Ebonykit stretched out. She looked around at Plumkit, Sprucekit, Darkkit, Mistkit, Thistlekit, and her mother, Briarfrost. She mewled and nudged her mother as a sign she was hungry. The small kitten stood confused as red liquid dripped down from the young queen. Ebonykit backed away, frightened. She looked out of the nursery to see a group of twolegs and foxes, which ran straight for her.

Ebonykit awoke from her nightmare, shivering pressed against her mother.

"Briarfrost?" She winced as she looked up, but her fur flattened as she saw her mother nuzzle her.

"Yes?" Briarfrost licked her head, aware of the kit's fear scent.

"Can I go outside?" She said with fake confidence, the edges of the dream still piercing her. Her mother nodded a brisk yes and started talking to Darkkit, Mistkit, and Thistlekit's mother, Robinleaf. Ebonykit padded outside and took in the beautiful view she got from MountainClan camp. She walked over to a farther part to try to get a better view. She almost had a perfect sight of the surrounding clans until her father Cloudbright pulled her over.

"Careful." He shook his head at her in disapproval, and then walked away. Ebonykit then decided she would go over to her favorite place, the medicine den. She eagerly bounded into Copperbird's den, giving the young medicine cat a friendly smile as she sat down.

"So, Ebonykit. What have you been up to?" Copperbird asked what he always did. She considered telling him about the dream, but decided it made her uncomfortable to explain, and it probably was something dumb anyway.

"Well, I've been walking around, and thats pretty much it. What about you?" Ebonykit met his eyes, and she was sure she saw a hint of hesitation.

"Uh, I was with...Fawnstar." Copperbird struggled. Ebonykit decided not to ask. It was most likely personal.

"Oh, okay." She said. After that, Ebonykit mostly sat in the medicine den, quiet, watching Copperbird work. Her mother called her to come back in later, and she called goodbye as she returned to the nursery.
