"Of course, I would, Selenekit. I am not some cruel tyrant who is here to take your freedoms away. But this trust you speak of...," Aurora said softly. "I have seen it among you, but not between us, me and the five of you." Her ochre eyes then turned to Crystalkit.
"Your Clan. You do not have parents or siblings or friends you have lost?" Aurora questioned. She wondered if this was true and this was the reason Crystalkit was so shy. Her ear twitched at the femme's next question, which she caught with ease. "We are to defeat a nightmare in a land of ice, a place not far from where I used to live. When you see the lights in the night sky, you will know that we are getting closer." The she-cat smiled.
"You are learning by asking questions. I like that...," Aurora said quietly.

Selenekit stepped a paw to Aurora. Though I may not act it.. I know if we got in trouble with something.. I trust you to protect us. She touched her paw to Aurora's and suddenly embarrassed, she stepped away quickly, ducking her head.

Amber eyes blinked open, cloudy at first. The calico she-cat stayed still, trying to figure out where she was. Smells of foreign ground filled her nose and mouth and she heard voices. Who? It was no EclipseClanner, and all the voices sounded young, apart from one older one, speaking its wise words to the younger cats around it. Her eyes became less clouded and suddenly she could see.
Bang. Mottledkit sat up with such a start it was like lightning had struck her. She tried to speak but her voice came out as a croak from lack of use. She shook with terror as images of what had haapened filled her vision. A fox, biting and snapping at her, her and the other kits terrified and running, running away from the horrible beasts. But one had got her and she knew it. "Mummy" she whimpered, tears welling in her eyes. But she must be strong, she must, for her family, for her Clan, for the entire Black River forest. Her limbs didnt feel very sore, so she stood and stumbled her way to Pecankit and Aurora. Nearly falling on top of the brown kitten she steadied herself and stood upright. "Where......Where are we? Whats happened since ive been...." Mottledkit stopped. She didnt really know what had happened to her, after the fox had got her. Looking around at the others she shivered, slightly nervous.
[ooc]I was looking at some old EC posts and Mottled knew who Selene was. Now, we know they all think that she died but would Mottled not notice this, or think it was a coincidence that a MC kit had the same name as a kit presumed dead from her Clan, and the same age as Corbynkit(paw)? Just wondering ^^ (This is mainly directed at Shade xD). [/blockquote] |

"No one I love has die--" she broke herself off, feeling a bit strange. "All my loved ones are still here," she clarified shakily. A nightmare? she asked herself, not quite understanding what Aurora meant by a nightmare. Deciding to ask questions later and not now, the lithe she-kit turned her head just in time to se Mottledkit put her head up. Gasping, Crystalkit exclaimed, "Mottledkit! You're okay!" and rushed towards her. She instinctively pressed herslef up against Mottledkit, leaving the questions for Aurora. The tabby femme pulled away gently and slowly - she had never really been Mottledkits best friend. [/color][/blockquote] |

Pecankit snorted, storming away from Aurora. She didn't want to listen to the loner, she didn't care. The she-cat stabbed at the earth with her claws. The reason her anger was so great was because, deep inside, she knew Aurora was right. But dislike coursed through the veins, filling her paws. The tabby padded heavily back towards Mottledkit, and sat beside her, twitching irritably. Pecankit turned her head on one side as she noticed Mottledkit flex one paw. She turned to her, on her paws again. "Mottledkit?" she mewed uncertainly. She grinned as her friend got to her paws. "Your okay! You alright!" Pecankit pressed herself against her tortoiseshell friend, purring. She pulled away, blue eyes shining, at her question. "Oh, not much," she replied. "Arguments, tears, tantrums. Y'know, the usual." |

Selenekit padded to Mottledkit and purred. Welcome back, She meowed happily. Her friend had returned. Now she hoped that they could all get along and get this done.[/sub]

Aurora lifted her head at the noise, ochre eyes suddenly softening at the sight of Mottledkit. "My heart is glad that you are well. Pecankit and the others has been keeping you safe. Your safety is due to their vigilance," she said with a gentle smile towards the tortoiseshell. The she-cat nodded to Mottledkit. "Are you ready to walk again? Crystalkit was the one who tended to your wounds, but there might be some stiffness, as all wounds are."

Quickly returning to her norm of quiet intelligence, after pressing against Crystalkit as she felt the comforting warmth of the white kitten against her, Mottledkit nodded at everyone and then dipped her head further to Aurora, as she had been taught to always respect her elders. "Yes, i am fine. Thank you Crystalkit for patching me up and thanks to all of you for protecting me. I'll make up for it, i swear" she said, the kit of her coming into the last part of her speech. She took up her position beside Pecankit, flashing a quick, quiet smile at her friend. "C'mon then, whats happened while ive been out of it" she asked, anxious to know that she hadnt missed anything.

"Um, I only did what Aurora told me to do," the stunningly contrasted she-cat mewed quietly. This was true, she would never have been able to do this before Aurora showed her which herbs to use. Besides, she had been to cowardly to fight in the battle with the foxes - who else was supposed to heal Mottledkit when everyone but cowardly little Crystalkit had all almost died? "I'm sorry," What? Why am I sorry? Crystalkit was just as surprised by the words that had stayed in her head as the words that had escaped her lips. This was the first time she had ever really questioned an apology, and it felt strange. It seemed as if she were seeing herself from a different point of view now. She looked at the ground almost blankly, letting shyness take control of her. She felt a strange anger boil up inside her, an anger aimed at herself. She let one more teardrop fall, hitting the ground with a faint splash. "I'm useless," she muttered bitterly. [/blockquote] ooc; Meh muse has left the building. -___-;;[/size] |

"Nonsense!" Aurora replied. "It was still you who tended to her, even if I was the one who gave you directions. Your mentor could have told you how to hunt, but being that you caught the food yourself, you were the one who had the successful catch, right?" The she-cat smiled and licked Crystalkit's ear.

((*sigh* Since Shard won't post when they're online))
Moonkit's silvery frame poked out from the ferns, shaking off the grime on his body. Seeing the girls crowding around Aurora, he sighed, knowing that he had probably missed out on some important information. Plus, someone had probably gotten the flower. Seeing Mottledkit, the tom smiled, warmth extending to his eyes. "Welcome back," he said softly. "I'm glad you're back." He nodded to Mottledkit.[/sub]

Mottledkit pressed comfortingly against Crystalkit. "Of course you're not useless. Would i still be here if you hadnt looked after me? Probably not. And thats why im so grateful" she said, licking the pretty white she-cat gently on the ear. With a smile she turned to Pecankit and beckoned with her tail. "Come walk with us" she said, not wanting to leave Crystalkit as she had been upset and she knew the nervous she-kit needed a friend. Why shouldnt it be her? [/blockquote][/color] |

Pecankit couldn't help feeling a ripple of jealousy as Mottledkit comforted Crystalkit. She had never used to care so openly about the nervous she-cat. The tabby sighed, sinking her claws once again into the grass. She wasn't sure where all of her feelings were coming from; her heart was telling her to be angry, but telling her to be grateful at the same time. Pecankit shook her head at Mottledkit's mew. She turned, and walked off on her own. The she-cat sighed, looking out at the grey sky. "Where are you, StarClan?" she murmured. |

Mottledkit opened her mouth to protest at Pecankit leaving but closed it with a sigh. Maybe the kit just needed some time on her own and anyway, Mottledkit hardly knew her anyway. It was silly to think a lot of any of the kist just yet, she hardly knew them, any of them. Her amber eyes clouded as they did quite a lot but she just waited until it was over, relying on her sense of smell and hearing for the minute. She looked back round to Aurora, a black and white blur. "Is it time to go?" she asked, blinking until finally Aurora became a solid black and white form again. [/color][/blockquote] |

"I suppose we are. My lesson for the moment was learned, so I hope," the femme said, smiling gently. The white and black she-cat pulled up her paw and silently pushed the flower away from her, watching in silence as the water rushed up and stole it from the banks to carry it away.
Aurora turned her head to the others. "Let's head on then," she said, turning with a small grin and a new spring to her step. A song trickled from her maw, her humming gentle and sweet.
"Does anyone have any stories to share while we're on the road?" she then asked.

Selenekit shook her head, but a question popped into her head as they walked, knowing no one had the answer. But she needed to ask it. Who are my mother and father? She asked suddenly, looking up at Aurora. The little kit cast her eyes down again. I faintly remember a black pelt, but then it all disappears to the pelt of Pearlblade. But I'm sure she's not my real mother... Selenekit admitted.

// Selenekit doesn't know who her mother is until she's much older. And Mottledkit was too young to remember.
Pecankit looked down at her forepaws. They had changed these past moons. When she had left the safety of the forest, she had padded on soft, fluffy paws. Now her paws were lean, her pads harsh, and her step strong. Pecankit flexed her shoulders and felt new strength in them. The injured shoulder throbbed, though the slash had healed. That was another part of her that had been altered. Though she had never seen it, Pecankit had often felt the rough, raised scar on her shoulder when grooming her maple-coloured tabby pelt. Everything about her was different. Pecankit sighed. She was not the same naive kit that had left BrightClan on a mere whim; she was stronger, faster and more intelligent. But this was down to the toil of the trail; not Aurora - at least that's what she told herself. Pecankit turned and padded after the others, though she kept several cat-lengths behind. She felt very lonely and friendless. Moonkit had Selenekit, and Mottledkit seemed to like Crystalkit more than her, now. Pecankit shook her head fiercely, pride firing up in her sapphire eyes. She didn't care if she was lonely. She was her own cat.
She didn't need anyone else. |

Mottledkit looked worridly back at Pecankit. She didnt like to see the she-kit alone so turned to Crystalkit quickly. "Be right back" she whispered to the white femme with a smile and a gentle flick of her tail. She turned round and walked back to Pecankit, her amber eyes blurring. She stumbled a little as this happened but then regained balance and stepped along next to Pecankit. "Pecankit? Are you...okay? It's just i dont like to see a friend on their own" she said with a smile, her amber eyes beggining to clear. She saw the fire in Pecankits sapphire orbs and lowered her voice to speak. "I'm sorry if it seemed i was ignoring you. It just looked as if Crystalkit needed comfort, you'll always be my friend" Mottledkit whispered, flicking the she-cat gently on the shoulder with her tail and searching her face anxiosuly with now clear amber eyes.[/color]

Pecankit trudged on, aware that Mottledkit was heading back towards her. The tabby kit turned her head away, blinking her sapphire eyes so as to cover up the hurt that filled them. "You never used to care about her so much," she mewed, voice more angry than sulky. Pecankit sighed, stabbing the grass with a paw. At home it didn't matter who liked who more, because she still had either Hazelkit or Mousekit to play with. Except they wouldn't be Hazelkit and Mousekit anymore. Pecankit lashed her tail, looking once again up at the sky as if searching its depths for answers. |

Mottledkit shrugged, knowing simple kindness wasnt going to help in this situation. "She was upset. I would do the same for you, for Selenekit and for Moonkit. Its just the nice thing to do, and in my opinion the right thing to do. So i'm sorry if i hurt you but i was just trying to comfort someone who was upset" she said, choosing her words carefully. Her amber eyes could see clearly now but she kept them fixed to the ground, not wanting to stare right at Pecankit incase it unnerved her. She knew that she didnt like people staring right at her if she was feeling upset so she wouldnt do it to others. She padded along silently, waiting for Pecankit to reply, swishing her tail as she did.[/color]

ooc;; I know. And she won't figure it out. xDD
bic;; Selenekit hung her head as she walked, thinking about that black pelt. The black pelt that abandoned her in Moonclan. A surge of anger overcame the shy kit and defiance burned in her eyes. Whoever you are, mother, I hate you. You left me as a mere kit, helpless, in Moonclan.. I hope I'm raised and told to fight you... She hissed. Then she shook her head, her thoughts clearing. She plodded on still.

Aurora's brows rose, lifting the faint scars of her eyes. "Selenekit," she said, having never heard such venom in the young femme's voice. "Words of such malice should only be heard on a rogue's tongue. Perhaps your mother thought it was best for you to live in MoonClan. This Pearlblade you speak of. I am sure she has been an excellent mother to you. Think of her as who you fight for." The black and white she-cat turned to the others.
"Come, all of you. We have a ways to go and not enough time to get there."
Moonkit ran up to Aurora and tilted his head. "I've always wondered, Aurora. Where did you get those scars on your eyes?"
The she-cat turned the tom. "Oh. Those... I killed a SerenityClanner." She didn't stop when she heard Moonkit's half-outraged, half-shocked gasp. "An evil little mouse-brain named Windstripe who thought it would be wonderful to spill the blood of my little Ash." She glance away, eyes towards the sky. "I got the scars when I stepped up to protect the little one and we were locked in mortal combat. He's probably crowfood right now." She shrugged.
Moonkit dropped back, swallowing a lump in his throat and he chose to follow Selenekit instead. "Do you believe her?" he whispered.[/sup]

Selenekit dropped her head and murmured an apology. She turned her gaze to Moonkit and leaned against him. I do believe her. Why would she lie to us now when she has our trust? Or maybe she did lie, and is trying to gain our trust, only to kill us later! She gasped and glared at Aurora. Then she licked Moonkit's ears. Nahh, I'm just kidding. I'm sure she's telling the truth. She smiled in a lop-sided way, grinning.

Crystalkit shrugged but followed Aurora anyway. She trusted Aurora more than anyone she had ever known, for some odd reason. The lithe-built femme stepped lightly around marshy ground as she recalled the CloudClan camp. She cast her light azure behind her, but for as far as she could see was swampland. Where was her beautiful, open home? She missed it so much. But somehow, she only wanted to be there for the framiliar landscaping. She didn't mind this, in fact, she loved it. She loved the five cats she had been travelling with, even Pecankit. Was this really so bad?

Pecankit shook her head. She wanted to speak, but felt as though her tongue was being pulled back into her throat. The tabby shook her head wordlessly and padded on, overtaking Mottledkit, overtaking Crystalkit, ovetaking Moonkit, Selenekit and Aurora, until she padded at the head of the group. The slender she-cat's snowy white paws tapped the ground, sending up a rhythm. Pecankit padded on determinedly, head forward, eyes down, tail drooping. She had always hated self-pity; and she knew she was being ridiculous, but she was so desperately lonely that she ignored this. |

Mottledkit sighed sadly as Pecankit lengthed her stride and overtook everyone. She slunk back up beside Crystalkit, smiling but saying nothing to the snowy white femme. She followed Aurora with her tail up but her head down. She was upset about the whole Pecankit thing, but didnt want to show a lot of weakness, as she knew Aurora wouldnt encourage this. Her amber eyes blurred as she looked at Pecankit but this was not the normal blurriness. She felt the tears in her eyes and tried furiously to blink them away as she continued to follow Aurora.
[ooc]I'll go straight to the next thread ^^.
