Hollykit heard the pawsteps stop and her ears dropped. What was Puddlekit doing? The tiny kit swallowed hard. She wasn't used to doing anything without her sister's help, so how was she suppose to do something now? She heard the other kit speaking to her, and froze. She didn't speak to anyone but Cloverpaw. She opened her mouth to say something, but closed it, and swallowed hard. All this was new and making her nervous.

Puddlekit relaxed a bit and crouched down until she was at Hollykit's level. "Hello! Don't you talk?" She felt more comfortable around this other shy kit then she had the others. [/size]

Hollykit flicked her ears agitated that she just had to be shy. She gasped as she heard the sound of the other kit's voice go downward. The kit must have either layed down, or something. She shook her head at the question. If she talked then she would have said something by now, Duh!

Puddlekit cocked her head and scooched closer. She was too young to understand why Hollykit wasn't responding, and before now she hadn't ever tried talking to her. "Hmm. Well, you want to play?" [/size]

Now the kit was getting closer, great. She didn't move without her sister's help, she didn't talk unless it was to her sister, and she hadn't opened her eyes yet, so how was she going to be able to do anything? Hollykit sighed, she hated all of this. Why couldn't she be a normal kit like everyone else? She really wished Cloverpaw was here with her to help her speak. But she wasn't, and Hollykit was going to have to speak on her own...or maybe not. When she heard the next question Puddlekit asked, Hollykit smiled. She loved to play, but she didn't really know how exactly she was going to do that. She nodded at the question, she did want to play, and was eager to hear more of what Puddlekit had to say.

"Alright then." Puddlekit said enthusiastically. "Now we have to decide what to play. Any ideas?" She was using this as a reason to make Hollykit speak to her. She was determined to get her to talk if it was the last thing she did.
Puddlekit could feel her mothers eyes on her, but she ignored her for the time being. Dewdrop smiled at her kit, knowing how strange it was for her to be taking the lead. [/size]

Hollykit tucked her tail underneath her body as she listened to Puddlekit. She got distracted for a moment as she heard the chirping of a bird, it sounded peaceful. When she snapped out of that she had heard only the last part of Puddlekit's sentence. At the mentioning of having any ideas, her ears perked up. She was always full of ideas, she just never expressed them. She would have loved to say some of them, but it would require her to speak, something she wasn't too fond of. After thinking about the pro's and con's of speaking, she finally answered the question. She shook her head side to side, which obviously meant she didn't have any ideas.

Puddlekit frowned. This Hollykit was stuborn. But she would have to match it if she was going to reach her goal. "Oh well then. I'm all out of ideas too, so I guess we can't play anything." She kicked away the mossball that she had been playing with earlier. [/size]

Where was Cloverpaw when you needed her? Hollykit was having this thought over and over in her mind. She just didn't like to talk, or well she was afraid of talking. She was skittish around cats other than her sister, especially when they wanted her to talk. Even though Puddlekit was her age, she had the feeling that she was alone. Her brothers and sister had died, her mother had died, and her father had died. All she was left with is a sister that barely knew how to take care of her. A tear drifted down Hollykit's face as she thought of this. She wanted to talk so badly, but the fear kept overpowering her. "No." she whispered, not wanting them to not play anything.

Silverwind walked over to Puddlekit, accompanied by hollykit. The small ball of fluffed up fur was almost cowering. An idea lazily drifted across her mind, and Silverwind grabbed at it, and put it into action. Oh my, puddlekit! Have you seen that bird? Look how beautiful it is!" she exclaimed, emphasizing on the word 'seen' and 'beautiful'. The small silver she-cat glanced down at Hollykit, winking at Puddlekit quickly, before returning her gaze to the trees. Her obvious goal was to get Hollykit to open her eyes. It seemed at the moment, she was acting more like a queen than a mentoring warrior. Silverwind flashed an apologetic look at Cloverpaw, flicking her tail toward the source of the problem, the tiny creature pressed to the floor in front of her.

Nightstar watched the kits play. At least Puddlekit was healthy. But maybe this small friendship would help Hollykit open her eyes and start to eat. "Morningpaw is certainly taking her good old time isn't she?" Stormfire noted. Nightstar nodded, not taking much notice of it. Even some of the warriors were trying to encourage young Hollykit to open her eyes. Stormfire had already talked Nightstar out of talking with Hollykit, saying she'd be "too rough". The leader thought that forcing (verbally) Hollykit's eyes open would be the best way to go but she would trust her brother's judgement.

Puddlekit stared at the warrior for a momet, completely confused. It took her a moment to understand, but she took it on immediatly. "Wow! Look at all the colors. Do you think we can catch it?"

Cloverpaw was watching her sister carefully, of course, but still was far enough to where her sister didn't know where she was. She was beyond excited as she heard the other cats attempting to help out Hollykit. She blinked at Silverwind and shook her head, mouthing the words 'No problem'. A small gasp escaped from her mouth when she heard her sister actually say something.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hollykit listened carefully to Silverwind, her ears perking up as she heard something about a bird. Oh how she wished she could see this sight! She wanted to say something, but the fear settled in once again about speaking. When she heard Puddlekit, that was the last straw, she didn't care about her fear of talking now, the curiousity inside her was growing. "Where?" was the first word out of her mouth. "I...want...to...catch...it" was the next few words out of her mouth. The words were a little harder to say than she thought they were, and had to say them slowly.

Silverwind smiled, concealing her surprise at Hollykit talking. "I don't know! I've lost it! Puddlekit, you might be able to see it, but I doubt that any cat could, only one with better eyesight than myself..." she sighed, trying to sound down. The bird was in fact right in the tree, large and colourful. It would be hard to miss. She baited her breath. Maybe Hollykit would open her eyes. She hoped so, it would be her second great achievement with the kits of the clan that day. [/size]

Puddlekit prodded the air with her paw. "Right in the tree over there. It's in plain site. Come on!" She crouched down and tried to crawl out of sight. She wasn't the best, but she was trying and she hadn't started training yet. [/center]
