Kiss me goodbye {OPEN}

[TABBYCAT ?!]

Firekit opened an eye groggily. She was tired but excited. She was planning on sneaking into another territory. She didn't know why, but she wanted to make some trouble. She flicked her tail and stood up quietly, hoping she wouldn't wake up another kit. She padded out of the entrance and looked left, then right. Then, she turned back and smirked. Kiss me goodbye, kitties, she said, I'm not gonna be back for awhile!

Firekit wandered out of the den. She immediately felt a wash of fear. It was pitch black and she couldn't see much, even with her enhanced eyesight. Cats could see better in the dark, but Firekit panicked in the dark and could not see. She looked around and gulped quietly, taking a second thought of if she should go or not. She looked back at the den, and felt a spark of determination.

She kept walking, her head held high. Her claws crunched against the dirt and twigs on the ground. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach. She felt an exhilaration and began to run, her head in the clouds. Her head was down. Suddenly, she felt her head bump into a somewhat hard surface, knocking it down. She lifted her head immediately.

Uh oh...

The midnight tinted tom casually strolled about in the dark laden night. He yawned lazily and swung his suave tail to each side and back as he walked. Previously in the day, Shadowstrike had participated in the dawn patrol and slept in past sun-high. Consequently, that is what made him awake at this very moment and not slumbering with the rest of the warriors. So instead of just listening to his lucky clan-mates slumber the hours away, Shadowstrike departed for a little nightly venture in hopes of soon obtaining the exhaustion required to slip away into dreamland.

Shadowstrike's mind wandered on what to do while away. Hunting? Just roaming? Shadowstrike's mind was so consumed with these thoughts that he barely even noticed that a petite force had just collided with him and made him even stagger. Alarmed, Shadowstrike instantly glanced down and spotted the young kit who had wide, startled eyes. The black tom let his fur relax, but he immediately got curious. "Firekit?" He inquired. "What'cha doing up so late?"

Firekit sighed and sat on her haunches when she realized she had gotten caught. She was looking forward to an adventure, and now she couldn't go achieve it! She had a disappointed and crushed look on her face, her rose-pink nose twitching slightly. Hi, Shadowstrike... I was just taking a walk... She said quietly, lying obviously. She stood up on her paws and walked in the other direction, her shoulder and back leg hitting into the side of the kit den entrance as she walked in.

Firekit sat down again, her back legs acting like a spring if she wanted to get up. She wanted to, but she refused. She knew her possibilities of getting out of the clan for just one night would be impossible now. She lay down and turned over, sprawling out on the floor. She began to think about what it would be like to escape. Would there be squirrels? Raccoons? Maybe even other cats! Oh, the wonders... What could be out there... She thought, smiling at the entrance, really aiming for it to reach the stars. Astraclan, let me leave! Just once!

Shadowstrike observed in silence as the disappointed kit disappeared back into the den. He just stood there staring at the den entrance Firekit just went through. Shadowstrike knew perfectly well that Firekit was plotting to leave without supervision. Reminds me of my old kit days, Shadowstrike thought to himself. When Shadowstrike was once Shadowkit, he was infamous for escaping and causing trouble whenever and wherever he possibly could. Of course, as he matured, he left his old trickster ways and inherited a new mellow attitude.

With a shake of his head, Shadowstrike came back to the present time. He aimed his way to leave, when an idea popped up in his head. Heh..I'm probably going to get my fur clawed off for this.. Shadowstrike approached the den cautiously so he would not wake anyone else. "Pssst!" Shadowstrike whispered. "Firekit, do you want to roam the territory with me?" She's not exactly escaping, she'll have me with her. Shadowstrike reasoned with himself as he patiently waited for an answer. Anyway, I'll make sure we don't go too far from camp and the most we'll be out is an hour or so. [/blockquote][/blockquote]

Firekit's fiery personality burnt out, feeling disappointed and crushed. She got upset over the smallest things, but losing a chance to explore was one of her worst. She sighed and closed her eyes, hoping she would fall asleep and forget everything; but before she drifted off, she heard a familiar voice call her. It asked if she wanted to explore with the voice; she quickly perked up and raced toward the other cat. She tackled Shadowstrike in a thankful hug and muttered Thank you, thank you, thank you.. into his soft fur. She giggled and detatched from the tom, walking toward the forest with her head held high.

She didn't have an intention of coming back too soon, but she knew that if she had Shadowstrike by her side, or at least 5 feet behind her, Firekit would be okay. Firekit smiled and walked with her tiny paws high above the ground, and her tail swaying above her back. She was confident now, her emotions switched to excited. She still felt that Shadowstrike was behind her, but she looked back just to check.

"Yes, yes." Shadowstrike whispered as Firekit launched herself towards. "But be quiet till we get out of camp. And don't even think about trying to take off without me! Or else I'm bringing you straight back to camp, no second chances." Shadowstrike followed after the as he watched her emotions soar with happiness and glee. He was glad that he could make the little kit's spirits fly instead of crush them like a majority of warriors do. If warriors were as nice as he was and let him out occasionally, Shadowstrike might have not been such a radical troublemaker he was when he was Firekit's age. Shrugging, Shadowstrike continued on.

"So, Firekit, is this your very first nightly venture?" Shadowstrike inquired. The black tom's golden eyes paid sharp attention to where they were and what was around them. Shadowstrike wanted to make sure they didn't accidently stroll along a potentially dangerous place, such as any flowing water or steep hills. He knew that if Firekit received any harm, even to the smallest degree, it'd be his head. But even though the risks, Shadowstrike saw nothing major against letting Firekit out on a peaceful night like this just for a little while. It'd be much better to let the little spirited youngling burn a little energy instead of making her lye restless in a den all night just to keep others up.
