Chapter 4
She was lost. She was lost and she knew it. 'I need to find someone or I'm dead. I can't survive a whole day and night out here! What if a fox or badger finds me? I can't fight it off!' She took a deep breath 'ok Frostkit calm down, you're ok right now. Just focus on getting back to camp.'
"Are you lost, little one?" She heard a voice behind her. Frostkit whipped around very frightened.
"Who are you?" She stammered out, trying not to sound afraid. She didn't recognize this cat. She had never seen them before ever. 'Have I crossed the border into another clan's territory by accident?' She thought to herself.
"I'm Yellowfang, a Shadowclan medicine cat from long ago. Do you need help getting back to your camp?" She meowed back. 'Yellowfang. She was sure she had heard that name before. Either way, she felt like she trusted Yellowfang even if she had never met her before. She knew she had to get back to camp one way or another and they didn't seem to be anyone else around.'
"Actually I was just taking a walk but a walking partner would be nice." She said. 'She knew that wasn't true but she had to be cautious. She didn't know this cat even if she felt like she trusted her.'
"Whatever you say Frostkit." Yellowfang purred back. Frostkit was started and started backing away.
"I don't believe I told you my name was Frostkit." She stammered back, frightened.
"Don't worry, it's nothing to be afraid of, I've been watching over you for a long time little one, now let's get you back to camp before it gets dark." Yellowfang calmly replied. Frostkit knew that she had to get back to camp so she started following this strange cat. Soon they reached the camp again.
"You should probably go Yellowfang, my clanmates won't be very happy to see a strange cat with me." Frostkit meowed.
"Of course little one. I'll be seeing you soon." Yellowfang purred back. Frostkit was a little startled about this remark, after all, she didn't even know who Yellowfang was. Still, she walked back into camp. The second she walked into the clearing, her mother ran towards her a covered her in swift licks.
"Oh my goodness, where have you been? I was so worried!" Her mother said.
" I got lost but a nice cat called Yellowfang helped me get home." Frostkit replied. Her mother started backing away.
"Did you just say Yellowfang?" Her mother said, very startled. "Come on, we're going to the medicine cat" her mother said harshly. Frostkit was very confused, what happened? She thought to herself. She walked behind her mother and padded towards the medicine cat den. She listened to her mother and Swiftbreeze talk in hushed whispers, occasionally glancing over at Frostkit. What was going on? Was there something wrong with her?
