The she-cat began to feel the strength and energy that a full meal offered to a starving cat. She let her head rise for a moment and thanked StarClan for blessing her and her Clan.
"Your mother is right; we shouldn't yell in the nursery." Silvermask scolded in between bites of her fish. "Think of all the younger kits and the mothers who need rest. Don't you think they deserve a bit of peace and quiet in their den?" Her green orbs gazed over the resting bodies in the nursery, hoping that the kits and queens weren't disturbed by the loud voices and chatter. It seemed that all was fine, however. Queens were used to all of the loud noise that came from the nursery. Newborn kits always mewled loudly while the older kits created a bunch of ruckus from their games and laughter.
Looking back to her company, Silvermask noticed Snakebite seemed lost in thought. "Have you gotten a chance to leave the den and stretch your legs today?" The silver tabby asked, trying to bring her friend back to reality. |
"Yes, DarkStorm and I went out for a hunt. It was nice to go for a swim again, brings back old memories." responded SnakeBite. She couldn't help but think of when she was an apprentice, her old mentor LongStrike taught her how to swim without the fish even noticing. She hoped she could mentor one of her kits, she believed that she would snap back to a warrior life style in a second, but she wasn't sure if Russetstar did. "Hey, do you want to go for a fish hunt by the river tomorrow?" SnakeBite asked SilverMask, trying to ease the tension. " We haven't gone on a hunt together in what feels like 20 moons!" she added.
