Bramblestar sighed. "I-I'm not sure yet" she admitted. "But no kit deserves to be abandoned and we should help it in any way we can, even if it's by saving a rogue" she stated confidently.

Petalfoot nodded to Bramblestar and let out a sigh, “Well is there anything I can do to help? I feel useless just sitting here and staring” Shrewface returned from the medicine cats den and licked a wound on his shoulder, “We can go make sure that fox is gone, who knows if it has a den somewhere around here” he said between licks

"Bramblestar, should we go hunting? Since we have another mouth to feed. We can stay near the camp since that fox may still be out there." Willowmist insisted, while wrapping her tail around her paws to keep warm.

Shrewface nodded to Willowmist and went to stand next to the she cat, “I like that idea, we need to keep this fresh kill pile stocked and our bellies full” He meowed

Rainsong approached Willowmist and Shrewface. "May I join your hunting party? I don't like just waiting around. I want to do something to help." She mewwed.

Shrewface nodded, “Yes, that would be helpful Rainsong! We need all the help we can get”

Rainsong noded gratefully, “Thank you. Shall we get going?” she mewed, her tail flicking back and forth in anticipation.

Shrewface waved his tail and started towards the camp entrance, “Let’s get going” He meowed briskly

"Okay. But we should stay close to camp and keep an eye out for that fox.", Willowmist meowed to the others. "Let's go. "Hopefully there's prey out."

Shrewface placed his tail on Willowmists shoulder, “We’ll stay close just Incase” he said reassuringly. He padded next to the she cat and scented the air but was still congested with snot, “Can you smell anything? I...uh..I’m having a hard time scenting anything” he whispered sheepishly

Rainsong sniffed the air, “I think the coast is clear,” she mewed as they ventured out into the woods. She took careful steps, to avoid alerting prey, and the fox, to their presence.

Petalfoot waded through the forest her body close to the ground, "I think two of us should stand watch while the other two hunt" she meowed thoughtfully while keep her eyes focused on any signs of movement

"Good idea, Petalfoot. I'll keep watch first.", Willowmist mewed in agreement.

"Alright. Shrewface and I can hunt then. Once we catch something, we can trade places," she mewed, then began to prowl through the underbrush, her ears attuned to any sounds around her. Finally, she heard a rustle in the bushes to her left. Rainsong sniffed the air. Vole! She slowly made her way closer, her claws unsheathed and her mouth slightly ajar. When she got close enough, she pounced, and quickly ended the creature's life. The she-cat thanked Starclan for it, then began to make her way back towards the others, with the vole in her mouth.

Redkit squirmed and finished getting milk from her mother. Blinking her amber eyes more she finally began to understand her surroundings and where she was. She squeaked softly, padding around within a safe distance from her mother, not noticing the she-cat's condition.

Willowmist kept watch as Rainsong and Shrewface went hunting. She perked her ears up when she heard a rustling in front of her. She sniffed the air and could smell a familiar scent and then Rainsong appeared with a vole between her jaws.

Foxleap smiled,”Thank you for the moss.” She said, before turning to the kit. “Don’t worry, you’re safe now. Your mother needs to rest little one.” She watched the cats flank move as she breathed. “I need to change her cobwebs..” she mumbled to herself. “Maybe I’ll let her sleep a bit longer.”

Redkit blinked her eyes and looked up at Foxleap. "Who you?" she mewed, her paws shuffling on the ground. Bramblestar's eyes widened as she watched the kit, seeing her speak, though albeit incorrectly.

“I’m Foxleap, the medicine cat of Seedclan. Who are you?” She asked the kid, surprise in her voice. “Do you know where you came from?”

Redkit shook her head. "I small. I-I" The kit was clearly new to speaking. The phrases she said were disjointed and as the kit thought as she talked, it could be inferred she was trying to remember what her mom use to say. Redkit looked back to her mom and placed her paws on her chest, shaking her lightly. "Mama? You sleep?" she mewed before sitting back down, thinking her mom was tired.

Foxleap nudged Redkit with her paw. “She must sleep, she’s very tired.” She told the kit. “You should try to rest too.”

Redkit pouted a bit before agreeing and laying down next to her mother's belly to sleep.
Bramblestar sighed and pulled Foxleap aside. "The mother doesn't seem to be doing too well..."

Shrewface lowered himself into a hunting crouch seeing a small mouse scurrying just a few tail lengths away, he narrowed his eyes and slowly crept forward his paws landing lightly on the ground. He made the leap and gave the mouse a quick bite to its spine killing it instantly, “This is the best luck we’ve had in a while!” He purred excitedly
Petalfoot was gazing off into the distance thinking of how the kit was doing back at camp, “We should head back soon” she said quietly.

Foxleap nodded to Bramblestar. “I’m afraid her wound is too much for her to recover from.” He voice cracked. “We should try to prepare for the worst, who would take care of Redkit? If she doesn’t make it, we have no Queens she could nurse from.”

Bramblestar's ears flattened. "I-Is there a substitute for milk or...or" Bramblestar's mind raced as she tried to think of a solution to help the kit. "Foxleap there has to be something"

“Maybe we could find a kittypet that could help?” She suggested “I’m sorry, I’m not sure what else to do.. unless there’s a cat expecting kits we don’t know about..” Her shoulders sank with despair. “Maybe Starclan will send me a message.”

"The only place a kittypet may be is in the Two-leg village" Bramblestar murmured. "There's access to it within our territory but we'd have to be very careful. I could take a group of warriors to check it out and see if there is a mother who could take care of Redkit... even if it means giving her up to them" she muttered, looking back to the sleeping ginger she-kit.

Willowmist had caught a pair of chipmunks while she was out on the hunting patrol. She carried the two limb chipmunks between her jaws back to camp. She prayed to Starclan all the prey that had been caught today would be enough for her clanmates.

Shrewface flicked his tail at Willowmist, “Nice catch! There will be no one going hungry tonight” He meowed approvingly of the she cat
Petalfoot stood up, “Let’s go back, I’d like to see if Foxleap needs any help with the kit” she meowed briskly. Without waiting to see if her clan mates were following her, Petalfoot started towards the camp her pelt prickling with worry

Bramblestar caught the scent of Petalfoot as the she-cat fast approached camp. Sighing she took another look at Redkit before padding to the entrance to meet her warrior.
