E.scaping

[pixie daaarling =3]

Ashkit rolled uncomfortably in the Nursery. His eyes glared at the exit. This is my chance!! To leave this boring old den. Quietly he got up and lept out out into the cold night. Ashkit shivered. He padded a few steps expecting a warrior to jump out of the bush and yell at him; 'Get back into the Nursery!! Your going to freeze!'. But no warrior came. Ashkit saw the entrance, leading outside onto RiverClan territory. His fur bristled in excitement. He slipped out of the camp.
I'm out! he thought overly proud. He walked over to the river. Dipping his head, he felt the cool water on his nose. Ashkit walked on. His black pelt almost shone silver. He started to become sleepy, but he didn't want to go back to camp. He sat on a clump of flattened reeds.
"I'm going to watch RiverClan. And then I'll fight off the intruders. Then everyone will love me, and when my father is leader, I'll be deputy." Ashkit mewed arrogantly to himself.

[grayfur]

"RR," grayfur snarled as he watched Ashkit leave the den. His som was always getting into all kinds of trouble. He rolled his eyes angrily. Striding over to Ashkit, he lifted his paw to bop him on the head.

"What are you doing?" he hissed, spitting saliva all over his son. He sneered and pushed Ashy gently. it wasn't his fault he was in such a bad mood. Axel, he thought with hatred.

Ashkit snarled at his father.
"I just wanted to get out of the stupid old den!! I hate it in there! Why can't I sleep with you in the warriors den? Why can't I be an a apprentice? I want to be your apprentice! The deputy's apprentice!" the small tom spat out questions one after the next. He turned away from his father.
"I'm going to patrol the borders. Ashkit mewed head and tail high.

[grayfur]

Grayfur sighed. His sleet gray tail twitched in annoyance, and his dark blue eyes tore deep into his son's soul. He could be so annoying at times. he spat at Ashy and pushed his out of the way.

"You know I can't do that," he said. "I already have an apprentice." he glanced at Ashy, who was moving away. He sneered and hooked him with is claw. Shoving his face against his, he said deeply, "No you're not."

[pixie daaarling =3]

Ashkit struggled from his father's claw.
"Yes I am!"Ashkit spat. He kept walking further. Furiously, he turned on his paws and back to his father.
"How much longer? How much longer until I can make the Clan like me?!? I just wanna be a part of this Clan! It's hard when everyone hates me." Ashkit cried in fury. He shivered more visibly now. The cold night air chilled him to his bones. Ashkit kept his tail around his paws, in fear that they would freeze. He looked right into his father's eyes.
Why can't I follow your footsteps? Everyone loves you...

[grayfur]

Sympathy panged at Graystar's soul. His son was the least liked kit of RiverClan, everyone knew it. But Grayfur loved Ashy very much, almost too much. He knew how hard Ashkit had worked, and he had passed the apprentice boundary. At 6and a half moons, he should be having his apprentice ceremony.

"Tell ya what," grayfur whispered, "I'll talk to Clo about making you an apprentice today." He smiled, hoping it would lift his sons spirits.

[pixie daaarling =3]

"A-an a-apprentice? TODAY!?!?! Ashkit screamed in delight. The kit's fur pricked with exicetment.
"Will they like me when im an apprentice?" Ashkit asked suddenly. His hopes held high, waiting for an answer.

[grayfur]

Grayfur nuzzled his son. "I'm sure they will. Better than they like me." he stared up at the night sky. So many stars. So many deaths. Maybe it's my time, gray muttered silently to himself. He hung his head low, staring at the pond infront of him. he saw another cat in the water. A sad, gray cat. he look upset. Gray peered closer, and the figure changed. it truned into a battle scarred red tom with a fiery mane and meeral dgreen eyes.

"She hates you," the tom sputtered. "I'll be deputy. You just wait." The figure dissapeared, leaving gray quite confused.

[pixie daaarling =3]

Ashkit bouncedback happily to camp. Not noticing his father glaring into the water glumly. The sun was just coming out. The dawn patrol would be coming out soon.
"When the dawn patrols come out i'm going to join them!! I'm almost an apprentice now!! TODAY!!!" Ashkit sat by the river up ahead. The rising sun beamed brightly. Ashkit was so happy. He didn't think anything would ruin his mood.

[grayfur]

Grayfur continued to stare in the water, ingnoring his son. Why did I lose you? he though. he and clo... were perfect. then that stupic axel had to ruin everything.


He looked up. "Ashy," he mumbled. He glanced at his sons coal black paws. "Ashy..." he muttered again. "I'll talk to clo, m'kay?"

gray was not in the mood for his sons rude remarks and playful threats. He just sighed. You'll never become me, he thought. "I swear."

[pixie daaarling =3]

Ashkit heard his father but didn't reply.
I'm going to go tell Minnowkit! he thought joyfully.
"Father i'm going back to camp. Look at whatever amazing thing is in the water. Come back when your done!!" Ashkit called over his shoulder as he ran back to RiverClan camp. Whatever his father was doing in the water, it was boring. His father could be very boring. That's why he loved Minnowkit though. She was always aventurous and had something to do.

[grayfur]

grayfur looked away. "yeah, go do that," he muttered. He watched his son bound off, his hear heavy with despair. A strange sight jogged his memory.

he was splashing in the water as a small kit. it was so much fun, small water roplets were verywhere. His brother, icymask was right next to him, splashing water in his face.

The next thing gray knew he was sprawled on the ground. His brother Icy was dead, red liquid seeping from his fur.

Gray woke up startled. An event of his childhood often happened as he thought alot. he shook his head clear.
