"MOMMA!!!!!!!!!"
A tiny little wail cried out beneath the merciless night sky, starlight shining down on the pitiful, shivering little clump of ebon pelt. The kit was small, so small, and although the days had been warm, this night was cold.
Too cold for so young a kit to be out without any protection. But the matted ball of fur was alone, the scent of the Rogue female that was her mother stale.
And she was not coming back.
Umberkit shivered, trying to curl up into a even smaller ball. She was smart, hiding beneath a low-hanging bush in an attempt to gain some protection from the elements.
"Momma..."
Her most recent cry was weaker, much weaker, and she tightly closed her brilliant yellow eyes.
'Why momma, why?'

Whisperstar would have never found the kitten hidden under the bush if it wasn't for it's small cries that got her attention. She loped toward the sound, her head high in the air as she caught the fear scent of the small kit.
Eventually she came upon the small bush, and she hooked her paw amidst it and pulled it back to find the cold young kitten. Whisperstar felt a slight pang in her heart, all these poor lost kittens getting lost... she was just glad they ended up on her territory and not stuck in the marshes of Rogue Meadow.
She meowed softly tot he kitten and gave it a lick at it's ears. "Little kit, are you alright? You are safe now in my territory... do not be so afraid."

Yellow hues peered up at the large she-cat, ears flattened and she hissed as threateningly as she could. Which…was very threatening at all. Her fear scent abruptly vanished, and those brilliant-colored orbs narrowed slightly as the kit leaned upward, sniffing the adult curiously.
“Where’d Momma go? Did she send you?”
Her voice was a little harsh with disuse, and she tumbled forward, closer to the other cat. She was very thin, life as a Rogue had been harsh on her mother, and even worse for her young kits.
“No. Momma’s not coming back.”
Her tone took a note of finalization; she KNEW that her mother had left her to die. Yellow orbs grew dull, and she crouched down slightly, shamefully.

The Clan leader couldn't help but feel remorse in her heart as the kit inquired her about her mother, and tumbled out at her feet. A sensible kit, she examined. It seemed to be more mature than some other kits her age. Quickly Whisperstar gave a warm lick behind the small things ears, looking over the ragged and unkempt body. So many kits had wandered into her territory as of late, and every one made her realize how harsh it was beyond her border.
"No, I wasn't sent by your mother, I'm sorry..." Her ears flicked a bit as she raised her head to look around again in vain, in case, maybe, there was a cat there. But she saw none.
"I don't think any cat could come close to your mother, little kit, but if you have nowhere to go, I could bring you into my home. This is MistClan territory, and I am Whisperstar. I would happily bring you in and help you live as a Clan cat."

"It's okay. If she had sent you...it would only be to kill me."
Umberkit turned her head away, yellow hues not looking at the she-cat. A flicker of interest suddenly flashed throught them, as if she had seen something not there. When she looked back up, her hues were clear and strong, and she stood to her full height.
"I would be honored to go with you."
She said as forcefully as she could. There was now a strange light in her eyes.
"I know this is what I am destined to do."
Her words were odd, voice far more mature for such a young kit. But as sudden as the flicker of StarClan granted gift appeared, it vanished, and the yellow hues of a bedraggled kit stared at Whisperstar.
"I would like a home..."

Whisperstars' pelt rippled slightly at the ominous tone, and she watched the kit carefully. She twtiched her tail slightly as she opened her muzzle but didn't speak for a while, wondering what had come over the kit that she had also felt a slight chill.
She cleared her throat and looked back towards the waterfall.
"Then, we shall go to MistClan, and you can meet the other cats-"
She stopped, then tilted her head slightly.
"I never got your name, young kit."

"O...Oh! I'm Umberkit!"
Whatever had possessed the kit for that brief moment had completely vanished; those yellow hues were clear. But it was obvious that this kit's innocent nature had been drastically altered due to her abandonment.
"Do you have a name, too?"
On wobbly paws she stood in preparation to follow the older she-cat to MistClan, and a new life...

The she-cat smiled and nodded her head, her ears twitching slightly on her head as she started walking up the grass field, flicking her tail behind her.
"Hmm, Umberkit... and yes, I do," She chuckled a bit at that. "My name is Whisperstar."
She blinked her green eyes and made sure the kit was following her.

Umberkit was tottering after the she-cat as fast as her weakened limbs would allow her.
"Whisperstar's a pretty name. My momma was called Heartless. And I had a brother named Demonkit, he..."
The kit froze, eyes glazing at the memory. She muttered softly, shivering in terror.
"Momma, momma where's brother...? Momma what are you eating?? Momma...is that...?"

Her green eyes widened a bit as she listened to the kit, mrowling a bit as she heard the odd mumblings of the other. She slowed down and watched her, knowing that the future of MistClan was going to be much more interesting with this kit around.
"Come on Umberkit, lets go," She said lightly, her pelt rippling with some unseen foreshadow as she trotted off toward Camp
