Fox'Winds story starts with being a kit named Fox'kit
She open her eyes. She is in a den... Her mother and father are nearby.
One of them is a cat and One of them is a fox
A cat, her father, notices her
"Aw look at that... the kit's finally awake."
A fox, her mother, walks closer
"It looks adorable."
They both look lovingly down at her
Her father speaks
"So... have you thought of a name for the kit yet?"
Her mother thinks for a moment
"Hmm...what about... Foxkit?"
Her father thinks about it
"I like it. Foxkit..."
6 moons
She was playing with water in RiverClan, suddenly A warrior in RiverClan comes over her
"Hey kit. Shouldn't you be back in camp? You know, playing with your littermates and watching the elders tell their stories?"
The warrior said
"Idk... I like playing with my own self"
She said
"Hm... well playing by yourself isn't very safe for a young kit like you."
They said as the warrior looks down at her
"What if a hawk or a fox saw you out here all alone?"
They said
"But foxes don't hurt me because I'm am one!"
She said
The warrior pauses and speak.
"Ah, right... you're a fox cat aren't you?"
The warrior smiles and tell her
"Still, young kit, it isn't safe to be out here on your own. Why not play in the nursery with your littermates?"
"Fine..."
She said as she return to camp and head to the nursery
Inside she can see her littermates playing with each other
She wants to speak to them so she did
"Hi?"
Her littermates turn to look at her.
"Hey, where have you been? We were wondering where you disappeared to."
"To the river! Wanna come?"
One of her littermates, a black-and-white kit named Willow'kit, nods.
"Sure! Let's go."
Willow'kit stands up, as do the other kits, and follows her out of the nursery
Her and her littermates play in the water, splashing each other and having a great time.
Suddenly, one of the kits, a dark ginger tomkit named Lion'kit, gets an idea
"Hey, let's see who can hold their breath underwater the longest!"
The other kits cheer in excitement, and they all get ready to hold their breaths
"Alright, on the count of three... 1, 2, 3!"
All the kits start holding their breath. She close her eyes and try to hold out for as long as possible
A few moments pass. She can feel her lungs starting to burn, begging her to take a breath.
She look at the other kits. Some of them already have their head above the surface, gasping for air.
She continue holding her breath, determined to beat the others. However, the pressure in her lungs is becoming harder and harder to ignore.
The other kits are getting close to giving up, but she still going strong.
Finally, the other kits start giving up one by one. They pop out of the water, gasping for air.
Only her remain underwater, pushing through the discomfort and holding her breath for as long as she can
She burst out of the water, gasping and panting for air.
The other kits gather around her, impressed by her display of breath-holding skills.
"Wow, Fox'kit! You held your breath forever!" exclaims Lion'kit
"Thanks..."
She said
"Maybe you're even part fish."snickers Willow'kit. The other kits giggle at the joke
Just then, a voice calls from the edge of the clearing.
"What are you all doing out here? You should be in the nursery!"
She turns to see her mother standing there, looking at her and her littermates with a stern expression. She walks over and looks at her specifically
"Fox'kit, I told you to stay in the nursery. It's not safe for a young kit like you to be by yourself."
"But mom-"
"No buts, young kit."
Her mother looks at her sternly
"You need to stay in the nursery where it's safe. The world is dangerous, especially for a young cat-fox hybrid like you, and I won't allow you to put yourself in danger."
The other kits look between her and her mom, silently watching the exchange
Her mother turns to the other kits
"As for you all, back to the nursery now. It's getting late, and it's time for everyone to sleep."
The other kits look disappointed, but they know better than to argue with her mother. They say goodbye to her, and start making their way back to the nursery
She trudged along beside her mother, feeling a bit dejected. She was having so much fun playing by the river, and now she have to go back to the boring ol' nursery...
As she approach the nursery, she see her father waiting outside. He nods approvingly as she and her mother approach
"I heard you were down at the river again." he says to her, his tone serious
"Yeah dad..."
She said
Her father sighs
"I understand you like to explore and play, but it's not safe for you to be out there on your own."
Her mother nods in agreement
"Your father is right. We just want to keep you safe, that's all."
Her father kneels down so he's eye level with her
"You know there are dangerous animals out there that see you as nothing more than a snack, yes?"
"But-"
"No buts, Fox'kit."
Her father interrupts her
"You are our kit, and it is our job to protect you. And that means keeping you safe, which means staying in the nursery."
Her father speaks softly, but there's a seriousness in his voice that she know not to ignore
Her mother adds
"We understand you're growing and curious, but there will be plenty of time for exploring when you're older and stronger. For now, you need to listen to us and stay in the nursery where we can keep an eye on you."
