Dark-kit nudged a little closer to Firekit. "T-t-thanks." he managed to say, his teeth chattering from the cold. "It wasn't your fault Arrowkit." he said, feeling slightly warmer. He didn't think that Arrowkit heard him. He stood up and shook his fur once more, before going off to follow Arrowkit. "Lets go find him, before he gets into trouble." he grinned, before heading towards the direction that his brother went to. His fur only had slight traces of dampness on it, and it would soon dry off. Though he was sure he would get a slight cold after this. [/center][/color]

Whitekit rushed forward, watching her brothers fall into the water. With a cry of distress, she could only watch helplessly until they pulled themselves from the churning water. "I knew leaving camp was a bad idea." She growled under her breath. As Arrowkit looked a bit put out and walked away, she bounded after him. His pelt was still soaking wet, and she began to lick it with her tiny pink tongue. "Hey, it was an accident. You both are okay, and that's all that matters. Let's see if we can find herb tree." She paused, adding with a squeak of excitement, "I've heard it's older than any clan in the forest! Come on!" She dashed off again, her paws getting hot as they touched the sun-warmed stalks. Thinking, she realized that Arrowkit and Darkkit would become dryer if they ran through the meadow under the blazing sun. She tilted her head towards the sky and let out a loud, light-hearted laugh.

Dark-kit rushed after his two siblings. The thought of being able to see the herb tree made him run as fast as his little paws could carry him. The wind blew against his damp fur, making him shiver more at first, but soon, the heat from the blazing sun warmed his fur, and he began to feel better. Maybe he wouldn't get sick after all.

Arrowkit furiously shrugged Whitekit off, he loathed it enough when their own mother bathed him like that, and now his sister had just done it. Wanting to be by himself, Arrowkit took off full speed, which, since he was a bit thinner than his siblings, was pretty darn fast.

Whitekit reached the Herb tree, looking sideways to find that Darkkit had caught up long ago. "Wow." She meowed in awe, looking up into the endless branches that she fancied could have brushed the sky. "The apprentices told me that no ones ever climbed to the top." She meowed slowly, her mind beginning to work at the possibilities. Finally, being able to stand it no longer, she clawed her way up the bark, and onto the first branch. The limb she now perched on, which was the lowest one on the tree, was still very far off the ground. Grinning, she gave what she thought to be her loudest roar. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the herb tree for a clan meeting!" She meowed, beginning a game of pretend.
Carefully turning around, she leaped onto a higher branch, meowing, "Meadowclan is in a bit of trouble." Leaping up another level: "You see, Fogclan have launched a surprise attack by going around the lake!" And still climbing higher. "So, we must fight back! We must defend what is ours!" Now she stopped climbing, not realizing that she was standing on a very flimsy, dead branch. Bouncing a bit where she stood, she emphasized her next words, the branch bending upwards and downwards as she moved. "We go to battle, Meadowclan, ATTACK!"
On her last word, she'd stomped her forepaws on the branch with so much force, that it snapped! With a horrified squeal, she plunged through the sharp, grasping fingers of the branches. She clawed wildly, trying to catch herself even as the leaves whipped at her pelt like furious knives, stabbing her ruthlessly. Her tiny claws failed though, although they did manage to scrape desperately at one branch, and considerably slow her fall.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, she landed in a large patch of clover at the base of the tree. The dull thump of her body hitting the ground was quite gruesome, as she'd been so dazed that she hadn't even managed a cry of pain. The noise echoed a bit around the area, and Whitekit lay very still at the base of a towering culprit. Her sides, while still moving gradually as she breathed, were doing so at a very quick rate. Her forepaw was twisted awkwardly beneath her. [/color][/center]

Goldencloud had noticed that her kits were missing, and had frantically rushed from the camp, searching. It was as Whitekit fell, that she appeared through the brush, her face horror struck as she watched her kit plummet from a high place on the Herb Tree. With a cry of terror that reverberated throughout almost all of MeadowClan, Goldencloud streaked forward. Arrowkit stopped in his traclks, listening intently when the sound of a feirce thud echoed, followed by a shriek of terror. He turned on his paws and tore through the forest, following the noise.

"Whitekit! Whitekit are you okay?" Dark-kit went over to his sister, nudging her with a paw. His heart was pounding hard against his chest. He started to panic. He knew it was his fault. He should have listened to Whitekit and stayed at camp. "Whitekit!." he said, before nudging her again, harder this time. [/center][/color]

Whitekit was surrounded by darkness. She felt whispers calling her, and the intense pain that she'd only felt for a heartbeat was now totally gone. Stepping forward through pitch black trees, she saw now all around her bright, tiny specks lighting up the area. She saw scores of cats, their pelts littered with stars. They waved their tails beconingly, and suddenly she felt herself very tired. With every step she took towards them, she felt sleep coming on. Soft, forgiving sleep. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
But then she felt a paw prod her side, and pain rippled through her whole body. Her left forepaw was throbbing terribly, and she gave a low groan of pain, which also emitted from her body back in the forest. "Leave me alone. I just need...some sleep. I'm so close..." Again she felt a paw, but the nudge was harder this time, and as the pain burst through her limbs, she saw the cats turn away from her. The image was gone as if she'd closed her eyes, and all was dark again. Then, she opened them again to see a vibrant forest of green.
Her bright heterochromic eyes were wide with shock, but she looked a bit dazed. In a sort of dizzy way, she looked around to see Darkkit and her mother standing there. Whitekit immediately became aware of what had just happened in one big wave. She'd nearly died. Opening her jaws, she began to cry loudly. Tears fled down her cheeks as she wailed. Whitekit began to drag herself over to her mother, her forepaw dangling disturbingly. "Momma!" She mewled after looking down at her injury, "My paw...I can't feel it!" She began to wail more hysterically, stopping in her efforts to reach the comfort of Goldencloud. She sat there howling and crying, but at least it was now apparent that she was okay.

Goldencloud gave a sigh of relief then curled herself around Whitekit, careful of her paw "Dark-kit, go get Hailstorm, quickly" She didnt want to move Whitekit in case it made her kits injury worse than it already was.

Whitekit's crying grew a bit quieter at the feeling of her mother curling around her, but still she howled. "WAAA!!!" She hiccuped a bit, sniffling and straightening up when she heard herself. She was bawling like a little baby! Biting her lip, she snuffled and tucked her injured paw under her, so nobody could see it. Whitekit tried to appear brave, but her lip was trembling again. "Momma...I'm sorry I ever left camp. I promise, I'll never do it again until I'm an apprentice." Apprentice! The word triggered realization. What if their apprentice ceremony was delayed? And all because of her stupidity! She gave a few small sobs, feeling more tears coming on, but she didn't start back up again because she was firmly biting her lip to stop herself.

Hailstorm didn't need a call. He heared the cry and immedietly came running towards the herb tree as quick as he could. He came bursting into the clearing and stopped dead when he saw Whitekit. "What happened to her?" he didn't even wait for an answer before he started picking some herbs from the tree.
"I'm sorry. It was my fault. I convinced them to leave camp." Dark-kit muttered. He could feel his tears welling up. "Whitekit was trying to convince us not to leave camp and now shes hurt. I'm sorry Whitekit." he said, turning to his sister.

Whitekit sniffed, trying to be brave. "Um...I fell." She mewed, flicking her tail towards the tree. Reluctantly, she took her paw out from under her and showed it's grotesquely dangling figure to her father. Looking at it made her sick though, so she put it back out of sight, which probably wasn't very good for it. [/color][/center]
