Having almost reached the borders of the Clans Hazelblaze stops to rest in a quiet clearing with her kits.

"This way my little ones" Hazelblaze mewed herding her small family into the relative saftey of the clearing. "It's not far away now, you should be safe here." Lostkit looked up at his mother, his big blue eyes focused on her green ones, "Safe now mama?" He questions.
"Almost my dear, Almost..."

Soot awoke to the sound of talking and looked down from her resting place in an oak tree. She watches from her spot in the tree since the large gash in her shoulder makes it hard for her to move.

Gaining a little courage Lostkit scampered a little away from his mother And began to explore the clearing a little, crouching and pouncing on leaves as the fell from the trees.
"When we get to Shadowclan, they'll teach you to catch more than leaves, better than I ever could."

Soot quietly chuckled from her spot in the tree and thought: (maybe it's time for me to show myself...) soot then starts to quietly and carefully climb down the tree. Wincing in pain with each step.

"Lostkit, come here." Hazelblaze called out her voice firm as her ears flicked, picking up on a slight disturbance around her. Tucking both of her kits out of sight much to the annoyance of Lostkit. Hazelblaze stood protectivly in front of them, ready to defend her family.

Soot limped over to the queen and her kits. "I promise you, I am no threat to you and your kits. I'm merely curious about who's in my territory."

"With an injury like that you wouldn't be, even if that was your intention." Hazelblaze studied the other cats shoulder, hoping that the injury wasn't as bad as the cat's movements made it seem.

"Hello!" Lostkit called jumping out from behind his mother. "Lostkit. What did I tell you?"

**Skulley** · #8 January 26th, 2017, 02:19 PM

Soot just snorted. "Trust me, even if I wanted to attack you. I couldn't." Soot looks down at the ground. "I'm looking for my little sister Brook. She's just a little older than your kits."

**sab700** · #9 January 26th, 2017, 02:25 PM

"A little older than my kits?" She asked, shock registering on the brown tabby's face. "How can you just lose sight of such a young kitten? Whether it's your sibling or your own kit, kittens need looking after."

Soot looked away in shame. "IT wasn't my fault! Some big cats were chasing after us and, they managed to corner us. I told Brook to run away. She did, and I fought them so she could escape. I can't find her anywhere." Soot looks up. "Can you please help me find my sister?"
