Dedicated to I-really-hope-not!
'Rowankit! Open your eyes, please.'
The voice belonged to Fallowwing, the mother of the kits that had been stolen a few days before. 'You should take him to Heatherbloom, ay?' Harefoot mewed from beside her. 'What's wrong mommy?' a small voice from behind them mewed.
Fallowwing jumped, she hadn't heard Lightkit come up behind her. 'It's fine Lightkit, its just Rowankit still hasn't opened his eyes yet. We're taking him to Heatherbloom.'
'Row-wankit? Can yo-ou open your eyes for mommy?' Lightkit squeaked, squeezing infront of Fallowwing and Harefoot, looking down at her brother.
Harefoot chuckled, shuffling backwards to give her more room.
Lightkit licked Fallowwing's flank and left to the nest behind them, snuggling up to her other siblings.
Fallowwing picked up Rowankit gently by the scruff and left out to the cold, heading for the medicine cat den.
'Heatherbloom? Can you look Rowankit over? I understand you're busy, but I'm worried that something is wrong.' Fallowwing mummered as she set Rowankit down in a nest.
Heatherbloom stepped out from behind a rock wall, smelling herbs.
'Its fine Fallowwing! Its normal to be worried about your kits...' Heatherbloom trailed off, seeing the tiny kitten in the nest. 'Why is Rowankit so tiny?' Heatherbloom rushed over to the nest, nuzzling the small kit, who looked like he was only a few days old.
'Pebblesong looked him over a few sunrises ago, I thought he told you?' Fallowwing mewed, question in her mew. 'He did, but I thought he meant that Rowankit was just a small kit! But he never said that he looked like he was just born!'
Heatherbloom nudged Falowwing out of the way and started sniffing all over Rowankit.
'Okay, bring him back to the nursery, and bring me Larkstar.' Heatherbloom mewed, sitting back. 'Wait, what's wrong?' Fallowwing stood up, glancing at Rowankit worridly.
'Just... Go get him Fallowwing.' Heatherbloom repeated. heading back to the herb cave.
Fallowwing darted across the rock covered clearing, bounding from boulder to boulder.
Untill she reached a hole in the ground, more like a cave actually.
'Larkstar! Heatherbloom needs you! Quick!'
Fallowwing yowled as she burst into the den.
Except it was empty. 'Fallowwing? What's wrong?' Fallowwing whirled around. Larkstar was standing at the entrance, concern in his eyes.
'Just go to Heatherbloom, she needs you.' Fallowwing panted, pushing past Larkstar to go retrieve her kit.
Only She was sent off without him.
This was a short chapter I know, but I'll try to upload every Monday.
