The moon was high in the sky and the crickets could be heard chirruping all around. The nursery was a warm, comforting area at this time of night and the contented sigh coming from the nursery entrance was something to prove it. The owner of that sigh, Beetlekit, a tired little kit, was watching the night sky carefully, an almost wistful look in her bright amber eyes. She wasn't willing to sleep at this time of night, since it was just too pretty.
The she-kit wasn't planning on leaving during this beautiful night, no, that'd be against the rules and the rules aren't something to be ignored. She wasn't sure her sister knew that, though. Hazelkit was curious, and when Beetlekit came to that conclusion, she kept repeating a catchy phrase in her head. Curiosity killed the cat. That phrase scared her.
She sent a glance at her sister's form in the nest and a light smile appeared on her lips. Curious or not, her sister was her favorite cat in the whole entire world (or what she'd seen of it). Nothing would ever change the fact that she was more important to Beetlekit than anything else- well, maybe the rules- no! Not the rules.

Hazelkit was sleeping. Or at least she appeared to be. She had been curled up with her eyes closed forever, pretending to sleep. Her plan was to sneak out once all the other cats were sleeping. But Beetlekit wouldn’t sleep! No matter how much Hazelkit loved her sister, she knew that Beetlekit loved the rules more than having fun, that was for sure. Hazelnut was tired of waiting though. She huffed, getting to her paws. She would just have to convince her sister to come with her, or go without her. She that couldn’t work though- Beetlemit would wake up their mother to stop her from going outside. Hazelnut bounced over to her sister anyways. “Hey Beetlemkt!” She whispered. “It’s such a beautiful night isn’t it...?” cube, Notes: I’m on mobile so there are definitely some typos in there.

Beetlekit narrowed her eyes as she watched her sister getting up from the nest. Oh no, please don't even try to convince me. She thought, shuffling her paws before she got up on her paws to give a pointed glare to Hazelkit. Beetlekit let out a soft sigh, watching the other kit bouncing over to her. Before her sister could utter another word, she spoke. "It's too late to go outside, don't ask me to go!" And as an afterthought, "and don't even think about going alone. You're- no, we're too young for that." Beetlekit's eyes softened, no longer narrowed as she nudged Hazelkit playfully. "C'mon." She whispered, a smile playing at her lips, "I'm just worried about you, alright? I don't want you to get in trouble and I don't want to get in trouble." If she was going to be important one day, she'd have to keep her reputation perfect. That meant no rule breaking! soft

Hazelkit huffed and batted at Beetlekit, a playful glint in her eye. "Oh come on Beetlekit, it's always "rules, rules, rules!" with you. Do you even know what fun is? Just tonight- just one night, we can sneak out." Her eyes were wide and pleading as she looked at her sister. She wasn't mad at her sister, and she still loved her more than anything. She knew rules were probably just there to keep you safe and blah blah blah- but sometimes fun was not being safe, and that made it more exciting, didn't it? Plus, wouldn't it be so cool to explore? She sighed inwardly, wishing that Beetlekit would understand. cube,

soft, Beetlekit cuffed her sister's ears lightly, her amber eyes didn't show the slightest glint of playfulness. "Rules are serious, everyone knows that! And I do know what fun is... I think sitting by the entrance of the nursery talking to my annoying sister and obeying the rules is fun!" She did believe that. Talking to Hazelkit was one of her favorite pastimes, a way to get her head off of her constant worries about not going anywhere with her life. The kit didn't know if Hazelkit felt the same way, so she asked. "You like talking to me, right?" A hopeful look was on her face as she spoke. "You might be annoying but I like talking to you."

Hazelkit tilted her head. "Yes, of course I love talking to you! It's one of my favorite things!" She shifted so that she was sitting on her haunches and licked her paw, drawing it over her ear. "But even better than talking to you... well, if there was anything better, it would be going on an adventure with you! Can't you just see that Beetlekit? There's so much out there, we have to see it all! Plus, think about it... you want to be important one day, don't you? Doesn't everyone? Well, if you want to be important, you'll have to explore! You can't wait to see the territory until you're an apprentice or warrior - you'd be at a severe disadvantage compared to the kits who did wander out!" cube,

She thought about it for a moment, before shaking her head furiously. "Stop trying to tempt me, Hazelkit!" She meowed accusingly. "It won't help me if we get in trouble." Beetlekit shuffled beside her sister and elbowed her lightly before insisting, "We can play inside the nursery, where we're supposed to be, alright?"
The kitten took in a deep breath, closing her eyes as she relaxed in the warmth of the nursery. She wrapped her tail around Hazelkit, attempting to calm her down. "Isn't this nice? The warm nursery, next to the cats we love? Watching the beautiful waterfall?" Beetlekit forced a smile, though it wasn't very convincing...

Hazelkit shook her head. "But Beetlekit..." She sighed and looked at her paws before looking back up at Beetlekit. "Oh, what would I do without you?" She muttered to herself. "I'd go on adventures, sneak into territory, maybe try and catch something... I'd get into too much trouble and danger and..." she closed her eyes and whispered, "And I'd probably be dead by now if it wasn't for you." She laid her head against Beetlekit's shoulder. Hazelkit hated to admit it, but her sister was right. If she tried to go out now, it would be suicide. Who knew what was crawling around out there? 'Well... but if we stay within camp it should be fine right? But there were hawk and owls and other things that could attack her... she sighed. "Okay, fine," she mewed, trying not to grumbling. "I won't go outside, not right now. But when I'm an apprentice, and I know how to fight, I'm going to have so many adventures! And I hope you'll be there with me." cube,

"You're right." She puffed out her fluffy chest. "You would be in danger without me, since I'm obviously the smart one in my family." After a few moments of thinking, Beetlekit licked her sister's forehead to make sure she knew she was joking. Just for sure measure, "I'm joking, you know."
"And, I'll always be there for you, Hazel." She paused a bit, a small smile slipping on her lips. "Well, only if you promise to follow the rules. And promise you won't go seeking for trouble when we're apprentices. I want you alive and well. That's how I like my family members." soft, (So sorry I haven't been having the best week)

Hazelkit huffed. "Of course I'm going to go on adventures! And sometimes adventures bring trouble along with them. Trouble is inevitable, so there's no point of living in fear of it, as long as you can get yourself out of it. Besides, I'd rather live a short, fun life, than a long, boring one," she mewed, wrinkling her nose. "Though I wouldn't mind becoming an elder one day... and then think of all the fun stories I could tell kits!" She started bouncing around a bit. "See, adventures will make great stories that one day I'll be able to tell kits, maybe even my kits, if I have any!" cube,
