Shadowkit's Pov

I had begun to grow tired. My muscles had screamed in agony for a long time- before they eventually grew numb. My light grey eyes had lost the determined shine by now, I was just walking because I didn't want to die lying down.

My paw slipped and I fell onto a sharp rock. I didn't feel it but I saw the scarlet droplets land on the ground by my feet.

I couldn't bring myself to care.

A full blown blizzard had begun and the sharp wind blew the freezing flakes in my face causing me to narrow my eyes. Then I heard something- a small tiny voice screaming for help.

With renewed energy I raced toward the sound blowing snow and blood behind me as I struggled to run swiftly on numb paws.

I saw a kit my age was struggling to keep hold of slippery ice with sharp claws, his body was emerged in freezing cold water. His bright blue eyes began to drift closed as his black paws slipped off the ice and the rest of his body emerged in the deadly cold water.

I jolted into action, jumping onto the thin ice quickly and diving into the freezing water. My light grey eyes searched desperately under the water for the tom's dark pelt. There- I saw him.

His pelt was Pitch Black with shining silver tabby stripes snaking across it. I swam over to him and grabbed ahold of the scruff of him neck, my strong but tiny back leg muscles dragging him toward the surface as the edges of my vision grew dark.

I burst to the surface gasping for air. I scrambled onto the thin ice and dragged him to shore.

I put a paw on his neck to see if there was a pulse- only to find that I still couldn't feel anything. I narrowed my eyes looking for soft rising on his chest. It heaved and water dribbled out of the corner of his mouth.

I knew that there was no time to wait for him to wake- so i started walking in one direction calling "HELP SOMEONE HELP" Even if I was a loner maybe he had a clan or a family. I dragged him and screamed until my throat closed up. I continued in silence dragging his limp body as mine grew more and more tired and slow.

I wanted to close my eyes let the world fade away, Eventually my legs just gave out and I collapsed.

I didn't feel my pure black body hit the ground or realize that my light grey eyes had slid closed. I didn't notice the stirring on the tom beside me.

All I knew was darkness

Darkkit Pov

I woke to freezeing cold. I'd never been so cold before. Especially the left side of me, But why is my left side colder than the rest of me- wait why am I cold at all?

Then I remembered- the deputy's cold blue eyes as his powerful muscles threw me onto thin ice. The feeling of despair when my claws slipped and I tumbled into the freezeing water, his face being the last one I ever saw… But I'm alive, how is that possible.

My bright blue eyes slid open and my gaze shifted to the left to see why I was colder on that side.

A tiny black she-kit lay limp beside me. She looked about my age though was a lot smaller. She was on her side buried half-way in the snow- a thin layer of snow already covered her fur. My eyes widened when I realized that this kit must have saved me.

I started liking the snow off her fur, "Come on, Wake up, Wake up"

She didn't stir but her chest moved up and down unevenly. I could hear her ragged breath- and see it.

Then her eyes opened slightly. My own eyes widened in disbelief. They weren't blue or green the only colors I'd ever seen a cat with. They were a light grey with split inky black pupils.

She stood and I jumped backward still staring at her in disbelief especially when I saw then a small glossy half-tail wrapped around her paws.

"Uh… Hello" she said awkwardly. I shook my head to clear it, "Come on it's cold let's go to Frostclan"

I tried not to think of how the deputy would react when he learned that I hadn't died- and had brought a loner/different-clan cat. I didn't know which.

Her whole body tensed and she took a hesitant step backward. Then I noticed a puddle of blood by her feet.

"You're bleeding" I hissed in surprise and took a step forward.

She retreated another step and bared sharp fangs.

"If I was going to hurt you I would have when you were asleep"

She nodded, "I'm fine, let's just get out of this cold"

She was shivering violently, much more violently than me. "Lean on me, We are almost there"

She gave me a sideways glance of surprise. I rolled my eyes and she smiled a half smile. She leaned slightly against me and her wet fur brushed mine. It felt like Electricity flowing through me. I forced my gaze straight and walked forward the tiny she-kit by my side.

"My name's Darkkit, what's Yours?" I asked.

She seemed to consider it.

"My name's Shadow"

Yay it looks like our little Shadowkit is now called Shadow and she met a friend. Yay. She's not a loner- and it looks like she will survive. Yay. Shadow.
