    leafshine is a pretty she-cat who needs love she ran away from her twolegs with her four kits. she needs a mate to father her kits and to take her into a clan!

    a small stirring in the leaves.
    a tail twitching among the furled bracken.
    a mouse shot out but a larger, quicker figure leapt and caught it with outstretched claws.
    apple flicked his tail contentedly.
    his blue eyes shone as his lean body and thoroughly washed pelt camouflaged him against the dusty rocks.
    he bent to eat his meal when he smelled intruders.
    tasting the air he studied his opponent.
    young she-cat, healthy,happy but hungry.

    leafshine lead her four kits (bracken, pine, silver and clover) out into the forest. she had a rough day. she had been searching for a home and a mate but so far no luck. she had to rest. so she stopped by a stream to get some water she and her kits drank from the stream before falling into a deep sleep. leafshine waited till her kits were asleep, safe and hidden. then she looked for food. she caught the scent of a mouse she hid in the tall grass creping toards the smell then she saw another cat with the mouse. she leanded closer. "OWWWWWWWW" she screached stepping on a thorn.

    hearing a yowl, he picked up the mouse and raced away.
    he found her sitting by a stream with four kits.
    she had a massive thorn jutting from one paw.
    he dropped the mouse by the kits and padding forward, pulled the thorn from her paw.

    "thanks" she said to the handsome tom. her kits jumped up and down trying to look at the other cat. bracken, the oldest of the kits, jumped on the tom. "kits, bracken, behave," she said sternly "so who are you?" bracken, pine, silver and clover looked at him with wide eyes. clover ran into the bushes her tortishell fur snagging on a branch.

    ''im apple.''
    he plucked clover up and placed her at leafshine's paws.
    he purred at the kits sweet curiosity.
    ''the kits and you can have the mouse.''
    he sat down and curled his tail around his paws.

    "Really!", she said as the kits dung into the mouse "thanks they havent eaten in a few sunrises". she looked at him and said "im Leafshine" she looked at clover who ran up to Apple and gave him a little leaf "thanks for all the help" she squeked. before plooping down to eat the plump mouse.

    he plucked the leaf up and carefully placed it in a crevice.''come to my den. its warm and the kits can curl up in the moss.you can share a den with me''
    he led her to his den.

    She followed him. Her body felt tired. She curled up on some moss while the kits played with a feather.
    Clover ran into Bracken screeching "out of my way you filthy dog"
    "hey i was the dog last time" he conplaind.
    "was not" she said.
    "was to" he retorts.
    "Was not" She says her pelt bristles.
    "fine" he says. Clover lunges at him, Pine races over to silver tackling her. Bracken throse Clover of, She goes flying her tiny paw flailing as she lands into a clump of thorns.

    Leafshine walks over to bracken "you know better then to fling your sister" she says sternly. She padds over to Apple. "thanks" she says dipping her head. Clover sits there whining. "hush" Leafshine says to her kit.

    he dreamed he was in a meadow and the kits were chasing butterflies.
    he recognised four but the other three looked like him and someone else....leafshine! these were his and leafshines!
    and there she was, the beautiful she-cat he had loved from first sight.
    he walked over to her, slowly they touched noses and he woke up.

    he turned and padded over to leafshine. he sat in front of her and watched her sleep then curled up beside her and fell asleep.

    Dawn light streamed in. Leafshine woke up. They kits yelled "Leafshine, Apple were old enough to become apprentices!". Leafshine yawned and streched. Her stoamach felt weird as if she had eaten a stale mouse.
    "Okay, okay ill mentor Silver and Bracken and, Apple, If he wants, Can mentor Pine and Clover" she meowed "training starts at sunhigh." she said padding back into the den. She shyly licked his ear before laying back down.
