We're Closer Than Most {P}

[Acerolapaw]

Acacialight

I peered outside the den, my blue eyes marveling at the patches of white clouds in the sky. The sun was way up there, too, telling me it was sunhigh. When most cats would join in sharing tongues and prey. Quickly, I pranced outside. It was too much of a nice day not to enjoy the weather! But before, I went too far, I turned around with a shy smile for my sister. "C'mon, Acaciakit! Let's go grab a squirrel to share!"

[Acacialight]

Acaciakit glanced outside, her blue eyes curious. She stepped out of the nursery and followed her sister Acerolakit. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining onto Acaciakit's brown and white tabby pelt. She let out a soft purr. "Sure sis" She mewed padding towards the fresh kill pile. The she-kit scanned the pile for a nice plump squirrel. "Found one" she meowed. The mouse was at the top of the pile. "Acerolakit could you help me get it down?"

[Acerolapaw]

I stopped at my sister's side, peering at each prey piece in turn. It wasn't a whole lot to choose from. TreeClan wasn't brimming with food. But we found what we wanted, I noted, when Acaciakit pointed out a squirrel. My eyes trailed upwards, finding what my sister spotted, before I felt my tail swish rapidly behind me. "Don't worry, sis! I got it!" At once I launched forward, leaping up onto a thrush and squishing it with my tiny paws. However, I pushed forward until I reached the top. And there I snatched up our prize and tossed it back down to Acaciakit, with a following voice, "Catch!"

[Acacialight]

Acaciakit walked side to side trying to figure out where it would land before catching the squirrel in her jaws. She grabbed it by the neck and headed towards her sister and dropped it. "Here sis. You can have the first bite" she meowed nudging the fresh kill towards Acerolakit. Acaciakit groomed her pelt a bit as she waited for her sister to take a bite. 

[Acerolapaw]

I hopped down, giving my pelt a good shake and stretching out my legs. It was a nice climb while it lasted, but any moment now my stomach would rumble. With a happy purr, I watched Acaciakit drop the squirrel next to me, before having no hesitation in digging in. "Mmmmhmmm! It's good! Have a bite!" I purred, nudging the fluffy rodent closer to my sister.

[Acacialight]

Acaciakit was starving. She took a bite and chewed the juicy flesh. "Yum squirrel meat is good" she purred pushing the fresh kill back over to her sister. "So maybe after this do you want to play a game or something?" The brown and white tabby asked waiting for a response from Acerolakit. Acaciakit smiled at her sister

[Acerolapaw]

I took another bite at once, absolutely famished. And the squirrel did taste amazing. Once I swallowed my mouthful of kill, I politely replied. "Sure. I'm game for a... game." I trailed off awkwardly before laughing at my mess of words. I pushed the squirrel back to my sister.

[Acacialight]

Acaciakit took a bite of the squirrel. "You can have the last piece" she told her before thinking of what game they should play. "How about warriors. I'll be...hmm Acacialight" she purred. Acaciakit smiled. We will be the greatest warriors TreeClan has ever seen. She thought. "Just a question what would you like your warrior name to be?" 

[Acerolapaw]

I smiled, though was about to suggest Acaciakit finish it instead. She bad to be hungrier than me. Though I felt she would be stubborn, so instead I leaned down and chewed off what was left. The bones were disposed of, and when I returned back to my sister's side, I couldn't help but purr. "Acacialight! I love it!" I encouraged, sinking my claws into the earth below as I wracked my brain for my own name. "I'll be... hmm... Acerolaleaf. That's not a bad name." I meow. Someday, we'll be the best TreeClan warriors -- no, the best warriors out of ALL the Clans! I thought happily.

[Acacialight]

Acaciakit gave her sister a small smile. Acacialight and Acerolaleaf. Perfect names! She thought. "Oh no RockClan is attacking. Quickly we need to fight them off" Acaciakit yowled unsheathing her tiny white claws before launching herself at a pretend RockClan warrior. "Sis help me with this one" the brown and white tabby she-kit meowed trying to aim blows at the imaginary warrior.

[Acerolapaw]

{Laaaate! Sorry, sorry I've been super busy recently!}

My eyes widened as 'Acacialight' called out an attack. I whipped my head around, imagining the TreeClan clearing bursting with life. Shadowy warriors threatening the very safety of our home. 'Like I'll let them get away with this!' "Acacialight, look out!" I cried as I pictured a broad-shouldered tomcat rearing up on his hind legs, and preparing to strike down upon my sister. I shot forward, raising my paws to meet his, and just barely saved her life. "Careful! There are a lot of them!" I hissed as I shoved the shadowy, make-believe cat away and whirled around on another.

[Acacialight]

"Thanks sis!" Acaciakit continued to battle the pretend warrior. The brown and white tabby pretended to slip under the imaginary warrior and slash her claws across its belly, sending the warrior running back into its territory. Acaciakit pretended to throw herself at another imaginary warrior pinning it down.

[Its fine]

[Acerolapaw]

I watched as my sister slashed at the air, and then turned onto someone else. 'I bet she chased one of the shadow warriors off!' I realized. Though we did not share the exact same image of RockClan attacking, I felt close enough to Acaciakit to understand what she was thinking, and why. 'Well duh, she is my best-est sister ever!' "Of course!" I purred, taking a step back before diving a paw from above my head to the ground, leaving invisible scar marks down the flank of a warrior. As they fled, I turned to see how my sister was faring, only to just glimpse darkness from the corner of my eye. Sure, it had just been clouds covering the sun, but I was more creative than that. "Aaaah! Help!" I howled as a shadowy warrior pinned my down.

[Acacialight]

Acaciakit heard her sister cry for help. The brown and white tabby let go of the imaginary warrior she was pinning down and raced towards her sister. Acaciakit hissed at the pretend warrior and flung herself on him. She rolled and wrestled with the warrior. Acaciakit aimed a blow at the imaginary warrior. The brown and white tabby sent the warrior dashing away. "Only a few more" she told her sister. But then she pretended to see a large muscular warrior launching himself onto her ad pinning her down. "Get off of me" she growled pretending to slip out of the warrior grip.

[Acerolapaw]

I rose up, shaking my fur as if ruffled, but I was not fazed. Ha! In a real battle, all of these warriors would have fled already in terror! We only kept them around for fun! I nodded swiftly at my sister's words, before another shadowy illusion attacked, pinning Acaciakit down. I lunged forward, baring my fangs at the large shadow. "Get off my sister, flea-face!" I snapped, swiping a paw in the air, smacking the cat's flank. I then shot forward, my head smashing into their chest and throwing the enemy far across camp. Though I knew nothing like that could ever happened, it didn't hurt to pretend they went flying. "Did you see that, Acaciak-- er, light. I think we can win this!"
