Applekit followed Blazekit as he made his way through the forest, Swiftkit trailing next to him. "So where are we going, then? You don't know anything about what's outside the camp!" she pointed out.
Blazekit shook his head. "So what? That's what makes this adventure even more fun!" he countered, not willing to admit that he was totally and completely lost.
Swiftkit decided to put in his own input, after watching his brother and sister make their exchange. "I'm not even very sure why we went out to the forest. Someone will soon notice we're missing and come searching for us, and there's no way we can outwit the warriors and apprentices that'll follow our trail."
"Such a downer!" Blazekit mumbled, shaking his head at Swiftkit. "It'll still be fun while it lasts." he pointed out, raising his voice a bit.

"Look what we've got here..." a brown tabby muttered to himself. He was camoflauged in the bracken and brambles around him, only his random silver patches showing.
"Hm?" came another voice. A Golden tom was sitting behind the brown tom, cleaning his long fur. When he heard his companion speak, he turned his head to look at him. "What's up, Luxord?"
"Three ThunderClan kits out of their camp," the tabby, Luxord, replied, "Luck is on our side today. We were asked to cause trouble, and here it is Demyx, come right to us!"
Luxord pushed his way through the surrounding foliage to step out in front of the kits, his golden furred companion, Demyx, following close behind. He managed to snag his fur on a bramble though, and Demyx instead came tumbling out of the bushes and landed on his side next to Luxord.
Luxord just sighed and shook his head as he watched the other tom get up, then turned to the kits. "What are you three doing so far from camp?" he purred.

Blazekit's fur fluffed up the moment he saw two unfamiliar cats come out from the bushes in front of him and his littermates. His little claws unsheathed themselves and dug into the ground. He couldn't put a scent on the cats, they smelled nothing like a Clan cat. Blazekit narrowed his eyes so that they were just slits of ice blue. "What are you doing in ThunderClan territory?" he shot back the retort.
Swiftkit let out a hiss and fluffed up his fur as well when he saw the cats come out from the bushes. He let his brother handle it though, and just hung around to protect Applekit. Because she was a woman so she was weak. Man power. HOO HAH. jk.
Applekit stepped closer to Swiftkit when the cats emerged to meet the three kits on their adventure away from the camp. She too hissed and fluffed up her fur, but let herself retreat to Swiftkit's flank for safety. THERE WAS SAFETY IN NUMBERS, AMONG THE MEXICAN MAFIA.

Demyx shook himself to get rid of the dirt that had gotten into his pelt. He answered the kit, "Hey, we're friends of ThunderClan! We just wanted to help you out!"
Luxord nodded his head, trying to think fo some sort of excuse to get these kits to willingly come with them. They could force the kits with them, or murder them on the spot, but life would be easier if they just came back to their hideout with them. He bluffed, "Yes, we feel bad for poor ThunderClan kits like you."

This time, Applekit wanted to say something before Blazekit could get in. "Well your pity is wasted. We don't need it, and we'll be on our way now..." she said, narrowing her own blue eyes.
Swiftkit threw in, "Yes, and we don't need your help." Dustcloud had taught them better than to just trust random rogues that show up and try to steal kits. Because you know.. that happens everyday.
Blazekit backed up so that he was beside Applekit and Swiftkit, nodding approvingly at their words. He definitely didn't believe these cats one bit. They seemed too creepy. The brown one especially. Demyx.

"Of course," Luxord purred, "Go back to your ThunderClan. See what they do for you."
"Yeah," Demyx added, sitting down on the ground, "Too bad you won't get to be apprentices any time soon...at least for ThunderClan, that is." He started to lick his paw and pulled a thorn out of his pad. His poor fur was now mangled, and he had always tried to hard to keep it clean!

Applekit saw her brother's ears prick, and became alarmed. He couldn't fall for the tricks of strange cats! Before her brother could say anything she quickly mewed, "We don't want to be apprentices for any other Clan... or group of rogues." she said, spitting the last words out like crowfood.
Swiftkit was also alarmed by Blazekit's interest in what the cats were saying, and sent a silent thanks to StarClan for Applekit's intervention. He watched as Blazekit tossed a glare at Applekit and was suddenly on his toes again when his brother opened his mouth to speak.
"Don't mind my sister..." Blazekit started, looking at the cats with piqued curiosity. "What are you talking about?" he asked the two cats, still hostile but slowly letting his guard down.

"You mean you don't know?" Demyx asked, taking a break from washing his golden fur.
"Cinderstar told Foxstar that she planned to raid your camp if she didn't give up all of their kits to ShadowClan." Luxord meowed.
"Yeah," added Demyx, "So you're going to be ShadowClan kits pretty soon. I thought you knew, since you were out here by yourself and whatnot."

Applekit didn't like the tone of voice that the cats were using on them, and was highly suspicious that their words were all false. Foxstar would have told the Clan, and Dustcloud would be more protective than ever. Applekit could tell that every word these cats uttered was a lie. She turned to see if Swiftkit's eyes mirrored the same suspicious look as her own, and sure enough, they did.
Swiftkit could tell that him and Applekit were on the same page with what was happening here, but looking at Blazekit it was obvious that the grey tom was not seeing through their lies. "I don't believe any of that." he mewed before Blazekit could recover from his shock.

Luxord shrugged his shoulders and mewed, "Suit yourself. It's not my job to protect little almost-ShadowClan kits anyway." The brown tom stood up and disappeared back through the bushes, muttering "Come on, Demyx."
The golden tom looked at where Luxord had disappeared, then looked back down at the kits. His eyes were filled with worry, and he mewed, "I feel so bad for you. I know Dustcloud, and I know she would hate to lose you, especially to ShadowClan! But the word of the leader is warrior code, right?" Demyx sighed, then added, "Well, good luck to you then." He turned and disappeared through the bushes as well. Then a few seconds later, he poked his head out once again. "You know, because I'm friends with Dustcloud and youre her kits, I'll take you back to my place 'till this all blows over." he said. "Demyx!" came a harsh cry from somewhere up ahead. "Luxord's getting mad at me. You're choice, but you'd better hurry and make it." Demyx mewed. His eyes were still filled with worry for the kits. Of course, he wasn't really worried, but he was the best at faking emotions.

"Come on guys! You heard them!" Blazekit said, looking back at his siblings, filled with anticipation. He was still a little upset with them for being so cautious and trying to kill all of the fun. Before waiting for their reply, he bounced after Demyx. "We'll show ShadowClan who's boss!" he called out.
Applekit was filled with panic and uncertainty. She knew these cats were not to be trusted, and she knew Swiftkit was aware of that as well. They could easily walk away, but not without their brother. "We'll figure out a way to get back home." she promised him, trying to replace her fear with determination.
Swiftkit nodded. "We'll think of something. I just hope that Blazekit doesnt' get us into more trouble than we could handle..." he said, and decided to start the backup plan right here. He unsheathed his claws, digging them into the ground, making deep scores in the earth. As he followed after his brother, Applekit at his side, he made sure to do this several times.

Demyx gave the kits a small smile as he saw they were going to follow them. He let the kits pass him, then seeing what Swiftkit was doing, he purred, "Tired, little one? Let me help you." He picked the kit up by the scruff of his neck and followed after the other two kits.
By now Luxord had stopped to see what the problem was. He saw the kits, and Demyx holding the other one. Luxord sighed, "We're almost there."

"No, actually, I'm just fine, now let. me. down!" Swiftkit said, twisted his body around, as uncomfortable as it was, and smacked a paw (claws unsheathed) against Demyx's nose, letting his claws score down, not caring at the flesh he felt tear under his claws.
Applekit let out a small mrrow of laughter at Swiftkit's actions, and continued to score her own claws down the earth, making her actions look much less noticeable so that she wouldn't be picked up either. She had made a mental note of the path to where they were going so that when they made their escape, they'd have no problem getting back to the forest, and eventually, the camp.
Blazekit had slowed his pace to be with his siblings. When Demyx picked up his brother, he got defensive. Especially when Swiftkit clearly didn't want to be picked up. "Let him down. Now!" he said, bristling again.

Demyx set the kit down on the ground. He didn't appreciate being bossed around, but he pretended that it didn't bother him at all. Killing the kits after this much work was a bad idea.
Luxord gave a small laugh, but neither cat said anything until they got to Twolegplace.
"Stay close to us, alright?" Demyx said, "If you get lost here, you'll never get back to Dustcloud!"

"Are we ever really going to get back to her anyways, kitnappers?" Applekit snapped, her mind reeling. She was still thinking of a way to get out of this. Luckily, Blazekit didn't hear her comment.
Blazekit was eagerly looking around at the new surroundings, not paying much mind to anything else besides beating ShadowClan butt when a battle broke out and he was an apprentice.
Swiftkit pushed himself closer to Applekit as soon as he was set down and nodded at her comment. He was already piecing together a way to get out of this place. He would pay special attention to this place, trying to analyze his surroundings fully so that he would know it well when they'd make their escape.
