Nightkit was on a mission, she was proud of how deftly she had been able to hastily sneak out of the nursery. That was the story in her mind at least, to everyone else she was just a kit that had free reign to leave the nursery for a small while everyday before eventually being wrangled back to her den. She figured nobody could see her, when in fact her slinking around was witnessed by many cats all most likely figuring she was playing some sort of game. To Nightkit this was no game however, this was a carefully planned strike that had taken seconds, MINUTES even to plan out and needed to be carefully executed. Sneaking through Treeclans' camp she made her way to her target, having rehearsed this part at least three and a half times in her mind.This time she truly had gone unnoticed as she sneaked into a den she was most certainly not supposed to be in. Her target in site, she could barely contain herself but knew that jumping the gun would lead in mission failure... that just wasn't an option. Creeping closer she made sure she was well within striking distance, practicing her pounce in her mind before even attempting it in the real world. Just then she launched herself at her target, digging her claws in... shredding and spreading Lionstars' nest all over his den...

notes: Kind of a short start, but I have class so I literally ran out of time while writing. Feel free to jump in with anyone you like XD

Kit of TreeClan || 4 Moons || She-cat x profile x She wouldn't be her if she didn't follow her nursery mates out on whatever excursion they happened to be up to. While Mottledkit had been born the only kit of a litter the nursery had plenty of other tiny furballs to keep her amused. One such being the very kitten she tailed now. The older cats might not have noticed her antics, but Mottledkit was a very observant, if not nosy, kit who liked to keep her eye on everything and everyone. On light cream paws she toddled gamely along after the darker she-kit, pausing to duck behind a fallen branch or huddle against a shaded tree every time Nightkit turned to glance around. In no time the other lead her to Lionstar's den and with a quizzical expression she didn't hesitate to follow Nightkit in. With wide amber eyes she watched the other shred his nest and tear apart the padding of bracken and soft down that the leader slept on. With a squeal of mischievous delight she wasted no time in pouncing forward to leap upon a bit of a leaf that drifted upward in Nightkit's wave of destruction. How delightfully rebellious!

Sorrelflower had been having a good day, avoiding cats like Blackfire without too much trouble for once, unfortunately she hadn't been able to see a lot of her brother, Sandstrike. Oh well. She had done her hunting for the day, for once not being sucked into one of her daydreaming episodes, and felt rather in a good mood. She sat in a spot in camp where she was fairly certain she'd bother nobody. She was always paranoid about being a nuisance. After a while, however, she caught sight of two small shapes sneaking out of the nursery, and, to her alarm, watched the kits head straight for the leader's den. Oh dear. What should she do? She had never really interacted with kits before, not since she herself was a kit. But she had to do something! They would be in serious trouble. Sorrelflower knew that with her luck she might be blamed for whatever havoc the kits were wreaking in the leader's den, however, she was willing to risk it just this one time. She stood up and headed for the den, poking her head in and to her dismay saw the kits indeed doing exactly what they shouldn't...tearing up the leader's bedding. It was so youthfully ridiculous she experienced a swell of humor in her heart. "What do you little ones think you're doing? Get out of here before someone higher-ranked than me catches you!" She hoped her warning would actually scare them, at least a bit.

        He should have known this was going to happen someday. There were only a pawful of cats within TreeClan who would ever go into his den—particularly without him already inside of it; the high-pitched voices of kittens in play hooked the golden leader's ear like a claw into the silvery sides of a fish, reeling him in towards the ancient stump within his nest was laid. Espying the tail end of a tabby she-cat, he didn't immediately distinguish her by her reprimanding tone—in fact, it sounded almost out of place, but why would he think so? It's Sorrelflower, he reminded himself, at once realizing why the she-cat's words hadn't quite matched up. His view of Sandstrike's sister was similar to that of the rest of the Clan's: she had her head up in the clouds and her paws barely touched the ground, barely anchored to reality, and she often had to be tapped or jabbed to lure her back onto solid earth. He hadn't pictured her as much of a disciplinarian, but he appreciated the she-cat's efforts.

"What's going on in here?" To be honest, he didn't expect it to be Sorrelflower who was corralling the disobedient kits out of his den; appearing behind her, the purr that had been building up in his throat, waiting to be released, suffered an abrupt death when he saw what they were doing. Exasperation flared bright in amber eyes, the irritated, sharp sweep of his tail conveying his mood far better than words ever could. "Mottledkit, Nightkit, get out here now." Lionstar considered batting them around like mossballs, rolling them right back into the nursery like they probably deserved, but he was reigning in any urges that might've looked petty to the rest of the Clan. Besides, they were only kits, as much as he was bemoaning the sorry, sorry state his nest was in and the time it would take to replace what they'd shredded, he couldn't help but see a little of himself in the pair of vandals.

He and Bloodkit had done the exact same thing, once upon a time ago.

Although Nightkit was saddened her actions hadn't gone unnoticed completely the addition of her comrade Mottledkit provided much needed backup. The window for mission completion was quickly coming to a close and another set of paws would help her engagement end in success. However her admiration quickly turned to blame as Sorrelflower stumbled in upon them as well giving her the beginnings of a scolding. Nightkit was upset with her companion for giving away their position and would have words with her later about her carelessness. Looking back the dark kit surveyed the destruction and was pleased, this was clearly carnage she had hoped for but it was a hollow victory as she was discovered in the act. Problems compounded as not but a few moments later Lionstar himself was thrown into the mix and Nightkit had to try and quickly weight her options as Treeclans' leader demanded them from and center. She would knew they figured her captured, and Nightkit was aware of her impending punishment which would be far from pleasant. Calculations whirred through her mind and she decided her best option was to use Sorrelflower as her way out, she was soft and wouldn't be ready for decisive actions from a kit. Taking a few steps forward feigning compliance with Lionstars' orders Nightkit quickly turned and bolted to run right through Sorrelflowers legs yowling "You'll never take me alive!" She felt a pang of guilt leaving Mottledkit to her fate, but she knew the operational risks coming into their mission.
