Yellowfang curled up in the makeshift nest she made for her new kits and herself. She knew she had to give them up, but where to start. Brokentail was already in ShadowClan, and cats would get suspicious. Raggedstar had been a little more helpful this time, but both of them knew that these kits would have to be raised by another she=cat like their son since Yellowfang was a full-fledged medicine cat.

Raggedstar appeared at her side, setting down wet moss for Yellowfang to lap at. And he looked down at their kits. "Any idea of what-," the dark brown tabby choked up, "what we're going to do with them?"

Yellowfang gazed down at her two kits, a flame colored tom and a long furred solid gray tom. "They must not be raised in ShadowClan, I can't watch them grow like Brokentail; it hurt so much when I did for our son." She responded, tears forming in her lids.

Raggedstar sat down, gazing down at three of the four cats he loved, lying before him. "Our sons will never get to see their real kin until their first gathering." He sighed, before locking eyes with Yellowfang. "Where will they go? what will we do to get them there?"

Yellowfang looked down at them. "Thunder will hold you near. I received this prophecy before I found out I was pregnant, I think they were talking about ThunderClan; that is where our kits will go." Yellowfang responded.

"ThunderClan! Are you insane, they will raise them to be weaklings; kittypet friends!" he screeched. But Yellowfang signaled for him to lower his voice.

"Says the Clan leader who is one half Kittypet." She teased.

Raggedstar glared at her, before turning away. "Fine, do what you want. I better get back to the clan, and do realize. If our kits go to ThunderClan, we will never be secret mates again, and if anything happened to them. I will reveal the truth to the whole clan." He hissed, before leaving the clearing.

Yellowfang stared down at their kits, nameless and cold. She had to do this, 'please starclan watch over them.' She prayed, picking them up to carry them towards the Twolegplace.

Yellowfang was running across twoleg walls, hawk talons digging into her pelt. not even noticing her lighter weight. As soon as the hawk was gone, she gazed down to see what was originally two kits. Now was one kit. The long furred solid gray tom. Looking around behind her, at the other dens. Her kit was nowhere in sight.

Sighing, Yellowfang decided she will just say she decided to give it to a kittypet instead. And she carried on towards the ThunderClan's border with the twolegplace.

The very next day, a light brown tabby kittypet she-cat heard mewling from a bush. and while looking around, she scented the scent of a forest cat. as she continued looking, she found a flame colored kitten who seemed to have been dropped in the bush in the she-cat's yard. So she picked it up to carry it over to her own litter of kits. The tom joined their suckling at her supply of milk.

Little did either mother know, this kit would be returning to his kin soon.
