Lost within Danger

Deep within the forest where trees hide the dark and gloomy sky, and only through cracks could you see the moon's ray shin upon the cold grass. Lay a kit, a runt, that shivered from the chilly winds that blew through her silk coat. The slight annoying whistling sound she heard ever so often was in fact the wind, but she could not be sure. There was no warmth, for that she knew she was alone. There was no smell of any animal, but could there be an animal without a scent? She had come into this world, and yet she knew nothing of her surroundings.

Every corner, danger was near. So Foxkit whimpered and whinnied for a mother that could take her in her loving care. As minutes felt like hours Foxkit grew colder, causing her to shiver to no end. Her cries grew louder, and louder but in return only echoed through the emptiness of the Shadow Forest.

(I'm sorry if I got the Seasons wrong, I'm not to sure what season it is on here ^^;)

Without sight, Foxkit could not see anything, but she could hear and even smell and unfamiliar scent. Having no idea what it was she continued to cry for a mother, any mother to warm her from the deathning cold, and take her as far as possible away from this dreadful place. As the rustles of the long grass comes closer to her, Foxkit goes silent. Not a sound, not even a movement. Every inch of her body goes dead. Her ears as high as the sky listen close to what has approached her.

She feels a set of another cats fur brush against hers, and the warmth from the cats body begins to curl around her own tiny one. She can feel a heart beat against her back where this female-cat's heart lies, beating warmly behind her. Foxkit begins to purr, as she sniffs for any smell of milk.

Many other smells came around her, as if she is being surrounded. In her very weak state, Foxkit had no idea what she could do. She was protected by this female-cat, but could she trust her? Having no other resorts, Foxkit meowed helplessly as she attends to move herself in the protection of the female's coat. Quickly she caught scent of the milk, and she begins to crawl towards the smell, without having a care in the world about whats behind her. The hunger she had only increased over time, causing her to want what she needed most.

She can hear the voices of the other 2 cats that approached, but Foxkit had one goal in mind aside from the sounds that surrounded her well being. She needed milk, her hunger was only increasing the more the milk smell filled her nostrils. Until suddenly she was lifted from the ground by the scruff. She let herself hang, but she didn't do nothing. Foxkit continued to meow for the milk that the mother carried within her. Until she was put down onto a soft and warm bedding, Foxkit stopped. Her ears perked up listening to her new surrounding.

There were other kits near her, one in which brushed up against her silk coat while speaking to her. "It'll be ok.. My mommy is a good mommy." Foxkit let out a purr of acknowledgement then continued onto her journey of the scent of milk.

With a sudden paw being pressed against her back, Foxkit dug her claws into the soft bedding in order to stop herself from moving. She had no idea where she was going, but the scent of the milk flowing into her nostrils more gave her an idea. When she came to a sudden stop, it took her a moment to gather where she was located. She knew she had not moved from the bedding, for that her paws still felt comfortable pressed up against the moss. Although, she knew she moved somewhere, but couldn't quite figure out where.

"Cloverkit don't force her to eat ok?" The gentle voice of the mother filled into Foxkits ears. The paw that was pressed up against her was Cloverkit, her sister. She purred happily in knowing her sisters name, but not shortly afterwards she heard another voice. "Sorry mama..." Foxkit was sure now, that was Clovekit's voice. "Im sorry.." Her sister brushed up against Foxkit's silk fur. Hearing the apology Foxkit let out a tiny squeak, of her trying to speak. Foxkit was still too young to speak, but each word others spoke she understood.

Gathering the scent of milk once more Foxkit decided it was time to call for help, for now she wasn't exactly sure where she was. Letting out a helpless meow, Foxkit called for someones help to show her the way she could not see.

After calling out for help, the mother answered her calls and brought her closer to the milk. It seemed as if she wasn't to far from the milk now. Foxkit heard the mother's conversation, but had not believed it was for her, so she continued towards the milk scent trail in which she followed. With her tiny paws and small legs, she wobbled her way towards the milk, crawling against the soft bedded floor that brushed her belly. Only shortly after most of the chatter, she heard something that helped her with where she was going.

"Come on just walk straight and you'll be able to eat." Clovekits voice filled the air around her. With her guidance she continued to crawl against the ground until she found the milk. Grabbing on, she started to suckle.

Once the milk has filled her stomach, Foxkit stopped. She backed up a small bit before realizing sleep has over come the her. She wrapped her tail around her body, pressed gently up to her mother. This was her new home, her new family. She loves her mother and sister dearly, even her brother. They rescued her from the darkest pits of the dangerous forest where she was left. Although Foxkit can not understand why her Mother left her there as well as Cloverkit, and her mystery brother.

However, they brought her back to her home, where she now falls asleep into the arms of her mother. Comforted by her siblings and Clanmates that soon she will see.
