Snow and ice under her paws was vastly preferable to having them baked on hot stone, hardened by eons of being scourged by the sun. The boom of a loud fog-horn startled the young tabby, reminding her that it was best not to linger around these parts. With a heavy sigh, Rat plodded on-wards; closer to the land of sun and sand, and further from home.
Her eyes were used to the glare of the snow, twinkling like diamonds in the sun. So it was a small-wonder that she had spotted a rambunctious young kit, pawing at the limp body of his mother; the stupid thing hadn't noticed the flesh-necked vultures gathering, and nor those hungry, hungry wolves prowling nearby.
''Ma, ma come on!'' Lotus whined, prodding at her belly. ''Wake up! It's morning!'' The ginger tabby growled in frustration, trying to heave the quiet tortoiseshell to her feet. ''Come on! Or I'll...I'll jump on you!'' Yeah! He would! And it would hurt! Soft paw-falls easily made their way behind him and suddenly Lotus was whirling away from the ground and from his ma and...where'd those vultures come from?
The kitten was hissing, white claws peering out from soft, pale paws. ''Calm down, kiddo.'' mumbled Rat, letting him gabble on about ripping her heart out and eating it. The grizzled molly had dealt with hostile cats before, having had a tuft of her fur ripped out in the past by a large black cat; this chap was nothing. Dunes rolled by lazily under a clear sky, the breeze sending grains skittering under her paws as Rat strode on, feeling distinctly like this was the wrong choice.
''So...you think he'll be safer in GoldClan?'' Cannastar murmured, disbelief in his voice. ''You really think that?'' The ginger tom wasn't sure if he had gone mad, or if she was just stupid. ''Yeah...'' Cannastar frowned, tail twitching. ''That might not be true.''
Rat was not impressed, quirking a brow. ''Well, it's safer than the desert!'' She snapped.
''We are in a desert.'' Cannastar pointed out, shaking his head dismissively. ''The dangers don't magically disappear once you join GoldClan.'' Groaning, Cannastar glanced pleadingly at Embergaze. ''I don't have the power to put a forcefield around Lotus, although if I could, believe me I would'' Once he'd done himself first, thought Cannastar. ''But no, StarClan gave me nine stinking lives.''
The clan peered at the trio curiously, staring at the grumbling, spitting kitten. ''Cannastar...'' Oryxthroat rumbled, Larkkit and Shrikekit in tow. ''...I could take him in, what's one more?'' The grey and white queen smiled at the hissing spitting tom, trying not to flinch at Lotus's sweeping claws. ''...does he know that his mother is...well, me now?''
''No, sadly not.'' Rat sighed, shaking her head. ''He still thinks his mother is alive.''
Lotus hissed at Shrikekit as she neared, swiping defensively at her. ''She is! And she's gonna come back any time now!'' The ginger and white tabby was fearless, green eyes flashing like emeralds. ''And you'll be sorry that you took me away from her!'' Lotus spat, tail lashing. ''You will!''
''Oh dear.'' sighed Viperpelt, sharing an awkward look with Hawkfur. ''Young kit...there's a chance she's dead.'' He sighed bluntly, padding towards the young tom. ''I know it's hard, but you have to leave your ma behind; her spirit will always be there but...her body won't.'' The bengal's tail swayed, as he tried to manage a smile that didn't feel forced. ''Come on, kid.''
Embergaze sniffed, glancing at Cannastar questioningly. ''Come on, Cactuskit.'' The tortoiseshell sighed, tail twitching. ''We can't spend all day arguing, we'll die of starvation and then we'll be seeing your mother sooner than expected.'' Embergaze reasoned, shaking his head. ''Loss is hard, but her spirit won't rest until you are safe.''
Scrunching his face up in doubt, Lotus glared up at the clan. ''...fine.'' He stamped his paws angrily, stomping his way over to Oryxthroat. ''Just get me away from her!'' A white paw pointed at Rat's direction, nose screwed up. ''She scared me!''
''I was trying to get you to saftey!'' Rat protested. ''A vulture was going to pick you up and eat you!''
Quietly, Cannastar ignored all of this and let out a long exhausted sigh.
