harsh blizzard at the time. Feralkit's paws dug into the snow , her warm breath visible in the chilling air. The kit's fur prickled ; A cold breeze reaching her bare skin. She pursed her lips wittingly , walking toward the small Nursery. In a way , she understood why Whippaw had been so rude. And the young kitten was willing to forgive him ; Being an apprentice must've been very challenging and hard : Working over time with hunting patrols , battle training , border patrols , the works. And to find a seemingly selfish kit in your home? Why wouldn't have you been rude?

♫ Sighing dismissively , she entered the warm Nursery , finding the soft smells of milk and melted snow. Feralkit no longer felt snow beneath her pads , finding the den slightly warmer than outside. Kits were squealing joyfully as they played with one another. The brown kitten's eyes werely slightly bloodshot , since she had been woken up half way inbetween her nap. Oakspirit caught the she-kit's eye , but she didn't wish to cuddle near her mother or suckle for some milk : She wasn't the slightest bit hungry , Feralkit just felt guilty about her act and how she had snuck into the Apprentices' Den. She didn't have the rights to enter there without permission , and she knew it.
