“Come on, quick paws now Pepperkit, Papayakit, Bisonkit.”
Pitter patters of small kitten paws rushed to keep up with the confident strides of creamy molly, who was already running late. Getting out of her nest and way from her large, constantly hungry kittens was a relief to get a break. Peahcblossom might have raised her other two litters but she didn't have to constantly be around them for feedings, she really admired the other queens who did this constantly. She knew her babies were safe with their father back in Thunderclan camp but she couldn't help but feel her nerves prickling at her paws.
Her concerns for her newest litter was soon replaced when the mawls of her son, Bisonkit, pierced her ears.
“Momma! Momma, my paws hurt!” His voice was loud and squeaky as it rang through the forest. Peachblossom couldn't help but giggle softly at her son, this was their first time leaving the camp and walking such a long way, she couldn't blame them for feeling a bit tired after walking for so long. Pulling her son closer to her, she nuzzled the tom of his head, “I know my sweet but I promise we are almost there. We can take a break in just a few moments.”
Bisonkit wiped away his tears, sniffling as he tried to fight back his urge to argue with Peachblossom more, but this was his decision to come along with the others. Peachblossom had told the kits she was going to be taking Pepperkit and Papayakit to the border to meet up with Ravenkit. Bisonkit missed his half brother and wanted to get a chance to play with him again.
As they grew closer to the border two silhouettes appeared in front of them, which gradually turn into the small black tom kit Ravenkit and the beautiful Mercuryrose. “Take a look over there kits, it looks like the others made it to the border before us.” Peachblossom large fluffy tail lifted into the air as it waved in greeting to the Shadowclan queen. The Thunderclan healer had grown quite close to the Shadowclan feline, not only being there by her side when she gave birth but also spending most of the time laying in the nursery by Mercuryrose side so the kittens would get use to both of the mollys. Watching her kittens rush towards the border warmed Peachblossoms heart, they were so excited to see their brother.
“Ravenkit!” Bisonkit small paws lifted from the forest floor as he bounced towards the black tom kit. The small brown kit only showed a bit of hesitation when he was faced with the very clear Shadowclan border. He was always told the borders were not physical items that indicated where to stop but he never could understand how you could tell where to stop; Now here he was and while they were right it wasn't a physical thing, the scents were so different and so strong it felt like he was being stop by an invisible wall. A small whimper left the kit's mouth as he looked back towards Peachblossom, looking for approval before crossing. After receiving an encouraging smile and nod from his mother Bisonkit took a deep breath trying to mentally prepare. Taking a moment to look over at the other molly, "Hello Miss Mercury". The moment his paws crossed over the invisible border all of Bisonkits worries floated away, leaping towards Ravenkit throwing his body against the Shadowclan kit. “I missed you so much Ravenkit!”
“You look as beautiful as always Mercuryrose.” Peachblossom stepped without worry over to Shadowclan, thankfully as a medicine cat she was able to cross without having issues due to her title. The healer offered Mercuryrose a small friendly headbutt, she didn't realize how close she had grown to the black and golden cat but yet here she was acting as if they had been friends her whole life. “I hope you two are doing well in Shadowclan. We miss you over in Thunderclan.” Interrupting the two tom kits wrestling on the forest floor, her paw scooped up the black tom kit. “Raven my brave little warrior I hope you’ve been behaving in Shadowclan.” Her purrs loudly accompany her words.
