A new son!!

"I-i was hunting, and I smelled her." she said softly, nodding cautiously towards Shadowheart. "I knew she was friendly to me, so I went towards the smell. And I was her being taken away.....and I was curious to see where. I was gonna sit and keep her company." She finished, her big grey eyes looking up at Tanglestar now. It wasn't defiance and fiestyness that shone through now. It was fear. She truly believed that the she-cat would hurt her...or even worse.. kill her. She had no clue of her fate, or her heritage. For all she knew, she was nothing more than a scrap of fur that had no place in this world.

[Tanglekit]

Tanglestar's eyes narrowed in frustration. What did Moonshine want her to do with this pathetic little scrap of fur. She was not making any ideas of revenge easier because she hadn't known where she had come from. But maybe that would make the brainwash that much easier. Maybe they would be able to train her here as their own. But who could they claim as her mother? Who did they have that had kits Moonkit's age. None came to mind so she would have to improvise. "Moonkit how old where you when you first remember being in Shadowclan?", she asked her mind reeling in a new direction. They would train her here and make her the absolute best weapon against Dirtfur. If she looked like Moonshine then she could get in some wounds that no other cat could. Wounds of the heart. Dirtfur knew her and he would be looking for her but for now they would have to train her to hate every single fiber of Shadowclan.

Moonkit thought for a second, her eyes narrowed in concentration. "Three? I think it was three. Cuz I"m four now, and i only spended a few days there." She said finally, looking a little less confused. She was still uncertain as to her fate here, and she could only wonder what they were going to do with her.

The elder, KestralSpot, started to pad out of the elder's den. He was moving rather slow, but when he saw the young kit frightened almost to death, he couldn't help but move a bit faster.

He then sat down next to MoonKit, and purred soothingly, giving her a few licks upon the head.

"It's okay, young one."

He mew'd comfortingly, gripping the bundle of fur between his teeth gently and then setting MoonKit in between his shoulder-blades. She may or may not feel weird, for he has no fur of course, either way, he was trying to be kind.

"We're not gonna hurt ya'."

The elder croaked.

[Tanglekit]

Tanglestar's lips twitched when she saw Kestralspot comfort the kit. She was weaving up a story in her head that might help the little kit to wanna stay. Bit this story was false and if even the slightest of cats disagreed or spoke out she would be lost to Dirtfur. "Would you like to live here Moonkit? In your rightful home?", she asked looking warily from the kit to her clan a bit of pleading in her eyes.

[Deleted]

Moonkit looked at Tanglestar levelly from between the Elder's shoulder blades. "I would like that alot..." She said softly. Her little ears flickered. Somehow, somewhere, she knew that this was where she belonged.

[Tanglekit]

Tanglestar leaned down and licked the little kitsnhead gently. "Very well then. We will have to find you a mother. We have two nursing queens, Mousefur and Mangoleaf you may pick one of them.", she purred wrapping her tail more tightly around Tumblekit.

[Deleted]

Moonkit nodded, her grey eyes slowly losing their fear. Her little tail flicked back and forth, curiosity filling her brains. "What do you want me to do now?" she asked. She wouldn't be much of a leader until she was older. Only a follower until she was a Warrior.

KestralSpot looked at TangleStar, not sure what to think. It was obvious that she was at ShadowClan before for she had that disgusting scent on her beautiful pelt. Oh, he did notice that Moonkit did look like MoonShine, but that wasn't a right for TangleStar to sweep her up.

"Come wit' me."

He started to pad towards the nursery, well aware that MoonKit was still on his shoulders. It didn't bug him, for he liked kits, and she wasn't that old, so she was quite light.

"Remember to com' visit the ol' one."

He chuckled mostly to himself, slowly sliding into the nursery. He gripped her scruff gently and then placed her on the ground. He gave her a friendly nuzzle.

"I will." She said whenever he asked her to always come back to visit him. She froze up whenever he picked her up but loosened up whenever he set her back down. She flashed him a soft smile, her little grey eyes curious.

--

Turtlekit looked up from where she was curled up beside her mother. She heard voices, and the young she-kit was curious. Her eyes opened, her little bobtail flicking back and forth. "Momma. Look who's here." She purred, nudging her mothers side.

What Happens Next?

Sunflash had been observing quietly away from his Clanmates. He was thinking it all over. It could be valuable to having this kit in ThunderClan. It would certainly make things difficult with ShadowClan if they were to find out, but it would be ThunderClan that had the key over their heads- Moonkit. The golden tom padded over, closer now to the other cats, and sat beside Tanglestar as he watched Kestralspot carry the foundling toward the nursery. "Are you going to say anything about her at the Gathering? ShadowClan must notice that she's missing."

What's This?

Mousekit came padding around his mother and stood next to his sister, his eyes ducked but a smile on his face. A new kit! "Hi," he mewed sotly. As he drew closer, however, a foul new scent reached his little nose. It wrinkled up on his face and glanced a Moonkit, puzzled. "Um, why do you smell funny?" he asked timidly.

[Tanglekit]

Tanglestar nodded not really sure what she was going to do. "I am not sure Sunflash! All I can do is announce that she came into our camp willingly. Shadowheart on the other paw is another matter.", she sighed leaning into Sunflash. She loved him very much. He had been her greatest motivation to return when she felt the ideas of wanting to remain with Starclan filling her head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mousefur smiled when she felt her kits excitement. They had plenty of siblings to play with but they had never had play-mates that she had approved of. Mangoleaf's kits were part Shadowclan and at least three-fourths loner. They had the smell of death over them and poor Fallingkit had gone missing from the nursery as well. She would avoid the same fate for her kits if it meant staying away from Mangoleaf and her kits entirely. "She is Shadowclan?", Mousefur asked pulling her tail around her kits.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Ripplekit frowned nestling deeper into her mothers belly. "Momma, Where is Daddy?", she asked frowning. She loved her mother very much but she couldn't help pull that she felt towards Riddlehawk. She just loved her daddy more then her momma. And whenever he wasn't near she was asking about him or dreaming about how big and strong her daddy was. She was the daughter of the Thunderclan deputy and she didn't tax herself to show how proud she was.

[Deleted]

Riddlehawk padded in as soon as Ripplekit had asked her question, and as Mousefur had asked hers. "Do you see a semblance to one of our fallen in this kit?" He asked, padding over and nuzzling Mousefur, and licking Ripplekit between her ears.

-------------------------

Moonkit's ears pinned back against her skull at the young kit's question. "Cuz I stayed with another clan for a few days. And before that I didn't have a home in a clan...." she said, looking at the much younger kit with a slightly reproachful and sad look.

-----------------

Turtlekit stumbled up onto her unsteady, massive paws. She stumbled towards Moonkit carefully, maneuvering around her mother's paws. She sniffed Moonkit, her little ears perked forward. "Momma, I like her." she said, her little bobtail flicking back and forth, before padding back towards her mother and nestling in.

I'm Sorry

Mousekit's ears fell back at her look, his brown shoulders hunching over. "Oh, okay. I just wanted to know." The tom looked so awkward sitting there, pawing at the ground without looking up at the she-kit. He was very shy. "Sorry for bothering you," he murmured. Did she hate him for asking that? He hadn't meant any harm. Maybe he should have just kept his mouth shut.

Be There

Sunflash nodded and licked her cheek. "Just do whatever you think is best. It'll be fine. Whether or not she started out in ShadowClan, no cat can deny who she looks like. And as for Shadowheart," he retorted with a roll of his eyes, "ShadowClan can have her back without a fight. I didn't like the idea of having her sulking around camp."

[Tanglekit]

Mousefur let her tongue rasp over Mousekit's head. "It is alright sweetie.", she said glancing back at Moonkit when it finally hit her. "M-M-Moonshine", she whispered shrinking back away from the she-kit. Her thoughts boggled when she thought of how this could be. It was very rare for cats to look alike even if they were related, but this kit looked just like Moonshine. The resemblance was spot on and very uncanny. She curled the kits closer to her belly licking each one of them. What ever Starclan had going on here she didn't want her kits to be any part of the war that was about to sprout between Shadowclan and Thunderclan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ripplekit smiled when she saw her daddy walk into the nursery. Her sharp white teeth showed through her smile and her eyes sparkled with excitement. She always got excited when her daddy was around and she couldn't help the purr of joy that rumbled out of her chest.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tanglestar frowned not really sure what she was going to do or say. If she did bring it up at the gathering the results could be disastrous. She growled under her breath letting her whiskers quiver. Whatever she did her heart knew that she truly belonged in Thunderclan.
