Windkit yelped and ran quickly away. She ran off the path and hid in the bushes, walking slowly in the bushes, not moving a leaf.

Smokeheart froze."Windkit come back!" He hissed as quietly as possible.

Winekit giggled a little bit, she stuck her head out of the bushes and stuck out her tongue, "Over here!" She called, then ran over to a different spot in the bushes and repeated the process.

"Windkit now! This isn't a joke!" Smokeheart hissed, his fur standing on-end.

Windkit moved back in the line of bushes, so that she was behind Smokeheart, and walked quietly out. She sat behind him, not making a sound. "Why not?" She asked him.

"There's something strange." He replied."Haven't you noticed how the forest is completely silent?" He paused. No bird call reached their ears, not even the scuttle of a mouse in the underbrush.

Windkit shivered at the silence. "Let's go back." She pleaded, suddenly feeling odd.

"Yeah." Smokeheart grabbed Winkit by her scruff and bolted for camp.

Windkit didn't complain as she was carried to camp. She just looked around, very scared at the silence. She looked up at Smokeheart, fear in her eyes.

"Don't worry." He meowed. his voice muffled by the kit's scruff.

Windkit nodded, "Smokeheart, I'm scared." She said, very small. She didn't usually admit to these sort of things.

"I know, but your safe." Smokeheart reasured the small kit. He rounded a bend and found a strange cat, sniffing around the bushes.

Windkit froze in terror, not making a sound. Her eyes widened, and she wouldn't have been able to move if she had wanted to.

Smokeheart dropped the kit and stood infront of her. He snarled at the enemy cat. The cat looked up, startled. It had a thin rope around it's neck and a small nut that tinkled when it moved."A Kittypet." Smokeheart hissed.

Windkit remained frozen, staring into the eyes of the Kittypet. She gulped in terror. She watched Smokeheart, wondering what he would do.
