Specklekit had arrived at the moor just as the sun was peeking over the horizon. She was tired. For a little kit it was a long way. She decided to rest for a little while. Specklekit found a bramble bush and squeezed under it. She rested in its cool shade. Soon she drifted off into sleep. Specklekit woke with a start she dashed out of the bush. The sun was high in the sky. Her stomach growled and told her it was hungery. So Specklekit followed her stomache on the search of an easy snack. It wasn't long before she scented a field mouse. she crouched as low as she could and instinct took over. She knew exactly where the mouse was. Then all of a sudden she pounced. She looked down with satisfaction as she saw the dead mouse between her paws. She crouched down and ate it in a few swift gulps. Then Specklekit scented somthing like no other thing she had scented before. It was a strange oder. Potent and foul she headed in the direction it came from. Soon she arrived at a big burrow. The scent wafted from the opening telling Specklekit that whatever it was that was producing the scent was inside. Her curisosity overwhelmed her and she took a few tentitive steps closer. When nothing happened Specklekit decided to go inside. The burrow was dark and mysterious. The oder was almost unberable but her curiosity was stronger than her nose.
A mile away a grey cat was out for a stroll. His name was Milo. He was a wanderer and he had just happened to be in Hawkclan territory. He was stalking a mouse when he heard somthing.
Back at the burrow Specklekit was deep into it. The murky blackness and strong oder blocking all of her senses except for her hearing. Then she heard it a low and menacing growl. It had come from right in front of her and then it happened the attack!
Milo looked up when he heard a blood curtiling yowl for help. He didn't know why but suddenly he was running full tilt twoard the sound. Then when he got closer it came into view it was a badger set. The noise had come from in there.
The badger had nearly missed Specklekits skull. Because of its poor eyesight Specklekit was able to dash around and start heading the way she came. But she was being pursued. The badger was right on her tail. She lept out of the set and fell into the sunlight. The light temporaroly blinded her and gave the badger an advantadge. When Specklekit had recovered from the fall the badger was right over her. she gave a pitiful mewl for mercy but then all of a sudden a grey blur came and landed squarley on the shoulders of the big male badger.
Milo had thrown himself into battle he saw the little kit trembling under the massive badger. So he didn't have to think twice. He got a running start and lept. He landed on the badger and gave it a swift and deep bite to the throat. The badger whirled around forgeting all about the little kit under him. Now his main focuse was the thing of fury on his back. The badger tried to fling his attacker off but Milo was held firmly in place with his claws.
Specklekit was stunned. She couln't move all she could do was watch in awe as the grey cat clutched on firmily giving the badger a good piece of his mind.
Milo was getting tired so he knew he had to act fast. He jumped off of the badger's back and swiftly picked up the little kit with his jaws. The kit made an intiating mewl of discomfort but then fell silent. Milo knew the badger would not pursue. He had given him a few scars to remember him by and he knew the badger wanted no more of him. None the less Milo kept on running and running until he couln't breath anymore. He clapsed and put the kit down.
Specklekit fell from the grey cats mouth with a thud. She didn't know exactly what had happened but she knew that this cat had just saved her life. and she was grateful. "Thank you Mr. Cat"
Milo turned his head to look at the beddraggled ball of fur. " Your are welcome little one. Now we have to get you home. Do you know where you live?"
"Yes I do. I is just over that big hill over there."
"Ok well we better get going." Milo picked up Specklekit and continued where the kit had pointed.
The camp was a buzz with frantic cats. They were looking everywhere for specklekit. Icestar had just let a patrol go in search of Brindlestorms only kit.
Stripedclaw led the way out of camp will Leopardpelt, and Oatspot at his side. They came to the top of the big hill and saw it a grey cat carring Specklekit in his mouth. They charged.
Milo saw the cats and felt the strong instinct in his gut to high tail it but he could not let the kit go so his stood his ground ready to fight.
Stripedclaw and the others had reached him now. "Drop our kit this instant!" Stripedclaw yowled. "I am sorry I did not know she was yours. I was taking her home. She had a run in with a badger and I saved her. I just wanted to return her to her family. The warriors started in amazment. "Is this true Specklekit?" Oatspot asked.
"Of course." The kit mumbled.
"Well then we have the gratitude of many warriors. Thank you. Will you come withe us Icestar will want to know what you did."
