Early Risers

[Yoko]

Violetkit sat in her nest, looking at all the sleeping cats around her. Sometime during the night, even her watchful mother had fallen asleep. Violetkit knew that something had gone very wrong last night. As pleased as she was thinking that Sandkit might be harmed in some way, shape, or form, by the news. She understood immediately that it was more than that. Whatever it was, the Clan itself was unsettled by it. The only way to know for sure was to ask. The only cat she trusted enough to ask was her father, Hawkflight, but he would be angry small if she wandered from the nursery. Her second choice was Bristlepaw. He may not be a friend, but he'll keep a secret just because he's that soft-hearted.

Violetkit quietly crept from her nest. She was unsure if she wanted to take Creamkit along. Her sister was fairly noisy. In the end she decided it was best not to, and crept out of the den.

Stormkit peaked an eye open to see the small kit leave. Where was she going? he wondered. Quietly, and staying low, he crept amongst his siblings. He wasn't worried for even a moment about punishment! Violetkit was surely going to find out what had happened last night, and he wanted answers too!

He accidentally bumped into Silverkit, and paused to see if she would stir. Then he decided it was best not to wait, and bounded through the entrance instead.

Silverkit stirred lightly, and she murmured in her sleep. With a slight start, her eyes opened, and she focused just enough to see two shapes making their way out of the nursery. Stormkit? Violetkit? Feeling confused, she stood, and began to creep along after them. She held no grudge towards Violetkit and Creamkit, most likely because she had not been there, but why was Stormkit sneaking out? Wouldn't Mother be angry?

[Kitty]

Silverkit stirred beside Stonekit, and the gray tom woke slowly. "Whats going on?" he muttered groggily as he sat up. The den was still a little dark. He looked around. Just to make sure all his siblings were there. All of them but Stormkit were present. He wondered where he went.

"Why are we getting up so early?"

[Yoko]

Creamkit yawned at the sound of Silverkit's mew. She felt cold on her left side. Glancing down, she noticed that her smaller sibling was missing from their nest. She was going to ask Stormkit if he had seen her go, but Stormkit was missing too!

"Where is every cat?" she whispered tiredly.

Hearing the mewling and rustling from other siblings and kits a sigh escaped from Shadowkit. She was having such a nice dream, why did they have to be so loud? The little black kit blinked her eyes and stared at Silverkit and Stonekit. It looked like a couple of her siblings were awake. Turning to see Streamkit was still asleep she yawned and was about to fall back asleep when she heard the mentioning of Stormkit missing.

"He probably just went to get something to eat or something." she murmered. Nodding in agreement with Stonekit she was glad someone was being sensible about it being so early in the morning.

"If you guys are so concerned to see if you can find them, I'll wait right here for you and so if they come back and wonder where you guys are I can tell them." she murmered curling back up and trying to fall asleep.

[nightstorm]

Silverkit looked over her shoulder. Oops. Several other kits were stirring. "I...um...can't sleep," she whispered to Stonekit. "I'm just going to sit outside for a little while, okay? Then maybe I'll be sleepy enough to fall asleep again." This being said, she once again began to creep towards the entrance to the nursery, and slipped outside, shivering slightly in the cold morning air.

[☆ Y e l l o w ☆]

Sandkit slowly roused from her sleep, her ears angling toward where she heard some other voices talking. Half asleep and unable to decifer the noise, she opened her eyes slightly and peered out from her nest. It seemed like it was too early to be waking up already, so why could she hear her littermates' voices? She looked around the nursery to see exactly who was awake.

She caught a glimpse of Silverkit leaving the nursery and stared after her, confused? "Where is she going?" Sandkit mewed sleepily.

[Kitty]

Stonekit shrugged. "I dunno." Sandkit had mad ehim kind of curious, though, and he rose from his place inthe nest. He walked to the entrance to the nursery. "I'm...gonna go check on her..."

"Silverkit!" the gray kit called, glancing around the camp. "Where are you?"

((Dangit, short post. ;_;))

[Yoko]

"What is it?" Violetkit hissed as she strolled into the nursery. "What are you all mewing about?"

She weaved her way to her bewildered sister's side. Creamkit looked confused but seemed to swallow her question and curled closer to Sandtail.

Violetkit kept the same dark expression, but said nothing more.
