Havenspirit's Heart - Chapter Two
Chapter Date: 4th of December

"Hello there!" Another face popped up, and shoved the black she-cat out of the way. The newcomer was a white, black and brown spotted she-cat with mismatched eyes, one blue and one green. Havenkit followed the face as it ducked down and nudged her pelt, sniffing her. Havenkit flinched away at the she-cat, and she stopped.

"Ottertail!" The black she-cat barged back in, roughly shoving the newly dubbed Ottertail to the side. The brown, black and white she-cat squawked in surprise has her companion shoved her away, and she tumbled over, falling to the ground. There was a small thump, meaning Ottertail didn't hit the ground too hard, but Havenkit, hungry and wary, grimaced and winced at the sound. Havenkit stared up to the black she-cat with the white chest, and looked on as Ottertail scrambled back up to her feet, shaking a paw.

"Look what you did!" she wined, shaking it. "It hurts!" The black she-cat in front of her shook her head.

"You're just bluffing." She turned back to Havenkit. "Hello, little one." She bent down to sniff Havenkit, but the grey and white mottled tabby flinched back, feeling the soft tip of her nose touching her head. The black she-cat's head pulled back sharply in surprised, and Havenkit shook slightly, her body trembling. Worry sparked the gaze of the she-cat as she looked at Havenkit, assessing her. Sighing, she sat down, with a small thump as her flanks hit the ground. "What's your name, kit?" she asked gently.

Havenkit didn't respond, but only watched as Ottertail padded up to a newcomer, another black cat, a pure black one this time, and start a conversation, talking loudly while the black she-cat threw glances at Havenkit, watching the first black she-cat ask Havenkit. Havenkit shivered at the sight of the second black cat's purple eyes, almost glowing, and ones that didn't contain any trace of emotion in them. A tail nudged Havenkit back, and she spun her head round to face the first black she-cat, the one with the white chest.

"What's your name?" she asked again, slightly louder this time. Havenkit edged away. Maybe... Maybe if I back out, they'll ignore me? Havenkit shied away, and scrambled backwards, getting to her paws and scampering away. A loud sigh was heard, and she heard the pattering of feet coming behind her. She soon felt jaws grasp her scruff, catching her. She plopped back down onto the ground as she faced the black she-cat again. "Look. I don't want to hurt you," she continued. "I know you're confused and scared, but I need you to tell me your name." Havenkit squeaked.

"I-it's Havenkit." She told the black she-cat. She nodded.

"Any Clan?" Havenkit shook her head.

"I-I'm not sure. I can't remember anything except my name and the events that happened today." The grey and white mottled tabby she-kit mewed, shuffling her paw in embarrassment. "I-I'm sorry." The black she-cat dipped her head to meet Havenkit's.

"It's fine, Havenkit." The black she-cat told her reassuringly and softly. "It's not your fault." She felt a tail bring her in closer, and she shuffled closer to the comforting she-cat, burying her nose into the she-cat's fur.

"W-what's your name?" Havenkit asked through the she-cat's black fur. A purr shook the she-cat and Havenkit couldn't help but purr with her.

"It's Snowheart." Havenkit nodded and pressed her nose into Snowheart's fur.

"Snowheart!" Havenkit flinched back in surprise as Ottertail called out her name. Havenkit had almost forgot that two other cats came with Snowheart. The she-cat padded toward the duo.

"Did you find out her name?" Havenkit ducked her head. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Snowheart nod. Ottertail flicked her tail, and stepped back, to reveal the other black she-cat, the one with purple eyes. Another shiver passed through her as she watched the black she-cat survey her. Her ear flicked, and Havenkit flinched. Eyes gleaming, she turned away, and beckoned to Ottertail and Snowheart to follow her.

"It's time to go back. Revenant will want to know about this." The pure black she-cat told them, facing away. Her head dipped, and Snowheart and Ottertail mewed their agreement. Snowheart turned back to Havenkit, who was staring in confusion.

"Who's Revenant?" she asked, her greenish-blue eyes growing wide. Snowheart couldn't suppress her purr of amusement, looking at the small she-cat that was half the size of her, looking like an owl.

"Revenant, dear Havenkit," Snowheart mewed. "Is the DeltaClan leader. He is the leader of our Clan, DeltaClan. The swimmers of the forest." Havenkit blinked. "Didn't your mother tell you about this, or your elders?" Immediately, the glow of content disappeared from Havenkit's eyes. Snowheart winced. "Sorry. I forgot that you can't remember." Havenkit took a deep breath and let it go.

"It…it's… fine." Havenkit looked down at her paws, white against the stark color of brown dirt of the ground. Snowheart sighed.

"Well, Havenkit," she reached down to touch her muzzle to Havenkit's grey tabby ear-tip. "Let's get you to DeltaClan, and there, we can help you with almost anything." The grey and white mottled tabby nodded, her eyes still downcast. Grasping her scruff, Snowheart heard a small gasp of surprise, from the small she-kit.

"Where are you taking me?" Havenkit whispered.

"Isn't it obvious?" Snowheart muttered around Havenkit's scruff fur. "Havenkit, we're bringing you to DeltaClan!"
