The chirping of a bird overhead woke the scared kitten up and for a moment she had no idea where she was and her heart threatened to thump out of her chest. Slowly untangling her cold damp limbs, Blossom couldn't remember a time when she'd ever been so cold or alone - or afraid. Remembering yesterday's events with the fox made her shudder and squeak for her mom. She'd never met anything that wanted to hurt her so the fox had left her with a horrible fear of large animals.
Her tummy growled for food and fear of the fox finding her versus possibly running into another fox was enough to get her to crawl out of the log. Standing miserably in the morning sunshine and with tears running down her face, she made herself start walking. Sniffling periodically, she couldn't stop crying, though she did so as quietly as possible. She would have sat and bawled her eyes out, but was terrified of making too much noise in case the fox was looking for her. Blossom had no idea the fox was miles away or she might have breathed easier. She also had no idea her family was equally as far away and that she'd never see them again.
Her tiny paws tripped over a tree branch and Blossom fell in an undignified tangle of legs and fur. Hiccuping back a sob, she sat up and looked around. Nothing looked familiar. "Mama... where are you?" She whimpered. "I'm sorry I ran Mama, please. Mama, I'm scared!" She cried pitifully as she remained plopped on the ground with only her front paws holding her up.
Her eyes gazed around without really seeing anything as tears kept blurring her vision. She was a scruffy, dirty mess with her fur sticking up in clumps and her usually pristine white fur looked more like a grimy gray color. Even her usually peachy colored markings had a dirty brown color to them, however she was too hungry to even notice what she looked like. What was she going to do now?
((heh, I like to write, can you tell? And who wants to adopt my lil scrap of fur? xD ))

SWallowsong was hunting near the territory around EmberClan when she heard a pitiful mewling. "A kit!" she gasped. Quickly running to the source of the sound, she saw a bedraggled kit crying. She dropped the plump vole she was carrying and gently licked the top of the kit;s head. The ShoreClan she-cat drew the kit close to her and covered her with gentle licks. "Are you okay?" she asked softly.

Blossom sniffed again and stared down at the dirt beneath her paws. A tear ran down her nose and with a tiny "plop" sound, hit the earth and left a round circle of wet soil. Choking back a sob, she swiped her foreleg across her face, but all she did was give herself what looked like a gray face mask. Feeling completely miserable, she didn't hear the footfalls approaching her until way too late. As a result, Blossom nearly jumped out of her fur when she was licked on the head.
Giving a pathetic hiss, which sounded way closer to a scared sputter, she tripped over herself and landed on her butt with her legs sprawled out. Before she could do anything else undignifying, she was pulled close and Blossom realized it was an older cat, a female. Burrowing into her tummy fur Blossom gave up and just sobbed. "Iee wund mu mubby!" ((I want my mommy)) She wailed.

"Don't worry now, little one," Swallowsong murmured soothingly. "You're safe now." The beautiful light brown tabby continued licking the young kit all over until she was dry. Curling her tabby tail around the kit protectively, she sheltered the young cat.

Blossom's sobs slowly died away as the older cat's words began to comfort her. Letting the other cat finish licking her dry, she swiped her eyes dry with her paw before looking up at her to study her curiously. This cat looked nothing like any cat she'd seen before and she puzzled at her oddly striped fur for a minute before looking around sadly. Everything was so strange here.
Vaguely remembering her mother's teachings about manners, Blossom pulled loose far enough to step back a few pawsteps and made herself sit in a regal poise like her mom taught her. "Pl-pleased to meet... you. My name, name is Blossom." She said, stumbling over her words tiredly as her tummy growled with hunger. Slumping into a huddled ball of scared fur she threw decorum aside and stared up at the strange looking female again with huge eyes. "Where am I and who are you?"

Skypaw, who was walking down to the river to get some water, paused when she heard two cats talking. She walked over, curious to see what they were doing. As the cats came into view Skypaw was intsantly angry, that was a ShoreClan cat! What was she doing here? She charged out of the bushed to tell Swallowsong to get lost. This was before she saw the tiny, dirty kit sitting close by. Her anger melted away now, she knew that Swallowsong just wanted to help the poor little kit. She was suddenly aware that she was probably being stared at. "S-sorry," she stammered, taking a few more steps and sitting down, "I just saw you here, and.." she trailed off hoplessly, looking at the ground.

Swallowsong bared her teeth in a snarl and drew Blossom closer to her with her tail. She crouched protectively over the lost kit. Quietly, she hissed, "You are in EmberClan territory and I am Swallowsong of ShoreClan. I will take you there if you wish." Looking at Skypaw and Shadowjumper, her eyes narrowed.

Shadowjumper never really liked cat from other clan she just never trusted them. Could see the fear in the young kit's eyes she was hoping that the kit could come make to camp with her

Swallowsong gave Blossom a reassuring lick on the head and gently nuzzled the kit before turning to SHadowjumper. "We're getting off your territory soon anyways, Shadowjumper," she answered calmyl.

Skypaw watched the exchange, unsure what to do. She looked up at Shadowjumper, who looked mad. Then she looked at the little kit peaking out from behind Swallowsong. What would happen to her? she wondered. The poor thing looked lost, confuzed and scared.

The female didn't have time to reply before another cat charged up looking mad. Blossom crouched low, fearful of being attacked, but once the other cat saw her, she seemed to get embarassed.
"S-sorry, I just saw you here, and.."
Blossom blinked at her curiously, but shrank back as a third cat appeared and this one upon seeing her didn't calm down.
"what happened Swallowsong why is this kit over here?"
The female that had found her first pulled her close and stood over her protectively with a hiss.
"You are in EmberClan territory and I am Swallowsong of ShoreClan. I will take you there if you wish."
Emmerclan? Surclan? What? Blossom was completely lost now and couldn't do anything except stare as the three cats proceeded to have an angry discussion apparently over her being here.
"I think she should let her come with us she is on our territory you know Swalllowsong" hissed the third cat who was standing next to the second female to have arrived.
"We're getting off your territory soon anyways, Shadowjumper," Swallowsong said, talking to the third cat that had arrived and was so angry.
Blossom was beginning to get the idea she was not wanted and fought not to cry again as Swallowsong gave her a lick and nuzzled her close. Shadowjumper's angry hisses were scaring Blossom who didn't know what she'd done wrong. The second cat was just staring at her and Blossom felt like running away and hiding.
"What's a clan?" Blossom squeaked fearfully at Swallowsong while trying to hide between her legs still thinking everyone was mad at her.

Skypaw, still looking at the kit, suddenly made a decision. She knew that Swallowsong was trespasing and that Shadowjumper had every right to be angry. But everything going on was obviosly scaring the kit. "Stop it Shadowjumper," she said suddenly. "You can shout at Swallowsong later but right now that little kit over there is scared. Can't we just get her somewhere else first?" she hoped that she woldn't be in truble for this but she couldn't see anything else to do.

Swallowsong nosed Blossom protectively, "A Clan is where many cats live together and help each other. I am a warrior, so is SHadowjumper there, and Skypaw is an apprentice, who is training," she told the little softly. "So would you like to come with me back to my Clan, ShoreClan, BLossom?" Her tail curled around the young kit again, protecting her from Shadowjumper's angry gaze.
