8 moons passed as I was cared and treated by the female fox. When her puppies were born they accepted me as their brother. We played and trained together as mother fox taught us different things. She taught me how to stalk prey, make a den, fight, and care for my siblings. I grew to be a large Tom. Almost as big as would whip her tail in pride as I caught the largest prey and beat my brothers. My claws were extremely long and I grew to have a bushy tail like her as I groomed it like she did. I was extremely happy to be with her but that would change soon.
One day Mother fox woke me up in the middle of the night. She growled and yipped a few words which I could understand. She was telling me that it was time for me to return home. That she had done what she was supposed to and I needed to go before she couldn't let go of me anymore. I stiffened and yipped and whimpered back at her. I told her that I didn't want to leave. That the clan cats would never accept me back. she shook her head softly and told me that it had to be done. I finally nodded and accepted her words. She closed the den so nothing could harm her pups while she was gone and led me into the woods.
It took a few hours to get to the clans. And when we came to the border of Thunderclan. She looked at me sadly and nodded her head at the direction of the camp. I glanced at it. It looked familiar and I knew that this was where she had picked me up. I bowed my head in sadness. And I slowly padded forward and buried my head in her neck fur. I purred and softly head butted her. mother fox knew that this was my saying of I love you. she licked my cheek. Her eyes brimmed with tears, and with that, she turned and left.
I stood there in sadness. Sighing, I turned into the woods. I puffed out my chest and strut forward. While I was walking to the camp I thought about how big my sisters would be. My heart tightened. I wondered how much pain they must've been when I disappeared, especially Cracklekit. He must already be an apprentice by now, or possibly a warrior. I opened my mouth to taste the air and picked up a scent. It was getting closer and I could hear paw steps pounding through the forest. It was headed for me. I knew that the warriors wouldn't recognize me at first so It would be best if I didn't try to scare them. I sat down and wrapped my bushy dark grey tail around my paws. I made sure that I was not giving off any fear scent and that my face was not menacing.
They arrived and surrounded me. There were 6 of them. A good sized patrol. A medium sized tom growled furiously "Hey! What do you think your doing on Thunderclan territory mange-pelt?!" I turned to the bad mouthed cat. My eyes widened. I knew that fur coat anywhere. "Mange-pelt?" I asked mockingly. His eyes narrowed and he flexed his claws. "Yeah mouse-brain. Are you hard of hearing?!" he growled. I chuckled "I might be if you don't lower your voice". He yowled in fury and tackled me to the ground. His other clan mates yelled "Stop! Cracklepaw!" I purred in delight even though his claws pricked my skin. "Cracklepaw. Your an a apprentice I see." he jerked his head back in confusion. That's when a ginger and white she-cat grabbed him roughly by his scruff and tore him off of me. He struggled against the ginger and white she-cat until she let him go. "Let me go emberwish!" he mewed. straigtening his fur in embarresment, Cracklepaw strode forward and shoved his muzzle in my face. "How do you know me?" He growled dangerously.
I purred "How could I forget the kit that tried to save my life when I fell down that ravine?" He scrunched up his nose. "Me? Save your life? I've never seen you be…wait...ive seen you before...great starclan it cant be true! Wolfkit!" He yowled. My other clan mates stared at me with wide eyes. " It's really Wolfkit! how is he alive?" They whispered to each other.
My clan mates were so surprised to see me. They couldn't believe that I had survived an attack from the fox. Me, of course,not wanting to give my adoptive mother away, lied that I had escaped before she ate me. They led me to camp and presented me to the clan. Murmurs of surprise filled the air. everyone surrounded me, wanting me to tell my story. "hush!" someone Shouted. everyone quieted down. i looked up to see a tortoishell Tom with copper eyes and a dark gray Tom with blue eyes glaring at me. "I'll see for myself if this is really Wolfkit" the dark gray Tom growled. He lept off high rock and stomped toward me. he looked me up and down, sizing me up. Not wating to dissapoint him i puffed out my chest to make myself look nodded in approval and purred in a deep voice "it really is you my son." I bowed my head in respect "I have missed you father. But where is my mother and siblings?" His eyes brightened "oh they should be surprised to see you. They are all out on a patrol. But they should be back soon. Come and wait in wildstars den and let us share tongues." I nodded and followed my father to wwildstarsit den.
