venomstrikeAcid green eyes stared around BrightClan's camp as Venomstrike exited the nursery, her ears tilted back ever so slightly. And right behind her was Rowankit, his black and white coat having small pieces of moss littered into it. Turning her head to look at her surviving son, Venomstrike smiled, and paused. "Why, Rowankit! You look like you're actually growing moss on you! You need to get out more," she joked, walking up to the kit and picking the pieces of moss out of his fur. "Ah, cut it out. I can do it myself," Rowankit said grumpily, scooting away from his mother's paws, and managing to shake out most of the moss that she hadn't touched. Venomstrike looked a little hurt at her son's tone, but the smile returned and she flicked her thin tail behind her slowly. "There is no need for such an attitude, my dear. You act like a badger when you first wake up. Live a little." The queen took a small piece of the moss that had fallen from her son's black and white coat in her paw, then threw it straight at her kit's face. Rowankit, taken by surprise, hissed at the exact moment it came in contact with his face, and got a mouthful. "Ugh! That stuff tastes horrid," he retched, and Venomstrike chuckled at her son's reaction. "Some creatures don't believe so. What would you do if you had to live off of it?" "Its a good thing we're carnivores. I wouldn't eat it." Shaking his head, Rowankit stomped off away from his mother, leaving her to laugh and shake her own head. The tom-kit plopped his rear down near the apprentice den, staring at it. Oh, how he wished he could be an apprentice. They at least didn't have to have their mother in the den.
Mumbling under his breath, Rowankit set off to picking a few more stray pieces of bedding from his coat. Where was everyone today?

gavialkit A darkened face scowled deeply. "I eat your nightmares, brat. Why don't you try my limited choice of cuisine." The voice was oddly harsh, an older and more stiff version of Rowankit. If anyone were to see the black and white tom, one would think he was talking to himself...or they wouldn't suspect that the dark voice was coming from the kitten's direction. No one recognized him, the Black Child, Gavialkit. Though he was Rowankit's dead twin, the shady tom looked older, his fur coarser and wispier at the same time. He was invisible, unheard, ignored unless he snatched up his brother and controlled him...or his brother called upon him for some measly assistant. The shadow clone towered over the young tomkit, frowning. |

rowankit. [/font][/right] "Oh, so now you decide to talk to me," the black and white kit muttered, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly. "And I would pass on that too. Nightmares just don't cut it." Where the anger that had flared up came from, the kitten didn't know, but he did know that his dead twin was getting on his nerves at that exact moment. Flicking his tail, Rowankit pushed himself up, shaking his fur out once more. "Don't you have something else to do than to be here?" Why was his twin bothering him? Looking toward where Gavialkit was, his eyes narrowed ever so slightly. Seriously, this was bugging him. Wasn't someone going to wonder what the kit was doing talking to himself? Rowankit knew no one else could see or hear his brother, and this only slightly worried him.

gavialkit He snorted derisively, flicking his tail and lashing out suddenly in an attempt to nick Rowankit over the ears. "No, actually, did you forget that I'm dead?" Gavialkit said, smiling sardonically and baring shark-like rows of teeth. The white and black tom ran a tongue over a paw that would never get clean or dirty, but stay the same color forever. His soulless eyes suddenly flared, widening up eeriely. "I bet you mother forgot that too, didn't she, that stupid--." He cleared his throat, remembering his "manners". |

VALKYRIEKIT
The brown tabby's eyes slowly opened, revealing the acid green her mother possessed. Of course, hers were a bit lighter, having them just turning the color they were from the light blue most kits had when they were born. She yawned, raising her head from her paws and shoving the small, but sharp teeth she held in her jaws. The kit stood as Rowankit spoke to their mother. Shaking her head, Valkyriekit stood to her paws, shaking out her own pelt, moss falling from the brown onto the next. Stretching her paws out, the kit started forwards, eyes narrowing slightly at her brother's attitude. "What crawled up his rear, this morning?" The brown tabby questioned, glancing towards Venomstrike as her brother stalked away. She let out a breath, shaking her head the the black and white tom. When she looked at her brother, the only thing she could think of was the tom she never met. Glancing up at her mother, she cocked her head. For once, her eyes weren't full of uninterest or uncaring. She was curious about this. "Does Rowankit look like our father? I've heard one of the queens talking about how much he reminds them of our father.." Valkyriekit cocked her head at the queen, before glancing towards her brother again.

rowankit . venomstrike His eyes narrowed into thin slits, as Rowankit stared at his dead twin. "How dare you think that mother forgot about you. How dare you." His words were hissed, and his claws dug into the ground beneath his paws. His golden eyes stared at his twin, half wishing that he would've finished his sentence. Of course, he wanted to know what Gavialkit was going to call his mother. Why wouldn't he?
Flicking her ears at Valkyriekit, Venomstrike merely smiled at her daughter. "What crawled up his butt? Well, he's just a bit peeved that I'm still babying him. Can't help it when you two are the only ones left of the family that your father and I started." She frowned at the thought of Alderthorn, and she glanced down at her paws. Oh, how she missed her mate. They hadn't been together long, yet it seemed as if the two had been together for forever. "And yes, Rowankit does look like Alderthorn. In every aspect possible. Which really does hurt." Could her daughter possibly see how badly this conversation was affecting her? Her ears flicked back, and she looked at her forepaws, which shuffled the ground slightly.

floodgate
[/font][/size][/right] "You make a good mom," came the voice of the fluffy grey warrior as he padded over towards his sister. He still walked with a bit of a limp from when the snowfall had broken his leg, but he was back to sleeping in the warriors den. He smiled slightly, green eyes twinkling, as he pressed his pelt against Venomstrike's. Purring, he took a step back and sat down, looking over the kits. Valkyriekit was asking something, and Floodgate studied his sister's reaction. Was she thinking about Alderthorn again? The tom wanted to wrap his tail around her flank and tell her everything was going to be alright, but something was stopping him. It was guilt, the guilt he felt whenever he thought about Rainbowspirit. Floodgate wanted to tell her everything, but he just couldn't. He knew how Venomstrike would feel if she knew he was seeing a cat from another Clan.
So the tom settled for just sitting next to her, eyes bright as he watched his niece and nephew play. "You've grown! I hope you aren't giving your mother too much trouble," he wriggled his tail in front of Valkyriekit's face, trying to tempt her into playing. The tom turned and pressed his grey muzzle against the side of Venomstrike's face. "You okay?" [/blockquote] |

VALKYRIEKIT Her ears lowered slightly as she heard the pain in her mother's voice, and in her eyes. The kit curled her tail around her paws, about to tell her mother not to speak about Alderthorn if she didn't want to, but when she did, it all came clear. Rowankit was exactly like their father, as was Galviakit before he died. Then there was her, who looked like a mini-version of her mother. Valkyriekit glanced up at the brown tabby, touching her mother's side with her tail softly. "I'm sorry I pried" She murmured, about to get up when her uncle suddenly appeared, making her sigh. Great, just what her, and Venomstrike, needed right now.
Putting on her best face, the brown kitten looked up at Floodgate, trying to smiling, but failing. "Uncle Floodgate" She murmured, staring at his tail as it was waved in front of her. Obviously, he wanted her to play. But didn't he know her by now? Play was for the idiots, not kits like her that looked to other things. She simply flicked her tail back and forth, yawning widely.

venomstrike.[/font][/size] Noticing that her brother appeared, as if out of no where, Venomstrike managed a smile, however pained it may have been. "Why, thank you, Floodgate. I try my hardest to raise the two without anyone else's help." She looked at Valkyriekit with her acid green eyes, as if telling her to be a bit nicer than she appeared, obviously knowing her daughter a lot better. Turning her attention to her brother once more, a purr rumbled in the dappled she-cat's throat. "I am fine, my brother. No need to fret about me. How have you been? You and Fogwolf haven't visited lately, and it has me wondering what trouble you two have been getting into." Despite being a mother, the young she-cat's eyes glittered playfully at her brother, and she pressed her nose to her brother's cheek softly. "Although, I am getting a bit tired of being cooped up in the nursery. Rather be back in the warrior den with you and the rest of the Clan. I can't wait until Valkyriekit and Rowankit become apprentices."

floodgate
[/font][/size][/right] With an exasperated sigh, the grey warrior gave up trying to entice Valkyriekit into a game of tail-pouncing and focused all of his attention on his sisters. She was trying to keep her voice light, but Floodgate could tell she was in pain. He tried not to let on to the fact, his reply cheerful and meaningless. "Me? Aw, c'mon Venomstrike. You know I was in the medicine cat's den. Broke my leg," he told her, a friendly pout overlapping his harsh words. He still remembered Vinepaw's expression when he had told her that he didn't love her as clearly as if it had been yesterday. He had seen her out in the clearing, but they hadn't talked since.
"Trust me," Floodgate looked away from his sister's acid green eyes and back towards the warriors den. Another memory that stained his mind was the one of seeing Alderthorn and Venomstrike together, a flirtatious light in Alderthorn's eyes. He had given him a gruff 'stay-away-from-my-sister', not knowing the tom would leave her like this. "The warriors den isn't all it's cracked up t' be. A coupla nights in there, an' you'll be wishing you were back here with the kits," he promised her.
He turned his attention back to Valkyrekit, though still talking to Venomstrike. "They're growing up fast..."[/blockquote] |

gavialkit A howl of laughter coursed through the thin lips of the ethereal tomcat. "How dare I? How dare I? Oh, you naive little twit..." He shook his head and then snarled, leaning in so that his soulless eyes bored into Rowankit's. The darkness stabbed out like cruel scythes wielded wildly. "Do not presume you know me, Rowankit..." A growl escaped him as he turned, narrowing his eyes toward Valkyriekit. He chuckled hollowly and drifted toward her, Mother, and Floodgate, who he ignored gamely.
"Do you think she feels my presence but is too scared to say anything?" He bared his teeth into that leonine smile again, circling Valkyriekit with a predator's pose. |

VALKYRIEKIT She rolled her light acid green eyes at her mother, yawning again before turning her head, then licking down the ruffled fur on her leg. Her ears angled towards her mother and uncle, then towards Rowankit as he spoke tom himself, or at least, from what she could see. There was no one there. As the brown she-cat stood up to go over, a wind seemed to brush over her, making her body shudder. Valkyriekit shook her head, clearing it, before starting across the camp clearing, sitting down beside her brother.
"Why are you speaking to yourself as if you have someone beside you?" She asked, eyes narrowing slightly as she glanced back towards Venomstrike and Floodgate, rolling her eyes before turning her attention back to Rowankit. Her tail lashed back and forth as Valkyriekit's eyes moved around camp, watching the clan as it went about it's business.
