S.k.Y.k.I.t.
Episode 1: Sneaking Out Of Camp There it is! A fresh scent wafted to my nose on the breeze, it's gentle tendrils of hope refreshing my senses after being cooped up in the nursery. I had seen the older warriors drop to a hunting crouch as they snuck up on their prey.
Something shifted through the grass behind me but I ignored it, I was going to be the first kit to catch fresh prey and my clan would be so proud. The blue jay was pecking at the ground a few foxlengths away oblivious to my presence. I creeped towards it, my light fur blending in with the silver of the hill. But the something moved again and the bird flew away. I lunged after it but missed twisting to land on my rump in the grass. |

Marblestar had seen the kit leave the camp. She had decided to follow him. Marblestar had a hunch what the kit was up to. She followed after the kit. Ah! Just as I thought. Marblestar chuckled to herself silently. There's always at least one kit that does this. I should know, I was "that one kit" myself when I was younger! She took a couple paw steps closer to the kit. She spoke softly. She didn't want to scare the kit "Skykit...Would you like to tell me what you are doing out here, all alone, Dear?" She resisted the urge to grin. "You wouldn't by any chance be...oh I don't know....Trying to catch prey, would you?" She asked casually

Episode 1: Sneaking Out Of Camp I spun around my fur standing on end making me look like a ball of fuzz. My gray eyes widened as they fell on the leader.
"M-marblestar!" I squeaked trembling in the grass. "I-i...." I heard her words and ducked my head in embarassment. "I was trying to prove myself because I'm not clan born...." I never knew my parents but had an inkling that I had other siblings somewhere.....though I hadn't told anyone this. I gave my chest fur a couple of licks to break the akward silence but I felt her eyes on my small head.
"Am I in trouble?" I asked nervously. |

Prove himself? I wonder how the kit got it in his head he had to prove himself to the rest of us. I hope we haven't made him feel that way Marblestar smiled down at him. "Calm down little one. And I want you to know, you need not "prove" yourself to us. You are part of the clan. But you should know by now not to go out on your own. It's not safe. When you are an apprentice, you will get plenty of practice with hunting. Well...You won't get in trouble this time. But don't do it again, Ok?" She smiled at him again. "Now, why don't we head back into camp?" She flicked her tail towards camp and lifted one paw, ready to leave. She waited for him to follow

S.k.Y.k.I.t. Episode 1: Sneaking Out Of Camp My eyes filled with joy as she said this, I didn't have to prove I was worthy of the clan. Somehow my thoughts turned to Applekit, my friend. She wasn't able to come with me today but we usually did everything together. I looked up at Marblestar, my gray eyes bright. "I can't wait to be an apprentice." I told her, wishing more than anything that I could grow up soon so Applekit and I could have more adventures. |

Marblestar understood his longing to be an apprentice. "You'll make a great apprentice, I'm sure. And so will Applekit." She added, with a knowing smile. Marblestar was a very observant cat. She noticed the "little things". She always encouraged friendship, as she believed that it was good for the heart, soul, and made the clan stronger.
Marblestar padded along the path back to camp. She went slow enough so that Skykit could keep up.

Episode 1: Sneaking Out Of Camp My eyes glimmered at her words and I couldn't help but puff out my chest in pride. I was going to be the greatest apprentice in all of SkyClan and nobody could tell me any different because I wouldn't believe them. But I was impatient, I wanted to be an apprentice now!
"When can I be an apprentice?" I asked my grey eyes widening to the size of river stones. I was ready to leave the nursery and get my claws into some adventures!
OOC: he's four moons old yet kinda mature xD |

Marblestar laughed softly. She wasn't laughing at him, it just never ceased to amuse her of the anticipation that kits always experienced about becoming an apprentice. It was wonderful, to be an apprentice She recalled. But when one becomes a warrior....it is a feeling like no other She smiled to herself as they approached the outskirts of the camp "When you are 6 moons old." She said patiently "Two more moons. It won't take as long as you might think"

Episode 1: Sneaking Out Of Camp "Two whole moons?!" I moaned. "That's forever!" I huffed down in the grass of the camp clearing, my blue-gray fur fluffling out with frustration. I was tired of being babied, I was a warrior for StarClan's sake! It wasn't fair that I had to wait two more moons. I didn't want to wait, I wanted it now; I just didn't like it. |

"Trust me, it will be here before you know it. And we appreciate things more when we have to wait for them." She knew her words would be wasted on the kit though. She understood kits weren't concerned about "appreciating" things. She smiled as they entered camp.
Midnightsong noticed as they came into camp. She padded over them. She nodded to Marblestar, then her eyes shifted to Skykit. She greeted them with a mew. "What were you two up to, or is it a secret?" She asked, a grin on her face. She was in an abnormally good mood today.
