In this world, there are only a few things that Meadowkit is well and truly afraid of. The dark, for one but also the creatures that lurk in the dark. The monsters from the stories her mother and the elders told her. Creatures meant to be fiction and used to scare kits into doing what they were told but to Meadowkit these faceless horrors are real and they only come out at night after everyone has curled up tight in their nests asleep. Tonight though? Tonight she has a plan. She would wait until everyone was asleep and then she would go out and she would take care of the monsters all by herself just like she had taken care of that bug for Beetlekit. She could do this, she could overcome her fears. For herself, for them.
The steady rise and fall of her mothers chest tells her that Moonwhisper is asleep, and it is then that Meadowkit makes her move. Gently, she extracts herself from her littermates side and makes her way over to the entrance of the nursery on quiet paws. The shadows that bathe every corner of the den threaten to stop her in her tracks on multiple occasions but I am brave, I am brave is a mantra that repeats over and over in her head and keeps her going, it gives her the strength to push out of the den and into ThunderClan's camp clearing, her eyes squeezed shut until finally she is there. For a moment, she just stands there, afraid of what she'll see when she opens her eyes but... Moonlight bathes the clearing, casting the camp in an ethereal glow. It is strange, to see a place usually so full of life so quiet. Oh yeah she thinks If I was a monster this would be prime monstering time When all the warriors were asleep and the kits were ripe for the taking. Well, not on her watch!
That's when she sees it. There! In the shadowed corners of camp she spots movement out of the corner of her bright green eyes and without thinking, she launches herself at the creature, a furious battle cry ready at her lips before she quickly remember that everyone is asleep and this was meant to be a stealth mission. "I got you, monster! You're not getting away from me!" she is not afraid, she would overcome her fears and keep her camp safe just like a real warrior! But just in case she closes her eyes so she doesn't have to see whatever unspeakable terror her small orange and white body is about to collide into.
"Oof!" Her attack didn't go as planned as she meets what she can only expect to be a stone wall when she opens her eyes. Dazed, she is more than shocked to see an adult here in the place of what she had thought was a monster. "Bigfang?" she asks, shaking her head to clear her thoughts. "What're you doing out here, don't you know its dangerous at night!" her voice is scolding, as if he's the one who should be sleeping soundly tucked away in his nest right now, not her.
