In this case, hyper isn't good ...

[✲Mythwĭng✲]

Amberkit bounced around camp, feeling even crazier then ever.
"What have you been eating, Amber?" Mythwing called to the tiny kit.
"I had some mouse at dawn!" Amberkit replied
Mythwing rolled her eyes, "It was a rhetorical question, silly!"
Amberkit skidded to a halt, "Huh?!? Wha-?"
"... don't worry ..." the EchoClan leader sighed, "how about you go out into the clearing and run around? Then you won't be in anybodies' way ..."
"OK!" Amberkit bolted out of the cave and into the camp clearing, "whoaaah!" She crashed into the camp barrer. She squeaked as she heaved herself out of the spiky barrier. Luckily, no thorns had dug into her pelt. Amberkit gave herself a good shake, sending leaves and twigs into the dust.
The white kit took a deep breath. An unfamiliar scent filled her mouth.

Cloud crept into the camp... Closer, Closer... "Eeee-shhh" Cloud had completely forgotten that she was trying to stay quiet... but she ran into a wall of thorns... that was surrounding the camp! Smart cats!
Cloud tried to find a hole somewhere in the barrier, but it was just too good... She just had to dig a little hole, without pricking herself to much. She trotted quietly back over to the spot that the little hyper-active kit was, and dug a small hole in the thorns, without pricking herself to much. As soon as the hole was big enough, Cloud stuck her tale into the hole and flicked it back and forth... it was quite tantalizing...

[✲Mythwĭng✲]

"OOooOOOoh!" Amberkit squeaked playfully, "Wazzat?" She fell into a hunting crouch and began to creep forward. She wiggled her hauches back-and-forth ... then pounced on the ... thing. To Amberkit, it looked like an extremely fluffy white feather. She dug her claws into the 'feather' and began to nibble on it.

[☆ Iceleaf ☆]

"Sch... Ouch?" Cloud sighed under her breath... She tugged on her tail lightly, so that the kit would follow it, and she pulled it through the hole, then realized that she has poppy seeds stuck in-between her toes and though of a plan... "Yes... that will work puurrfectly" Cloud purred...

[✲Mythwĭng✲]

Amberkit followed the fluffy feather as it trailed along the ground. It blew through a hole under the thorn barrier and ... Amberkit looked up to see a fluffy white cat, just like her, except with blue eyes.
"Huh?" Amberkit squeaked, "who are you? ... where's that cool feath- ..." she trailed off. Amberkit had spotted the strange new cat's plume of a tail, 'Your tail was the feather!" she exclaimed, "cool!"

[☆ Iceleaf ☆]

Maybe I wont have to knock her out after all... what a shame... Oh well. "Umm... Yes! My tail is the fluffy thing! Hay! Do you want to play a game?! I know a really fun game! So, what do you say?!" Cloud crouched in the leaves and put her tail up in the air and waved it around a little, like a feather caught in the breeze...

[✲Mythwĭng✲]

Amberkit squealed with joy. She stood on her hind legs, swayed whilst trying to catch her balance, then kicked out. She flung herself off the ground and over the she-cat. Amberkit landed on all fours behind the Loner and spun around. She once again reared-up on her hind legs, then began to swipe at the cat's tail with her delicate paws. She managed to continuously bat the snow-white queen's tail from left-to-right with gaining speed. Eventually, the Loner's tail became a white blur.
"This is fun!!!" meowed Amberkit.

[☆ Iceleaf ☆]

"Well I'm glad you like it! Now, follow me!" Cloud sped off into the bushes, but always stopping to make sure that the kit was following. Cloud always had her tail low behind her to make sure that the kit wanted to follow it, and slightly swaying it side to side with every step.
"Come on little kit! Follow me! I want to take you to a secret spot, and to meet some of my friends! Come on!!" Cloud always stopped for the kit, to make sure she followed.

[✲Mythwĭng✲]

Amberkit was captivated by this strange cat's sweeping plume of a tail. It was almost addicting to pounce on, Amberkit just couldn't restrain herself from giving it a good whack, or to pounce on it, then simply let it slip out of her soft paws again.
"Some of your friends?" the tiny kit's big eyes grew surprizingly larger, "What are their names?"

[☆ Iceleaf ☆]

"Well, there is... Umm... Cloverpaw, and Willowpelt, and... Umm... Well, you'll meet them when you get there." Cloud felt a rush of guilt fall on her... Should she carry on with the plan, or get killed for not doing so...
She paused for a minuet... "Yeah! Come on! By the way, what is your name little one?"

[✲Mythwĭng✲]

"Cloverpaw ... Willowpelt ... cool!" Amberkit meowed, "How many of your friends are there?"
Amberkit bounced along in Cloud's wake, her paws itching to just sprint through the forest or climb a tree.
"Oh ... and I'm Amberkit!" she squeaked, "what's your name?"

[☆ Iceleaf ☆]

"Ha-ha! My name is Cloud, but I don't like it that much... When we get to the camp you will be able to meet all of my friends! I hope you like the sand and Hide-and-Spot! All of my friends really want to meet you!" Cloud was feeling more and more guilty for kit-napping Amberkit... Maybe she should just run away with the kit and say to Skorpion that she couldn't do it! No... then he would get all of his cats to attack her... Then she would still be kit-napping this poor innocent kit...
Cloud began to feel drowsy... "Ah- We're almost here! Finally..."

[✲Mythwĭng✲]

"Hide-and-Spot! That sounds like a pawful of fun!" Amberkit cried, "I can't wait to meet all of yo- ..." Amberkit went silent. She gazed at the boulder mountain with awe filling her huge, warm, glowing amber eyes, "what's that? . . . it's huge! . . . do you live here??"

[☆ Iceleaf ☆]

"Well, I don't live here just yet... But I will soon! All we have to do is go over here! Follow me!"
Cloud looked at the little white kit... Then cocked her head towards the bushes at the end of the mountain "This way, come on!"
Cloud wasn't sure what to do... She wanted to help the rouges and live with them, especially Skorpion, but she didn't want to kit-nap another kit! She couldn't bare it! But if she didn't do it, Skorpion would banish her... Cloud had no choice. She walked closer to the bushes. "Are you coming, little spaz-kit?"

[✲Mythwĭng✲]

"OOooh! This is ... awesome!" Amberkit felt another random jolt of energy surge through her paws. She leaped up and twisted in the air, landing on all fours. She then rolled around in the warm sand, kicking it up with her hind paws. Suddenly, a little pang of worry began to throb in her chest, "I wish Mother were here to play with me ... and she'd love this sand and the toasty rocks!" Amberkit whimpered, "you will take me back to my Mama ... won't you, Cloud?" She looked up at the Loner with her cute, round eyes. She began to whisper, "... won't you?"

[☆ Iceleaf ☆]

"Well... The- Umm... Just wait here, ok? Hide in this hole no matter what, ok?! Do you promise me?"
Cloud looked at the whimpering little kit with her big stern, but soft blue eyes.

[✲Mythwĭng✲]

"Okay ..." Amberkit whispered. She ducked down in a dip in the sand-dune. Since her snow-white pelt stood out so well, she buried all of her body, apart from her face, in the sand. It was uncomfortable, and Amber was greatly tempted to just leap out of the dip and shake off all of the sand beneath her fur, but she crouched there and put up with it.
Cloud could get me home to Mum ...

[/b] Amberkit thought to herself, ... it'll be worth half burying myself to see Mama again ...[/i]

[Flamefox]

Flamefox thought he smelt a kit. "Hello?" he called out half worried. Then the kit scent turned to a sand smell. He concentrated then a kit appeared in his mind. "Amberkit is that you?"

[✲Mythwĭng✲]

Amberkit awoke with a start. She had a dreamless sleep filled with screeches of agony and the stench of blood. "F-Flamefox?" she called out. She knew this cat's voice - he was Mythwing's mate, "I-I'm here ..."
