The days went by bringing the same dark emotions.

Indigo lay in her nest, in her newly crafted den from her fighters and hunters, the whole time. They were kind and respectful and treated her well.

She thought.

She thought of her mother...and her sister...or sisters.

She recalled her distant memories, she remembered her life.

She remembered how she was accepted with Flora and Creek and Golden. She promised them she would return.

She never did.

She found her sister...she found Lava and started this group. She was a leader now, and yet all she did was curl up in her nest, shivering, and let tears fall from her red eyes.

Most of all, though, she was thankful for those who cared. Scarlet bravely lifted herself up in the morning to treat her, sometimes showing (Maddie) the young she-cat some herbs and ways to fix wounds.

It want the bruises and scars that hurt Indigo.

It was the wounds in her minds.

They scarcely healed each time with the appearance of Lava. He basically saved her, carrying her back when she was lying their in pain and sorrow. He brought her to her warm nest and checked on her daily, taking control of her duties and leading the Team.

She recalled how it all went.

''He dragged her back to camp with all the strength he had, keeping her as comfortable as possible and never letting her drop. Her woozy eyes could see the cats watching, but he powered through and retuned her safely. He saved her, her life, her Team and probably her sister too.

She could never thank him enough, the best possible thing being:

"Thank you...Lava. This means a lot to me, and now I know you are the best Second Leader (Next in Line) and...friend, I've ever had."

He just looked at her, something flickering in his eyes, and then nodded and exited the den.''

And he has been helping her ever since.

Indigo truly had cats that cared for her.

And for once she could stay somewhere that she could call home, and leave her constant years of wandering.

And soon her insane cheeriness would return.
