 The cat held a new prize, like it would whenever it normall stole something. In its maw, which connected to its dark brown mask laid a partial lot of bedding from one of the warrior's nests. Which, of course, the little tom had stolen. He liked thievery, and he was exceptionally good at thievery, he hadn't been caught.... Yet.

Roscuro scurried towards his own nest within the Nursery, his nest seemed to be much to large for him, as this made sense since he would often commite thievery in many forms. Mostly in stealing moss, although no cats made a complaint and just assumed he was playing around, he wasn't though, Roscuro didn't play around, not with these pitiful creatures that had taken him in. Of course, it was a nice gesture, not like he'd admit it, not that he'd say thank you, unless he wanted something. He wouldn't admit that he was thankful for being took in.

"Silly, pitiful little kitties. Leaving their treasures unattended for Roscuro to snatch up..." he paused slighlty for a few moments, standing up on his hindlegs as if to get a better view. The slim-built tom looked around and saw a figure of a Queen resting peacefully with kits curled at her side. Hmh, reminded him of his own horrible mother, who had thought he was strange, staring up at the light as if it was so precious. But, light was precious to him, he believed it to be the most precious of all things. He was fascinated with it, and was even fascinated at a patch that clung to the ground at that moment, and his large dark eyes stared at it for many moments, drawn to it.

Light to him, was beautiful.

Rebelkit curled up near Lilyflower, and took no notice of Roscuro. After all, when did EchoClan become so soft for ugly and thieving kittens? After not hearing paw steps for a while, he looked up to see Roscuro looking at a patch of ground that the light was bathing on, and he frowned with discontent.

"Gosh, can't you stop looking at light for a second? Why don't you help out instead of just observing things?" he growled. Rebelkit swiftly licked his chest, and watched the ground where the light was also. What could be so interesting about it? Light was all over. Even at night, StarClan's warriors and the moon gave off the bright light that tickled the ground and made it look pale. But didn't most things dance in the air, like the clouds, or scuttle across the ground, like the mice?

"There are so many things that are more attractive then light. Like pretty she-cats, and..." he broke off abruptly.

Roscuro lifted his head when a cat spoke to him, a tom he could tell by the sound of the voice. He knew who it was.. Well... No he didn't, he didn't know these strange cats, they practically kidnapped him from his new home outside where his mother had left him, where the tom had stared into the sky and at the light, ignoring everything until the cats snatched him up and brought him to this horrible place. Hardly any pieces of light blinked in on the cats, only a tiny crack in the roof of the cavern provided him with the light he saw now. How. Disappointing.

Looking over at Rebelkit, his long, thin, rat-like tail tip twitched. "You have your she-cats, Roscuro has his light" Roscuro mewed to him, as he leaned, slowly, back onto all four of his paws, and sitting on his bottom, staring at the light with intent interest, his messy fur made him absolutely look like a large rat.

"Why would Roscuro want to help you cats? Roscuro did not ask to come here, Roscuro was forced here. Roscuro thieves and lies to you pitiful creatures, you're not worth Roscuro's time." the tom explained to Rebelkit, who he was mutual in terms of liking him. Twitching one of his large dark brown ears.

Rebelkit opened his mouth, then slowly shut it. He wondered how an abandoned kit could reply so easily and cooly. Or was he abandoned. Rebelkit did a rare thing - think. He though about how the kit really felt. Was he hurt? Angry? Jealous? But he didn't feel like being a sucker. Oh no, not today. Being sorry would only show how weak clan cats are! If he wanted this little "rat" to accept clan life or be driven away, that wouldn't be the way to do it.

"You would be dead by now if we haven't saved you. You better have some respect us. I don't know why cats make a joke out of your thievery. One day, we'll pay for it when you steal some prey off another Clan's territory. If you like the light so much, why don't you run off to the hills where the light dances all day long?" he said quickly. Every word he said made him regret thinking about the kit's feelings. Was the kit so stupid that he wouldn't chase the light if it was only a few strides away? He shook his head and cursed, and looked up at Roscuro. He really wasn't THAT ugly...

Roscuro twitched his ear tip, before breaking, slowly, reluctantly, his gaze away from the patch of sunlight, listening to him ramble about how ignorant he was, about how he practically didn't deserve to be in the clan. How.... Amusing... This was to hear, Roscuro gave a soft grin towards the tom. As he looked over at him with his dark eyes, shivering a bit as he felt a bit of cold pierce into his short fur, and at his lean body. One thing about rats that you should remember, they found the world a joke, everything funny. Roscuro was the same way, he found the little tom amusing to him, that he was simply silly and it was making him chuckle at how he was acting.

"Roscuro would be dead? Is that what you're saying?" The tom leaned towards the other equal gender ever so slightly, inquiring him. "You say Roscuro would be dead by now, but you do not truly know that, you are not Roscuro, you do not live in Roscuro's life. Roscuro could've easily found Roscuro's own shelter and protected himself. But, light, I would require light, you see, light is important, is it not? Light makes the world go round, without light you would not exist." the tom gave off a soft smirk, almost knowledgable, without light, they would stumble around in the dark. Light was precious, light was incredible.

And he did not realize this. Perhaps it was up to Roscuro to teach Rebelkit about the importance of light.

"Don't the stars and the moon guide us at night? Wouldn't we be able to see in the perfect pitch black night? Don't our paws follow our heart's destination? We don't need light. Light won't get us to StarClan, nor win us any battles. Light won't protect you like friends and mates do. Light will never surround you as if it was a cloak to protect one from emotional harm, let alone physical harm. Friends are what we need in our world. And those lower than us must be our stepping stones to high honor. That alone will save you," Rebelkit said. Hopefully Roscuro would understand this time. Maybe he would never understand. After all, weren't rouges and loners insane? But how could such a young kit be insane? Rebelkit took a deep breath, then spoke again. "If we all lived in pain and hurt, would the simpleness of bright light make us feel better? If we were trees in the right place, we wouldn't grow tall like we would on our own ground. The light may warm us trees, but it will never help us. We will grow old and die, and the light won't save us from the paws of death. Light is something to look at, not something to worship. StarClan is the thing to worship." he rambled. He felt like a true leader, helping others out. But would the kit take it lightly? Well, of course he would...would he?

Roscuro blinked at the tom's words, such talk for such a little kit, and by the amount of fuzz on him, younger than Roscuro himself. "Light is good, the world is dark. The world is demented, sadistic, evil, cruel, light is a blessing in this world, everything is dark and evil, light provides a path away from that, light leads you away from the darkness, light practically protects you from all this darkness. I do not worship the light, but I like the light, a lot..." he trailed off for a few moments, as he closed his eyes, remembering the first time he saw light, it had only been a mere few weeks ago.

"Rebelkit, how would you feel if you had never seen light before? Up into simply a few whiles back? How would you truly feel? Think about it, and then you'll understand me. I've had enough time to think about light, and it is truly amazing." the dark-eyed tom went back to staring at the light, the beautiful, sweet light. He twitched his dark brown nose, and sniffed a bit. "I mean, you have a mother who loves you, you have siblings who do not cast you out because you are strange. You are normal, now look at Roscuro, back to you, who does Roscuro have to turn to in times of need? Nobody, Roscuro has the light though, the light makes Roscuro feel good, safe, it provides warmth, it allows me to see...." he mewed at the other tom cat.

Why do we all f i g h t for life when it's w orth l e s s?

Rebelkit was impressed with Roscuro's determination and loyalty to light. Could something ever be that wonderful? Rebelkit knew he couldn't be outdone by this kit. Would he have to lie to make light sound horrible? He'd heard the elder's tales of fire. Didn't fire have light? He decided it was time to be annoying, or at least a bit more...forceful. He wouldn't want to be outclassed by a rouge kit!
"Light, light, light. You aren't ugly, but your beliefs are annoying!" he cooly spat. He didn't want to get in trouble either. Would he just "accept" Roscuro's beliefs, or would he keep making comebacks?
"You know where light also comes from? Fire! One of my siblings..uh..Honeykit died because there was this huge fire, and the whole forest was a big light..and..uhh..fire is really dangerous so light is too?" he lied. He knew the little rouge would squirm out of his lie. He never really could lie well, but this cat could get out of practically anything! He envied him for a second, then opened his mouth. He could taste Roscuro's words like honey. "The first few weeks I could not see light was perfectly fine for me. And no cat is strange. Every cat has their quirks. And, and...one bad experience does not mean the world is always cruel. The world has its happy moments, its sad moments, its angry moments. Your mother was just a bad cat. That doesn't mean the world is cruel and evil." Rebelkit reasoned.

The tom looked at his kit companino, blinking his dark eyes, the tom wasn't getting on his nerves, but the fact he couldn't lie just made a slight, small, devious grin spread over his tiny masked face."Tut, tut, dear kitten. Roscuro has a tale to tell you." he merely chuckled simply, as he began to laugh. Thinking for a few moments, before going on. "Roscuro was shrouded in darkness for many, many moons, now, Rebelkit, Roscuro had even believed he was blind, his siblings believed that to. But Roscuro could make out shapes, shapes of his siblings, shapes of his mother, food, he smelled it, but he saw it. When light poured in it was like StarClan's paws had delicately stepped within the den. Leaving their beautiful paw prints on the stone-cold cavern floor. Roscuro was amazed with the light, it brought so much life to everything..." he stopped, pausing, his story was true... For once, it was believable as well, especially for some cat who believed so much in this silly nonsense of StarClan.

Although, did you know what had stopped Roscuro for the longest time? From speaking... The words registered. You are not ugly. That made Roscuro's crooked, carelessly mended back together heart seemingly swell with happiness, but he didn't let on. To not be called ugly, that was nice, and he liked it. "Yes, you are correct, Rebelkit, things like those happen. But light brings life, and with life is you and Roscuro" he mewed to the tom, knowing he was probably too young to understand where Roscuro was coming from, as he slowly leaned himself back into the patch of sunlight, resting in it, letting it bathe over his cream and dark-furred coat. Happy that the light was touching him, something so precious was touching him and not flinching. Something so beautiful, so wonderful.

[xXBadgerXx]

Why do we all f i g h t for life when it's w orth l e s s?

Rebelkit knew he couldn't argue any more. He let Roscuro's words touch his heart and coat his tongue. Could light be this precious? Could light be a safeguard from worry? He didn't exactly understand everything, but maybe light made life. How could cats hunt in the dark? Where would the creatures of the day live if they could not see? He took a paw step towards Roscuro, smelling the musky scent of the dark cave he spoke about. He dipped his head slightly, and took a deep breath.

"Light is truly amazing now that I think about it. You're really smart to realize that, you know. How would we catch food if we couldn't see? And how would we fight? Even though you are an outsider, you probably know more than all of the kits combined. If only you could touch everyone with light, maybe the clans would be different. Your a really nice cat, and I hope you know that." he spoke with great fervor. He put a paw where the light hit the ground. He felt warmth seep up into his pelt. What else had he been missing? Maybe he could learn a lot from Roscuro, but for now, the warmth itching every single hair was enough for now.

Light.

A precious thing in a precious world.

Glorious and beautiful, overtaking, breathtaking, startling, it filled everything with emotions, happy emotions, bringing life, bringing you to the tips of your toes.

This included Roscuro.

He gave a soft, happy grin as he stood there near Rebelkit, the tom had finally come to his senses and now realized the importance of light, the slim figured siamese twitched his long, also slender tail. "I am no outsider, I am Roscuro, Roscuro may have been an outsider once, one without a true name, but now Roscuro is just Roscuro, one who seeks light and sees the importance of it."

The small tom gave a soft purr as he sat there, hoping he had found a friend whom he could speak with and confide in, Rebelkit was a wonderful cat right now, he wasn't exactly sure still, though, why some of the other female kittens swooned over him. None of the others ever swooned over Roscuro, but he could see why, Roscuro... Well... Roscuro was....

Strange.
