Dandelionkit
The nest she shared with her other mother, Morningheart, had grown soggy over the night. The she-cat who only ventured back to the nursery to sleep and keep Dandelionkit warm had done so after patrolling. Dandelionkit did not complain, instead, she took up sleeping on top of the older she-cat. Morningheart continued to snore softly in her sleep as Dandelionkit stirred from her own slumber. Blinking back the light of the morning sun that had filtered into the nursery through small breaks in the covering, she yawned. Wide with her tongue curling slightly, pointy kitten teeth on full display. A shudder escaped her before she made her way slowly down her mother's flank. She narrowly avoided stepping directly on Morningheart's tail. Releasing the breath she had held once the crisis had been diverted, Dandelionkit set off.
The camp seemed eerily quiet. The guard stood near the entrance, a few warriors chatted over their morning meal. Judging by the yawns and unkempt pelts they were likely the dawn patrol preparing to set out. Curious of where they were headed, Dandelionkit watched as they left. Flicking her tail in farewell when they departed, one of the golden warriors smiled at her flicking his plume of tail over her nose in farewell. Sneezing with his action Dandelionkit's heart blossomed with affection for the older warrior. Excited he had noticed her and regarded her instead of sibling ignoring her or reminding her to go back to Morningheart.
Emboldened by his gesture Dandelionkit ran with what little bravery she gained. Now almost entirely alone in the camp, the calico she-cat spotted a den she hadn't ever explored. Healthy in every sense of the word Dandelionkit had never ventured into the medicine cat's den. In fact, the only time she had seen Kindleflare was in passing or when she checked on expecting queen. Fanning the flame of her curiosity, Dandelionkit headed in the direction her stride confident but quickly losing momentum the closer she got.
What if Kindleflare was busy? What if a cat was ill? Would she get in trouble for invading without asking?
Those and countless other thoughts filled her head but not in time to stop her from making the walk. Just outside of the medicine cat's den and with amble view of inside the unknown domain, Dandelionkit sat. Her tail flicked back and forth on the ground, neck extended slightly to try and peek further inside. The courage that got her this far had run out. Nothing left to make her walk-in or call out for Kindleflare. Instead, she sat awkwardly near the entrance waiting and wondering if anyone would notice.
Short steps, deep breath
Everything is alright
Chin up, I can't
Step into the spotlight
