( Mother Dark) She thought for a moment, deciding on what she would do next. She thought about maybe actually joining this cat's clan, cause she could probably cause more mischief from the inside. Then, she thought of going limp and slipping away. Eventually she mewed, "I think I've come to a surprising conclusion." As she said it, she looked into the tom's eyes to see how he would react. |

"And what decision is that?" Basilwhisker growled. He was getting a little annoyed by the cat under him.

Foxkit purred, delighted when Wishkit praised all of them. When she asked him where they should start with their search he looked around. "Hm. Not at the entrance, the others will notice if anything tries to get in so there's no need for us," he said. "A smart intruder would pick some other way, right? We could start with the camp wall near the elders' den. It's probably safe but we can't get careless because of that."
Weaselkit sat down in one "nest" and nodded at Gazekit's words. She licked her paw and wiped it over her ear a few times to clean it. She paused when she saw Wolfkit approaching who was still holding up his "injured" paw. He chose the "nest" next to hers and began cleaning his "wound" too.
Heronflight
"Yes, that would be our best option. No cat wants to feel useless, least of all a leader. But a little help never hurt anybody." She gave a quiet chuckle when she took another look at the playing kits. Just two more moons and they would become apprentices. Hopefully Thymestar didn't get worse until then. As for easing the leader's burdens, maybe Heronflight could talk to Nightwhisker and Sagespirit about it. Without letting Thymestar know, of course. But her thoughts were interrupted when she caught the scent of a stranger. Alarmed, she sat up and looked to the camp's entrance. When she saw Adderheart she relaxed a little but the elder still stared at the cat the young warrior had brought.
Adderheart opened her mouth to warn Malvina that the clan would probably be suspicious of her and could react with hostility at first, but upon seeing the determination in the she-cat's eyes she realized that it wouldn't be necessary. So she just nodded, turned around and motioned Malvina to follow with a flick of her tail. As she reached the camp entrance she grew nervous. She just hoped that Wovensight and Snowdapple had returned from their hunt already. If the clan saw Malvina and Wovensight in the same place, surely they could tell that there was some similarity. Those two had the same eyes. Hopefully that would be some help. Adderheart looked behind her for a second. "Alright, here it is. Your real home." She took a deep breath and stepped into the clearing. The moment she and Malvina entered the camp she was all too aware of the stares of some of her clanmates. It took her a second to steel herself, then she looked up again, took a step forward and called "Look who found her way back to us! Many seasons ago Wovensight's sister disappeared and now she has finally made her way back home!" She stepped aside so the clan could see the newcomer properly but stayed right next to her, in case anyone would openly voice their doubts.
Darkclaw
Darkclaw still sat near the nursery and watched the kits. Gazekit sure is serious about becoming Sagespirit's apprentice, he thought with a purr. The his purring turned into a quiet snarl when he smelled a unknown cat. Had a rogue found their camp? He jumped to his paws as someone entered the camp. To his surprise the stranger was accompanied by his sister, Adderheart. Why would she not only allow a loner to enter their territory but also bring them to their camp? At his sister's words he became even more confused. He had heard about the disappeared Smokekit every once in a while but he hadn't known her and had no idea what she was supposed to look like. How could Adderheart be so sure that this loner was the lost kit? He walked over to the two she-cats, his gaze never leaving the loner. When he was close enough to get a good look at the stranger he took a step back in surprise. She did look like she could be related to Wovensight.
(I'll post the starters for Rainsong and Cenra tomorrow)

Wovensight was laughing lightly as he watched the kits play, his gaze darting to Snowdapple every once in a while before suddenly the camp seemed to shift into an entirely different place, his eyes going wide as he looked over at the entrance to the camp when Adderheart walked in with a loner... a loner that looked all to familiar. His breathing quickened as his body moved on it's own, the tom rushing forward to stand in front of the she-cat, gazing deep into her eyes for several long moments as though he was frightened to do anything more.
Malvina's eyes began to water once more when she saw her brother run toward her. She had remembered his eyes, after all, they stared back at her anytime she looked into her reflection. The other stopped short of her and seemed to be frightened, scared, in disbelief that she could have possibly returned. Wait! Her ear... from birth she had always had a black bump inside her left ear and as kits Wovensight would always mess with her about it. The she-cat took a deep breath and moved her head so the other could see into her ear.
Wovensight began to cry in full when he saw the birthmark that had belonged to his sister and all his emotions came flowing out at once. "Smoke!" He jumped at her, knocking them both into the grass as he licked and nuzzled at her face, smiling and purring the whole time as Malvina did the same.

"Good idea lets go!" Wishkit said and bounded toward the elder's den her nose up smelling to see if there was anything she can smell.
"Okay. Time for me to inspect your wounds." Gazekit said setting down the moss he had grabbed. He walked over to Weaselkit and peered at her ear. Oh I see the problem here. And grabbed some cobwebs and stuck them where the ear was "bleeding". "That should stop the bleeding". He waited for her to nod approval before he moved on to Wolfkit.
Turtlepool went to reply back to Heronflight and but instead her jaw dropped. She scented the air and blinked a few times. "Is that who I think it is?" She said quietly.

( Mother Dark) "I think..." she hesitated, clearly unsure if she was making the right move. "I think I'm going to join your clan." she mewed, her voice shaking a little as she said it. She looked up at Basilwhisker to see what he thought about this. |

And I have to trust you not to cause trouble and not hurt any of your future clanmates." Basilwhisker said carefully stepping off of Sakura. "You have to promise you won't do something stupid." |

( Mother Dark) "Uh, I can't promise anything, but I don't plan on hurting anyone," she mewed slyly. She did have intentions, but none of those included hurting others. Unless they got in her way. "Lead the way, O' Mighty Basilwhisker," she teased as she pushed herself off the ground. |

Basilwhisker nodded and led Sakura deeper into Thymeclan territory for a while before he stopped. "Now I've been thinking about it and I don't know how much I trust you. Maybe we should wait here for a minute until I can sort out what type of mischief you might be planning." He sat down with a pensive look on his face. He scratched his head with his back foot and winced when it streched his wounds.

( Mother Dark) "You're wasting your time. I might find the camp by myself," Sakura said, pacing along a line of bushes. She occasionally stopped to sniff the air incase other cats were around. |

"You won't because I took you towards another one of our borders. I don't know if I can trust you and the camp is the heart of our clan. There are kits and elders who need my judgement to be sound." Basilwhisker growled.

( Mother Dark) "Hmm, sounds complicated. I'll leave you to think then," she mews with a huff. She had scented a mouse in the bushes. She crouched down, getting ready to pounce. Then she remembered something she had overheard once and sat down, glancing over at Basilwhisker. "O' Mighty Basilwhisker, may I hunt this small mouse for us?" she teased, flicking her tail toward the bushes. |

Adderheart and Darkclaw
Adderheart stepped away from Malvina and Wovensight, not wanting to get in the way of their reunion. As happy as she was for them she was also incredibly relieved that the whole thing seemed to have worked out. Wovensight had recognized his sister and the rest of the clan, at least those who were old enough to have seen her before, seemed to show no distrust to her as well. Adderheart grinned at Darkclaw, who still looked a bit confused about what was going on. It was a good thing that Wovensight had come to see Malvina before Darkclaw had had a chance to question her. While they usually didn't talk much to each other the two tabbies trusted each other blindly and seldom argued, and Adderheart would have hated it if she had to justify her actions to her littermate.
Heronflight
Heronflight just shook her head, not quite believing what she was seeing. "It really is her," she said, only managing a whisper. "I never would have thought... I was so sure we would never see her again." She just stared at Wovensight and his sister and smiled, thinking about the late mother of those two. "Pheasantwing must be so happy now. If only she were here to witness this for herself..."
Foxkit
Foxkit ran after Wishkit, looking around and scenting the air. Upon reaching the elders den he noticed two things: there suddenly was a new scent in the air and Turtlepool and Heronflight were staring at the camp's entrance. "What's going on?," he whispered to Wishkit. "Who is that and why is no one trying to chase her out?" Wovensight seemed to know this cat and many of his clanmates looked like they recognized her too. Foxkit had never really listened to the hushed whispers of the older warriors and elders. Was this new cat what they had been talking about? Then she had to be a Thymeclan cat, too. There was so much Foxkit wanted to ask his clanmates and this loner.
Weaselkit and Wolfkit
Weaselkit stifled a giggle when Gazekit put the cobwebs on her ear. "Yeah, that's much better already. Thanks!" She meowed. Next to her Wolfkit had finished cleaning his paw. "I must have cut it on a rock when that fox threw me off," he meowed and after a second he grimaced, remembering that something like that was supposed to hurt.
Rainsong
Rainsong slowly made his way back towards camp, carrying a mouse and a vole in his jaws. He had hunted for a bit, watched the sunlight filtering through the leaves and forming shapes on the forest floor, tried to find some more prey and finally decided to go back. The white-and-black mottled warrior wasn't in any hurry, though, and had taken his time on his way home. Now as he was nearing the entrance he noticed that something must have happened. There was that scent, of course. Some loner or rogue had made their way here and judging by the lack of angry hisses and other hostile noises they had been welcomed by the clan. Or at least not chased away. Then there was just that strange feeling as he finally entered camp as well. To Rainsong it seemed like there was this weird atmosphere. That stranger, whoever they were, must have really stirred something in his clanmates. When he finally took a look at the scene in front of him he understood. It took him a while to actually believe it but this she-cat, this loner who had found their territory and probably had been led to their camp... there was no doubt about it. Smokekit, or whatever she called herself now, was finally back where she truly belonged.
Cenra
The calico she-cat crept closer to the vole she was watching and pounced on it. She had stepped over the scent markers to catch this vole but Cenra didn't really care. A vole was a vole and it tasted great no matter where she caught it. While she knew that those scent markers were supposed to signal to others that this was territory of... whatever those cats called themselves again it would take more than some stupid border to stop her from hunting. It wasn't the first time she did this. She had entered their territory quite a few times. Sometimes no one had noticed her, other times she had been caught. Whenever that happened she just grabbed her catch and fled but the had been times where she had to leave her prey behind. Still, it didn't really bother her. Or not enough to prevent her from hunting here. As far as she was concerned the prey belonged to the one who caught it, where she caught it didn't matter. She had never understood those cats who lived here. But then again she had never really talked to them. The only words they had exchanged were about borders and prey and who it belonged to. Cenra had never challenged those cats and had always retreated whenever they had confronted her, with or without whatever she had caught, but she had also made it clear that she didn't respect their borders.

"I guess you can. The queens and kits and elders have already been fed." Basilwhisker said getting annoyed by the other cat mocking him and being overall pretty sassy. "You know if you join the clan they might ask you to change your name?" He added thoughtfully.

"I can't believe our luck. We must have dine something good for the miracle of a missing kit returned. Even if it has been such a long time" Turtlepool said all talk of the ailing leader was forgotten now. Turtlepool drank in the strange sight trying to picture how this cat could be the little kit a loner stole all those moons ago.
"I don't know. But she must be safe or we would have been snatched up and hidden already." Wishkit said trying to stay calm despite everyone seeming to be so shocked over the new arrival. She wasn't too concerned and continued to sniff around looking for foxes.
Gazekit nodded thoughtfully. "Okay well lets get this paw wrapped up so you don't get any dirt in your scratch." Gazekit said taking more of the cobwebs and wrapping it all around Wolfkit's paw so that the wound was padded.
(I really want to see this drawn out now. Just 3 kits and two of them being covered in cobwebs by the third while there is drama going on with the rest of the clan)

Malvina finally stood once more, taking deep breaths as she smiled widely. "I'm happy to see you again Wovensight but be a little more careful with me will ya? I'm carrying more weight than I know what to do with right now." She let out a slight laugh as her belly hung beneath her once more now that she had stood back up, showing all to much that she was expecting a litter of kits.
Wovensight noticed his sisters distended belly and his eyes lit up even more as he suddenly cried out, "I'm gonna be an uncle!"

( Mother Dark ) "Change my name... My mother gave me my name! They won't take it away from me!" she yowled, forgetting about the mouse all together. She began pacing once more, questioning her decision about joining this clan. As she did, a vole scurried out from the bushes, straight at Sakura. She noticed in time and slammed her paw upon the dumb creature. She bent her head to bite into it, then picked it up and tossed it over at Basilwhisker. "There, I'm not hungry anymore," she mewed angrily. |

"There, I'm not hungry anymore," she mewed angrily. "I'm just telling you it is common practice for cats who join the clan to change their names. We have a queen and her brother who came to the clan. They changed their names from Snow and Splash to Snowdapple and Ivysplash and the queen named her kit in the clan's way. I could see if you made a request where the leader might let you keep your unique name." Basilwhisker then looked down at the vole and sniffed it. He took a small bite off of it. |

She looks up into the branches and continues, "If you have made up your mind about me, can we get going please?" |

I would guess that Thymestar would probably have you pick your own name." Basilwhisker said getting up and leading Sakura once again towards the clan. "What was your mother's name?" He asked after they had been walking for a while. |

( Mother Dark) "Her name was Raven. I didn't know her though, as she died a little while after I was born," Sakura's tail drooped as she said it, going back through her memories was something she almost never did. Then she shook her head, clearing it from the saddest memories. "Anyway, what's clan life like?" she asked with a hint of curiosity in her mew. |

He purred. |

( Mother Dark) "That's a good idea. Clan names are a two part like yours, I'm assuming?" she asked, twitching her tail. Then she added, "I've been on my own for most of my life, so family is a strange topic for me." Sakura growled under her breath as she remembered the harsh winter moons and welcoming spring moons. |

"Yeah they are two parts. Kits,apprentices, and leaders all have a special ending but warriors have all sorts of endings." Basilwhisker explained. He chattered on about names as they walked towards the camp. (This is gonna be crazy two loners in camp at the same time) |

( Mother Dark) "Huh, interesting," she mewed, then sniffed the air. It suddenly smelled of a lot of unfamiliar cats. She paused, still questioning her choice she had made. She looked around nervously, thinking that maybe she should just run back to her den. (Yup, I can't wait to see what happens) |

Thymestar stood where he was looking over at the camp entrance where a commotion seemed to be happening. He squinted watching what was unfooding but was confused as to what exactly was happening. He decided to keep watch from where he was as he continued to groom himself though rather than approach the strange cat who seemed to have been brought into his home.
Upon hearing Wovensight shout that he was going to be an uncle Snowdapple moved to start making another nest in her den. There was the fresh moss that had just been brought in that day waiting for her and she spread it out a comfortable distance from her own nest and the nest of Wolfkit, Foxkit, and Weaselkit. Once she was done she stepped back out of the den to watch her kits play.

Foxkit glanced at the newcome one more time, still wanting to know more about her. But he couldn't just run over to her and his clanmates and bombard her with his questions. They clearly were in the middle of something and wouldn't want to be interrupted. At least as far as he could tell. So he just joined Wishkit in patrolling the camp walls near the elders den.
Weaselkit grinned. She probably looked pretty funny with those cobwebs and the same could be said about Wolfkit, with his paw wrapped up with moss. Her brother meowed a thank you to Gazekit and Weaselkit looked in the direction of the elders den, wondering how Wishkit and Foxkit were coming along with their patrol.
Heronflight gave a happy purr in agreement to Turtlepool, then she padded over to Wovensight and his sister. Upon hearing that she was expecting kits she purred even louder. So not only had their lost clanmate returned, there were also going to be more kits for the clan to raise. She gave the she-cat a warm smile and looked her over. "Welcome home," she said finally.
Rainsong was still standing there with his mouse and vole. He finally tore his gaze from the loner and padded over to the fresh-kill pile to drop off his prey. He sat down a few paces away from it and watched her and his clanmates.
Adderheart shook her head and laughed. "Oh right, I should have mentioned that right away when I brought her here," she meowed with an amused smile. "Sorry 'bout that. Oh well, Looks like Snowdapple is already taking care of it."
(Oh man, they will not be too happy about the second loner. Party ruined in three, two, one... xD)
