Coalkit padded nervously inside the dark brambles, he smelled a few older kits, but younger than he was. The dark grey tom also smelled lots of younger kits and milk. Of course he had no use for milk, not since he was three moons old. He had no idea that Clan kits were weaned around four moons. Coalkit looked for his sister, hoping that for once, she would not sneak off.
Emberkit was padding after her brother confidently, but when she heard the mewling of kits younger than her she said, "I'm not sleeping in there! I'll go find a place by my self, maybe the apprentices den."
"Emberkit, you know we are not allowed in there, Bramblestar told us that we have to sleep here, so the queens can start teaching us the Warrior Code and learn about StarClan." Coalkit said when he heard pawsteps behind him. He whipped around with fright, hissed and unsheathed his claws.

"Calm down, new one.." A voice said from behind. A white coat apeared, and a red, fluffy tail behind it. "I'm Rowanpaw, and I'm to help you get used to us." She sat down, looking at both kits, then she noticed that one of those kits- "Are you the one that call Emberkit? Little one?" She asked cheerfully, pointing at Emberkit with her eddish tail.

"I used to be called Lily, but I guess we get names from where we come from. ThunderClan found us near the fire, so Bramblestar gave us names that were related to fire." Emberkit thought for a moment, "It'll take getting used to my new name but I like how it sounds. Are you the cat that saved me?" The bold she-cat asked, narrowing her pretty eyes.
"Be nice." Coalkit growled at his sister, "Shes not used to so many cats... neither am I"

Rowanpaw looked at the small she-kit. "Yes, I just found you there so near the fire, and I just had to save you. I couldn't have let you thee and die!" She explained. "And I get what you mean Coalkit. It is going to take time for you both to get used. But I promise, you'll like it here." Rowanpaw smiled and continued. "I will be glad to help you in anything you need, just c'me to me if you have a question..."

Emberkit thought for a second, then her eyes brightened as she asked in a voice that was extrememly excited, "Can we go hunting? Mother taught us how and she was just about to teach us h-" Emberkit fell to the ground, she picked herself up and glared fiercely at her brother for knocking her down but didn't finish what she was saying.
Coalkit met her sister's harsh gaze, then meowed, "Do you know who our mother and father are Rowanpaw?" The tom asked in a small voice, as he felt his fur prickle with the thought of having these cats know who thier parents were. "When do we become apprentices? Will we like our mentors? Will our mentors like us?"

Rowanpaw was suddenly attacked by the kit's questions. "No, I didn't know your parents, and I don't think anyone else does. We just found you both in the fire, no one else. And you will become apprentices when you are a bit older. We don't know who yuor mentors will be, the leader chooses that, so we can't be sure if they'll like you or not. But I can garantee you that they are very bound to like you both." She smiled. "But about you liking them.. well.. that'll be your own choice. Though many of our warriors are very nice.."

Coalkit meowed, "oh, ok. How will the ceremony work? And what's StarClan?" Coalkit stopped, then meowed very carefully, "Are there other Clans?" He knew the answer but his forest green eyes remained innocent. He was wasn't he?
Emberkit held her tongue, then repeated, "Can we go hunting? I'd love for some mouse." And to hear it squeal.... but I doubt these soft-hearted cats believe in the way I hunted with mother. And why should I not tell them who our mother and father are? "Do you want to know who our mother and father are?"
"No, he doesn't, no one does. No one really cares, so we'll keep it that way." Coalkit flashed a warning glance at his sister.

"Um.. sure we can go hunting. But we need to ask for permission first. I'll go find a warrior that'll go with us. And.. about your parents. I will like to know, but if you want to keep it a secret then it is not my bussiness." Rowanpaw meowed. "And, there are other clans, but we cannot talk to them for any reason at all, just when fighting or at gatherings. And.. Starclan is where our ancestors are. They are up there, in silverpelt, at night, watching over us. But now, would you like to go hunting? As Emberkit suggested? I can go look for Daylight.."

"Great!" Emberkit yowled with pure excitement, her eyes shining like flames.
Coalkit thought deeply, then meowed, "Can we tell you who our parents are once we've started hunting?"

Rowanpaw grinned at Emberkit's reaction, and just nodded at Coalkit's words. Then let's get going, I want to find Daylight before she can go on any patrol. Rowanpaw padded out of the nursery, eyes alert for Daylight's ginger pelt. Rowanpaw spotted her near the warrior'sden.
"Daylight!" She called. "Can you please come with us for some hunting? You know i can't go alone with two kits.." Rowanpaw pleaded, putting her very convincing watery eyes.
Daylight turned around, and saw Rowanpaw. "Oh, Hi Rowanpaw.. um.. well I had things to do, but I guess I can come with you and the two new kits?" She sighed. "Alright.. but just for a while.." Daylight padded back besides Rowanpaw, comenting about the two new kits.
"Great!" Rowanpaw exclaimed. "They are so cute and adventorus! I think they are quite nice.." She grinned.

Coalkit grinned, feeling more and more comfortable being around the ThunderClan cats.
Emberkit on the other hand, had other plans, she wanted to hunt... her way. But she knew she'd have to do it out of the hearing and seeing range of these soft-hearted cats. Her mother had taught her to hate the Clan cats, and just because one saved ehr live and gave her a new home, didn't mean she had to hate them any less. Emberkit gave her sweetest, innocent smile, saying in an actors voice, "I can't wait to learn how you hunt. Maybe I can show you how we hunt."
Coalkit stepped back, alarm in his eyes but didn't say anything and he soon made his eyes back to the happy sparkle that was always in them. Almost as if the alram and fear had never been there.

Daylight padded to infront of the nursery. "So, are we going?" She called nicely to Coalkit and Emberkit. She smiled at both kits actittude.
Rowanpaw was besides Daylight. "Coalkit! Emberkit! Are you coming or not?.." She called. Emtion growing in her for showing the two new-commers their ways.

Emberkit bounded after them, even passing them once in a while, in search of prey. "What do you catch here?"
Coalkit scampered after her sister, hoping she wouldn't hunt the way Ravenrush taught them, they'd get killed right then and there by ThunderClan.

Daylight was first to reply. "Well, there are voles, rabbits, squierrels, mice... and other things." She explained. "But mostly those I mentioned. Rabbits right now are quite yummmy.:" She said with a grin.
Rowanpaw nodded, and moved from Daylight's side to Emberkit's. "And so, how do you plan to hunt all that?"

"The way mother taught us... and also my own perfected way." Emberkit meowed with a slight edge to her voice.
"No we don't!" Coalkit growled at his sister, he knew exactly what she was planning and just because she hated the ThunderClan cats and wanted to get thrown out didn't mean that he wanted to. He turned back to Rowanpaw and Daylight, "We'll hunt the way you hunt, and nothing else."
((this is gonna be moved to someplace else, called Kit Hunting...))
