"Weeee!" hollers Moorkit, who paints the camp red with her growing legs. She is as quick as the wind itself, punting up oodles of sandy clouds as her paws shoot across the hollow. Even a couple of sunrises ago, the girl wasn't this fast. WindClan's grown-ups better be vigilant about how they treat her now, because it's a mere matter of moons until she's outrunning them all!
Front pads land on the ground at a funny angle. They become trapped in the grains and refuse to pull out when told to, and moments afterwards, her rear ankles dangle over her noggin. Poor Moorkit's disastrous wreck does not end there though, thanks to a silly little thing called momentum. She tumbles, and she somersaults, and she flails around for at least a fox-length after the fact. It is only when her chin thumps into the sand that the turbulent kit stops in her tracks, and even then, her head still spins.
It feels like there's a gopher rummaging around inside her brain! Such a weird sensation, and her face would remain scrunched up for as long as she had to endure it. On top of that, now her legs are sore. She wishes Mom or Dad were here to tell her she was alright.
Emerald hues blink open in a sluggish manner. They open to a landscape which continues to revolve around her, a world where the gorse wall sways like a branch in the breeze. It gradually comes to a standstill, thank StarClan, and the first thing Moorkit can clearly see is a writhing, wriggling, pink worm between her paws. "Woah! A snake!"
She cannot stop what happens next. The prospect of catching - and eating - her first prey was too large of an urge to swallow. If anyone asks, it's the instincts' fault and not her own.
Moorkit lunges forward, slurping up the thing without giving it so much as a chew. It wiggles the entire way down, a fact she found so funny that she fails to stifle the coming laugh. And when she laughs, her fresh-kill gets caught in her throat. And when that happens, she too writhes around like a worm on the ground; not because she wants to, but rather because she's choking.
