Patchedkit bounced on her paws outside the warriors den, her eyes bright and impatient. "Maplefur!" She called for the hundredth time. It was early still, the dawn patrol was still gathering and getting ready to enter the gray, misty forest. The small tortoiseshell kit had been awake for what seemed an eternity. Patchedkit had been waiting for this day since their nighttime meeting on the border of Eagleclan. Patchedkit debated going back to the nursery and waiting for the older cat to wake. Sneaking into the warriors den, Patchedkit decided was a bad idea, and called for Maplefur again.

Maplefur padded outside and smiled, amused by the kit's enthusim. She yawned and shook herself awake. "Okay, okay let's get out of here before you wake up the entire forest!" Mapelfur smiled friendly. "Follow me!" She padded slow enough for the kit to see her. When she got outside the camp entrance, she waited for Patchedkit to catch up.

"FINALLY! What were you doing! You've been sleeping forever!" Mewed Patchedkit in a irritated squeak. Maplefur was smiling and told her to follow her out of camp. This was fabulous! Running out of the camp without a worry of someone noticing was amazing. Catching up to the older cat, Patchedkit wriggled, smelling the air and hoping to go immediately.

Maplefur took a wiff of the air. "Do you smell that?" She asked the young kit. The prey seemed to be waking up this time in the morning as well. She fluffed out her pelt than made it smooth again, still trying to wake herself up.

"What?" Said Patchedkit, pulling her gaze away from the patch of moss she was looking at. "Oh yeah. It smells like..." Patchedkit took a whiff of the damp misty air and screwed up her face in concentration, "...mice!" Patchedkit looked frantically around as if the mouse would be sitting right next to her.

Maplefur purred. "Remember it well. It will be one of the questions your mentor will ask you" Maplefur informed the young kit. "You are very lucky to be going out at all at this age you know? Getting to be ahead of all the other kits in Wolfclan" She purred. "Okay now what do you think you smell?" She noticed they were getting very close to the stepping stones again, and were getting near Eagleclan border.

"My eagleclan friend." Said Patchedkit, in response to her mentor's question. "Not that he and I are friends." said Patchedkit quickly. Her brother had been quick to be inform her of the warrior code when she'd told him about her encounter with the other cat. "I barely know him. But.... it smells like water, and it smells like a weird clan. Not nice like wolfclan," the kit sniffed, and looked up to the older cat's eyes, hoping to see pride in them.

Maplefur smiled "You learn quickly for one so young" She nodded her head "And it is okay to have friends in other clans, but just remember where your loyalties lie" Maplefur added. Then they both came to a tunnel entrance. "No cats have entered into this hole. And those who have, never came back, so don't be mouse-brained and go exploring in that when you become apprentice, or when you're a warrior okay?" Maplefur shivered. She was told stories of some cats who tried to enter the tunnels.

"How do you know they never came back? Maybe that's just a stupid story they tell naughty kits to make them shut up and behave?" Looking down the dark hole, Patchedkit reconsidered her comment. "If I ever decide to explore them, I'll make sure to make Owlkit come with me." Having a friend their, especially logical Owlkit, would be a comfort if she ever ventured into the dark, cold passage.

Maplefur chuckled "Like you?" She prodded her with a paw gently on her side. "Owlkit is a good kit to have around. He's not as reckless as normal kits are" She meowed remembering the days that she nursed the two kits when they found them out in the forest. "We found them both right around here I believe" Maplefur meowed, getting lost in memories.

"I'm naughty? Nobody's ever told me before." Said Patchedkit sarcastically. She giggled as a Maplefur prodded her with a paw. "Owlkit is a good friend. He's not good at thinking up schemes though. At least he's not a complete stick in the mud like that brother of his." mewed the kit, her eyes clouding with anger she mentioned Foxkit. She was about to say more about the duo, but was put off by the look in Maplefur's eyes.
