Redspeckle walked into Twilightstar's den, xe needed to talk with her about Laurelpaw and Beepaw, Laurelpaw had hurt Beepaw badly, and it wasn't okay to do that. Besides that, there were some other things that xe needed to discuss with Twilightstar, such as Barkpaw's death. A lot of things had happened recently, and after the gathering, xe needed to talk about that too. "Twilightstar, I have a few things to discuss with you, the first is about Laurelpaw and Beepaw"
@Moonraven
Twilightstar perked her ears up as she picked up Redspeckle's incoming paw steps. Her ears went flat against her head as she was told they'd like to talk about Beepaw and Laurelpaw. StarClan, this was most certainly going to cause her another headache. Laurelpaw's actions at the last gathering already made her wonder if big of a problem the apprentice was going to cause her as she aged and learned. She was getting Tigerpaw vibes all over again. "Go ahead," Twilightstar gave them permission to start speaking, uncertain if she really wanted to hear what else Redspeckle wanted to discuss but it wasn't like she could just say no.

Twistedkit nodded adamantly as Twilightstar talked about getting another queen to nurse her. Yay! She’d still be able to drink milk even though Mother couldn’t feed her! But… would they replace Mother? Twistedkit didn’t want Mother to be replaced. Her mother was Willowsky, and she didn’t want to throw that away. The thought made her a bit nervous, but then Twilightstar talked about having some friends in the nursery! The one-and-a-half-moon-old kit’s brain shifted gears completely, and excitement spread across her face. Her non-blind eye lit up as she thought of all the cool cats she’d met!
”Friends!” she squeaked; her dented, bulging tail-tip twitched erratically between her extremely small ears. ”Hickorypaw and Laurelpaw are friends! Cowpaw is a friend! But he’ll be taking care of Mother, so I won’t be able to stay with him.” Twistedkit was disappointed for a moment, but it didn’t last long. ”Oh! And that cool warrior… she caught an adder! She had black and white fur… Shattervenom!” Twistedkit was sad that she couldn’t stay in the nursery with Mother, but she had a lot of other cool friends, too! ”Wait. But… none of them have milk? How will I eat? Mother says my jaw is too broken to eat big-kit prey yet.” Twilightstar was super smart, but Twistedkit was confused. She tended to be confused on a lot. Like how getting nipped wasn’t normal.
They didn’t know how sick she was or what she was sick from. Twistedkit didn’t like the thought of being away from Mother for too long, but she had to do it if she would get better. Hmm… Mother was upset a lot, but only at Twistedkit. She never snapped at the other queens or kits. Did she have something that made her sick? Concern ran through the black-and-light-gray she-kit. Mother was always mad at her, so what if she had made her sick? Twistedkit suddenly felt awful and very sad.
”Did I make Mother sick?” Twistedkit’s distorted voice came out quiet. Suddenly, she felt like Twilightstar and/or Cowpaw would get super mad at her. For one so young, she had a lot of thoughts tumbling around her head. Twistedkit looked at her paws, feeling suddenly shameful and shy. ”Am I why she’s sick? She’s only mad at me, and not anyone else, so I had to have done something. And I was born weird… Mother always says I’m not normal. Is that why? Did my weird parts make her sick?” Twistedkit found it difficult to understand what she herself was saying, but it had to make sense, right? Why else would Mother hate her so much? Surely someone born weird who was hated so much had to be an issue? Twilightstar said no, but… could the super smart and also old leader be wrong? Twistedkit didn’t know. All these thoughts were scary and confusing, and she didn’t want to think about them; however, how could she not think about them?
Twilightstar’s next words seemed to confirm Twistedkit’s worst fears. The leader talked about her son, who used to get all sorts of things in her fur and who often cried. She couldn’t help feeling surprised. If she accidentally splashed milk on her mother, she’d be bitten and/or yelled at. And if she was too loud, Mother would yell at her to be quiet. Twilightstar had said a lot that mothers had to love their kits… Surely Mother loves me? I love her a lot. Twistedkit was confused, but she also wanted to defend the cat who had birthed her and raised her. ”Mother is a great cat. If she’s mad, there’s gotta be a good reason. Maybe it’s me? All I wanna do is make her happy.” Twistedkit wished she didn’t feel so sad and confused, but how could she not? The fact that a kit under the age of two moons was having these thoughts certainly said something.
See them? Twistedkit was confused, but when Twilightstar kept speaking, she remembered. Oh, right, Twilightstar’s kits! The she-kit brightened a bit, but her thoughts and questions did not leave her mind. Queen to nurse her… what about her friends? She was still confused on that. Cowpaw was gonna get Mother, and Twistedkit got to spend more time with Twilightstar. That was cool, but at the same time, she had a lot of confusing emotions right now. ”Before she goes, can I see her again?” Twistedkit asked, looking up at the leader with her small round eyes that, stretched out like they were, appeared bigger than normal. ”I wanna talk to her before you go. I want her to know that I really love her, and that I wanna do stuff to make her happy. Also, I… wanna know if I made her sick.” Twistedkit looked desperately at Twilightstar. She wanted to see Mother one more time, before they had to be taken away from each other.
As Cowpaw departed from the den, leaving her with Twistedkit, Twilightstar was quickly showered in a variety of emotions from the young cat. She seemed quite delighted at the mentions of friends. The leader was just happy to hear that she had some, she had been worried that it would be hard for her to make them due to her problems with Willowsky.
So Hickorypaw, Laurelpaw, Cowpaw, and oddly enough Shatteredvenom. Perhaps she could work something out with Shattervenom and Hickorypaw. Cowpaw, as much as she didn't mind what he did with his free time, would most likely be busy with Willowsky. Laurelpaw... well she was becoming Twilightstar's new personal headache and Twilightstar wasn't certain what the cat would teach her. Shatteredvenom and Hickorypaw were mentor and apprentice, so long as it didn't get in their way of training, she'd see if they'd be willing to spend some extra time with Twistedkit in the nursery. It was a little disappointing that she didn't have any kit friends, but she had some friends so that's all that mattered.
"Well, you'll have to learn how to eat prey sooner or later, it will probably be a little touch with your jaw, but I once knew a molly who had the exact same problem as you do with your jaw, and she learned how to eat prey alright. It was a little different from everyone else, but so long as you can eat is all that matters. As I said, we work something out with one of the queens for milk. However, it might be a good idea to practice eating prey so you get a feel for chewing." Kit was normally weaned around two moons, Twilightstar was half certain that Twistedkit was a little under two moons, but that didn't mean she couldn't at least try eating prey. It might help her come up with a technique to chew her prey, strengthen her jaw, and hopefully, she won't be as self-conscious as Ashfeather had been when she ate.
Twilightstar still wasn't certain as to why this little one had come out as the spitting image of Ashfeather, or if it was StarClan's doing, but it would be nice if they could give her a better life than Ashfeather had. The she-cat had never seemed overly unhappy with her life, but Twilightstar's liked to think everyone could have had a happier life. Twilightstar felt like Ashfeather had so much love inside her and no one to share it with, at least not until Speckledpaw came back and Twilightstar had given her those four furballs. Together, maybe they'd be able to help Twistedkit out or at least just always be there for her.
At the question of whether she made Willowsky sick or not, Twilightstar slowly blinked her single green eye. "Hmm, I don't think you made her sick. Though it is possible that she's not happy that you were born the way you were." It seemed like Twistedkit was bright enough to understand that her physical appearance had something to do with Willowsky's mood. Twilightstar didn't think that outright denying that would help the kit or the mother.
"I wouldn't say that it's your fault, however. You didn't decide how you were born, you were born as you are and no amount of regret or anger will change that. Cowpaw and I will have to talk to Willowsky to figure out what's making her sick and mad, but if it has something to do with how you were born she's going to have to accept it and love you." Twilightstar trailed off, remembering that she was talking to a kit who probably had a lot of confusing and conflicting emotions brewing under the surface. The leader couldn't be her usual blunt self, lest she makes things worse.
"Little one, I'm not sure how to explain this to you in a way that you'll understand." Twilightstar sighed gently as she ducked her head to give the kit a comforting nuzzle. She was not happy with how quickly Twistedkit was putting all the blame on herself, however, Tiwlightstar kept her expression and eye warm in concern that the kit would think she was to blame.
"You shouldn't blame everything on yourself. You'll make yourself sick inside, like Willowsky. I know you have good intentions and only want to make your mother happy, but for right now I think it's a good idea to give her some space. I'm not sure what knowing whether you made her sick or not will do for either of you, is there some reason you need an answer for that?" Twilightstar got the feeling that no matter how she said or what she did, Twistedkit was going to blame herself. It was easier to simply distract the young one.
[jsyk, Taker will be throwing Leechpaw in here at random at some point. He's been dying to have Leech meet Twisted for a bit now.]
The medicine cat paddled through the territory, his tail flickering back and forth as his gaze swept across the grassland. Greenleaf has been upon them and hopefully that meant finding of herbs would be ease. Cowpaw was on a different search this time around. He wanted to find something new - he wanted to expand his knowledge. There was a joyful skip in his step now that everything seemed to calm down with Shadowclan. Perhaps, a little frolicking was in order. No, no, he shook his head.
Cowpaw could not get dist- "Oh..?" He mewed, coming to a full halt at the rather interesting cluster of.. mushrooms and flowers? He looked about; it was actually rather close to camp. He believed these black and white flowers were.. petunias? A rumble of curiosity escaped from him, leaning down to sniff the flowers. Though, from further observation .. these mushrooms! How interesting, they all seemed to range in color and size. In tight clusters but it seemed as if some of these mushrooms were dripping. However, it was all still.
Some mushrooms were simply just white, but some were black and, he giggled. They looked so weird! Cowpaw wasn't sure what they could do, but he quite liked them. "I don't know.. your name.. apologizes.. but, would Cowplant.. be alright? We can be.. matching..!" He giggled, gesturing to his own black and white fur. He settled down next to the cluster of flowers and mushrooms, his tail curling over his side.
What a wonderful place to be with Cowplant (and Petunia.)

"Beepaw is heading to the med den, but I don't know about Laurelpaw" It was sad, way too sad. "Twilightstar, make sure to keep a close eye on Laurelpaw, we don't need another Tigerpaw" Yeah, WindClan didn't need another Tigerpaw[/FONT]
Lynxkit let out a squeak of protest as he was lifted off his paws. What was happening? The Clan cat was saying hi to him! He wanted to talk to the cat. But he also didn’t want to make Maplecloud upset, because that would make him upset, and being upset was horrible. So he went limp and allowed himself to be carried away, waving a paw at the Clan cat as he was taken away. “Bye!” He meowed, before Maplecloud turned around and Lynxkit could no longer see the Clan cat.

Lynxkit’s job dropped. The deputy had given Twistedkit a badger ride? She was so lucky! “Wow, Twilightstar must really like you. Is she a friend of your mother or something?” He had never heard of Twilightstar taking out kits, though maybe Twistedkit was special. The kit frowned when Twistedkit mentioned Luarelpaw. On that topic, Lynxkit added, “I’m sure Luarelpaw was just teasing.” Who could be mean to Twistedkit, she was so nice.
(Sorry for taking so long to respond! I didn’t get a mention.)
~ TWISTEDKIT OF WINDCLAN ~
Twistedkit was a bit confused as to why Lynxkit was so excited over her. Nobody had been excited over her before. Mother was always sad, angry, and mad, while Twilightstar and Cowpaw… they were nice and friendly, but they talked about a lot of stuff that made her really confused. Hickorypaw had been excited when he was little. But he had been playing. Twistedkit did think that the leader, deputy, and medicine cat were cool, even though two of them had made her really confused. But they were all so awesome and friendly, and… well, Willowsky was just sick. Yeah, that was it.
“Twilightstar is cool,” Twistedkit squeaked in her distorted voice. “She isn’t friends with my mother. I don’t know if she likes my mother very much.” It was hard to convey her feelings and emotions, so she just settled on simple speech like this. And then the topic came to Laurelpaw. “I know she didn’t wanna be mean. Fallownose said she was feeling confusing feelings. I am, too.” Twistedkit didn’t know what else to say. That is, until a question came up in her mind. “Who’s your mother?” she asked. “And… is she nice? Does she get mad at you, or bite you?” Twistedkit had to know what other mothers were like, because it was hard to accept that Willowsky wasn’t treating her normally. Twistedkit loved her mother and always would.
Emberit sensed that Rabbitkit hadn't heard her the first time, so she repeated her question. Then she looked up at Sunflight. "Yes ma'am! Rabbitkit's my newest friend!" She said happily. Bounding over to the piece of moss she had seen, Emberkit set to work patting it into aball. When she was done it wa sa bit misshapen, but still usable. Unable to restrain herself, she swatted it at Rabbitkit. "Catch!"

|Rabbitkit|
Rabbitkit listened closely to his mother words and found himself hanging onto the last thing she had been saying before welcoming the she-kit back to the Nursery. It didn't take long before he was distracted by the following conversation.
So that was her name! Emberkit! Despite having been playing together for a little while now Rabbitkit couldn't remember having learned her name until now. He let out an elated 'mrrow' as the she-kit affirmed her mutually felt friendship with him.
"Sure!" He replied excitedly to Emberkit's question, having heard it the second time. He hadn't played mossball before but that didn't stop him from hopping around playfully, barely able to contain his energy. He watched the she-kit pack the moss into a roundish shape and before he could even blink the moss was flying towards him. Without thinking he flinched and ducked out of the way of the speeding projectile.
Rabbitkit looked up at Emberkit and back at the ball of moss. "I got it!" He meweled. He scrambled to his feet bounded over to retrive their makeshift toy.

Hunger had gnawed at the large kit's belly after a long nap, his favorite corner in the nursery now warm and rather musty from his long time laying there. Deciding that his stomach was right and it was time to leave the nursery for the day, Snowykit bounded out, tripping only once as he stepped on his front left paw with his hind right one.
At the fresh kill pile, Snowykit had every intention of grabbing a small mouse. The meal intended only for him, he knew a hare or rabbit would probably be too much, and with the passing moons he had realized that he was not as fond of birds in general as he was of earth bound critters. Carefully sifting with his nose through the pile, his eyes landed on an odd, furry tail. Knowing it by sight , but never having tasted one, he recognized a squirrel laying among the rest of the prey. Bushy tailed and intriguing, the large kit licked his whiskers in anticipation. Picking it up, Snowykit dragged his meal closer to the nursery entrance, making sure he was not in the way. A second look at this squirrel made him realize that perhaps it might be a tad too much, even for him. His ear twitched in thought. Perhaps he could share this with one of his clanmates.

Rabbitkit heard his mothers question while chasing after the mossball.
"What's a vole?" Rabbitkit meweled inquisitively.
He hadn't had fresh kill before, only seen the pile in camp from a distance. Rabbitkit had seen warriors and apprentices return from the grassland carrying all sorts of little creatures by the mouthful, but couldn't put names to the specific prey. He got another burst of energy thinking about becoming an apprentice and getting to hunt his own fresh kill for the clan. He'd bring his mother some and the elders too! He'd be the best hunter this clan had ever seen!
