Wishing

[~*hawkclaw*~]

Duskkit sat by the mouth of the nursery peering out of den. She watched other cats go back and forth doing their tasks and jobs of the day. She wished that she could get out of the boring nursery and finally move around with other cats of Riverclan. Duskkit wanted to go hunting and prowling through the forest. She wanted to learn to fish and can't wait for the day when she does. As she sat there she drifted in to a day dream. She dremt that she was a strong warrior of Riverclan siting at the bank of the river and she gazed in to the clear crystal water. As she looked in to the water, she saw soom fish swim by. Duskkit, was Dusksun, she darted her slender paw at lightning speed in to the cold water. She tried to remember what she recently learned about how to catch a good meal. Just then she lifted her paw and she flipped a great big fish on to the green grass. As it flopped there, she padded toward it and bent down to sink her pearly white fangs in to the slipery fish. She felt victory as she daydreamed that she carried a fish to the Riverclan camp.

Rustkit woke slowly. He was a heavy sleeper who never woke to anything. He saw his sister sitting by herself as his other kin slept beside him. He slowly got up and stretched his paws. He moved over to Duskkit's side and slightly leaned on her side. "Whatcha thinking about?" he asked her softly. He knew she wasn't paying very much attention to what was going on on the outside world, but he waited patiently for a simple response. The RiverClan camp was quiet near the nursery. Rustkit knew that he and his brother and sisters would become apprentices in a moon or two, and the thought alone seemed to fill him with excitement. "I wonder who I'll get as a mentor?" he half asked Duskkit, more aimed toward himself. There were many RiverClan warriors now and even a new leader and deputy. He held onto his dream of figuring out who his father really was, knowing that Frozencreek wasn't their father. He suspected that his father was dead, not in another Clan. The thought bounced around in his head.

Cream colored tom crouched in the shadows. Watching two of his siblings. He rolled his pale green eyes. They could only dream of power, Creamkit would actually get power. The handsome yet arrogant kit sat up. Wondering if he should go see what they were talking about. Probably about how they wanted to leave the dingy nursery. He looked around for their mother, if she was indeed that. Afterall, she was lying about their father. What's to say she wasn't lying about being their mother? The cream tabby sighed standing up he padded over to Rustkit and Duskkit.

"Do you think we'll become apprentice's soon?"

He asked pretending to be interested in their conversation. Though he did indeed not care. They would soon be adversaries. He needed to learn whatever he needed from them. He needed to know their weakness'. Because one day...he might have to kill one of them for leadership. Yes, Creamkit loved the thought of being Creamstar. He was willing to do anything for leadership. For a strong title, nine lives...It was pure bliss just dreaming of it. But, Creamkit had to be hard on himself if he wanted leadership. No dreaming, he needed to prove himself a worthy leader for Riverclan. Even if he didn't meet all the standards yet. One day, Winterleaf would choose him to be her deputy. A dreamy look came to his pale eyes. Though, none would ever know what he was really thinking about.

Rustkit turned around, startled by his brother's question. He had no iead that he had been awake. "Soon enough. And then after that, warriors! I wonder what my warrior name will be?" he asked himself outloud. There were so many thoughts that raced through his young life. His eyes had seen so little outside of the scents of RiverClan There were so many things he had yet to see and so many things he had yet to do. He longed to explore the open plains, swim in the river for the first time, and catch his first prey.

He never longed for power, but for respect and authority. He was more of a leader than a powerthirster. He saw himself as a warrior that was well-respected and loved by all. He wanted a mate and kits of his own. He even wanted his own apprentice, now before he himself was an apprentice. The golden sun was high in the sky, giving Rustkit thoughts and hopes that as clueless as he was to his past and history, he was going to make a name for himself.

Duskkit was suddenly pulled from her thoughts. She looked around her, slowly getting used to the real world. She just missed their few questions and had no idea what Rustkit or Creamkit said. So other cats around her knew that she was in the real world, she meowed, "Hello, good morning."

[Raven]

Creamkit narrowed his eyes. Duskkit hadn't even heard them. She'd have to start showing more respect, because one day...He'd be Creamstar. She'd probably be in the nursery. He rolled his eyes in disgust. How he hated foolish dreams and foolish kits. Creamkit could not hate himself, for he was not a foolish kit. He was indeed a very bright cat. Though he still couldn't understand why Winterleaf and the others seemed to be wary or suspicious of him. He'd just have to hide his ambition better. The creamy tom flicked his ears, catching the sound of a bird's call. The urge to run made his paws itch. But as a self disciplined kitten he stayed put. The call of the wild urging him to be better, stronger then he could ever imagine.

"We were just talking about becoming apprentices. Won't it be super?"

He easily hid his sneer. Gosh dolly, I wish I was an apprnetice now! He mocked silently.

[~*hawkclaw*~]

Duskkit suddenly relized that the others knew that she was a little "crazy." For once she heard her serious brother's question. Then she replied,"Yes it would be super to be an apprentice. I'd be the best apprentice of all the clans," she meowed teasingly. After that she lunged at Creamkit and started play fighting with him. "I got you now," she hissed in to his ear.

[Pale*]

Rustkit lept at Duskkit, aiming his sheathed paws at her flank. He missed and tumbled over her and rolled in the dirt on his back. "Don't you dare laugh," he threatened with a playful tone. He was a little clumsy, he'd admit to that. He got up again and shook the dust off of his back. [/size]

[~*hawkclaw*~]

Duskkit laughed out loud and then relized that she made a small mistake. She looked around to see what Rustkit would do next.

[Pale*]

Rustkit couldn't help but laugh. He fell back to the floor, rolling on his back laughing. "Did you see me?;/b]" he giggled, squeakily. He panted heavily when he finally managed to get a hold of himself again. His heart was beating hard against his chest. [/size]

[~*hawkclaw*~]

At the sight of her brother laughing and the memorie of him falling made her squeal with laughter too.

[Raven]

The creamy tom leapt nimbly away from Duskkit. Sniffing in disdain for her ways. He walked sulkily away to a corner. His back turned to his two siblings. Cleaning his dust flecked pelt. Not even interested in Rustkit. They were to mousebrained to prepare themselves. He stared out of the nursery again. Looking at all the clan cats. One day...He'd be standing on that large rock. Calling upon four kits.
**Daydream**
"From this day forward, I name you Toadpaw, Frogpaw, Lizardpaw and Snakepaw!" His voice rang above the large clan. The kits turned apprentices touched noses with their mentors. He stepped off the large stone. Pride in his eyes. "Creamstar?" Another asked. "Yes, Talonfeather?" He asked the warrior.
**DD Over**

The creamy tom blinked in astonishment at what he percieved as a sign from Starclan. A big smirk plastered onto his face. Creamstar... His mind echoed with pleasure.

[{Snarky}]

Sparklepaw padded into the nursery, ducking her head to avoid getting the protective brambles stuck in her fur. She opened her mouth to call out, but stopped as she saw the kits alone.

"Where is your mother?"
she asked politely, although her voice was barely hiding her frustration at yet again missing Rosethorn. Her tail twitched behind her. All three of the kits knew that she was not only their mother's apprentice, but a close friend as well. Sparklepaw was about to become a warrior, and if she was excited, she kept it well hidden from the kits.

[~*hawkclaw*~]

Duskkit look toward the entrance of the nursery and saw Sparklepaw, the kind apprentice that saved me from the river. The she replied,"I have not seen her for awile....why?"

[Pale*]

Rustkit stopped laughing and started to pay attention to what was happening around him. "Mother went out a while ago. I thought that she was with you, but I guess not. " He was concearned for his mother, but was happy to have some company. "You'll be a warrior soon, won't you, Sparklepaw?" he asked, his vioce full with seriousness. He liked Sparklepaw, a lot. He knew that she only saw him as a cute little kit, but wanted her to see him as a strong cat who would make a great warrior. [/size]

((I don't know why, but Rustkit likes Sparklepaw! lol. Don't worry, they won't be anything more than friends.))
