Silver's Silent Storm

Chapter 5

Ee))

Silver and her mysterious new idol walked to a small opening at the base of the rock that was covered with lichen and moss. The opening was extremely dark and Silver tried her best to see past the first few pawsteps into the cave.

"Blossomstar, may I, or we, come in?"
The she-cat Silver had been traveling with for the entire night mewed, her head high and her voice a bit louder than before. Her voice echoing down the short tunnel.

"You may come in."

Silver's ears twitched as another voice echoed back. She turned to the gray tabby next to her, confused. "I won't be able to see down there!" She mewed, muffled by the mouse she was still carrying.

"Just follow my pawsteps, I'll guide you with my tail, it's not very far little one." At that, once again the grey she-cat walked down into the darkness, holding out her tail for Silver to keep track of as they were surrounded by the darkness of the cave walls.

Soon enough Silver noticed a pair of amber eyes staring at her and the she-cat as they walked into a pitch black den that only smelled of one cat. Silver heard a shuffle as the amber-eyed cat sat up in what Silver assumed was her nest.

"Ah, Mothheart, what a pleasure. What can I do for you?" The amber-eyed cat addressed the light grey tabby next to Silver with a purr.

As Silver's eyes adjusted to the darkness, she saw that Mothheart had sat down and her eyes glimmered with content. Silver looked at the amber-eyed cat and noticed she had a beautiful red and brown marbled pelt.

"Blossomstar, I found this kit near the edge of our territory. She was...attempting to hunt, and nearly caught this mouse before I got to her and caught it myself. I offered her help and she accepted. Would it be okay for her to have some milk from Littlesong? She will go back home either after she's eaten or at sunhigh." Mothheart explained what was going on.

Blossomstar looked at Silver with her cool amber eyes. She scanned Silver over and stood up, stretching then walking closer to Silver. She leaned close to Silver and sniffed her over, nosing at her shoulders.
"Good, she isn't starving. what you ask is okay with me as long as Littlesong is okay with it. I will have a patrol of warriors escort her back to her home at dawn."

Blossomstar gave Silver a gentle lick on the head before walking back to her nest and laying down, Getting comfortable quickly. "Make sure to get her seen by Robinsong anyway, you are dismissed."

Mothheart nodded and stood up, turning and walking out of the den with Silver at her tail. "Let's go to the medicine den and have you checked up on before you are fed, seeing how late it is you might fall asleep after eating."

Silver nodded as they walked out into the moonlit clearing once again, then she turned to one of the dark corners of the clearing as a dark grey tom stepped out of an opening. She felt his copper colored eyes burn into her pelt as she followed Mothheart to where she assumed the medicine den would be.

Mothheart acknowledged the grey tom with a nod as she walked over to another large rock, this one having a split in the middle. The split being large enough for a cat to fit into it and make a den. Mothheart squeezed into the den and called out.

"Robinsong! Are you awake?"

Silver followed Mothheart into the dark den, then looked over to an opening at the back of the den as a ginger tabby tom stepped out of a small nest, shaking his head grumpily. "I am now."

Mothheart's ear twitched sympathetically. "I'm sorry to wake you, but I need you to check this kit over, she even brought you some fresh-kill if you are hungry right now."
