Creampelt had been chosen to lead the day's dawn patrol. Just before the sun had risen, she'd managed to wake herself up and gather the warriors that were supposed to be on patrol with her. They had set out and, so far, the patrol had been largely uneventful. She stopped the patrol every so often to renew the scent markers, but other than that, nothing was happening. Then, all of a sudden, a low, groaning creak made the cream colored she-cat stop in her tracks. She lifted her tail as a signal for her patrol to stop as well as she scanned the treetops. Then, sure enough, a splintering crack followed by a dull thud followed and the warrior breathed a sigh of relief that it wasn't one of the trees around the patrol that had fallen. She'd had enough experience with falling trees. "Should we go check it out?" Runningshadow asked as he came up behind the older warrior. Creampelt nodded. "Yes," she meowed. Without waiting for the rest of the patrol to respond, she bounded towards where she'd heard the tree fall.

When she got there the forest was quiet. Creampelt paced around the fallen tree and sniffed at the base. She was about to announce that it was all clear when she heard a sound that was a mix between a pitiful mewl and a moan. "Everyone be quiet for a moment," she hissed, straining her ears to listen. Sure enough she heard the sound again and she started sniffing around the tree trunk again. Where there was a tiny gap between the ground and the tree trunk, Creampelt caught the scent of what seemed to be a kit and heard another thin mew. It looked like the kit had been lucky enough to be resting in a dip in the ground, barely big enough to keep her safe as the tree fell on top of her. "There's a kit under there," she announced. "I want everybody digging!" As soon as she was finished instructing her patrol, she began digging at the gap. But the dirt was hard and progress was slow by herself. Runningshadow jumped over to the other side of the tree to try digging in another spot.

"And to think something like this once happened to you," Froststripe meowed as he made his way to another spot to dig. "Less talking and more digging," Butterflysky meowed to her younger brother as she took a spot next to Creampelt to dig.

Duskfern made her way to another part of the tree to start digging. "We are not made to dig like this," she muttered softly under her breath.

Creampelt ignored the grumblings of her clanmates. No cat deserved to be trapped under a tree like this. Especially not a kit. After a few more scrapes at the dirt, the warrior was finally able to fit her head far enough under the tree to grab the kit an drag it out. Its pale fur was coated with mud and dirt and, even though her eyes were closed periodic mews let them know she was alive.

Butterflysky stopped digging when the kit was pulled free and made her way over to Creampelt. "Why do you think a kit would be out here?" she asked softly. "And left alone at that?"

"We don't know that it's alone yet," Duskfern meowed. "It's mother could be nearby."

Dreamland set the kit by her paws. "Butterflysky, come with me to take the kit to Dayshimmer," she meowed. "Duskfern, you and the rest fan out and see if you can find its mother. If you find her you can bring her back to camp."

Butterflysky nodded and waited for Creampelt to take the lead while Froststripe sighed softly before heading out to see if he could find anything.

Duskfern nodded and darted off to see if she could find any trace of the kit's mother or even where she might have come from if she had wandered off.

Creampelt made sure she had a good grip on the kit's scruff as she started back towards camp.

Runningshadow set off with his nose to the ground and it wasn't long before he caught a scent that kind of smelled like the kit. "Duskfern!" he called. "I think I found something over here," he meowed before continuing to follow the train. Tallpines was nearby and the white and ginger warrior stopped shortly after leaving the dense cover of the forest. "It looks like it keeps going towards the twolegplace," he meowed over his shoulder to any cat who was listening.

Butterflysky trotted after her Clanmate. "If you'd like I could take the kit to Dayshimmer while to report what happened to Stormstar," she meowed.

Froststripe heard Runningshadow call out for Duskfern and trotted over to the older warrior. "So there's a good chance that our little guest is a kittypet," he meowed.

Duskfern trotted over to Runningshadow and sniffed the air herself and nodded. "Sure seems that way," she meowed.

Runningshadow kneaded the ground uncertainly. "So what will we do with it?" he asked. "Do we give it back to the twolegs or should we keep it in the Clan?" he asked.

Creampelt nodded and handed the kit over to Butterflysky. "Alright," she meowed. As soon as they made it back to camp, she lingered for a moment by the camp entrance before making her way over to her sister's den. "Stormstar, are you there?" she mewed as she got closer.

Froststripe shrugged. "I guess we could take it back to the twolegs," he meowed.

Butterflysky carefully picked up the kit and made her way to Dayshimmer's den. "Dayshimmer, we found a kit in the forest," she meowed.

Stormstar looked up from whatever she had been doing and nodded. "Yeah, come in Creampelt," she meowed.

"What happens to the kit is up to Stormstar," Duskfern meowed. "Come on, we should get back to camp and tell Stormstar and Creampelt what we found."
