SCORPIONKIT
It was a rainy afternoon, and clouds covered the sky outside the nursery. Scorpionkit, however, hadn't known this, since he was shut inside the milk-scented den with his family. His amber eyes scanned the den for something to do. His mother was tending to his smaller siblings, which were mewling helplessly for food. Wait a second- Scorpionkit counted only four kits surrounding his mother. As he searched for his lookalike sister, he found Mantiskit was lying only a few mouse lengths from him, sprawled out on the moss with her stomach up. Could it possibly be any better of a chance to pounce?
As he thought of how to approach her without snapping her into realization that he was about to leap onto her, his mother looked up at him. Making eye contact with the rusty she-cat's golden eyes, he thought he saw a stifled nod- but it was probably just a trick of the misty light. Returning his focus to the brown and black tabby in front of him, he gave a soft growl before he adjusted himself.
Scorpionkit's round eyes narrowed playfully, getting into a pouncing position. Easy, he thought, she won't even see me coming. He leapt onto his sister, stirring her suddenly as he grinned triumphantly. He had obviously won the battle, however it was uncertain if he had won the war. Five pairs of eyes drifted sleepily towards the two kits, and they seemed to simultaneously roll as if saying "You idiots, what have you done now?"
