'I'm so bored....'

Hollykit was huddled in a corner of the nursery fiddling with a leaf. On the other other side of the nursery, there was a red and white she-cat grooming her belly and not even giving a glance to the kit. Hollykit let out a loud groan to try and get the she-cats attention, but all the cat did was twitch her ear.

Hollykit rolled her green eyes and flopped on her back, leaving the leaf alone for the moment. 'Stupid Nightkit...' she thought to herself angrily.

Nightkit had played out in the rain when there mother, Echoblaze, wasn't paying attention. He got himself whitecough and stuck in the medicine den for a couple days. Echoblaze and Ravenclaw refuse to leave her brothers side in case he somehow passes from it or becomes greencough. Roseshade is supposed to be watching her, which shouldn't be hard since she's the only kit in the nursery at the moment, but seems more interested in grooming her belly which was swollen with her future den mates.

Hollykit perked up her ears at the sound of a patrol coming back into camp. And by the sound of it, it looks like her former denmates Palepaw and Birdpaw were in there too!

She turned to Roseshade "Roseshade, can I go talk to Palepaw and Birdpaw? I promise all go straight back to the nursery afterwards" Roseshade turned to the kit and looked around a bit before sighing

"I guess so. There isn't much you can do in here, and I can't play with you right now. Just don't go too far!" Roseshade called as Hollykit was running towards the two apprentices

Hollykit looked up at the two older cats excitedly. She hasn't see or talked to them since they become apprentices! And she had to talk to the most quietest she-cats in the forest. Shyki- Er....Shypaw now. And Petalkit. Shypaw became a medicine cat apprentice not too long ago, which left her with her brother and Petalkit. and Petalkit was....'I guess my foster sister?' Hollykit thought for a second. She born a half-moon ago while Petalwing was giving birth, but Grayfur came back with the kit only and spoke with Echoblaze quietly. Petalwing didn't return, so Petalkit stuck with me and Nightkit.

She was interrupted from her thoughts when she heard "Hey Hollykit!"

It was Palepaw. Her and her brother walked over to them. "How's it going being cooped up in the nursery?" Birdpaw asked.

Hollykit groaned "Horrible! There's no cat at all who's even willing to play. And Roseshade refused to let me leave it."

Palepaw laughed "sounds like a bad time. Do you want to learn some battle moves from Mothpaw? He's getting his warrior assessment in a couple days. Me and Birdpaw will soon have the apprentices den all to ourselves soon" she sighed sadly "I'm gonna miss him..."

Birdpaw and Hollykit rolled there eyes. 'No way all ever act as love sick as Palepaw.'  Hollykit thought to herself.

Before the kit could decline, Palepaw was already nudging her towards Mothpaw.

Mothpaw was eating a tiny shrew near by, and perked up at the sight of Palepaw. "Hey Palepaw! What are you doing with....Hollykit and Birdpaw?" Mothpaws fur bristled slightly when saying her Birdpaws name, but Palepaw showed no sign of noticing

"We'll, Inwas hoping you'd teach us three some of the advanced moves your learning. You know, before your warrior" Palepaw said cheerfully.

Mothpaw grimaced slightly, but nodded none the less. "Of course. Anything for you Palepaw." He then looked towards Hollykit before adding "it's probably going to take a while longer. Since we have......cats with no training."

Hollykits fur bristled slightly, and was about to retort, but stopped herself. 'Palepaw is here. I don't think she'd like me saying saying anything bad about her supposed future mate' she let out a tiny groan and looked away

Mothpaw flicked his tail when he got no reply and went into a crouch "Hollykit, this a basic hunting crouch. To start you off." Hollykit followed what he was doing.

Mothpaw immediately got back up and hissed, "No! Your doing it all wrong!" Hollykit let out a squeak as the golden tom nudged her up slightly. He did the same with her tail.

"Well sorry, I was just copying your demonstration..." the kit muttered under her breath. 'I wish to starclan that his apprentice gives him a hard time...'

Mothpaw nodded and went into another hunting crouch "let's see if you can do it right this time"

"Birchshade, I want you to lead a patrol up to- Oh my starclan Mothpaw! Is that what you call a hunting crouch? Your assessment is in a couple days, I expect your tail to not be sticking up."

Grayfur quickly said some words to Birchshade, and walked over to his apprentice. "Is this your way of teaching the younger cats to hunt? Maybe if you want to teach a cat how to stalk prey, try to teach Skyshade. I'm sure she'd love to be taught by you. And while your at it, clean the nursery bedding." Mothpaw winced, but nodded. He sulkily walked towards the nursery with Palepaw right behind him.

'Probably to comfort him for his failure.' While Grayfur was here, Birdpaw asked if he could join a patrol. I decided to wander back to the nursery to see if I could something else.

While she was heading back, a holly flew over her head and towards the camp entrance. she didn't notice it at first, and continued walking. What really caught her attention was when the split apart. Both sides going opposite direction.

One side was still heading towards the camp entrance. while the other, was heading back into camp. Suddenly the cat heard a gasp from behind her. Hollykit turned her head and saw the medicine cat apprentice, Shypaw.

Shypaws silver tabby fur was straight up and her eyes were wide. She looked towards Hollykit and the two departing leaves multiple times before running towards the medicine den, muttering something about "omens" under her breath.

Hollykit looked back in fourth a little before a thought struck her mind 'what in starclan just happened?!'
