    [justify]The small red tabby she-kit mewled piteously as she crawled along the plains amongst the heather. Her eyes had opened three days ago, but her hearing wasn't great yet. She wailed effortlessly and collapsed beneath the heat of Greenleaf, her tiny heart fluttered rapidly inside her chest like a caged bird. Why didn't you want me... What did I do wrong?[/justify]

    Honeyscar padded past the kit.The scent hit her nose suddenly.She widened her eyes and turned around "Oh my gosh!!! You poor thing!!"She shrieked.She grabbed the kit by the scruff and headed for camp...

    [justify]Tenderly, the scent of the she-cat holding her hit her soft pink nose, filling the wet nostrils with the wind swept scent. A low purr entered the kits throat and she opened her eyes slowly, looking up at the she-cat who'd stopped to pick her up. "M...mama?" The kit whimpered and then her head nodded and she fell back into unconsciousness, her tiny heart slowing to a sleepy thudding.[/justify]

    Honeyscar slipped through the entrance and made her way as quietly as possible to the Back of the warriors den.She curled around the tiny kit,Letting her soft fur warm it up.She groomed it softly and then rested her head.She silently vowed to protect this kit.She would find out what happened to the kit once it had rested.

    [justify]It seemed like only moments had passed, but soon, sun high came and had gone and the camp was splashed in a field of golden red. The red tabby she-kit slowly blinked open her bleary eyes and looked about her, moving to get up. She tumbled back down with a tiny squeak and looked at the she-cat resting beside her. Interest and fear entered the she-kit. Is this my mommy? Did she come and find me at last? She mewled and nosed the she-cat's cheek gently. "Mama?" She asked pleasantly.[/justify]

    Honeyscar opened her strikingly green eyes and smiled "Oh,Good morning."She meowed.She then registered that this kit had just called her Moma.Does she not remember who her mother is? Honeyscar looked at the beautiful she-kit with sympathy.She knew how it felt to be abandoned as a kit,but she would have hated to have someone lie to her about who her mother was.Honeyscar smiled "No,I am not your mama.You are in Windclan,My name is Honeyscar"She said,with a voice as gentle and sweet as honey.That's how she got her name.With a voice as soft as Honey and a pelt as golden as it too,Her name was given to her by the leader as no queen wished to care for her.

    [justify]Tears filled the small she-kit's eyes and she looked down, "So... she didn't come back for me." She whispered, thinking the older she-cat wouldn't hear her. It dawned on her that the she-cat had called herself Honeyscar. The kit blinked and admired the she-cat's fur, she hadn't yet been named but she thought carefully and looked at her own fur. She'd heard tales about clan cats naming their kits with 'kit behind their name, so she opted for that. "I'm... uhm... Honeykit!" She squeaked proudly, proud she'd given herself an awesome name. It might've been borrowed from this beautiful golden she-cat but she didn't care. She now had a name.[/justify]

    Honeyscar smiled warmly."It suits you perfectly."The she-cat said.she already admired Honeykit's independence.She smiled and wondered why a cat would desert such a sweet, beautiful kit.Her huge sapphire eyes were warm and inviting."Honeykit,Do you know where you came from?'She asked gently.

    [justify]Honeykit thought for a moment, confusion swarming in her pretty eyes. She frowned slowly and shook her head, "No, the only thing I can remember is the plains... though... there was a golden tom cat. He told me that my momma would come and get me when she was able, and to wait for her there." She looked up at the she-cat and blinked her alice blue eyes.[/justify]

    Honeyscar nodded "I understand.Well,welcome to Windclan Honeykit."She bowed her head and touched noses with the kit

    [justify]Honeykit smiled but looked a little confused, she touched noses back with the she-cat slowly, uncertain. "Thank you?" She spoke softly, her voice tilting towards a small hint of curiosity. "Honeyscar?" She asked casually, "What's Windclan?" The kit definately had a lot to learn.[/justify]

    Honeyscar thought for a moment."Well Honeykit,we're a family.We protect each other and provide for each other and although sometimes we argue,we always stick together.There's a deeper meaning to it,But you can only ever find that real meaning by yourself.'She explained.

    [justify]Honeykit thought about her foster mother's answer slowly and blinked her eyes. Suddenly, her stomach growled and she looked down at it in amazement. She hadn't heard that sound in a long time, not since she'd found that dead bird buried under a pile of leaves. She looked up at her foster mother in terror, "My stomachs talking again, Honeyscar!" She wailed softly and looked back down at the soft red tabby fur of her underbelly. She had rolled on her back so she could get a better look at it.[/justify]

    Honeyscar giggled "C'mon kiddo,Let's go to the fresh-kill pile.That's where all the warriors and apprentices who hunt put their prey.You can choose anything you want from there to eat"She said

    [justify]Squealing in delight, Honeykit followed Honeyscar into the camp towards the freshkill pile. At the prospect of food, her little belly had stopped growling. Anything I want![/size]

    Honeyscar giggled and lead her to the fresh-kill pile.as usual,It was full of freshly killed fish,mice,voles,birds and much more.She looked at Honeykit "Go ahead,you can have whatever you want"She meowed and picked out a plump vole for herself.

    [justify]Honeykit picked up a small gray mouse and skipped beside Honeyscar to go and eat with her, she nibbled into the mouse and purred softly, "What is this? It's delicious!" She happily took bigger bites between purring.[/justify]

    Honeyscar smiled "That's a mouse.They're very easy to kill,that's why there's more of them than anything else in the pile"She said

    [justify]The young she-kit nodded her head and bit into her mouse once more until the whole thing was eaten. She yawned in a full daze and smiled at the she-cat who took her in. "Thank you, Honeyscar..." She whispered.[/justify]

    Honeyscar purred."No,thank you."She meowed.She had always wanted a kit,But could never have one.
