4. Chapter 1 Part 2

Apparently I got LongKit and VoleKit, which you can see... LongKit is ShadowClan, while VoleKit is River. Whelp.

VoleKit trembled as he searched around the forest, a chill running down his back. His paws felt numb. "Mama?" He cried. "Dad?" The scent of RiverClan flooded his nostrils, him having no more strength to run away.

The abandoned kit ears pricked as he heard faint noises of RiverClan cats. "Can you scent anything?" One mewed to a smaller cat. The small apprentice raised his head, opening his mouth slightly as he tasted the air. "Vole, rabbit..." The smaller cats expression changed. "ThunderClan cat!" "What?" The RiverClan cat exclaimed, spinning around to see the small kit. "A kit.." The RiverClan cats neck hairs settled. "It looks abandonded." The smaller one observed, looking at the kits scratches. "Leave it to die," The larger one spat, his fur bristling. "It looks hurt. We should at least get it to the med." The apprentice objected, curling her lips though no snarl came. "Fine." The larger one growled. The warrior picked LongKit by the scruff, the kit squealing with distress along the way.

The scent of RiverClan grew as the abandonded kit neared. He was carried to a den. "FallenStar, I found a abandonded kit." The warrior meowed with a mouthful of fur. FallenStar spun around as she saw the kit hanging from the scruff. The RiverClan leader sniffed the kit. "It's a ThunderClan kit!" She spat, turning away with disgust. "It was abandonded," The apprentice objected softly. The RiverClan leader huffed. "Whatever, we'll keep the kit." She growled. "Who is the kit from anyway?" FallenStar asked, her gaze softening slightly. "I don't know," the warrior grunted, sniffing the kit. The RiverClan leader cocked her head a bit, her expression slowly changing as she figured it out.

"This kit..." FallenStar pointed her tail to the kit. "Is from HalfHeart and StoneJaw!" The leader growled. The apprentice objected, "I bet the kit hardly knows the parents, let it stay." "Stay out of this, BlossomPaw." FallenStar drew back his lips as she snarled. BlossomPaw slipped out of the Leaders den, anger and sadness flashing in her eyes. "She has a point," The mentor agreed as his apprentice left. "Fine, leave the kit. But don't come crying to me if its a traitor." FallenStar grunted. "Now, HawkBlaze, I want you out of the den with the kit." The RiverClan leader ordered. "Yes, FallenStar." HawkBlaze sighed as he picked up the kit, only to find it wailing again.

The large warrior padded to the Nursery, HoneyHeart giving a tired smile to HawkBlaze. "Hi, HoneyHeart." HawkBlaze meowed in greeting as he caught the scent of her kits. "Shh! Their sleeping!" The RiverClan queen snapped, pointing her tail to her kits. HawkBlaze held in a groan."Now, what is that poor kit hanging from the scruff?" HoneyHeart asked with concern. "You see, we found this kit near our territory, so we took it in." The warrior explained, letting the kit down in the moss to look around. "I see, and you want me to take care of it because I'm the only queen?" HoneyHeart meowed. HawkBlaze nodded slowly. "Yes. Will you?" He urged. "Of course I will!" The queen purred, licking the kit. "I will care for him like he is my own." "What's your name, little one?" The queen asked, her gaze soft. "VoleKit!" The kit squealed. "Welcome, VoleKit." HoneyHeart meowed. "Now, get out," Ordered HoneyHeart to HawkBlaze. HawkBlaze bit his lip, trying to hold in a hiss. He flicked his tail, trotting away from the Nursery.
