Ashkit was curled up nicely in his bedding. RunningMouse was there with him, he was forced to be with RunningMouse. Just because he was his father didn't mean he had to acknowledge that. Ashkit got up and stretched, he was still pretty small. Just a 4 moon old kit.
He trotted out the nursery.
"Where are you going?" A weak voice whispered to him.
Ashkit clenched his teeth, "To find a better father," He always said that. It didn't matter who asked, the first time RunningMouse had forced him into a long conversation. After that, the other cats rolled their eyes and RunningMouse didn't look at him.
"You must stop this pointless rebellious stage Ashkit it will only get you into more trouble, one of the other omegas chided. Ashkit just ignored her and speeded our before she could continue.

The VolcanoClan camp was as dead as ever. Dead trees and logs were dotted around the area, but the forest was recovering from whatever had happened to destroy it. MountainStar was standing atop his perch on one giant log and was observing battle training in the center of camp. Ashkit walked over to watch.

BadgerScar was pitted against HawkStrike, an even match. Ashkit watched carefully, he wanted to be amazing at fighting before coming apprentice. If I'm good, they'll have to make me a warrior!

The two circled each other, waiting for the other to pounce. Ashkit knew it would be HawkStrike, he'd watched them fight so many times. But this time, BadgerScar leaped at his opponent, catching him off guard. HawkStrike countered by getting up on his hind legs and slashing at his face.

Ashkit attempted to mimic the move. He pushed himself up on his hind legs and slashed his right paws at the air. He repeated the move until thought he got it down. Then turned back to the fight.

HawkStrike was on top of BadgerScar, trying to pin him down. But BadgerScar had bunched up his muscles and was crouching beneath him. In one solid move, he threw HawkStrike off by jumping into the air.

Again Ashkit tried to copy it, crouching down then leaping into the air.
"Practicing moves? Here, let me help," A voice from behind him said then someone slammed into his back. Ashkit was crouching beneath Firekit. The large kit's weight making him tremble, "What? I thought you had these moves down!" Firekit unsheathed his claws but it didn't draw blood.

"Get off me! Ashkit squeaked," The drama had caught the kits and apprentices attention. Tanpaw and Glarekit watched at his side.

"Come on Ashkit show us those cool moves!" Tanpaw mewed.

"I...I just," Ashkit tried pushing upward but all he did was rock Firekit. He tried again, pushing up from the ground. His legs ached. Ashkit dug his claws into the ground.

"You what?" Glarekit asked, sounding genuinely curious.

Ashkit paused a moment, she's not mocking me?  But his thoughts were interrupted by a shadow casting over them, followed by a weak voice, "G-Get off of him."

Ashkit couldn't see him directly, but he recognize the very stench of him. RunningMouse.

"What did you just say to me?" Firekit questioned.

"Um..I..I just asked if..if you would get off of him," RunningMouse stuttered. Shaking wildly with fear, he backed up a little.

"Go away RunningMouse!" Ashpaw squeaked before Firepaw shoved his head in the dirt.

Firepaw looked at the kits and back at RunningMouse, "Are your for real? Fine, yeah, sure I'll get off him. If you do a little something for me," RunningMouse swallowed and nodded. Firepaw flicked his tail with pride in his decision, "Challenge HawkStrike to a fight,"

RunningMouse shivered furiously, "Ch-ch-cha..cha-challenge Ha-HawkStrive t-to a fi-ight?"
The little ginger devil nodded and RunningMouse turned towards the warrior. His broad shoulders and muscular body showed well through HawkStrike's pelt. RunningMouse crept over to him, his body sagging. HawkStrike has finished his battle with BadgerScar when he noticed the little cat, he grimaced and nodded to the left of him, "Fresh Moss is that way omega!"
RunningMouse stood a bit taller, but let his ears and tail slump in their states of submission, "I...I want to challenge y-you to a fight,"
HawkStrike just stared at him for a minute then burst into morrows of laughter, "For what?"
"Uh..uh..just face me—c-c-cow-ard" RunningMouse stuttered making his claim of power even less convincing. Cats around them just went about their business and MountainStar didn't even seem to care, but HawkStrike laughed and laughed until he looked closer at RunningMouse who obviously didn't want to do this.
He grunted and looked around, "Firekit! Leave the old cat alone, and get off Ashkit. He's not worth your time!"
Firekit did exactly as told and RunningMouse did as usual and ran away. Everyone knew HawkStrike was to be Firekit's mentor, so he had to give a good first impression Ashkit guessed as Firekit slowly stepped off of him.
"Your lucky omega kit! Next time, I shove you into the ground so you can hide, like a little mouse," Firekit strutted away with fluffed our chest fur, where Glarekit followed behind.

It was just Ashkit and Tanpaw left in the clearing now. Tanpaw stared at Ashkit with squinted eyes, "Scram kit! You're not worth my time!"
Ashkit slowly walked away, what a wonderful day I'm having! All will be better soon. That's when he remembered next weeks grand events, in a week I'll be an apprentice, nothing will stop me then.
