Mir held the kittens gently to her as she walked. When she got to the clearing where Val was, she saw Percy and Kieran there as well. Her face broke into a smile as she saw everyone gathered there, but it faltered when she realized she was the only one who seemed to be smiling.
Mir didn't understand. Shouldn't this be a happy occasion? Her gaze traveled from little Ishtar looking sadly up at Val, Val looking numbly back at him, and Kieran and Percy who were looking worriedly at Nyx... and Nyx herself, who looked so weak.
"...What's going on?"

Hermies' head was swirling. He didn't know what was happening. One second they were running with the flute lady, as fast as they could. She was holding something, white, it smelt like him, only sick. Other kittens had joined them also. Brothers and a sister. Family. Lost. Reunited.
Next second he was in someone's arms. With another kitten. She called the other kitten's name, Morpheus, "Brother" came the thought. She called his name too. It felt nice."It's okay. You're home now." she said. Hermies didn't know why but it felt so nice to hear. He wasn't as fearful as all the other kittens he had been with. He'd learn that panicking only made things worse, in that house so far away now.
The cat, feminine voice, he could feel her walking somewhere. It made rocking movements, it made him sleepy. Before the darkness took him, he heard other familiar voices. More cats, frightened tones. "Close your eyes" he thought, "ignore it all..." Sleep took him.

Persy looked down at Nyx, panic and horror in her eyes. One of her babies. Her poor little darling. She looks so small, so sick and so fragile. She had to stop herself from tearing her eyes away from her all together. It just didn't seem real to her. She didn't want it to be real. She gently took the kitten from Valiant, her expression numb. She looked down at Ishtar and nodded, trying to retain the information of what was going on. "If...if that's what you want...sweetheart." she said, her voice horse and forced. How could this moment that should have been so happy end up into her worst nightmare. One of her daughters was dying, the other still missing and one of her sons didn't want to live with her anymore. So she stared blankly infront of her, her arms clutching Nyx, whos breathing was shallow and forced. "I...I know there's a medic in the mansion." she said monotonously. Why, why was everything so wrong?

Dracal stayed under the bush for several moments to wait out the humans. He looked around to make sure they were gone before taking off, following his own scent trail. He wasn't about to get weak now.. He told himself. "Nyx... I'll get to you.. I'll find you." He lets out a huge meow with a huge gasp of air in his lungs. Once he reached the spot out of the park, he looked around for cars. He growled at himself as he vowed never to go to that place ever again. "..Mom... Dad.. sister.. brother.. I am coming." He had to remember what his sensei had told him awhile back. "Always to stay strong, little one. If you are lost.. think of your steps before."
He pants as he finally got to the sidewalk that is right next to his family home. He heard his family and puts his tail between his legs. He whimpered slightly before putting on a brave mask on his face so he wouldn't make his parents worried.. He knew he would get fussed by his mama later on for this. He walks into the front yard of the mansion when he saw his best friend/little sister. "Nyx!!!" He no longer had the mask of emotionless.... He whimpers as he ran towards both his mom and little sister. "Nyxy.. Mama.. I am sorry.. I.. I am sorry, mama! I wanted to find her.. I wanted to find everyone when I felt something was wrong.. ..I went into the park alone, mama.. I wanted to find her.. everyone." He whimpers as he began to cry slightly. "....I should have stayed by her, mama.. I thought she would be alright..." He just whimpered with his tail between his back legs.

A flutter of feathers could be heard in the breeze, the flapping of wings announcing its presence long before its arrival. Without grace or stealth, the black and white crow alighted on a tree branch, the monotone flights feathers of its wings splaying to help it steady itself before it automatically folding its wings at its sides. It cocked its head, beady amber eyes gazing at the family of felines and humanoids without emotion. Black pupils narrowed as it peered at them with one eye before it spread its wings, a lurch sending it off into the air again, the flapping soon easing out into a slightly more graceful glide as it took off into the air.
"Awww!" Came the rounded hollow caw as it flew through the air once more, off to find the little furry thing it had been leading all along...
(( Not sure if I should join in so soon, so here's the 'npc' crow Doushenka has been following ))

Valiant's breathing deepened as she tried to calm herself. She closed her eyes against the pulsing behind her eyes.
"You all need to quit fretting! Get her to the damn medic and quit acting like the world revolves around you. You have ALL your children back should they decide to stay. Not everything in the world is wrong about this meeting."
Valiant opened her eyes and looked Percy dead on.
"now get off your a** and go take her to the medic or the world will never be right for that kitten again."
Lightly she picked up Ishtar not caring about whether or not the others had more to say to her. At last she finally addressed Mir.
"Ishtar is going to be my adopted son now. It seems to me that these two need some time to address some vital issues regarding a kitten." Her eyes drifted to Morph. She crouched down next to him.
"I dont know how much time they will have for you, so I suggest you find where you truly want to be."
Turning on heel she headed to the forest ignoring the scene behind her. She knew that the kitten would get better, and hopefully her words had forced the others to act.
Val upturned her head to the sky while holding Ishtar. The monochrome bird that had been hanging around lately filled her mind and she smiled, suddenly peaceful.
Hello friend.
Ishtar kept his gaze on Valiant as she spoke and then wandered away from the crowd. When she knelt next to Morph he batted at his brothers ears smiling as he did so. He had the best mommy ever. She was powerful, graceful and strong... what more could he ask for in his new life?
"thank you." he mumbled into her hair and drifted off to sleep.
~~~
Kieran stood there with shock covering his face... that was not the val he knew. He looked at Percy, trying to decipher her facial expression and failed miserably.
"... Shes right... take... Nyx to the medic, please."
In total shock he wandered into the beginnings of trees.
Did the world have any more shocks for him? He took Hermies from Mir smiling at the sleeping kitten. Morph seemed content as he was, but Hermies seemed to be upset. Not everything was in turmoil, only his world. His Fiancee was taking care of his daughter, Ishtar had stated he wanted nothing to do with his parents at the time being, Hermies... he did not know what hermies would do, Morph seemed like he would want to get away. And the other... one was still gone.
Tears leaked from his eyes into Hermies soft fur as he found a bench to sit on. Everything that was right... was so wrong.

Morph woke up in degrees; he could hear the female with the flute talking, then someone batted his ears and he cracked open an eyelid. His brother was grinning back at him and Morph smiled back calmly. I'm glad you're happy... Morph settled back into the other female's arms, watching the scene before him. Everyone was in varying degrees of shock and distress. Seeing this tugged at Morph's heart. This isn't right, he thought, No, there should be some smiles here... When Kieran took Hermies out of Mir's arms, Morph roused himself and jumped out of Mir's arms, following Kieran. When Kieran sat down, Morph nuzzled his leg, purring comfortingly.
"Papa... i missed you..."
Mir smiled after the kitten as he went after Kieran. She looked over at her friend, Percy, who seemed hit the hardest by all of this, which was understandable.
OK, it's time to start getting some joy out of this. Little Morpheus has it right.
She got up and walked over to Percy and put her arm around the other cat.
"Come on," She said gently,"Lets go find that medic."

Persy looked around slowly at Valiant. This seemed to snap her out of her daze. She looked over at her, a much more determined look on her face. Valiant was right. She should be happy. All of her precious children were finally back with her and if she didn't get moving all of them wouldn't be here to celebrate their return. She nodded, her eyes determined and turned on her heel, Nyx cradled carefully in her arms. "I'm going to save you my darling. I really and truely will!" she said and nodded to Mir. "Right okay lets go to the medic!" she said with a nod. She knew where the medic was in the Nyanman's mansion. After all he had helped her multiple time while she was pregnant. She wished she turn back enough time to greet all of her darlings propperly but now time was running out for her daughter. She hoped that one day the other kittens would understand.

Dracal looks up at his other siblings then up at his mother. He whimpered slightly at the sight of Nyx. He jumped on his mother's back as he didn't want his sister to feel like she was alone. "Nyx.. I am here! Mama... I am gonna stay with you.. She needs both of us, mommy." He nuzzles her gently but sadly as well. He looked down at Nyx as he longed to hold her in his arms to let her know that he is here.

Kieran looked up to meet the green eyes that matched his own belonging to Morpheus. How had he not known that the small kitten was following just behind him during his break down. Perhaps that was how the children were stolen in the first place.
"Hello Morpheus. I missed you all terribly."
It was true, Kieran had missed his children, but he left out part of what he wanted to say... how he was sorry he was such a crappy father. How he should have been able to defend them.
Kieran sighed and picked up Morph, for it was no use to dwell on such things... they never go away.

Hermies stirred a little as something wet ran through his fur. His eyes opened and closed drowsily. Someone was different. Someone else was holding him. The scent so familiar. "Father?" he thought to himself. He was speaking to someone. Morpheus? He felt himself getting shifted and another warm body was with him. It felt cosy, almost made Hermies happy, if he didn't keep in mind that everyone was in despair. He didn't know what had happened to the other kittens. He wondered if Nyx was okay. His little sister was clearly not well. He wiggled in his father's arms and asked the melancholy cat holding him "Father... What's happening to everyone?"

Kieran stared at his two sons, trying for a neutral face.
“We all wanted you back so terribly we never considered you all might have changed or that your sister would become ill… in fact, Valiant helped get us all into motion. Ishtar has left, because we seem not to have the time for taking care of you all with Nyx… It hurts is all, we just got you back, and now here we are losing you again.” He ran his hands through his hair and then petted his sons on the head, it would get better he knew, but he did not want his children to grow up.

Hermies' little heart was heavy and slow. He carefully got up, using his father's arms as a foot hold and licked his father's face.
"It's okay Father" he said, while smiling as best as he could "we still have everyone. You haven't lost anyone. It's not like we're all moving really really far away. I'm going to stay with Mother and you. And I'll help take care of Nyx so you'll have time for everyone." Hermies nuzzled Kieran "I'll do my best to help. Don't be sad anymore"

Persy ran to the medic with Mir by her side and Dracal on her shoulder. She had Nyx cradled softly in her arms, making sure the kitten wouldn't bounce around while she ran and make her even more ill. She got up to the medic and handed Nyx carefully over. "I don't know what's wrong!" she cried, looking at the medic, her eyes filled with tears. "Please, just fix her. Please!" she cried. The medic told her to wait outside while the cat examined her kitten. "oh please god! Please make her be alright." she muttered to herself, slumping down against the wall outside.
