SweetMoon nodded. "Maybe Dicekit has something on her mind." she said.

 C l o v e r k i t“Fail with honor rather than succeed by fraud.”___________________________Cloverkit kept glaring in the direction of his sister, Dicekit. It seemed like he and Spadekit would never catch a break from all the trouble she’d been causing. Whenever there would be a few minutes of silence, Dicekit would just have to break the rules and cause a ruckus, one way or another.
He twitched his ears as his mother and Sweetmoon exchanged words about Dicekit, again. Cloverkit hated to admit it, but he pelt a pang of envy for his rebellious sister. Just then, he heard Sweetmoon say that he and Spadekit needed to “treat others the way they want to be treated”. He snorted half-heartedly. All he’d ever done was try to keep a war from erupting between his littermates! Once Sweetmoon finished, Cloverkit pushed himself to sit up and lick his chest fur.
“Whatever is on her mind, it’s usually bad in some way…”
The male kit mewed gingerly—yet still cruelly—as he washed a paw.

 Dewburst
[As Dewburst and Galespirit walked off with Dicekit, Dewburst began to feel guiltier and guiltier.]
"I'm so sorry Dicekit!" he burst out.
"I-I never meant to hurt you but I always end up causing trouble for everyone." he meowed his tail drooping." he said
"No one deserves to be treated like that. No one." he growled feeling mad at himself and the other for all those spiteful words.

OAKKIT: The nursery was just so, so CROWDED! Her mother seemed tired, too. How many cats were there? Oakkit tried to count, but her head still hurt from the waking it'd received. She whirled around to look at her brother.
"Hey, Softkit, wanna go explore the camp?" She whispered. Her eyes had a mischievous glint to them and her paw rapped the ground in excitement at the idea.
Softkit just stared at her for a moment, his gaze measuring. Then a purr escaped his mouth. "But I'm always nice to my sister!" He told Sweetmoon. OH! Oakkit hadn't realized her mother had spoken to them. She whirled around to face her mother again, only to hear Softkit mew behind her:
"Are you sure your heads not hurt too bad for all that swirling?"
She swirled around to face him again and....
Oh, starclan! Was she dizzy! She sat down and flicked her ear with her paws. "I really, really, really wanna get out of here, Softkit. It's way too crowded. I can't even breath! And look at mum! She's tired, too. Can we go? Can we go, please?"
"Where'll we go?"
She thought for a bit, wrapping her dark tail over her paws. "To the fresh kill pile!"
She could tell that Softkit was laughing at her, but her excitement reached a new level when he mewed "Let's go!"
In a few quick moments she was at the entrance to the nursery, weaving her way not-so-carefully through the gathered cats. Then, as if she suddenly remembered that she should tell Sweetmoon where she was going, she turned her head and yowled "Be back in a moment, Mother! Me an' Softkit are going to the fresh kill pile!"
SOFTKIT He stared after his sister while she bounded toward the entrance. A large sigh rattled his tiny chest. He heaved himself up and paused for breath, a little shaky on his feet. Slowly and carefully he made his way after Oakkit. By the time he reached her, waiting at the entrance, he had to sit and catch his breath again, shortened as it was by the intense pain in his chest.
Oakkit licked his head between the ears, a look of concern in her eyes, but he shook her away, trying to distract her with a teasing comment about her "blob."
"Is not a blob! Why do you think mother named me OAKkit?"
"Because only a mother could love a blob like that, so she had to pretend it looked like something so other people could love it, too. But let me tell you a little secret..." He put his maw close to her ear..."it didn't work."
He mrewed in laughter and put on a show of marching towards their destination, though it pained him and let him gasping for breath. Oakkit, growling good naturedly, bounded on ahead.

SweetMoon saw that her kits wanted to go outside. She purred. "Dont go out side of camp! Ask a warrior to show you around alright!" She called to her two kits. She turned back to Cloverkit. "How do you know? how do you know what's on her mind? How do you know she isnt in pain? how do you know she isnt sad? How do you know her feelings?" SweetMoon said to the kit. "You can never truly know them until you walk in their paw steps." She said.

C l o v e r k i t“Fail with honor rather than succeed by fraud.”___________________________ Cloverkit slightly widened his pale green eyes at Sweetmoon, though continued to clean his paw. Once she finished, he narrowed his eyes at the queen, as if challenging her. Despite being so young, he knew that his words were right, and he wouldn't hesitate to defend himself.
“I didn't say that what she thinks is bad in a rule-breaking way, or towards me or Spadekit. I just meant that it's probably negative in some way...”
With that, the young tom resumed his glooming, and twisted his head back to lick some of the fur on his flank.

 D i c e k i t“Even after my mirror's been shattered, I still see the reflection.”___________________________Dicekit froze. "i-it's okay, dewburst! really, its okay." she mewed. "I need to learn from my mistakes, and doveflight knows how." she looked at the ground. "it's my own fault really."

"I know what you meant." SweetMoon said to the kit. "I'm asking you how do you know what is on her mind?" SweetMoon said in calm voice. "you never know unless you walk in their paw steps. Tell me something. If you were in Dicekit's position right now, what would you be thinking about?" She asked the kit.

C l o v e r k i t“Fail with honor rather than succeed by fraud.”___________________________ Cloverkit tilted his head, trying to imagine himself as Dicekit. He felt his lips curl into a slight sarcastic smile as he found some answers.
“I dunno. Bad things. Violence, maybe...Fights, even. Oh! Confusion and anger, that's for sure.”
Cloverkit mewed in a relaxed tone. All he ever wanted was for his littermates to just get along. Upon seeing Dicekit's condition, though, this seemed highly unlikely.

SweetMoon shook her head. "Cloverkit. think for a moment. You must try to understand your sister's feelings before jumping to conclusion." SweetMoon said to the kit.

"now take a minute, and i want you to release all thought...." she paused. "now....Think of dicekit. Think no opinions, you are her. You are Dicekit.....how do you feel." she mewed.

C l o v e r k i t“Fail with honor rather than succeed by fraud.”___________________________ Cloverkit felt anger well up inside of him as, once again, no one understood Dicekit as he did. But as his mother spoke to him, he subdued, and obeyed. Cloverkit closed his eyes and concentrated on his sister.
“Mad...at everyone. Scared, too...Why do they all...” he paused, blinking open his eyes. Realization hit him all too suddenly. He turned to his mother, Doveflight, with a questioning expression. “Why does everyone stare at Dicekit like she's...a monster?”
[[@Comet - Shouldn't Doveflight have a separate posting format? xD
When I read it, I was like...'Why is Dicekit talking in third person--oooh, nvm.' XD]]

SweetMoon nodded. "Now you understand." SweetMoon looked to the skys. "I was watching Dicekit and it seemed as if something... or someone was following her... a dark spirit..." SweetMoon closed her eyes as a small breeze blew towards her face. She got up and stretched.

C l o v e r k i t“Fail with honor rather than succeed by fraud.”___________________________ Cloverkit still did not feel satisfied. If someone, or some dark spirit, were following her, she'd be scared and confused, not cruel and sly like she is. He kneaded the floor with his tiny paws.
“But then, if something is following her, shouldn't Dicekit feel...I don't know...scared? The way she act...it's like she enjoys its company...”
Cloverkit sighed gruffly. He wondered what Spadekit thought of this all.
[[Lion King reference! xD]]
