The kits were shocked, just staring at Stonekit, and trying to process what he just said. Suddenly Dawnkit started jumping around.
“We have powers! Were the coolest kits in the clans!” She shrieked, ecstatic. Suddenly, they heard a loud crack…
“What was that?” Said Shimmerkit cautiously.
The other kits shrugged, and another crack came, scaring them. Suddenly the open half of the log collapsed, and they were thrust into darkness.
The kits immediately began crying out for help, but no one noticed. After a few minutes of freaking out, Shimmerkit yelled,
“Stop it. They obviously won’t save us, we are going to have to save ourselves. Now let’s actually think. How do we get out?”
“Well, we could try digging!” Suggested Dawnkit. “We have webbed paws, it would scoop out dirt good!”
The others nodded and began digging..
“This is getting us no where!” Cried out Stonekit. “We need to think of something else.”
“Wait. What if we used our powers?” Suggested Dawnkit again.
“But we can’t control them yet. We don’t know how. What if we hurt someone?” Countered Shimmerkit.
“I agree with Dawnkit.” Meowed Stonekit. “That or we die alone in this log.”
Shimmerkit sighed, giving in.
Stonekit focused really hard, demanding for the collapsed wood to move. He wished and focused so hard his head began to hurt, and he began to shake. But a moment later, so did the wood. It shook, barely vibrating at first, but the shaking becoming increasingly more visible.
“It’s working,” whispered Dawnkit in awe. The sticks were now visibly moving, and a second later, they exploded outwards, freeing the kits. They ran out, relieved to be free, and shocked with what they know, and what Stonekit did. Suddenly Shimmerkit had an idea…
“Guys… you know how Peonypaw knew how we were about to go to the stream? Basically, predicting the future? What if… what if she has powers too?” Asked Shimmerkit.
“ oh your so right! We are going to be like a team of cats!” Agreed Dawnkit.
“Why don’t we ask her tomorrow? And we can tell her what I heard. But now let’s get to bed..” mewed Stonekit.
THE NEXT MORNING
The kits ran to the apprentice den, early in the morning, hoping to catch Peonypaw before she went out, but Moonglow was already talking to her!
“Moonglow? Could we talk to Peonypaw?” Meowed Dawnkit importantly.
“Actually, I think we all need to talk to each other… about this power situation.”
