Chapter 7 - KitClan Patrols
“Blossomkit? What are you doing?” Echonight mewed at Blossomkit, who seemed to be nosing around in front of a curtain of leaves.
“O-oh!” Blossomkit said, surprised.
“Blossomwing? What’s the hold up? Mintkit’s voice came from behind the leaves. “We all need prey you know!”
“Coming Mintstar!” Blossomkit hollered.
Just then, Lemonkit, Berrykit and Rosekit bounded over to the leaves hollering, “Border patrol returning!”
“How were things at the border?” Mintkit said, popping her head out of the leaves.
“Everything was fine. It was crowded though.” Lemonkit reported.
“Alright. Just as normal then. Also, have you seen Cranekit?” Mintkit asked
“No-” Berrykit was about to say.
Mintkit turned to see Cranekit bounding toward them yanking a bunch of herbs with him.
“Oh, there he is” Mintkit said.
“Mhm hmsnm msh” Cranekit tried to report, but because of the herbs, he couldn’t be understood. He pushed his way into the den, a stray poppy seed dropping to the ground.
All the kits followed except Blossomkit, who had evidently seen Echonight, and was now looking like a deer caught in headlights.
“It’s just KitClan….” she mumbled.
“WHAT?!” seven voices yelled from inside the den.
Fallenwings, who apparently had been in the area, looked at all of the frozen kits.
“Mintstar!” Blossomkit yelled “Invader in our territory!!”
“KITCLAN! ATTACK!!” Mintkit yelled.
Immediately all seven kits were pouncing on Fallenwings, and Mintkit had found a way to get on to Fallenwing’s head.
They all were rolling in a tumbling pile across the clearing, a mess of paws, tails, and ears.
Echonight looked up and said, “Kits! Leave Fallenwings alone! You’ll all roll into a patch of nettles.”
The attack immediately stopped.
Mintkit, pricked her ears, and sensed a rusling coming from the leaves.
“KITCLAN! ATTACK!”
