Quick Note: Echonight wrote up until the ... , Winterflower wrote the rest. We both wrote some of Chapter 3 - Rain, to. From now on Winterflower is writing Mintkit, and Echonight is writing Fallenwings.
Chapter 5 - KitClan Camp
Rosekit and Blossomkit had been bickering about why Blossomkit was deputy for long enough that Mintkit was tired of it. She slipped out of the den into the heavy rain, and began to run across the empty gorge. The rain fell down through the trees, which only slightly blocked it and pelted against her fur while she ran through FallenClan camp. She luckily had made it to her secret hideout before anyone noticed she was gone. Her hideout was a small cave just big enough for her and two others her size to fit in. There were small dents in the sides of the cave that she had hid things in. There was a scrap of the nest she woke up in, and a feather of the first prey that she had eaten in FallenClan. There was a piece of moss that she and Blossomkit had played with when she arrived in FallenClan. She smiled as her paw touched each of them, and the memories that she had surged through her head in a strong wave of happiness. She sat down on the nest she had made, and gently pulled the leafy branches to block the entrance so no one saw her bright pelt in the little cave. She needed a secret place to be calm and not bothered. Clan life was demanding and tiring, she needed a break. Mintkit closed her eyes, layed down, and then the world turned black.
…
Mintkit woke up to find Blossomkit’s face looming over her. She let out a yelp of surprise. What? When? Why? HOW? Mintkit frantically thought and scrambled to the other side of the cave.
“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Mintstar!! Is this our camp!?” Blossomkit looked around, clearly amazed.
“U-u-uhhh” Was all Mintkit could say as she hastily hid her stuff in a compartment that was nearly impossible to see.
“HEY ROSEFALL! GET OVER HERE!! IT’S AMAZING!!!!” Blossomkit screamed.
Will Blossomkit ever stop talking?! Mintkit thought.
In a matter of seconds, Rosekit was in the hideout too. Mintkit sighed. That was the end of her secret hideout. Blossomkit was practically bouncing off the walls by now.
“Nice camp.” Rosekit said, peering around to inspect the cave.
All Mintkit could do was sigh. She had no intention of this ever happening. But, life seemed to have different plans for her after all. She just sat there, watching, horrified that her friends would find her little stash.
Suddenly, Palekit, Berrykit, Hiddenkit, Cranekit, Canarykit, Lemonkit and Honeykit all poked their heads in the cave.
“Hi Mintstar!” Berrykit said.
“Blossomkit...What did you do?!” Mintkit whispered to Blossomkit.
“... I expanded the clan!” Blossomkit replied
Now, with all of the kits in the cave, it seemed much larger all of a sudden. Mintkit was about to say something like, Why Blossomkit Why? But then,
“Kits!!” Echonight called “It’s time to eat!”
Saved by prey. Mintkit had just noticed that she actually was pretty hungry, not having eaten for a while. How does Echonight know? Mintkit thought happily. She’s always there for us.
