 Daisykit had been playing in the meadow with some of the other kits under the watchful eye of a Queen, enjoying the sunny weather with a pleasant breeze that kept the temperature cool. Unbeknownst to the kit, her caretaker had accidentally fallen asleep after sunbathing, just as the pale calico kitten had started to follow a yellow butterfly that had been drinking nectar on a flower. "Hey, wait for me!" She chased after the the insect as fast as her four paws would carry her, not realizing that she was getting farther and farther away from Thunderclan camp. Daisykit followed the butterfly along the meadow until it brought her into the woods, eventually flying upward out of her reach and beyond her tiny paw's grasp. Whether it had been minutes or hours, she wasn't really sure, but soon it dawned on the girl that she was lost. She tried not to panic so she sat down in the shade of a tree, trying to think of how she would find her way back to the clan all alone. "Um... Do I stay still, or try to go back..?" She wasn't really sure, and in her worry she began to curl up into a little ball.

Each day was a new sort of chaos as the clan had settled in to their new home. The territory was new and had to be patrolled with vigor to make sure the new boundaries would stick. Goldeneye had volunteered to take as many patrols as he could fit into his schedule among other things that had to be done. From sunup he had joined the dawn patrol and at sunhigh he had planned to take a hunting patrol out. At any given moment plans could change and as a warrior he was proud in the fact he could adapt.
As dawn patrol came to a close and the large tom approached the camp he could hear the shrill wailing of a Queen from far off and hastened his approach, his paws beating down as he entered the camp. From the look of his clanmates it was clear something was very wrong and he approached the Nursery where he noticed other Queens were busy consoling a distraught she-cat. "What happened?" It was less of a question and more of a demand, but as she looked up at him she could only wail again as another approached him with her tail twitching towards him in an irritated manner.
"Daisykit is gone, they were out in the meadow and have tracked all the way back to here." While calmer than the other, the she-cat looked annoyed at him, with a tilt of her head which read to him as How did you not already know?. Behind them there was a frenzy of movement as every able-bodied cat was being rallied to find the missing kit. Goldeneye felt a surge of energy down into his paws while his expression never left his normal one, though admittedly he was feeling foolish for asking.
He nodded as a sign of "thank you" and whisked away towards another group of warriors who were busy with a plan as he shoved his way towards the conversation. "We need to send a cat out in every single direction." He paused and sniffed the air for anything out of place, but nothing seemed to stand out or was far too stale to have been involved at all.
"It seems likely she just wandered off, cover all of the directions and we'll have it worked out." A younger tom gave a hard stare back to the seasoned warrior but was silenced as Goldeneye's fur began to rise with urgency. From the looks of it there were not many cats to spare with patrols being done with as much vigor as they were. With not another mew the warrior set out in his own way, sniffing as best as he could to pick up the scent of the she-kit and ran back towards the meadow.
"Daisykit!" He called loudly as his strong legs carried him along. As a kit he was certain that she couldn't have gotten very far, but was far more concerned with the new territory with unknown predators and the new boundaries which could easily get crossed by an intruder. A low growl came from his mouth as he continued his search. I'm going to find her."
Daisykit!" he called again.Hopelessly Pretty I hope this tag is ok. q w q

The she-kit did her best to look around, trying to recall any landmarks that she had passed on her way to the trees. There wasn't anything that looked remarkable nearby... that butterfly had just been too pretty for her to pay attention to where she was going otherwise. She had to shut her eyes, trying to remember the scents she had discovered, which were much more memorable to her than anything else. She remembered she'd passed by some thistle, and before that... some clover! The kitten mewed happily with delight, knowing she was at least slightly on the right path to getting herself closer to home.
Trotting forward, she had no idea that a search party had already begun to look for her, thinking that the other kits and Queens would be exactly where she had left them behind. She didn't recall making any abrupt turns, so Daisykit ran forward until she spotted a familiar looking thistle patch. "Yes, I did it..!" The girl was a little bit more proud of herself than she probably ought to be, but she was certain that she'd come from this direction. She could even recognize her own scent in the flowers. She was about to continue walking when her ears pricked forward, hearing someone calling her name from far away.
"Hello? I'm Daisykit! I'm right here!" She yelled back as loudly as she could, but honestly, her little voice didn't carry too far. "I don't recognize that voice... but I should see who it is." Thinking it must be someone from her clan she ran toward the voice, trying to keep track of it. Daisykit yelled once more, trying to get the stranger's attention. "Hello? Who are you?" Never Crazy You're fine! Sorry my post was so short! I made this one a bit longer, hope that's okay~ I usually just keep to 1 to 2 paragraphs, but type as much as you'd like!

Nose to the ground he was still searching until his ears twitching as the distant mewling came over the wind. Going rigid the tom poised his body, listening to the wind again but it didn't come back and he headed into the direction it came from. Twitching his ears he heard something like a small squeak and skidded to a stop, turning his direction and running that way, raking up against a thistle patch he paused to take a breath, turning his head and stopping as he noticed a small figure.
It was the kit!
"Daisykit." He said again, walking over to her and staring down at her with a concerned gaze. There were many things he could say. He could scold her for wandering off, lecture her or yell, but the warrior was hesitant as he was certain she would get enough of that from her mother to last her an entire lifetime. Rather the warrior sat in front of her, looking her in the eye and let out a small breath.
"Had an adventure, did you?" He asked in as bright of a tone that he could muster, his whiskers twitching as he sniffed again. There were no injuries and she seemed bright and attentive, which was a good sign. She really must have just wandered off.
