    ((Fawn's real litter has been born in character, once I age them two weeks I'll give you the thread cause right now they're newborns and Shinekit didn't enter the group until they were a week old but I'm going to skip straight from newborn to two weeks I think.))


    Peering in, Hollykit noticed both her mother and Fawntail looking pretty frantic. Her mother hopped to her paws, running over to her. Fawntail followed. "Where were you? Where's your brother?" the queen mewed, delivering frantic licks to the body of her daughter.


    "Where's Shinekit? Is she with you?" Fawntail butted in, pushing her way past Hollykit's mother. Hollykit looked around - she had been sure that Shinekit had returned here... Where else would she have gone?


    "Uh, Oakkit's in the medicine cat den... We went out on an adventure and he saved me from the water but he fell over the waterfall..." Hollykit's voice cracked as she spoke, and her eyes stayed on her paws instead of looking at her mother. "Shinekit came with us, but she was fine. The medicine cat kept telling her to stop being rude but she wouldn't so the medicine cat accidentally snapped at her and she ran out... I thought she came here..."


    Fawntail's eyes went wide. "I need to go find my kit. Can you watch my litter, Brindlefoot?"

    Shinekit made it to the falls "this is where I almost died but this time I will die" she said crying just sitting there looking into the falls


    ((Ok that's fine))

    ((I'll let you know when that happens ^^ For that thread, it would be about a week ahead of where this thread is, given that the kits in that thread are two weeks instead of one like here.))


    Fawntail, the mother in her heavily active, caught on to Shinekit's scent trail. She raced towards the kitten, following her scent to the gorge. Her eyes went wide when she saw Shinekit sitting on the edge. "Darling, what's wrong?" She asked, stepping lightly towards Shinekit and then sitting beside her.

    "No one wants me here" she said crying "its all my fault I should have said lets go back when he asked me if I still wanted to go but I said no because I didn't want to dissapoint him so I went ahead and went" she said " if I would have just died then no of this would have happened" she said "ill just end the pain for everyone e right now so no one else suffers" she said "o-oakkit I-I think he loved me and I loved him too but hollykit had to come here" she said still crying

    "That is not true," Fawntail said simply, wrapping her tail around Shinekit protectively. "Bad things happen, and cats make choices they shouldn't. It's called a mistake, and you can't do anything but learn from it and do your best not to do it again. Everyone does things they feel like they shouldn't have. It's called regret, and it's an emotion that you start to feel a lot of as you grow older if you don't control it."


    Fawntail picked Shinekit up by the scruff and placed her between her front legs. Resting her chin on the top of Shinekit's head, the queen spoke again. "No good will come out of you dying. Berrystep saved you, the medicine cat's work, Hollykit and Oakkit. Me. Your little siblings will never get to meet you."

    "If Oakkit dies, if and only if, you will see him one day in StarClan." Fawntail mewed to her. "You would not be the cause of his death, an accident involving the waterfall would be. But we have a good medicine cat, and she will do everything that she can to save his life."


    ((So the kits have been timeskipped to two weeks. The thread is here and it takes place a week after this thread. Welcome to Fawntail's official litter!))

    "Are you going to be okay?" Fawntail asked Shinekit, her chin still on the kit's head.

    "Then can we go back o the camp?" Fawnleaf mewed, removing her head from atop of Shinekit's. Eyes shining, she gazed at the smaller cat in front of her with an immense amount of appreciation. Fawnleaf could relax knowing that the problems that her adopted kit was facing weren't as bad anymore, that she had potentially saved Shinekit from doing something very reckless[/i] and very risky - so much as to be a death wish, with how the kit had been acting.

    "Once we reach camp, I'll get a nice big rabbit and we can share it." Fawntail mewed to Shinekit. "Come on," she prodded, using her tail to nudge Shinekit back in the direction of the camp.

    "Kits do things that they shouldn't," Fawntail stated simply, shrugging it off. "You're just starting life and because of that you're starting to feel a lot of new emotions, and that range of emotions will increase even more as you age. They're complicated things, and you don't know how to handle them just yet - but please never run off like that again."

    Fawntail purred as they reached the camp, and she grabbed the plumpest rabbit from the freshkill pile before walking back in to the nursery. Hollykit and her mother were absolutely nowhere to be seen.
