Sunlit Mists [Open after Middy/Brownpaw post]

Beams of warm light shone through the tiny gaps in the woven reeds that made up the nursery. Frogjaw, being the ever doting father, curled around his precious bundles with his mate, Tawnystorm. They were cherished little beings, each kit being a blessing from StarClan that they'd named with care. Little Lilykit was pale just as her name sake, and she had a sweetness in her eyes mixed with a twinge of mischief. Fennelkit and Torrentkit were born shortly after each other, Fennelkit resembled his mother, Fishstar with her spots and silver pelt. Whilst Torrentkit seemed to take after him, it was heartwarming.

Naturally Tawnystorm was off hunting, not too keen to be back in the nursery, but Frogjaw was more than happy to cover. "Wakey, wakey, kits! Today we'll be leaving the nursery for the first time!"

Lilykit struggled to open her delicate eyes due to the sun bothering them. She heard her father's voice, Wakey, wakey, kits! Today we'll be leaving the nursery for the first time!" so she pushed herself to wake up. Her light blue eyes squinted as she adjusted to the lighting in the nursery. She mewled out trying to get her fathers attention. Soon she started to get up, having a bit of trouble since she spent most of her short life curled up, and eventually falling back down with a small squeak. She looked at her father with innocent, curious eyes and began to purr as she nuzzled him.

Fennelkit was the next to awaken. The silver petted spotted kitten open her blue eyes dark paws scrabbling to get a good hold in the next. Shakily the she cat got to her paws and smiled"ok daddy I'm ready"she mewed.

Meanwhile Torrentkit opened her eyes before she shut them quickly back. The tabby kitten stayed curled up for a moment"d...do...i have to go?"She asked quietly not sure about going outside yet the small shy she kit didn't feel she was ready.

Flamekit was a large little kit, and stumbled on his paws as he bumbled over. "Silly goose," he laughed, almost six moons old. "You WANT to go out. It's so beautiful!" He grinned a goofy grin.

Torrentkit blinked looking at the larger kit before she laid her ears flat a bit too shy for her own good."i..i dont..kn..know"She stuttered nervously. She was a bit shy and wasn't too sure about going outside.

Fennelkit blinked bright blue eyes before she nudged her sister,Torrentkit gently"im sure its not that bad"

Lilykit watched them and decided that she couldn't wait any longer. She got up and went over to the other kits and got into a playful pose. Her eyes shining with a mischeivous glint. She purred playfully. "Let's go now!!!" The little white she-cat said with a lot of enthusiasm. "Don't you guys want to go explore?" She asked her two sisters. She looked over at Flamekit and playfully pawed at his tail.

Fennelkit lifted her head for a moment blue eyes looking to her sister quietly"well shouldn't we wait for father anyways?"She spoke tail flicking.


Torrentkit didn't budge the small she kit was shy and afraid to go out and meet others. Though if Frogjaw went she would try and go avoiding the idea of laying alone in the nest.

Lilykit thought about what Fennelkit said and sighed. "I guess you're right. We should wait for father." she said as she laid down next to her sisters. "What do you think is out there?" Lilykit suddenly asked.

Frogjaw cleaned up the nest first, making sure that it was lined properly so that the queens didn't complain about his presences. He took his time, but when he noticed how impatient his kits were getting antsy, he popped over to them. "Ready?" He said, before slipping out of the entrance. "Come on, lets go see the fresh kill pile. I'll let you pick something!"

Lilykit looked at her father and then at her sisters and quickly got up. She followed her father out of the nursery, finally getting to see the outside. She turned back and happily purred at her sisters, "Come on let's go!"
