Shadowkit curled up under a bush near the fresh-kill pile. He stayed there, not bothering to come out. Yesterday, he followed his mommy out of the camp. He wondered where she was going at night and was curious. He made it to five trees, not knowing what it was yet and sees her talking to another cat. He didn't know who the other cat was or from where. He took a step and a branch broke. His mommy probably heard him and found him. After she yelled at him and walked back to camp, he laid down in the back of the nursery, not hungry. He woke up early this morning before any of the other cats woke up and laid undewr the bush he is now curled up under. He thought that if he stayed away from his mommy for a while, she might forget about him leaving the camp. She was still mad at him last night nad isnt sure if she still is. He curled up tighter and curled his tail around him. He satrted to shiver from the cold air of Leaffall and from no other warmth. He started to cry to himself silently, wishing that he never ventured out of the camp.

The warrior had heard small footsteps and he had to see what it was, Forestshadow's green eyes saw the small shape of Shadowkit. ''Shadowkit.. what are you doing!?'', the tom was worried for the kit being out here all alone in the cold, so he walked close and wrapped his body around the young one, wondering where Nightstrike was. |

Shadowkit sniffed and looked up at the tom. His blue eyes like glass and tears falling down his cheeks. "I-I followed mommy into the forest cause i didnt know where she was going. S-she saw me and yelled at me. A-and now she probably hates me..." He said as he sniffed and let more tears fall. He didnt mean to make mommy mad at him, he just wanted to be with her. Hes scared that she might want him anymore and take him out of clan to fend on his own.

The medicine cat, Ivypool, had been very busy lately, gathering herbs and such. She was always busy nowadays, yet deep down, she knew her faith in Starclan was fading. She knew that if she lost belief... She didn't really know what would happen. It was like she was in dangerous waters that crashed over her head, unforgiving waters. The gold tabby she-cat shuddered at the thoughts and quickly shook it off. She couldn't think about that now! Annoyed with herself, she got up, stretching, before padding from the dark shadowy den she slept in, blinking to waken herself up despite she was working overtime, constantly working to keep the clan up despite they where more like a band of Loners or Rogues, due to their low numbers. But she still had hope that they all would grow Ivyclan. She raised her head slowly, her mis-matched gaze flickering around the clearing. The first thing she noticed was Shadowkit, coiled up on the ground beneath a huge leaf, trembling and whimpering.
In secounds her instincts kicked in, her mind narrowed as she nearly ran forward, but a sudden cold burst of wind struck her, jolting her by the sharpness and the strange scents hat came with it. She blinked and shook herself, noticing Forestshadow appear from the Warrior's Den. He had seen the kit as well. She flicked her tail. At least she would have some help if it was needed. She padded forward again, her eyes on the warrior and kit as the kit was suddenly surrounded by the probally warm body of Forestshadow. As she approached, she heard Shadowkit's whimpering, saying something like his mother hated him. She blinked in surprise. hy would the kit think that? But Ivypool had totally missed it when the kit had told the older warrior what had happened. She stopped beside the two and sat down beside both, calmly watching the kit in silence, but also hoping her was alright.
She laid her tail on the kit gently, trying to comfort him. "It's alright... Listen to me Shadowkit, your mother never will hate you... Can you tell me why you think she hates you? Bu trust me, she'll never hate you for anything to you, and I bet she loves you very, very much, and she would be worried if anything happened to you," she spoke calmly yet gently, almost as if she where Nightsrike herself. Well, it was true, she knew Nightstrike very well. She'd have to contact the warrior later and ask a few questions that she didn't trust asking to others. She curled her tail back over her paws silently, her mis-matched eyes looking at the trmebling kit before they looked at Forestshadow. Oddly, she felt her fur blush, so instead she looked back at the trembling form beside him. Why do I feel embarassed around Forestshadow? It's not like I love him or anything, but I do trust him... Gah, stupid thoughts... she shook her head, her head becoming a blur before she stopped, blinking as she kept her eyes on Shadowkit, but she so badly wanted to look at Forestshadow instead, but she refrained herself as she waited for the kit's reply. |

Shadowkit sniffed again when the medicine cat spoke to him. "I-I followed mommy into the woods because i didnt know where she was going. S-she heard me and started to yell at me..." He said sadly as he looked up at Ivypool with tear stained eyes. He wished that he nevered followed his mommy but he was curious and always wanted to be with her.

Forestshadow was not a she cat, he did not know what to say, all he could do was lick the little toms ears and wonder what on earth Nightstrike had said to the young kit to make him so upset. But the sounds of larger more feminine paw steps, the green eyes tom looked up. The medicine cat Ivypool had seen the sad kit, she was here to help, so Forest moved over ad dipped his head to the medicine cat, he knew she would do a much better job at this.
But the words the small kit was saying was making him confused, the tom tilted his head, ''She will never hate you, she is your mom, she will love you to her death.. But what did you see to make her mad little Shadowkit?''. The tom sat back down his tail curled around his large tabby paws, the tom had no idea why poor Shadowkit was upset. But it must have been something truly bad. A leaf started to fall though, it was red, fluttered back and forth, it was beautiful, and as it landed, the leaf fell right in front of the kit. Forestshadow gasped, it was so beautiful. |

Shadowkit looked up at Forestshadow then looks back down. "A-all i remeber was that i was hearing voices but when i was going to look out from the bush, i stepped on a twig, breaking it. The voices stoped then thats when mommy found me nad started to yell at me..." He said sadly as he looked down.

Ivypool paused for a few secounds, listening to the kit as he spoke again, saying he had followed his mother into the fores when she had been talking to some other cat and that she had started yelling at him. She kept silent to herself for a few minutes, her mis- matched deep ocean blue and forest green eyes focused on her paws. A spear of panic stabbed into her heart, making her throat tighten with strain. Nightstrike... had been with... another cat...? Her mind was spinning like a whirlwind, making her feel sick as her stomach twisted uncomfortably. Nightsttrike could have been meeting another male from a different clan, or a loner. But she didn't voice her thoughts, she kept quiet as usual, for if she said these things, she would frighten Shadowkit, and as a secound thing, the kit was far too young to know things such as this. She finally drew herself from her thoughts and looked up, but her eyes caught sight of the beautiful leaf floating down. It landed in front of the kit, and her gaze remained locked on the leaf, inches from her feet. She heard Forestshadow gasp, and flicked his paw with her tail tip, gently, but the flick could mean anything. She looked back at Shadowkit, who was staring at the ground sadly. "Hey... It's not your fault, you only wanted to be with your mother," she said gently as she touched her nose to the kit's head before sitting back to her original position, glancing at Forestshadow, and her heart bet slightly faster. What the...? she hought irritatedly, but her face showed no emotion but concern for the kit, but her insides screamed at her to talk to Forestshadow alone. |

Shadowkit sniffed as he looked up at the two older cats. "C-Can you two please leave me alone?" He asked as he looked at them. When they left, he quietly snuck over to the camp's entrance without being spotted. He stopped and looked towards the nursery with sad eyes. Ears folded down, tail down and tears falling, he looked down and walked out the camp. He still thinks that his mommy hated him now. Not looking at where he was going, he continued to walk, tears still sliding down his damp cheeks. He stopped and looks at a tree with a hole under it nad supported by roots. He slowly crawled into the hole under the tree and curls up slightly. He remembered this place. This was where his new mommy first found him alone and abanded. He was able to smell a very slight scent of when he was weak and hungry and of his mommy's scent. He covered his face with his tail and cried silently.

Nightstrike was looking frantically for her kit, he was nowhere to be seen, and then she spotted Forestshadow. "Forestshadow! Have you seen Shadowkit? I can't find him anywhere! What is a fox got him?" She asked, eyes showing just how scared she was for her kit. She was so worried, she felt guilty for what she said to him last night, she just wanted her kit back, she wanted a peice of normality in her life, which was turning out to be too scattered and hectic for even her.

The tom walked away as the kit asked him to go, but as usually Nightstrike was now having a spaz, well like nay mother would with her child, he looked up at her, his big green eyes shocked. ''I was just talking to him over there'', the tom pointed to the spot the small kit was curled as he and Ivypool talked, but it seemed as if he had gone. ''Do you need help looking?''.

Nightstrike's eyes narrowed, she was worried and scared and many other thingsd all at once, and her proper reaction was to strike out. "Of course I need help! Would I be here if I didn't?! Come on!" She hised, and turned, following her kit's scent out of the camp, so worried her fur was almost falling out.

Shadowkit sniffed as he curled up as tight as he could in the small den under the tree. Eyes hurting from the tears, he heard his stomach growl. He let more tears fall as he curled up somemore. He just wanted his mommy happy again, even if it means him leaving her.

Nightstrike padded out, she remembered this place, where she first found Shadowkit. "Shadowkit?" She meowed out nervously, what if a badger got him, or a fox, or a howk? she'd never forgive herself!
