[ if anyone wants to roleplay with Dove's "reincarnated" self, feel free to post in this thread; I'm still deciding if Dove has officially died from rats or if she's going to be okay. <3 ]
Something brought the youngling into the land - something was different about it than what her mama had left her at. 'Stay hidden in the bushes until I get back, Root.' That was the last thing that the silver tabby remembered before two days passed and she couldn't wait any longer. She had to leave and find somewhere where she could be able to live. To learn to hunt. To find a home.
The thing was, she dd not have any survival skills, and she was too scrawny to really defend herself. She was hungry and did not know how to hunt, so when she found the remains of a mouse under a leaf, the she-cat devoured it. She was not ashamed. She would be a scavenger around here if needed. It just smelled like there were cats here lately and she then heard a snap behind her.
"He-hello?" she called, turning around to try to see the stranger. "Please don't hurt me."

Pain slowly padded out of the swamps undergrowth"I'm not going to hurt you you seem like you'd only run away if I scared you any how" he mewed licking his front paw. Once he opened his bright hello eyes again "but I will warn you other deathclan cats wouldn't be so happy to see you crossing our border.."

[ whee so cool 'cause Dove's first encounter in DC was with Fuzzyink, a renowned DC member too! c: ]
Root lowered herself, stomach flat on the ground when she spotted the stranger. Why did he look that destroyed? The tabby kept her eyes on him, not wanting to be his next meal. She couldn't imagine travelling so far only to be eaten!
'I'm not going to hurt you you seem like you'd run way if I scared you anyhow but I will warn you other deathclan cats wouldn't be so happy to see you crossing our border.'
His eyes told her otherwise. "Wh-what happened to your ear?" she peeped. "What's Deathclan? Mama said that rogues don't have borders?"

"well are nit exactly rogues were basically a grip of well organized cats with a pretty terrible leader who hopefully won't be here long" he said with a slight growl not aimed to the kit. "although a large portion of the kits are orphaned sociopaths"
((oooh cool. Its kina funny how reincarnation is so trendy in DC))

Root was a bit confused. She knew that she did not know a lot, but her mama told her that leaders should live long. They were leaders after all. Like how old the clan leaders were. She just knew she was to stay away from them.
"W-why? Is your leader sick?" she asked, starting to grow a bit more confident around the stranger. "Mama said that some plants can help the sick."
When he mentioned orphans, the tabby perked up. "You mean there's more like me? But I'm not a so-so-sosio-sociopath. . ." she looked down at her paws, wondering why she felt ashamed of that. She didn't really know the word, but her mama did tell her that she was to be a respectable cat.

"hope you aren't. No I'm just thinking she might be overthrown" he shrugged.

What did overthrown mean? Root did not know and the stranger seemed friendly with answering her questions, but maybe he had somewhere else to go. Just like how her dadda left her and her siblings and mama to defend for themselves.
"Wh-what's overthrown?" Root crinkled her nose at the strange word and re-positioned herself so that she was no longer flat on the ground. 'Maybe one day I'll be as big as him.'

"to be taken out of their position" he paused "were are your parents?" He asked. Dead probably.

Root was confused why the stranger wanted to remove their leader. Why not wait until the leader died? The she-cat frowned at his response and grew silent at his question about her parents. She did not know this stranger, so she did not see a purpose as to why she should answer to him.
"Where are your parents?" she countered.

Dead. That was a concept that Root was not quite comfortable with. She remembered seeing Twig and Leaf's cold bodies. She was the only one of her siblings who were still alive. Or maybe Dirt was still alive? She did not know.
It was a shame. His parents dead.
"No," she responded. "Mama told me to wait for her, but I got hungry. . ."

How was he supposed to say this? "kid your parents aren't coming back but if you want to live you ought to follow me..." He said sympathetically.

Root was confused at his words. Of course her mama would come back. She would return soon enough and Root would show mama that she could hunt! It was the second part that hit her. If she wanted to live, she'd have to follow him? Follow him to where?
"W-where are you going to take me?" she asked, backing up a bit. 'What if all the other orphans are scarred like him too?' She was afraid, but she was also scared that this might be her only chance to actually live. Only this time, it would be Root walking out of her mama's life, not the other way around.
