lost and alone....{open}

Jackalkit disliked being on Ghost`s back,but he didn`t complain. Ghost was having enough trouble with Wolfkit aready. Suddenly, he saw a multicolored she-cat come speeding around the bracken. she stopped in front of Ghost."How can I help Ghost?",she said. Before Ghost could answer,Jackalkit said," Who are you? How do you know Ghost? The one in her mouth is Wolfkit,the one next to me is Coyotekit,and I`m Jackalkit!"

[Rascally]

Ghost Blinked some As she moved down the Trail struggling with Wolfkit in her jaws. She came to a stop as She Saw Vinepaw and smiled slightly. "Hello" She said through her clentched jaws. But before she could say anything else she shook her head as she heard Jacklekit. "She is in The Clan we are going to Jacklekit" She said as she talked She knew Wolfkit would not like that but it would serve the kit right. This kit needed manners And Ghost was one to teach him. She moved her head slightly Motioning to the kits on her back. And as if saying. Take one of them.

[☮iSLY]

Coyotekit's head snapped around as he saw another cat appear. His ears twitched and he stared at the she-cat curiously. He wondered what a clan was, and wondered how these cats knew eachother. He blinked and decided he wanted to be carried, he jumped down, alittle wobbly at first and padded infront of Vinepaw, letting out a small mew. "Hi." he said, big amber eyes wide as he stared up at the slightly smaller cat than Ghost was.

[Sheer]

"Let, me, GO!" Wolfkit roared. Does this crazy cat think that I really care if I die? Why not? Hopefully being dead doesn't involve annoying siblings who don't have half a brain, crazy strangers who just run up and try to help you, and most of all other cats!! Are all animals this crazy or did our species take special charm lessons?! his mind was fuming and it felt like something was going to blow inside of him. Hopefully not his brain, he still needed that thing. He stumbled away to the edge of the undergrowth, if this 'Ghost' cat made one more move towards him he's going to bolt. No need to worry about his two annoying brothers anymore. If they liked being around other cats, that was none of his business. All he knew was that being carried around wasn't only humiliating, it was also painful. Haven't this world got enough tortures for him without an extra one?

[Rascally]

Ghost opened her jaws hearing the kit yell And she let him drop to the ground. She shook out her hair. Gently. Began to move off. "Alright. Well then It will be just coyotekit and Jacklekit with us then. She said. She began to move off towards the camp. Leaving Wolf kit alone in the cold. "Vinepaw you can get Coyotekit if you dont mind" she said

[Sheer]

"Fine with me." Wolfkit muttered, immeditely after being dropped the pain in his neck stopped. He rubbed the back of his neck along the spinal cord to ease out the cramp that had formed there. He shook the water off his auburn paws reveling in feeling the ground beneath them. He felt so much better now, being free of strangers that his temper almost immeditely simmered down. It felt good again, like the air was clean and fresh even in this marsh. With that he bounded into a clump of horsetail and took a quick glance around before padding through the pine needles.

[ḞḶIṆṪ]

Wishers twitching, Vinepaw watched with interest. Turning her long back on Wolfkit she crouched and sniffed the silvery one. It was a bit regrettable that this kit was the friendliest, he was also the biggest and looked to have the most muscle to him. Those tough limbs would one day mean he might make a powerful runner or fighter. Right now though, It meant she was going to get a powerful cramp in her neck. That was, If Vinepaw would even be able to pick him up right. Sure, she enjoyed rolling with the kits and bounding over them but picking the up to be carried? For a long walk at that! It was a new idea for her and she found it difficult to wrap her jaws over his shoulders.

Being a small cat, Coyotekit wasn’t all she could manage but he was a burden. Not having all her warrior strength yet meant his paws were only a mouse length or so above the ground and his ears jutted into her vision. Having been springing and dancing about for moons though, Vinepaw didn’t stumble as walked and came on heavy steps beside Ghost so that the two more tolerable brothers were practically right next one another. A brief nod signaled her readiness to be off.

Behind the apprentice could only guess at Wolfkits location. She had to hope he was still behind them, brilliant eyes drilling in there pelts. No, Vinepaw didn’t want to leave him but dragging the tom back to camp would probably hurt him and he’d never like Shadowclan because of it. Starclan, Vinepaw wasn’t even sure how well Shadowclan was going to be liking these three. Unease stirred in her mind as she waited to start off. There was only one thing to do. The two clan mates had to at least try to get all the kits back to camp.

[sandstar7]

Jumping off of Ghost`s back Jackalkit was smoking with fury.How can they just let Wolfkit go like that?! Didn`t these crazy cats know any thing about family? Jackalkit raced after Wolfkit,not caring if his brother turned on him."Wolfkit!",he cried, Wait for me! If you leave,then I`m coming with you! And I`m not going to take no for an answer,even if it means my life!",more calmly,he mewed," I know that you hate me and Coyotekit,and everyone else for caring about you and wanting to help,but if you`re gonna run off,you need someone to watch your back when it`s turned in a different direction. I`m want to be that someone." And that it was true. So very,very true.Please don`t turn around and snap at me,Wolfkit!Jackalkit thought,Just let me come with you!

[ḞḶIṆṪ]

Wiggling about, Vinepaw just caught sight of the reddish one leaping clumsily down and scampering over to the amber one. Gosh, for such a little kit he’d probably spoken more then some of the warriors had in there whole life’s! Strangely she found herself liking him at that moment less then Wolfkit. They had had a chance of the brown tom following behind them before, that was ruined now. Irritation stabbing at her, she suddenly noticed her teeth griped Coyotekit to hard.

Worried of hurting of him, the tom-kit was placed upon Ghosts back again. The dark apprentice backed away. She felt strange around these kits. Like every heartbeat brought her closer to messing up with them. This wasn’t within the safety of there camp where the queens would rush to there screaming children. All them were alone out here and Ghost and her were responsible for there lives. Vinepaw took another step back, frowning as she did so. She felt to young and small to have such a burden on her, little kits had never been more of a handful then these!

Spirit wailing like a kit itself, Vinepaw angrily reminded herself she was not a kit. She was on her way to warriorship and needed to start acting like it! Taking in a cold and steadying breath, her pelt rippled as she turned around but moved not closer to there little companions. Wont you at least see Shadowclan? She pleaded, desperately tiring to think of something that would entice them to go. I mean, you’d at least be able to stay alive until your were old enough to actually survive out here. We’d teach you to hunt and fight. . .there’d be food. Stumbling over the sentence she fell silent and gazed sadly over the duo.

[Rascally]

Ghost rolled her eyes some. As the little brown kit stormed off then she watched as Jacklekit followed after him. She rolled her eyes and then blinked as Vinepaw put Coyote back on her back. She followed after Vinepaw. "Alright I will tell you What. Its a long walk back to Camp. You are more then Welcome to walk besides us But Please Do not let your pride or your Ego get in the way of calling for help if you get to cold Or tired to go on And then you can Ride on our backs if you wish not to be carried by the mouth But you two will surly die if you stay out here by yourselfs You dont know how to hunt or fend for yourselves" She stated. " So what do you say Are you willing to walk on your own accord next to Me and Vinepaw?" she asked them.

[ḞḶIṆṪ]

OCC: Remember that Jackalkit, Coyotekit, and Wolfkit are two weeks old! They may be able to talk but it would be impossible for them to walk with much corrdination and running is out of the picture. Sry guys but this is playing out like there several moons old already. Its pretty much they need to be carried or will have to sit.

[sandstar7]

After going 10 fox-lengths,Jackalkit began to tire,then to a complete stop. Breathing heavily,Jackalkit turned around and could just make out Ghost`s and Vinepaw`s pelts. Regreting to even think of leaving to go after Wolfkit. And Wolfkit was nowhere in sight. I guess he heard me coming and didn`t want me to stay,Jackalkit thought,Maybe I should just go back to Ghost and Vinepaw to that camp of theirs.Slowly,ever so slowly, He padded toward the sound of theirs voices."W-wait for me! Wait!Ghost!I`ll come with you!"he cried. Stumbling along,Jackalkit tried to run,but he tripped and fell. Tears of frustration found their way down his face. What was he to do now?

[Sheer]

"You're such a fool Jackalkit, you could've just gone with Ghost and Coyotekit. It would've been better, think about it. I wouldn't have to waste my time being mad at you guys and you wouldn't have an ungrateful fur ball around anymore." The auburn kitten mewed quietly. He was yelling anymore, either because of his brother's misguided loyalty or just because he couldn't believe how dumb kittens could be. He slipped back weaving through the marsh following his own footprints back to Jackal kit, "You know what? That was a low blow! Coming after me trying to be all gallant like that. You're a crazy fool Jackalkit. Come on, let's find Ghost." He started bounding through the marshes. The mud dragged at his fur and his paws where numb from cold but it wasn't bad, not that bad. "Sorry if your tired by now but we have to first find some dry ground. Cold water steals your energy."

[Rascally]

Ghost felt the kit jump down. And she blinked. Some. SHe shook her head. Slightly and looked at Vinepaw. THen she heard Jacklekits Cry "Take Coyotekit." When she had taken the kit. sHe spun around and lept into the marshes. The kits could get sucked down and drowned in there they were only about two weeks. Old. She saw the kit struggling And her heart flared and her eyes narrowed at the site of wolfkit. She quickly slid to a stop and picked up Jacklekit. She could tell Wolfkit was getting cold. "I should just kill you right now you ungreatful brat" she hissed at him. swinging her paw at him. "Your Worthless Youve signed your own deathwarrent comming into the marshes" She spat. Keeping a tight hold on Jacklekit

[Sheer]

"Yeah yeah, you'll have to do better if you want to scare me. At leat if I'm dead there won't be anymore annoying cats like you around!" he snarled the last part. He was so angry now that he felt raging hot on the inside despite his outside fur probably being cold and wet. "Do whatever you want."
