[Leveretkit Leveretkit]

{$title} Coming to the boarder of Thunderclan and Shadowclan, it seemed like a blur of brown fur darts across the Thunderpath. Is that a rabbit or perhaps....

—— ✦ Eye in the Sun. You're all I see. Why won't you look at me? ✦ ——

Maybe once the world was warm. Curled in the paws of a cat who loved them. But if the scrap of fur ever had that, they weren't bothered about it. Little seemed to faze them. Maybe it was why when the kitten stirred, raising a shaking head from the earth underpaw, they did not flinch at the foul scent that clung to the air.

Bleary eyes, slowly prying open, with bright red eyes scanning the area with a peculiar calm. Brown muddled with crumbling dirt that the kitten wrinkled their nose at.

With a huff, almost as if more slighted and inconvenienced by being dropped off on the side of the Thunderpath, the kitten rose to their paws in a wobbly manner.

Looking out into the land before them, the kitten wrinkled their nose in disgust. While the path behind them stunk of burning and something else bitter, the stretch of trees and bushes reeked of something damp and foul. While there may have been safety somewhere in the waterlogged place, their gut told them otherwise.

For a kitten so small, they seemed to have decided their own fate.

Turning their bobbed tail on the swamp behind them, facing the thunderpath from where they had been left, the kitten had made a decision. Red eyes darting too and fro, long ears pricking up for any sound.

Then, with the confidence not even some warriors had, the kitten stepped out onto the Thunderpath, darting across where the rich scent of oak clung to the air.

- You cast two shadows down the road,

where you buried all your past lives bones. -

Come on, come on
We can go away

.

Despite her better judgement, Dewshine's paws carry her to the thunderpath acting as a border between Thunderclan and Shadowclan. Her gaze sweeping over the brush ahead with a frown. Charcoal- COALSTRIKE was somewhere out there... Was he biding his time, waiting for his chance to strike when they least expected it or had he moved on and waved the two off as a lost cause? Even as the thought came to her she laughed to herself. No. The night guard would do no such thing. That had been made clear at the gathering, she thought. He would try to kill her again if he could get a chance. She'd just have to make sure there was none.

The silver cat is dragged from the morbid line of thought by movement blinking across the thunderpath and for a split second she freezes before she focuses on the tiny bundle of fur making its way across as if they had done the same for moons.

"Oh my goodness-" Her heart lurched, head whipping from side to side for fear of seeing a monster racing down the path. Thankfully there was no telltale rumble of danger. She's moving to meet them at the edge of the thunderpath before she even realizes, urgently nosing the kit farther away from the road. "Are you alright!?"

They didn't seem to be hurt at a glance, and there was no scent of Shadowclan on them... Dewshine looked from the kit to the thunderpath, feeling as if her heart would burst from her chest. Where were the parents..?

"...Are you lost, little one? Where are your parents...?"

—— ✦ Eye in the Sun. You're all I see. Why won't you look at me? ✦ ——

They hadn't been surprised to see another cat the other side of the wretched scented path, but the sudden nudge was enough to stir their expression to a muddle of confusion and surprise. The silver molly, like a streak of stars come to life in the pelt of a worried bystander, nudged them away even as they had safely crossed. Not even the semblance of a rumble tugged at the earth as they stirred, crossed, or paused at the oak-scented side.

"I am okay, thank you." They spoke, gently but with little to no intonation. Tiny head craning up to meet the horrified gaze of the cat whose eyes couldn't seem to settle between their tiny stature and the lack of any other cat nearby.

Even she seemed to suppose there should have been some other body about, but just as they rose alone, they remained as much. "Parents? No." They shook their head, blasé about this fact that to any other cat would be a terrifying realisation. A kitten dumped at the wayside by who knows what, their mother, a stranger, twolegs? Not even they knew that, but they didn't need to.

They rose to their paws, padding slightly towards the direction from whence the molly seemed to have arrived. "But that's okay, I think I found where I was meant to be." They nodded, almost to themself, but turning and giving the stranger a small smile. "I was called Leveret, so I think you can call me that too." They watched on, expectantly, waiting to see what the molly wanted; otherwise, they were more curious where she had come from. It wasn't a matter of if, but when she would lead them there, but they were in no rush. They were a little bleary still, yes, but otherwise unharmed and unfazed.

"Oh, Dewshine~ When I suggested you settle with a litter of your own, I didn't think you'd collect them out by the thunderpath...! Copperstorm will be thrilled, I think."

They were not on the same patrol - rarely are, nowadays, as Serpentberry much prefers reclining at home with her own new trio or stuck to the side of Juniperstar - but the tortoiseshell molly always seems to find a way to drive herself centermost to the action. She had not seen little Leveret dive across the road, but given Dewshine's general shock and worry, she can imagine as much. Smoldering tortoiseshell fur ripples as she trots over, green eyes observing the kit who seems oddly okay with being sought out by strangers. They say it simply enough - "Parents? No." and Serpentberry can't help but bother asking more questions.

"Leveret sounds unique, littleling. Do you know who called you that?" A parent, a sibling - some random tree the tot personified? In any case, the medicine cat is sure that Dewshine will insist the tiny stranger join their Clan for safety reasons. She gives the molly space to announce as much, but prompts her with a coy, "Well? What are we to do now?"

.

Dewshine glances over her shoulder to Serpentberry, surprised at the molly's sudden appearance given she seemed to prefer the safety of camp more and more these days. "Oh- Serpent, it certainly looks like that, doesn't it?" She finds herself laughing despite the somewhat dark topic, this was the second time she'd found a kit alone by the thunderpath... Maybe it was fate, or maybe Leveret was just extremely lucky she happened to be here like with Boar and his siblings.

Either way... This was no place for a kit. Parents or no.

"Leveret is a lovely name," Dewshine echoes the medicine cat, pale gaze never leaving the kits small form, perhaps for the better for she missed Serpentberry's look in her direction. "The nights are beginning to get chilly, little one... Why don't you come with us? There's food and warmth in Thunderclan."

The nursery was already quite full, as she recalled especially with Hollykit and Serpent's own new brood as recent arrivals. But surely, surely there was room for one more? They couldn't abandon the child out here. Juniperstar would understand, and if not...

Just this once, perhaps it was better to ask forgiveness than permission.

—— ✦ Eye in the Sun. You're all I see. Why won't you look at me? ✦ ——

As they approached the grey molly, quickly trying to take that scent to memory, another cat waltzed along, emitting the same scent, now mixed with the scents of plants and flowers. Another molly, first addressing the grey molly, Dewshine, walks closer, talking saccharine sweet to Leveret. They blinked once, then twice. Her smile didn't reach her eyes, but strays cannot be choosers.

"Not that I remember, no. I just woke up-" They stood, motioning to the other side of the Thunderpath with a flick of a paw. "-over there. I suppose staying there would have been safer, but..." Leveret paused, eyes hovering on the place across from them, the kitten clearly unsettled. "No. It wouldn't have been. I would like to come with you, thank you."

Their bright red eyes cast up between the tortoiseshell, which they did not know the name of and Dewshine. "I don't think I need to know where I am from, or who named me. I found where I was meant to be." The kitten repeated, assured of it now with the second cat and the growing scent of this place. This "Thunderclan". Even Leveret didn't know what was driving them, but something assured them in their heart their path was set as intended. Life was not a simple path; Leveret would need to choose correctly.

But as Dewshine said, the cold was coming, and for all their tiny wisdom, they were still small. Being so small, they had grown tired and hungry. Just as they couldn't recall who had left them, they had no idea when they had last eaten, and that realisation of gnawing hunger wasn't something they masked on their face as a twist of discomfort from hunger pangs made itself all the more evident.

[Copperstorm]

You walk along the edge of danger
AND IT WILL CHANGE YOU

.

Copperstorm stayed crouched in the undergrowth longer than he meant to, golden eyes fixed on the scene ahead. Dewshine, Serpentberry, and… a kit. Again. Stars above, it almost felt like fate had tied him and Dewshine to the thunderpath and whatever strays found themselves near it. His ear twitched as the child's strange words drifted to him, riddles tumbling out of a mouth too small to hold such weight. Finally, with a quiet puff of breath, he pushed himself out of the brush. Confusion was plain on his face as he stepped into view, gaze narrowing on the little one. " If you wish to come with us, then that is what we will give you. " he rumbled softly.

His eyes flicked to Dewshine, softening just enough for a quick wink, before he moved closer. The mouse he'd caught was laid down within easy reach of the kit. " Before the travel back to our camp, perhaps you could eat something. Gather your strength. " he said, his voice gentler now though still edged with practicality. Only then did his sharp gaze cut to Serpentberry, ear flicking once. Whatever words she had brewing on her tongue, he braced for them, because wherever she was, her sharp tongue were usually heard.
