Returning with the stranger [open]

[thunder]

Spiderlilly felt funny with a kit in her mouth. She who didnt want kits, of course, found one abandoned on Riverclan territory. She awkwardly set the kit down in front of her and looked around the clearing, waiting for cats to ask where on earth he had come from. It was not a good season for a kit to show up in Riverclan, the prey was scarce and the cats were already underfed and tense.

The black little scrap of fur wiggled in front of her and looked up into her eyes, his dark brown eyes unblinking. He gave a shrill mew, but no understandable words were produced, just a mesh of odd sounds and hawk like crys.

Where did you come from? She thought looking down at him. He wasn't the kind of kit that made you feel warm and fuzzy, he had odd angular shaped appendages and his fur was a wild meadow of blackness. He looked underweight and sickly.

Why did I bring you back with me? I dont want a kit! but even as she thought it she felt herself drawn to him in a way she couldnt explain. She wanted to nurture him and keep him safe. This must be that 'motherly instinct' the queens were talking about she thought to herself. The one thing she knew for sure was the kit was going to need milk, and that was one thing she could not give him. The medicine cat should probably look him over as well.. that is if he was even aloud to stay. She had no say in that at all.

Coalstreak walked into the camp with three fish in his jaws, he had been at the river all morning. He noticed spiderlilly with a kit and was confused, was that her kit? he wondered. He dropped two of the fish in the fresh-kill pile and then brought one to her. Here, I got you this he said laying it down by her paws.

Spiderlilly looked up at him then down at the fish laying on the ground next to the kit. "Thanks Coalstreak" She blinked, not feeling her usual snarky self. On any other occasion she would have made some witty comment about having four paws to hunt herself or mock him for being a gentleman all of a sudden. Today tho, those such words did not form in her mind. "I found him near the border with windclan" She nosed the kit, which had stopped moving except the rise and fall of its little belly. Her whiskers twitched and the troublesome glow returned to her eyes. "Call me soft, but i couldnt leave the little scrap out there to die, not that he'd be any better of here"

Taken by surprise, coalstreak sat down next to spiderlilly and looked at the little kit. I wonder who could just do such a thing and leave him to die. he said to her. If you need any help with the little one, just ask he said with a smile. Anyways he wanted to get to know her and his days of seeing other she-cats were up. He wanted a relationship, one that could be for him but he wanted spiderlilly.

_{The white tom pushed his way out of the warriors den, and looked around the clearing; noticing Spiderlily with a kit? With a confused look he padded towards her and Coalstreak and said, "You had a kit?" he asked incredcuously. Looking more closely at the kit he realized that it wasn't a newborn, "Wait.. You didn't... Where did he come from?! He needs medicine cat attention! " He demanded.
Whitefrost sighed, feeling his heart softened by the kit, "Has Aspenfrost seen him? Does Jackalstar know?" he asked.}
