A BRAND NEW START // runaway kit

[BOLDPAW]

He didn't want to flee, to run away and leave Big Blue behind!. He had protested against it but it had been of no use. " Run away as far away from here as possible if you want to live!. " And he did want to live!. He had wanted to leave with them, together!. But Big Blue had been forced to stay behind so he could get away when it was him who had screwed up. This was his mistake, his fault so why was Big Blue paying the price for him?. " I will come back for you i promise!." Had been his departing words before he had turned around to flee into the forest, into the unkown with tears streaming down his face. He promised to come back for them when he was older!. Never would he forget about them or everything they had done for him!. But for now he had no other choice but to run.

So he ran until he couldn't anymore just as he had been instructed to do. He stopt to catch his breath while he looked around for a safe place to hide. Big Blue had told him to run as far into the forest as his legs had the strength to carry him and then he no longer could should search for a hideout to hide until one of the forest cats found him. His eyes scan around after somewhere small enough for a kit like him to seek shelter inside and with a little bit of luck the kit finds a hole that went underground. He had no clue it was a burrow he actually had find but it was small enough for him to crawl inside. He hurried himself over and crawled himself inside and tightly curled himself up into a tight ball while his eyes where watching the opening. All he could really do now was to wait.

It was not until now he started to feel the sting of pain across his face again where he had got struck. He was still bleeding too. The kit licked one of his paws before he used it in an attempt to clean the blood away from his scarred face but all it gave him was more pain to hiss at and a taste of his own blood at his tongue. It didn't take long before an decision were being made to give up with the attempt to clean the wound as it was bringing more discomfort then actually any comfort at all.

In wait for someone to come and find him the kit placed his head down with a soft sniffle. He missed Big Blue already...

[nightbird]

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ the days only grew hotter in the forest, and even with the cover of the canopy the dark fur along nightbird's spine was searing. it made her paws move with a little more vigor, anything to get out of this and back to camp.

head down as she stalked the trail of prey, she just barely caught a glimpse of blood saturating into the dirt. it had yet to dry, and upon further examination she noted that the crimson path did not stop. an unfamiliar scent accompanied it, with flattened ears the lead warrior followed.

she made her way through the undergrowth to arrive at the mouth of some abandoned burrow, stranger scent stronger than ever. yet, this hole was far too small for even an apprentice aged cat to wedge themselves into. nightbird's dark nose tucked into the entrance, eyes squinting against the darkness. she couldn't see much, but the scent ended here, there was nowhere else to go.

"what are you hiding from," she hums with subtle disinterest, taking a seat to wrap her tail around her paws. another lost kitten, as if they didn't have enough already. but howlingstar wouldn't turn this one away either. "come out, i don't have all day."

[SAFFRONPOUNCE]

I THINK I'LL TAKE MY WHISKEY NEAT — They suffered just the same as Nightbird due to their own dark pelt that the sun's heat bled into and made it rather uncomfortable for them. Saffronpounce continues trying to find a morsel or two to bring back to camp only to notice the droplets of blood and a frown forms itself onto their face, Nightbird had followed it only to end up at a burrow much too small for a fox. Their long tail sweeps behind them carefully at the scent of another stranger, a kitten by the looks of it, and they manage not to grimace in front of the lead warrior. Newleaf has been too kind as of late giving Thunderclan all these orphaned kittens and it made him wonder where they all came from. These random kittens popping up like unwanted weeds and he wishes silently that they ended up at a different clan or elsewhere completely. Where were all the foxes, owls, and other predators that liked snatching up kits for a quick meal? The morbid thought is pushed aside as he remains quiet not wanting to potentially startle the invasive weed from not revealing itself to them.

He doesn't hate kittens by any means but this would simply be another mouth to feed and the stranger would simply get tainted by the current kits that were at camp, they just weren't bright. Maybe if he ever had his own they'd be less stupid and superior than all the other kittens, his snout wrinkles at the thought of being heavy with kits and stuck in the nursery. What an awful concept. "It makes me wonder who keeps leaving their kits..." Saffron finally mumbles out quietly under his voice and ears pressed flat against his skull.

It was about time for someone to show up. How long where they expecting him to wait?. Still, he was not dumb enough to storm out there the first thing he did. For all he knew they could be one of the rogues that had hunted him down to finish what they had started. Big Blue had taught him to be smarter than that. So for now he would remain in his lil safe space as he was backed further away from the entrance. He sniffed the air after any scents he would not be familiar with. Big Blue had told him the forest cats smelled very strongly of moss and tree bark. That he should pay attention to it. Whatever he was smelling it for sure wasn't anything he was familliar with which was a good sign in this case.

One or...two?. He believed there was two of them out there. That would be his guess. One of them spoke up asking him the obivious. The kit huffed out. " Anything that wants to hurt me or...even worse eat me." he would answer the strangers voice who also demanded him to leave his hideout almost straight away. At first he said nothing unsure if he should obey or not. If he did there was always a risk. But Big Blue had told him to cooperate once he found these thunderclan cats. So after having carefully considered it the kit nodded his head to himself. " Fine...but if you try to attack me i will....bite your nose!, hard and i'm a very good nose biter too." he warned like his words even had the pontential to be considered a threat.

Slowly the kit crawled himself to the exit of the hole and peaked his head outside to stare up at the two warriors before crawling halfway outside but not completely just in case he had to escape back in there again. He stared carefully at each one of them with wary eyes. " Are you two thunderclan warriors?." he asked, and not yet would he admit or show it across his features how cool he would think that was if that was the case. He had always wanted to meet the warriors of the forest. Big Blue had told him so many cool stories about them. But for now he had to act all cool and chill. He wanted to make a first good impression on them after all. If they where the cats he had been searching for.

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ the child was certainly an amusing one, with a personality too big for his paws. nightbird huffed in amusement at the response to her first question, ears tilting at the pitiful warning. she backs away slightly from the entrance, mostly for the safety of her own nose.

"i'm sure you are," she responded dryly, sending a quick glance to saffronpounce. their pin eared disposition was about as welcoming as a burr bush, the lead warrior couldn't blame him. kits were already flooding out of the nursery, eating them out of house and home. but howlingstar would have their pelts if they sent this one away, there wasn't much to do about it.

finally, the kitten showed his face, tentatively crouched halfway outside of the burrow to pose them with a question of his own. "yes. i'm nightbird, this is saffronpounce. you're bleeding all over our forest, were you followed?" her introduction is quick, gaze narrowing onto the poorly cleaned wound on the kid's face. cats who rose their claws to kittens were less than welcome at their border, could pose a threat to any patrol. "our medicine cat can help with that, but only if you promise not to bite anyone's nose in our camp. deal?"

For some reason this stranger didn't seem completely sold on that he was a good nose bitter. He recognized sarcasm when it was being served to him. Cold or dryly. He could easily tell. He was used to not being taken seriously to begin with. But he kept his mouth shut as he knew quite well what could happen if he spoke out of line. Maybe one day she would found out how nasty his bites could be.

Nightbird. That was a pretty cool name not gonna lie. It for sure served this molly some points for owning such a cool name along with actually confirming she was a thunderclanner along with the other one standing beside her. Saffronpounce happened to be a more confusing name to him though, not really knowing what an saffron was. Maybe it was some horrifying beast that lived in the forest?. That would explain why they got named pounce because they where good at pouncing this beasts down?. That would make sense if so.

He felt a wave of reflief wash over him that he actually had find them. Everything would be fine now, wouldn't it?. He did not need to go back to that awful place ever again, right?. As long he played his cards right. The kit was about to open his mouth to explain everything to them, that he was here to join them but his words got stuck on his tongue. Were you followed?.

" No....Big Blue made sure i wouldn't be." He replied with ears falling back. Just thinking back on how he had been forced to leave them behind made him feel...sad and like a coward. He hated too be so small, to be so powerless.

Bold noticed how the warrior stared at his wounded face. It made him feel uncomfortable. He tried to hide the part of his face that was bleeding with one of his paws but the moment he touched his face his paw flinched back as he once more got reminded that touching it just made the pain worse. He let the paw fall back to the ground again, his teeths slightly clenched as he looked away.

Blinking his eyes back to them find himself a bit baffled. She was going to take him back with her, to the camp to see one of thier medicine cats?. Just like that?!. Bold had not thought it would go this smoothly that they would demanded something from him in return to serve under them like one of his eyes or something. That just proved that Big Blue had been right all along. Don't worry they will take care of you just like i have been. Big Blue's voice echoed into his head to comfort.

All he needed to do was to promise not to bite anyone's noses. That was a deal he wouldn't think twice about to make!. " You have got yourself a deal." he gave a firm nod. He would then look away as a mumble left his throat. "Thank you..." It felt awkward to give his gratitude to this molly since he never usual did, mostly because he was never being treated this kindly like this warrior was doing right now so he had no reason to thank anyone for anything. So for him to even say it meant a big deal, at least to him.
