Chapter 3

(This one is NOT written in first person!)

Willowkit, Destinykit, and Gingerkit padded alone through the forest, Destinykit and Gingerkit occasionally tussling. Swirlleaf was busy, talking with Fernpool, and had told them to walk in one direction until they found the abandoned two-leg path, then come back. "We've been here before." Willowkit meowed to the others. Ginger snorted with laughter. "Oh, yes, I remember seeing that stone before, and that blade of grass is oddly familiar." Destinykit fell on the ground with laughter. "Im serious, you two! I really think were lost! I can scent that we've been her before, but not whick direction we went!" Destinykit stopped laughing, and got up, a worried look on his face. He scented the ground. "This entire clearing is filled with our scent!" Gingerkit also scented. "This stinks." she meowed bitterly. Willowkit and Destinykit nodded their agreement. "For sure." Destinykit brighted. "Well, than we just have to wait! Swirlleaf and Fernpool will come and find us! They've got to!" Willowkit nodded. "That seems right." Gingerkit smiled, and being smart enough to change the subject, asked, "What do you want your warrior names to be?" Willowkit cocked her head. "I want to be a Medicene Cat, like Swirlleaf and Fernpool. But I still want to have an awesome name, like Willowbreeze." Destinykit smiled. "Are you sure? I think you'd be more of a Willowfall. After all, you're so clumsy." Willowkit jumped on him. "Oh, shut up, you mousebrain!" she said laughingly. "Well, I want to Gingerhawk." Gingerkit meowed, puffing her chest out. "Well, I want to be Destinyclaw." Destinykit meowed happily. "Well, Well, lets see how sharp those claw really are." An old, battle scarred tom walked out of the woods near them. "The name's Gruff. What are you doing on my territory?" Willowkit sqeaked in surprise. "We cant leave! Our mother is looking for us!" Gruff growled, "I dont care. Off my territory NOW." Destinykit turned to face the old tom, fluffed up to twice his normal size. "No. We are going to wait for my mom." Gruff growled, and scooped the young tom up in his claws. Destinykit squealed in surprise as he was thrown against a tree. He leapt back to his feet, and all three of the kits faced the tom. "We dont want any trouble." Gingerkit meowed. "Well, you dont always get what you want, now do you?" Gruff answered. Gingerkit leaped on the tom, clawing his face. Willowkit fallowed, and landed on his back. Destinykit bit down on his leg. Gruff picked up Willowkit by the scruff, and began beating her against the ground, anything to get those blasted kits off him! Destinykit and Gingerkit screeched, and began doing everything they clould to make Gruff let go of Willowkit. The fight went on and on, Willowkit always hanging limp in Gruff's jaws. Finnally, Gingerkit attacked Gruff's neck while Destinykit attacked the other side, and Gruff dropped WIllowkit. "Just get off my territory." he spat, and Gingerkit and Destinykit wasted no time hoisting Willowkit on their backs and scampering away.

Soon after, when the two kit we're sure they we far enough away, Gingerkit and Destinykit put Willowkit down. Her breathing was harsh and labored. "It wont be long now." Destinykit meowed knowingly. Gingerkit nodded sullenly. Later that night, Willowkit died as Gingerkit and Destinykit licked her face.
