<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"I can no longer be mates with you, my love." -Mousefur
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Jag... Our owlet is hatching..." -Skyflight
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Muuuum, when will Ripplekit ever open her eyes?" Tigerkit whined.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Soon." Mousefur told him.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"But soon is forever !" Tigerkit groaned. "Why can't I explore camp by myself and then show her around?"
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Wait until she fully opens her eyes and is ready." Mousefur told him firmly.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit sighed. His little sister was lazy! She just had to open her eyes. It wasn't fair.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit quickly got bored. He chewed on his toes delicately a, slid out his claws back and forth, and feeling his pad.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Here! Go play a game." Mousefur meowed and tore out a piece of moss from the edge of their nest and threw it to Tigerkit.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit moaned. But once he began playing with his moss-ball, he couldn't stop. He just played it over and over again...
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-It took a few minutes and Tigerkit's eyes finally rested on Ripplekit, who still hadn't opened her eyes. They were shut.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit felt flames flicker inside his own body. He pounced on top of Ripplekit and tugged her ears and tried to open her eyes himself.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Tigerkit! What on earth are you doing?!" Mousefur hissed. She grabbed Tigerkit's scruff with her teeth and pulled him away.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit frowned. "I only wanted for her to open her eyes!" He said.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Quiet sniggers crackled the nursery. "Poor Tigerkit!" Greykit sneered.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit frowned and settled beside Ripplekit, vowing not to touch her again. He sensed eyes fluttering open.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit turned around. Ripplekit had opened her eyes!
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Ripplekit gazed in confusion at Tigerkit with her watery blue eyes.
"Hi." Tigerkit meowed.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Hi." Ripplekit answered.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Yay! We can explore camp now!" Tigerkit shrieked, jumping out of his nest, but Mousefur's teeth gritted the end of his tail to stop him from running away.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Oh no, you aren't!" She hissed, eventually pulling him back. "Wait until Ripplekit fully settles in." She mewed.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Ugh!" Tigerkit spat. "I wanna explore. NOW!" He shouted.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Me too, Mama." Ripplekit squeaked, unsure if she should join the argument or not.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-All Mousefur did was sigh, curl her tail around her nose and mouth, and fell asleep.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit and Ripplekit crept behind Mousefur in curiousity. Greykit, and his sister Spottedkit, were glancing at them.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Greykit stepped over his mother's, Whitewing, leg. "Spottedkit and I shall show you two around camp." Greykit said, puffing out his chest as if accepting deputyship of the Clan.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit glanced at them. "Well, how can we? Mousefur won't let us." He meowed.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Greykit smirked. "Now this is where you need to think, Tigerkit. You can't just wake her up and ask, she'll just say no! You need to sneak out." He whisper-mewed.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"What if she finds out?" Tigerkit mewed, looking from side to side. He had never thought of sneaking out before. Interesting. Sly. Sneaky.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"That's easy. You just tell her Ripplekit was really happy and settled by the time you went out, and that should do the trick." Greykit winked as he spoke.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit crept soundlessly over Mousefur, and Ripplekit followed after. Except she tumbled over and landed on Mousefur's paw, which caused her to wake up.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Mousefur slanted her eyes suspiciously at Tigerkit and Ripplekit. "Were you two going outside without telling me?" She murmured slowly.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit bowed his head in embarrassment and gulped. "Well, yes, maybe, no, yes. We were, kind of, mama." He murmured guiltily.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Just go." Mousefur muttered. Tigerkit shrugged.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Ok." He gestured Ripplekit forward with his own tail and followed Greykit and Spottedkit.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"And try not to get under any cats' paws!" Mousefur called as the four kits headed out.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Step back, and you'll see the nursery. It's where kits like us and the queens sleep." Greykit meowed.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit glanced up at the large nursery. It was protected by a twisted golden shield of brambles.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"And over here is the elder's den, it's the place you should go if you want storytime." Greykit mewed.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-The four kits peered into the den with a honeysuckle bush dangling over the entrance.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Let's go in!" Ripplekit squeaked, barging in. The other three kits, Tigerkit, Greykit, and Spottedkit, padded in after Ripplekit.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-A scruffy dark grey tom with clouded eyes stared down at them.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Hello." He rasped.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-A ginger tabby she-cat with soft hazel eyes glanced at them.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Greetings, Greykit and Spottedkit. Are these the new kits?" She asked.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Yes. I'm Tigerkit. This is my little sister, Ripplekit." Tigerkit introduced himself to the old tabby, raising his head up.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"I'm Molewhisker." The grey tom meowed.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"And I'm Cherryblossom." The ginger tabby she-cat mewed.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Can we hear a story?" Ripplekit asked, tipping her head onto her shoulder.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Eh, no." Tigerkit muttered pulling back his sister. "We have no time. I wanna explore camp some more."
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-The four padded out of the elder's den and Greykit suddenly stopped as he was one fox-length away from the elder's den.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Molewhisker is blind. Cherryblossom is Molewhisker's sister." He meowed, and then he grinned wildly.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Let's have a race." He mewed, lashing his tail.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Yes!" Spottedkit mewed, spinning around on her tippy toes. "Me and Greykit against you too!"
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit looked at them, and a grin began to creep on his face. There was no turning back now.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Sure." Tigerkit meowed.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Bring it on." Greykit replied.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Ready, get set... Go!" He yelled, and Greykit and Spottedkit bolted.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit and Ripplekit took off swiftly too, and Tigerkit looked over his shoulder and felt a twinkle of satisfaction in his eye as Greykit and Spottedkit slowly dropped back.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Faster!" Greykit panted, eyes furious.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"I'm trying!" Spottedkit whined.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Ha! Tigerkit thought to himself. They don't stand a chance against us now!
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-But Ripplekit was charging towards a cat...
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Ripplekit, wait! Stop! You're about to crash right into a --" But Tigerkit was cut off as Ripplekit slammed headfirst into the young tom cat's white front paw, and fell over.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-The other three kits immediately stopped racing and rushed over to Ripplekit's side.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Are you okay?" Spottedkit asked.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"I'm fine!" Ripplekit squeaked, stumbling up. She glanced at the young white tom cat with the blue eyes staring straight at her. "Who are you?" Ripplekit asked the white tom.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"I'm Snowpaw." The fluffy white tom announced. He narrowed his eyes at the four kits, scanning them over. "And may you be?" He asked.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"I'm Tigerkit, this is my little sister Ripplekit, and my friends Greykit and Spottedkit." Tigerkit introduced.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Snowpaw flicked his tail and sat down.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"I have a sister. Her name is Amberpaw. She is the medicine cat apprentice because of a paw incident. I feel sorry for her, sniffing around those yucky herbs and collecting disgusting cobwebs!" Snowpaw snorted.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Well, we gotta go now. Nice to meet you, Snowpaw." Tigerkit meowed. He was in a hurry. He couldn't explore properly with all these distractions.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Let's go, Greykit and Spottedkit and Ripplekit." Tigerkit meowed, turning around and walking away.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"But I don't wanna leave! Snowpaw seems nice." Greykit whined. But it was no turning back.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit headed for a den underneath a bush but a brown tom with scraps of moss and feathers on his fur stepped out.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"What are you sneaky four doing here? Get out! Shoo!" He snapped.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Greykit quickly led Tigerkit, Ripplekit, and Spottedkit away.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"We were about to go in the warriors den. But Birchfall told us off." He whispered.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Ripplekit spotted a den not far away from the warriors den.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Hey! Why don't we go there?" She squealed, charging forward.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Oh no you don't, Ripplekit!" Tigerkit growled.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Ripplekit had already barged in. Her voice was loud and clear from the inside.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Hello! Who are you? I'm Ripplekit! Why do you smell so weird?"
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit, Greykit, and Spottedkit padded inside the medicine den, and a grey tabby tom with clouded blue eyes was glaring at Ripplekit.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"That's Jayfeather, the ThunderClan medicine cat." Greykit whispered to Tigerkit.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit padded up to Ripplekit and pulled her away.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Let's go." He muttered in her ear through gritted teeth.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit bumped into a leg. He turned around and looked up. A very pretty pale grey she-cat with some white socks and amber eyes was staring softly down at him.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Who are you?" Tigerkit managed to choke out.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Amberpaw, the medicine cat apprentice." The pale grey she-cat mewed.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"That's my brother, Snowpaw." Amberpaw twitched her ears into the direction of her fluffy white brother who was nearby the camp entrance.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"We've met Snowpaw. Ripplekit accidently bumped into him." Tigerkit meowed. He quickly noticed that Greykit and Spottedkit were trailing away. Tigerkit cauhgt a swift glance at them.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Gotta go!" He huffed, darting away. Ripplekit followed.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Eventually, Tigerkit and Ripplekit had followed Greykit and Spottedkit to a stony wall.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"This is Highledge. Firestar speaks up there. In here it's his den." Greykit whispered.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Why don't we sneak in?" Ripplekit suggested. Greykit nodded.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Let's go." He mewed. He padded inside, and Ripplekit followed. Tigerkit and Spottedkit was about to go in but a ginger tom with bright green eyes was towering over them. His teeth were slightly crooked, and he had a pale shade of green, like he was sick.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"One kit means curiousity. Two kits or more mean mischief." The ginger tom huffed, squeezing past the kits into his den.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Is he sick? Tigerkit wondered.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Let's go back, now that we've explore the whole camp." Greykit meowed. Spottedkit nodded.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Well then. Let's go." Tigerkit meowed, and he began to head back to the nursery.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Kits, straighten your backs! Your father will be coming soon." Mousefur meowed.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit grumbled slightly as he and Ripplekit straightened their backs.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Straighter, Tigerkit! Your father doesn't want to see you slouch. Not to mention that it is bad posture!" Mousefur scolded, nudging Tigerkit so he could straighten his back more.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Ripplekit - look at you! Your fur is sticking up all over!" Mousefur scolded Ripplekit, licking down the tufts of blue-grey fur sticking out.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-A shadow fell across the nursery. A large cream tom with black stripes rippling down his body and clear, emerald fern-green eyes towered over the nursery entrance, little evening light piercing the outline of his body. The cat also had the longest tail Tigerkit ever saw.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Mousefur stood proudly over her kits.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Kits, meet your father - Longtail." She meowed.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Longtail stepped in. He purred at the sight of the kits.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"So they are...?" Longtail murmured, his voice trailing away.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Tigerkit and Ripplekit." Mousefur meowed, finishing Longtail's sentence, she flicked the tip of her tail to each kit as she called out each name.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Wonderful." Longtail purred, examining his kits.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"What a strong, handsome son!" Longtail declared in glee as he glanced at Tigerkit.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Tigerkit raised his head proudly as Longtail lumbered over to Ripplekit.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"What a beautiful, perfect darling!" Longtail purred in delight as he scanned over Ripplekit. Longtail glanced at Mousefur.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"I have to go, my patrol needs to report back to Brambleclaw." Longtail meowed.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"How is Firestar currently?" Mousefur said slowly, twitching her ears.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Longtail suddenly had a serious expression on his face.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Bad." He murmured quietly so only Mousefur could hear. And with that he stalked away.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-What was that all about? Tigerkit wondered.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Pine gazed in Midnightshade's deep blue eyes.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"What did you want to talk to me about?" Pine managed to choke out.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Midnightshade closed her eyes and sighed. The two owls were away from OwlClan camp, in OwlClan territory. Midnightshade was Pine's mother as well as teacher. Midnightshade was a medicine owl but she insisted that she would train Pine, Ripper, and Star to be fully-fledged warrior owls, warrior owls that OwlClan could be proud of. She slowly breathed again..
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Pine," Midnightshade hooted firmly. Pine looked up.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Yes, mother?" He murmured.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"You are no longer deemed worthy of calling me mother. Because, I am clearly not your mother."
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"No! It can't be!" Pine screeched.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Yes, it can be, Pine!" Midnightshade screeched back. Suddenly, Midnightshade seemed so, dark.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Your parents were two revenge seekers, named Skyflight and Jag. Skyflight used to be mates with Sunheart before we joined ThunderClan, but when we did, Sunheart fell in love with Mousefur. When Skyflight found out, she was so upset, she had sworn revenge. Jag had offered to help.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"So Skyflight had unleashed a pack of dogs into the forest to attack ThunderClan. She thought that the dogs would kill Mousefur. But boy, she was wrong. The dogs ended up killing a queen and her kit, injuring another queen and her kit.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"That was Skyflight's and Jag's last draw, after Mousefur had four kits. Sunheart kept two of them who are in OwlClan right now, but Mousefur kept the other two and they are growing in her Clan. Skyflight and Jag attacked Mousefur at a cliff, but the other good owls came and fought. A few owls died that day. Sunheart chucked Skyflight and Jag down a cliff, and that was their end. That's when their eggs hatched..." Midnightshade's voice trailed away, and she lost her breath.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Should I tell Ripper and Star?" Pine asked.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"That would be appreciated." Midnightshade murmured. Pine was about to fly off but a question was nagging him. So he turned and asked;
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"Who are the two kits of Mousefur in OwlClan? Who are the two kits of Mousefur in ThunderClan?" Pine asked. Midnightshade shook her head.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"We may never know. We're never even aware of it." Midnightshade rasped.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-"I should take you somewhere." Pine hooted, concerned for his mother - er, so-called mother.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Midnightshade's eyes were closed. Pine nudged her to her feet and guided her too a nest inside a hollow tree.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Midnightshade's eyes fluttered open, but they closed again. Pine closed his eyes and sighed. The truth seemed so real. Pine turned and flapped off. He needed to tell his siblings.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Jayfeather stepped in the dark, empty leader's den. He slowly blinked his blind pale blue eyes. He padded further and he felt his paw rest on fur. He bent down and sniffed around the cat's fur. Firestar.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-A strange odor had risen in the air and Jayfeather flinched a little. He pushed up his nose into his muzzle, until it was lost in his fur.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Jayfeather rubbed his paw over Firestar's body and felt something rough against his pad, like a graze. Jayfeather bent down and he sniffed the rough bit. He felt it again. It was a mark, a graze, and flesh.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Jayfeather lifted his paw and let it rub around Firestar's body. He eventually felt his paw grasp his muzzle. Jayfeather slowly opened Firestar's mouth and felt his way around inside. He took out some kind of product.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Jayfeather began feeling the product. Small, smooth, and it smelled like apples. Apple seed! Jayfeather thought. It should be apple seed!
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-But Jayfeather felt sure that apple seeds weren't enough to kill a cat. Unless he had been as weak as Firestar. Jayfeather was determined to find more substances in his mouth.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-So he began feeling his way around again,p. Jayfeather had enough and grabbed Firestar's head and pulled it toward him so he could see his neck. He felt liquid trickle onto his chest.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Jayfeather let go and glanced at his chest, though he could see nothing, so he felt his way around. He swiped up the liquid and sniffed it.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-It smelled as sharp as thorns. Darker then night. Powerful then a badger. Poison then deathberries. Wait, deathberries? This was deathberry juice! Some cat must've poured it into Fierstar's mouth after forcing in the apple seed. But what were the marks from? To hold him down?
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Jayfeather rushed to the medicine den with the apple seed clutched in one paw and the liquid on the other. Jayfeather put down his apple seed and tried to dig a hole with one paw, and he poured in the deathberry juice and dropped the apple seed in the hole, and refilled it.
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Who has been at Firestar?
<span style="color:aquamarine;font-family:Papyrus;font-size:22px;background:-webkit-linear-Brambleclaw's eyes fluttered open as he found himself in a field of blinding light. He slowly blinked. It felt like two seconds ago when he arrived at the Moonpool.
