    Snakepaw grumbled as she dragged a heavy Blackbird across the camp toward the Nursery. 'Its an apprentice's duty to feed the queens and elders' she reminded herself thoughtful. Every step was still heavy though, she didn't exactly look forward to seeing kits. Scrambling about, loud as birds in new-leaf ,and excitable as foxes in the snow.
    With a heave, she poked her head in and dragged half the bird with her.

    "Ghostlight" 

    she called into the den softly. 

    "I've brought you a blackbird"
She sent a silent prayer to Starclan 'please let the kits be asleep'. Snakepaw didn't have it in her to ignore any cat, even kits, mostly because she just had to have the last word in any conversation. 'maybe I can stuff blackbird feathers in there mouth' she thought with an amusing twitch of her whiskers imaging hollykit or palekit's constant chatter with  quick paw and a handful of black feathers.

3 Moons. She-Kit. NightClan.

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire

Having been in the nursery for three solid moons, Hollykit had long ago learned to recognize the familiar faces of the cats who brought fresh prey to the nursery, which was mostly apprentices and her father (especially since Ghostlight was nearly the only queen in the nursery apart from Palekit's mother). The tortoiseshell apprentice that was calling for her mother, however, was not-so-familiar to the tiny black feline. Curious, Hollykit uncurled from her drowsy placement near her still-sleeping brothers, and sauntered over, pausing to streeeeetch out her front limbs. Snakepaw's lithesome, almost skeletal frame caught Hollykit's attention instantly.
She doesn't look very healthy to me. Or maybe she's just weird and skinny, like Ratfur. Hollykit observed with keen green eyes, drawing similarities between the older she-cat and her father's lackey since kithood, Ratfur, who absolutely fit his name better than any other cat could've. Blackwolf obviously wouldn't have let a sick cat anywhere near his offspring, so it definitely had to be the latter. She was just odd, like Ratfur and Hazepaw were odd.

Slowly, Hollykit lowered into a crouch, practicing her stealth as she crept towards Snakepaw's tail, eying the slender dark appendage with mischief in her heart and trouble on the brain. I've got you! Hollykit leaped, smart enough not to yell out a battle cry like her brother Bonekit whenever he tried to catch others unawares, favoring silence over the 'look at me, I'm attacking you!' approach.

    Snakepaw yowled in surprise and almost lept out of her fur as the tiny ball of fur caught her off guard. She was so focused on being quiet and scanning the den for Ghostlight she hadn't even sensed the younger kit.

    She flipped around quick as lighting and lashed her tail out of reach. Her back legs twisted around and kicked the prey into the den. Her movement sent feathers fluttering over the floor, some clung clumsily to Snakepaw's flank.

    Snakepaw did hers very best to hold back a loud hiss, knowing it was wrong to scold kits so strongly. However she let a low growl rumble in her throat.

"What do you think your doing!"

she scolded the kit. 
    Snakepaw was completely embarrassed. 'some warrior I am' she thought angrily to herself 'letting a little furball sneak up on me like that!'
She tried to remain cool, but Snakepaw had the patients of a badger on a rampage. She held back her tail from lashing wildly but the tip swiveled back and forth irritated.
