Trick ran her tongue across her forearm, her back stretching in an
arc. Her ear swiveled to where Ginger had scrambled off, her eyes
glistening as she targeted the kit. Having slightly longer legs,
Trick was easily able to dash up to the kit. She ran her tail along
Ginger's spine and sprinted away to safety.
--------
Rye opened his mouth as if he were to speak, but Blaze cut him to
the chase. "Get out of here, Rye. Before I make sure those legs of
yours never work again." He growled softly, rising and turning
around.
"Oh, and Rye? If you come near us again, you're not going to make
it back out alive," she said coolly, her ear swiveling. He watched
Sakura prance around the fields as he exited, and Blaze felt the
need to gouge his eyes out; she just watched.
Ginger tensed up out of being a bit surprised at being tagged and
Tricks tail going up her spine, causing her to fluff up and go
tumbling head over tail.
once she came to a stop she just sat where she was, momentarily
stunned before she looked at Trick and pouted, but got up and went
running after her sister who had been near her.
Hazel's eye's widened and she went scrambling the other way, her
tail fur suddenly puffing up
~~~~~
Silver growled quietly and her fur along her back went up and her
tail puffed up.
''i should have clawed one of his eye's out.....'' she grumbled,
flicking her fluffed up tail out of irritation.
Trick chortled at the sight of the younger kits, taking shelter
near her siblings. "I don't know why you're staying so close to
us," Sakura said, "We're going to double-cross you the first chance
we get." With that she purred and batted her sister's ear, bolting
off to the other side of the field.
---------
"I wish," Blaze murmured, sighing. I do hope we won't have to
relocate, though... It'd just be too much of a hassle with that
kits.
soon enough Hazel was the one having to chase while Ginger and
Thistle both ran away from her.
Hawk had drifted off into dreamland after some time and was snoring
softly in his sleep.
~~~~~
''i'm already stressed out and upset enough about loosing Thorn a
few moons after he was born... and Thistle had to be the one to
discover his twin in the state he was after he passed on...... i
don't want to loose Thistle, Hazel, or Ginger.... and i don't want
you having to go through the same grief Blaze...'' Silver muttered.
Trick only rolled her eyes and turned to Jinx, "I'm tagging Hawk
the next chance I get," she meowed, her tail swishing playfully.
Jinx's eyes widened, "He'll kill you!"
"Yeah, right. Mother says that he just acts like that to be
intimidating," she said, poking her brother's shoulder
informatively.
----------------
Blaze sighed again, hanging her head. "You don't need to be
worrying about your other kits. I know it's hard not to, but...
we're all protecting them with our lives. Promise. There isn't
anything that's going to happen to them on our watch," she said.
''i'm not that cruel... but i will give ya a good whack across the
head whether your my kit or not..'' Hawk murmured drowsily, yet
loud enough for Trick and Jinx to hear since he wasn't fully asleep
yet, only dozing off enough to where he seemed asleep, but was
still slightly awake and aware of what was going on around him.
~~~~~
''heh.... with our luck Blaze old pal, you'd jinx it and
something'll happen....... that always seems to happen with us..''
Silver muttered, chuckling quietly.
Both of the kits yelped and scrambled farther away from him.
---
Blaze broke into a laugh, her tail flickering. "You're probably
right. But we can enjoy the peace while we have it," she said,
flopping onto her side.
Blaze exhaled sharply, watching the kits bound across the field.
"Yeah. I never really got the chance to," she said, yawning and
burying her chin in her paws.
Blaze only shrugged. "I doubt we could find that place again,
anyways... and it's a bit unstable to live in, don't you think? I
never liked having to ward off strangers every two days," she
murmured. There was only a small part of her that missed the
original fields, but she dismissed it as missing a fight.
''you do have a point.... and no one's come around here so far, so
maybe here is somewhat safe for now....'' Silver muttered, curling
her tail around her paws.
The she-cat gave a small, breathy laugh. "You're right, Silver.
We're going to end up jinxing ourselves." She turned her head,
still resting on her paws, to her friend. Her ear swiveled at the
yowls of one of their kits from being tagged and her eyes sparkled
a bit. "I never thought we'd get a break, to be honest."
''sometimes fate universe can give you a break every once in a
while, which is nice'' she said, watching as her three kits went
and hid so the wouldn't get tagged again, which meant they hid next
to they're sleeping father.
Blaze watched with a small sense of pride as Jinx caught their
scent, silently crouching under the nearest rock to Hawk. He
pounced forward--a bit sloppily, in Blaze's opinion--and nuzzled
Thistle, tumbling on his back as he did so. He snapped to his feet
again, sprinting away.
''no fair!! this is a safe spot!'' Thistle whined.
soon his sisters chimed in and agreed that the rock they were on
with they're father was a safe spot.
Silver laughed quietly and purred happily.
''such innocent little bundles of fluff...'' she mumbled.
Jinx rolled his eyes, trotting over again. "Cheaters," he grumbled,
swiftly taking Hazel by the scruff and lightly setting her on the
ground right off the rock. Blaze chuckled, her tail swaying in
agreement.
Hazel hissed and batted at his face, poking him multiple times with
her needle like claws.
''your the cheater! your bigger then me and my siblings!!'' she
spat.
''whereas my little Hazelnut can talk all big and bad like a normal
she cat.... i swear she's got more intellect for such a young kit,
all three of them'' Silver said.
