| Frigid night air swept over the small kit's short coat, ruffling his fur and making him shiver. For a long time now his mother had been walking, while he dangled from her jaws. The tom's scruff was sore from being held and his legs had gone numb long ago. Still being too young to squeak out comprehensible words, he once and a while let out a small grunt of protest. Soon, the cold had zapped all the energy from him, and his eyes began to flutter closed.
Mother abruptly letting go of his scruff shocked him back to reality. She didn't set him down gently; she just let him fall from her jaws onto the snowy ground below. The snow stung his toes and he was barely tall enough to crawl out of the hole his body had made in the snowdrift. Mewling fearfully, he began to toddle back over towards his mother's paws but was roughly pushed away. . The tom-kit gazed up at his guardian with a world of hurt in his eyes, but there was no response from her. No soft lick of reassurance, no comforting meow or murmur; only a cold, emotionless stare. Before he could realize what was happening, his mother's head swiveled around to gaze out into the shaded woods around them. She seemed to have heard something, but spent no time investigating.
She gazed down at her only kit with one last cold glare, and dashed off to be swallowed by the shadowy depths of the night. And then there was silence.
Dumbfounded, the spotted tom jumped to his paws and with wide, tear-filled eyes, cried out his first words; "Mother! Mother come back!!" The tiny tom crouched, poised to leap through the snow after her, but he heard something. There was an eerie rustling in the nearby foliage. Shrinking back, he flattened himself to the ground as he head the sounds come closer, and closer, and closer...

| He was just walking with his patrol. Behind him, there were two younger warriors; the seductive Emberheart and the brave Pinewhisker. Blacktwig was padding forwards in the midst of dusk, not seeing anything suspicious in the night. He looked behind him, and there was the fluffy white cat. Her name, Icepaw. His patrol hadn't encountered any animals at the moment, but he picked up a slight milky scent. He supposed it was just an animal nurturing its young. He continued forwards, until he heard something.
Mewling.
A kit's mewling. "Who's there?" Blacktwig asked sharply. He felt no remorse for a kit he knew as no more than a stranger's offspring. The speckled, furry mass, that seemed as large as a grizzly bear in the night, neared the pitiful kit slowly. The patrol now seemed to surround the kit, like a pack of hungry wolves. Thawed streams now flowed, yet gnarled trees had not yet begun to grow their buds. The trees were like a wooden cage, in a crescent shape around them - the only opening facing the moon. It was a small, golden bundle. So alone.
Once they reached it, Blacktwig turned around, noticing the scent. "Wait," he ordered gently. His tail curved as he glanced at the kit. "I see a kit." Blacktwig crouched down to it, sniffing it. A few broken strands of alabaster grass blew in the cold breeze. "It's cold," he said.
Blacktwig stood up, the kit dangling from his jaws. He expected its response to be less than satisfied, but it would die out here if left in the cold. Blacktwig winced at its low temperature. He looked at his patrol.
"I don't know what to do," he meowed. "Should we take it back to camp?" he asked, tilting his head. ______________________________________ Blacktwig/Blackwhisker --- ThunderClan * Fallowstripe --- StarClan * Goatshade --- StarClan * Bouncepaw --- StarClan * Egretkit --- StarClan |

| ooc;; "the seductive Emberheart"
wow
shes getting quite the reputation
gud job
ic;; As soon as Blacktwig said something, Emberheart snapped to attention, flicking her ear in a vague attempt to listen. She'd been daydreaming, wondering about that tom she'd met on the border…
"Kit?" she repeated, taking a moment for it to process as she was dropped back into the cold reality.
The russet warrior stepped closer to Pinewhisker, comforted by her former mentor's body heat. That only lasted for a few heartbeats, however, before the fiery glint was back in her eyes and she had bounded up to her older brother's side.
"Of course, you mouse-brain." she sniffed the kit gingerly. "We're not as cold-hearted as those Shadowclan cats." she spat the word out with disgust. "At least I'm not going to let him die in the snow, freeze to death."
Tossing her auburn head, she nudged Blacktwig to the side, or at least attempted to—he was so much larger than her. "I'll carry him. Can't trust you," she muttered, latching on to the kit's scruff. For some reason, in the past few days, Emberheart had been having a softer spot for kits. She'd brushed it off as nothing, though it certainly was a change. ______________________________________ ☾ emberheart ✰ amberpaw ✾ deerpaw ♛ squirreltuft ➳ thunderclan warrior - thunderclan apprentice - windclan apprentice - riverclan young warrior |

| ooc;; very seductive kitty
Blacktwig chuckled. "Can't trust me with kits?" he asked jokingly. "Since when have you had kits of your own?" Blacktwig turned towards Pinewhisker, his younger sister's mentor and friend... as far as he knew, anyways. "I'm going to call him Leopardkit for now. Besides, he looks it." Blacktwig blinked at the little bundle, gold with darker rosettes and dark ear tips. He looked at Pinewhisker, Icepaw, and lastly, Emberheart for approval. "Temporary name," he added quickly. "What do you think?" Blacktwig asked, leaning forwards for their opinions. ______________________________________ Blacktwig/Blackwhisker --- ThunderClan * Fallowstripe --- StarClan * Goatshade --- StarClan * Bouncepaw --- StarClan * Egretkit --- StarClan |

| The tom-kit shrunk back even farther when he saw the four cats emerge from the shadows. With glowing night-eyes and their large size, to the kit they looked like monsters that had emerged from the deep.
He had a fleeting through to run, to chase after his mother, but was grabbed by the scruff by the biggest one. He squealed in fear, and pain. His scruff was still sore from the long walk. For a moment be kicked out at the cat, trying to signal his discomfort but he soon calmed down. This cat was warm, like Mama.
He tried to snuggle deeper into his fur, but he was passed to another cat, this one even more like his mother. Wait....I still need to find Mother! Letting out a tiny hiss, he began to kick and bat at the she-cat, trying to get free to chase after the only thing he knew in this world. ______________________________________ |

| "Shhh..." Blacktwig hushed. He sniffed Leopardkit. "It smells like a rogue. It got lost, I think." The small tom-kit squirmed in Emberheart's jaws. His mother... I thought I saw another cat in the shadows, he thought. Was that this kit's mother? Blacktwig wondered, but a cold wind soon startled him back to reality. The tomcat, as opposed to Emberheart, wasn't thinking about anything out of the ordinary. He silently hoped that she wasn't, either. He allowed the ginger she-cat to hold Leopardkit, but the little tom was kicking angrily at her. "I don't think he likes us very much," Blacktwig stated, knowing that his younger sister was probably going to make a snarky remark.
"Maybe we should take him back to Darkstar?" Blacktwig suggested. "Or someone else. They might be able to find this little one's parents." All the while, Blacktwig was looking around for signs of another cat. As much as the kit was adorable and endearing, he wanted to get rid of it. He wasn't a queen, and taking care of a foreign kit would be work. ______________________________________ Blacktwig/Blackwhisker --- ThunderClan * Fallowstripe --- StarClan * Goatshade --- StarClan * Bouncepaw --- StarClan * Egretkit --- StarClan |

| Emberheart wrinkled her nose in a comical expression as the little tom began to squirm, looking overwhelmed.
When her brother mentioned the name Leopardkit, she snorted and almost dropped the kit. "Looks like you want a new mate already," she mewed teasingly. "What happened to that other one?"
Her responses were muffled by the bundle of fur hanging from her mouth, but she went on, "No queen in their right mind would leave a kit out in this kind of weather to die alone. Whoever it was wanted us to find him, or wanted to kill him." She shook her head stubbornly. "Even if we do find his parents, I'm not giving him back."
And then she glanced back at the patrol, turning around completely so she could face all of them, her eyes anxious. "He still needs milk. We don't have any queens back at camp, do we?" ______________________________________ ☾ emberheart ✰ amberpaw ✾ deerpaw ♛ squirreltuft ➳ thunderclan warrior - thunderclan apprentice - windclan apprentice - riverclan young warrior |

| Blacktwig bit back a response when Emberheart made that comment. She had already changed the subject. "Well, what else are we going to name him? That's what I'm calling him, anyways," he said. Crickets' chirps sounded through the air. He heard his sister's final question, and looked around, thinking. "None that I know of," he declared, feeling useless. But it was true; there were no active queens in camp. He sighed. ______________________________________ Blacktwig/Blackwhisker --- ThunderClan * Fallowstripe --- StarClan * Goatshade --- StarClan * Bouncepaw --- StarClan * Egretkit --- StarClan |

| He stopped squirming for a moment. Looking at the other cat's concerned faces, he wondered why they weren't going after Mama. She couldn't have gone far! Flicking his tail against the she-cat's chest, he tried to mew "Mama" but it only came out as a horse mumble. His throat was rough from the cold, and his nose streamed. If they stayed out for much longer he would probably come down with a cold.
Trying again to speak, he managed to make out "Ma-" before he started coughing. Lying still, defeated, he hung his head sadly while the cats continued to talk over him. Mama got away......she's gone. ______________________________________ |

| "'Mama'?" Blacktwig asked. He looked around for signs of Leopardkit's mother. Still no movement. Fresh pawprints had been laid on the ground just heartbeats ago, and snow was already beginning to cover it. "She's gone," he said coldly, before realizing his almost frightening tone. "She left you." Blacktwig whispered, but there was almost no way to make those words 'nice'. Blacktwig sighed softly. ______________________________________ Blacktwig/Blackwhisker --- ThunderClan * Fallowstripe --- StarClan * Goatshade --- StarClan * Bouncepaw --- StarClan * Egretkit --- StarClan |

| The abandoned tom-kit did not react to the large tom's reply. He already knew the answer. His head hanging low, he was at the mercy of these four cats. He was alone now; what else could there possibly be for him? Violently shivering, he hoped that wherever the cats took him was out of the snow. Opening his hazel eyes, he glanced pleadingly up at the cats. His tears had frozen into ice-drops that lay sprinkled around his eyes, almost looking as it time had stopped as he had cried. ______________________________________ |

| Blacktwig had no honest clue where to take the newly-named Leopardkit, and looked to Emberheart and Pinewhisker. They were the two oldest members of the small patrol, and they had the responsibility to know where to go. Blacktwig shrugged, to display his utter confusion. ______________________________________ Blacktwig/Blackwhisker --- ThunderClan * Fallowstripe --- StarClan * Goatshade --- StarClan * Bouncepaw --- StarClan * Egretkit --- StarClan |

| Emberheart was overcome with a type of motherly protection for this kit, but because this was so strange to her, she took no note of it.
She faced the two toms and apprentice. "We'll see what Darkstar says." She shrugged, looking cross-eyed down at the kit that hung in her mouth. "I bet he's freezing. Maybe we could chew up some prey or something to wean him off of milk—let's get him back to camp," the russet warrior added quickly, flicking her tail and trotting into the trees. ______________________________________ ☾ emberheart ✰ amberpaw ✾ deerpaw ♛ squirreltuft ➳ thunderclan warrior - thunderclan apprentice - windclan apprentice - riverclan young warrior |

| So, Blacktwig began heading in the direction of camp. He expected that presenting this tiny, marigold bundle of fur to Darkstar would not be one's specific desire. It certainly isn't mine, he thought coldly. I have my own kit to take care of! Blacktwig's shoulders rippled with annoyance, and he sided with his sister to monitor the kit. Emblazoned into the ebony night sky were rays of orange, signifying the early coming of dawn. Blacktwig exhaled sharply with mild disapproval. We've been out here this long? he wondered, stepping weirdly over a long log swamped with mud. I guess so, he continued inwardly. Soon, the brambles thickened, and a curtain of moss revealed camp. Blacktwig breathed a sigh of relief. "Here we are," he announced noiselessly. He glanced at little Leopardkit, almost awe-stricken that they had found him - and that he had survived. He waited for the rest of the patrol to clamber up and join him. ______________________________________ Blacktwig/Blackwhisker --- ThunderClan * Fallowstripe --- StarClan * Goatshade --- StarClan * Bouncepaw --- StarClan * Egretkit --- StarClan |

| The young tom was startled when the she-cat began walking, and opened his eyes. As they padded through the forest, he could only think of one thing; We're so far away from Mama now. Dropping his head, a deeply pained expression overcame his small face. She really is gone When the group stopped and began to talk again his eyes began to flutter as he fought the darkness of sleep.
(When we're done here should I make a topic in the camp, or do one of you want to do it?) ______________________________________ |
