*throws a story at you* I've been planning this for a while, actually. x'D __________________________________________________ . : P R O L O U G E : . Ashpaw was outside of the RiverClan camp hunting.He walked up to a river and saw a big fish! He sat down and reached his paw in the water but found out it was a kit! Puzzled, he picked up the kit with his jaws but found a weird scent... almost like a rogue's. He looked behind him but nothing was there. But, he turned back to find that a she-cat was in front of him across the river. "Give that kit to me!" she growled. Ashpaw sniffed the kit, but it didn't have the same scent as the she-cat, nor did it have the scent of milk. "I don't think this is yours." Ashpaw replied. The she-cat's fur bristled as she recognized Ashpaw's scent. "Your a RiverClan cat!" she snarled. "How dare you ruin my father's work! Give that kit to me, or have your ears clawed off!" Ashpaw's tail twitched and he ran off to camp with the kit in his jaws. While on the way back to camp, he was running so fast that he bumped into a tree, head first. He shook his head but felt dizzy. He quickly fell over, with the kit in his jaws. ~Someone protect the kit...~ he thought. What seemed like a few moments, he woke up with the kit in his jaws. Still feeling a little dizzy, he walked back to the RiverClan camp. All his clanmates saw him, wondering where he went, and rushed over to him. He put down the kit for everyone to see. One of the queens, Ashpaw's mother to be exact, ran over to him and groomed his fur . "Sweetie, you're okay! Where were you?" she meowed frantically between licks. A few moments later, the kit let out a mew and everyone turned to it. "Was that a kit?" asked one of the other apprentices, Tumblepaw. The leader, Splashstar, ran out of his den and picked up the kit. "Ashpaw, is this another clan kit?" he asked. Ashpaw shook his head in reply. "No, I found it beside the river, a rouge was trying to take it. I checked the kit's scent but it didn't smell like the rogue, or another clan cat, so I took it here." Splashstar took a quick sniff of the kit. "Hm, I'll announce it at the gathering that we'll be keeping this kit." he meowed. Tumblepaw looked unsure. "Isn't that a wrong thing to do? What if the kit's mother is looking for her? What if she attacks camp?" Splashstar thought for a moment, and a few heartbeats later he meowed, "This kit looks like it's mother didn't care for her. Most likely her mother is dead, so I don't think she'll attack the camp. RiverClan needs more kits anyways." Splashstar flicked his tail and Ashpaw and then to the kit. Ashpaw walked over to the kit and picked it up with his jaws. He padded to the nursery and padded to Tumblepaw's mother, who had some kits of her own. "Ravenpool?" Ashpaw called. Ravenpool came out of the darkest corner of the nursery. "What?" Ravenpool answered. Ashpaw put down the kit and Ravenpool's eyes widened. "Another kit?" she asked. Ashpaw nodded. Ravenpool picked up the kit and put it in a group of her other kits. "I'll take care of this kit like I was her real mother, I promise."she vowed. "Do you have any names?" Ashpaw thought for a moment. He's never named a kit before. "Er, Silverkit?" he suggested. Ravenpool jumped up and down excitedly. "That's a great name! I'll name her Silverkit." Ashpaw touched noses with the kit, and before he left, he whispered, "Welcome to RiverClan, young one."
