Mintkit & Blossomkit - Foxglove
“Blossomwing, Honeylight, Berrystorm, Lemonheart, Canarydawn, Palefern, Hiddenbranch, Rosefall, and Craneleaf! These will be your names, for you have chosen them!” Mintkit declared, standing on the sunny rock by the medicine den. “Blossomwing is my deputy, Craneleaf is my medicine cat. Does anyone want to be an elder or queen?”
The kits shook their heads.
Blossomkit looked around, grinning. I’M KITCLAN DEPUTY! DEPUTY! DEPUTY! DEPUTY! DEPUTY! DEPUTY! DEPUTY! DEPUTY! DEPUTY! DEPUTY! DEPUTY! DEPUTY! DEPUTY! DEPUTY! She screamed in her head.
“Blossomwing. Organize patrols on this rock.” Mintkit decided. “KITCLAN DISMISSED.” She added while she jumped off the rock.
Blossomkit leaped onto the sunny rock, which they had named the Sunrock, where the leader would hold KitClan meetings and the deputy would do patrols on.
“Canarydawn, Hiddenbranch, Berrystorm. Patrol the left side of camp. I, Honeylight, and Craneleaf will sneak out of camp and get the herbs on top of the gorge. We’ll make sure to mark it while we’re gathering! Palefern, Lemonheart, Berrystorm and Rosefall. I trust you can hold camp while we are gone.” Blossomkit announced. She glanced at Mintkit, who was watching. The greenish she-kit nodded, meaning the patrols were all good.
Blossomkit jumped off of the rock just like Mintkit had a minute before. She glanced backward as she padded away to see if Cranekit and Honeykit were following. Honeykit was helping Cranekit walk but they still were following, so she continued to the camp entrance.
Once they had gotten near the camp entrance, she glanced around to check for any other cats.
“Ready?” She whisper-asked the other kits.
“Ready.”
“Ready…”
“Honeylight will distract anyone who comes near. Me and Craneleaf will run up and hide. Honeylight will then run up after us when no one is there.” Blossomkit declared. “ Is that good?” She added when she felt a twinge of doubt. Blossomkit had never been out of camp before.
The other kits nodded, giving her a little burst of courage.
“Well then. Let us… Begin!” she meowed.
Honeylight sat at the base, glancing around. “All clear!” She murmured to the two kits beside her.
“Craneleaf. Grab my tail.” She declared, already leaping up the camp entrance.
Cranekit did so, and they made it up quickly before anyone noticed. The kits hid in a bush at the top of camp entrance.
“WoOoOowwWwwWwwWwWWwwWW” Blossomkit whispered, looking around. The lush green forest surrounded her as the morning sunlight dappled her dark fur. “It’s beautiful.”
“Huh? What?” Cranekit quietly asked.
“The forest…” She dreamily murmured, drinking in the rich scents of animals and prey and leaves.
“What does it look like?” He sounded as if he was wondering out loud.
Blossomkit wasn’t sure if she was supposed to say anything but she answered, “It’s green and leafy and full of trees!”
“I don’t know what any of that looks like…” Cranekit muttered, a sad note to his voice.
“Oh.” She didn’t know what else to say.
Honeykit decided to burst into the bush at this exact second. “OH MY STARCLAN THIS IS SO PRETTY I WANNA LIVE IN THE FOREST FOREVER!” She loudly declared.
Blossomkit gasped. “SHUSH!” She hurriedly hissed, guiding Honeykit fully into the bush with her tail.
“Sorry…” She muttered.
“Anyways. Craneleaf. Where is the herb?” Blossomkit whispered.
“It’s called catmint. It tastes super good. It has purple flowers. Do you see any?” Craneleaf turned his head toward Blossomkit, even though he couldn’t see her.
She and Honeykit scanned the area, looking out of the holes in the bush.
“Found it! It’s over here!” Honeykit exclaimed, pointing her tail towards a purple splotch to the left of Blossomkit.
Cranekit turned his head as far as could. “I think Darkvalley mentioned a patch over here. Lets go!”
The three kits quietly padded outside of the bush towards the clump of purple flowers. They hastily gathered some and ran back to the bush.
“What do they look like?” Cranekit inquired.
“A tall stalk with a lot of little purple flowers on it.” Blossomkit informed Cranekit.
“That's exactly like Darkvalley said!” Cranekit cheered, “She says it tastes good but not to eat too much. Lets try some!”
The kits gathered round, and knelt their heads down to eat. Blossomkit took the first bite, only taking one flower from the stalk and chewing it for a long time. She swallowed a seed.
At that minute, right before the other kits were about to eat anything,
Darkvalley, Echonight, Silentstar and Fallenwings exploded into the bush.
Darkvalley gasped, looking at the purple flower on the ground and little pieces hanging out of
Blossomkit’s mouth.
“FOXGLOVE!” She screeched.
Everything erupted into chaos.
But Blossomkit didn’t see any of it. The world had turned black.
