Dartfoot stopped and looked back at Jackheart, "I thought I smelled something." He trotted over to her, trying not to show the slight pain and stiffness in his shoulders and legs. "Where are they?" He pricked his ears, trying to pick up their mewling.

Jackheart stood still, muzzle lifted. "They're nearby, I think." She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, sifting through the myriad of scents that came to her. There! The soft milky scent of kits. It was nearly buried underneath the Clan's scent, but it was there. Jackheart opened her eyes and darted foward, slowing to a walk by a rather large oak, scanning the ground. "They ought to be around here somewhere."

[Dia.]

Dartfoot found the pile of four kits mewling nearby and called around the tree for Jackheart, "Found them!" He sniffed the kits cautiously. Lilac? His tail tip flicked nervously and he looked around him. Why were her kits here?

[kadoodlebird]

Silverleaf loped over to them. "Kits?" she murmured. She cast around for their mother, but not she-cat was claiming them. She curled her tail around her paws and gazed around wisely. "These kits," she said, "Are Lilac's. She has abandoned them."

[Dia.]

ooc: how does silverleaf know Lilac? just a question cause she is a two leg place cat...

[honeydont]

Jackheart's eyes widened and she let out a little gasp. "How cruel! Who could do such a thing?" She moved closer and crouched down by the kits, grooming them. They were so little, so fragile. Jackheart curled her tail around them, watching with worried eyes. "They're not going to die, are they? Please don't say they will."

[Dia.]

Dartfoot looked at Jackheart, "I'm no queen or a medicine cat. I dont have that sixth sense that she-cats do nor do I know how to tell if a cat is close to death." He sat down next to her and lay his tail over her shoulders, "But I am an honorable warrior and know our code, which says that we should take this kits back to camp." He nudged the closest kit.

(( DIA! When did TigerEye join DreamClan? *snickers* ))

SliverFur followed the other cats on the patrol.

{{OMG WHAT?! lol -uber fail- aww man I'm loosing it. -freaks out and clicks edit button-}}

[honeydont]

((Pfft, she-cat sixth sense. x3))

Jackheart nodded in agreement, comforted by Dartfoot's presence. She nudged a kit gently with her soft black nose. "I wonder who their parents are?" The she-cat murmured softly before picking the kit up carefully by its scruff. The tiny scrap of fur dangled from her mouth and let out a pitiful sqeak.
