The Hunt for Red October - Open

[Dolphinkit]

It was so, so empty. Dolphinkit walked carefully on the snow and tried to be ballsy. Her mother said, a lady should always be "ballsy." So she let her curiosity prevail, and although the snow was cold and unpleasant to walk on, Dolphinkit climbed to the top of a boulder. It was her first time outside of the den.

"I want milk."

Her ears swivelled back and forth delicately. They were hurt by the cold but she could hear the strangest of sounds. There was a far away thunder which unnerved her, and so she pressed her body gently against the ground. It was the ocean waves, and the glaciers.

"I want milk!" said Dolphinkit.

[Lambkit]

Lambkit tried to balance on top of the snow, her delicate paws making the smallest of dents. She tried not to stray too far from the nursery, as her white fur blended perfectly with the snow and she was afraid of getting trampled. ’I wonder if brown and ginger kittens feel that way about the autumn colors.’ She thought, brushing her bushy tail against the cold ground.

Then another cat caught her eye. It was another kitten, which was a pretty rare find in RockClan. Even though she slept in the nursery every night, she hardly noticed any other kits. She wouldn’t have seen this cat at all if it hadn’t been for her black patches. ’Should I go say hi?’ She wondered, though the kitten cried out and stopped her in her thoughts. ”I want milk!”

Lambkit padded over to the boulder and looked up at the kit. ”I... I can’t help you with that, but if you want to try some prey I’d be happy to share with you.” She squeaked, hoping she said the right thing.
