      Violetkit was watching her mother very carefully, staying utterly silent as Speckleleaf chattered on and on to another queen, a black she-cat with round green eyes. Sure that her mother was deep in conversation, Violetkit took a wide step towards the entrance to the nursery, then another. This is so easy! She thought as she easily slipped past her mother and the other queens.

      Greenleaf had just arrived and the camp was thriving all around. The freshkill pile was fully stocked with hares, lizards and mice. Violetkit's mouth began to water at the sight of the plump, juicy meat, and she started towards the pile, her violet eyes huge. Before she could reach it, however, her attention was diverted to three apprentices coming in from their morning training session. They walked in a cluster, laughing and talking as if they hadn't a care in the world. Intrigued, Violetkit ran up to them, skidding to halt in front of their paws.

      "Hi! My name's Violetkit. You guys look like you just came back from apprentice training!" She cried, enunciating the word training as if it was a magical, all-mighty thing. She stared at the three older cats, her eyes wide and curious.

      "Right you are, little kit. By the looks of you, you're almost ready to be an apprentice, just like us!"  One said, a brindle and white tom with large gray eyes. "It's nice to meet you Violetkit. I'm Brindlepaw, this is my sister Pepperpaw, and the silly looking one over here is my brother, Cinderpaw." Violetkit puffed up with pride at Brindlepaw's comment, jutting out her small chin.

      "Right you are about me, Brindlepaw! I'm four moons old. Just two more till I'm an apprentice!" Violetkit was getting so excited about her apprenticeship. Out in the world, just like everyone else!
      
      "Don't get too excited, kit. I think I hear the elders calling. " The tom called Cinderpaw groaned, closing his amber eyes. Sighing, the apprentices turned away, heading for the elder's den. Brindlepaw looked back at Violetkit and shouted, "Great to meet you Violetkit!"

      Violetkit grinned delightedly. "See you when I'm an apprentice!" She waved a paw to the departing three.
"I hope I'm just as cool as them when I'm an apprentice. Especially Brindlepaw."  As she daydreamed, she barely noticed where she was going until she ran straight into a wall of black fur. She looked up, shocked, only to have her eyes met by a pair of striking blue ones. "Dad!" She cried, half pleased and half surprised.

      Duskfall smiled down at his kit in an exasperated way, shaking his head a bit. "Did Mum say you could leave the nursery?" He asked, gently prodding Violetkit with his paw.

      Violetkit thought for a moment, then mumbled, "She never said I couldn't…" Violetkit stared at her paws, hoping her dad wasn't going to reprimand her, right out in the clearing.  Instead, he began to laugh, a loud, rhythmic sound that rumbled up from his chest. Why is he laughing? Violetkit thought, panicking.

      "You're just like I was at your age. Come on, I won't tell her. But you do need to get back to the nursery." They walked back to the nursery side by side, their black pelts brushing. Violetkit was thankful her dad was so laidback; she knew many parents would have been furious. Too soon they arrived at the entrance, and Violetkit reached up to lick her dad's cheek. Crouching down, she waited for the signal.

      "Speckleleaf!" Duskfall called. As the beautiful dappled pelt of her mother came into view, Violetkit shot through her legs, tumbling into her nest with a soft thud. She breathed a sigh of relief. Mission accomplished!
This is my fourth mission for :iconwarriosofdreams:. The mission was to describe an adventure around camp. I'm Beginning to love Violetkit so much. :)
Hope you enjoy!
