The dark coziness of the nursery made Duskheart feel safer than any other den. She lapped at her kit's head gently. Dewkit let out mewl of annoyance and pawed at her mother her eyes still closed. " Sagetail" She whispered to the queen on the far side of the den. Sagetail let out a moan in reply. "You okay?" Sagetail shook her head, " I have a bellyache " she mumbled, " It hurts really bad." Duskheart pulled herself to her feet. Her kits scrambled towards her. She padded out of the den towards Snakepelt's den. The old tom was grumpy but he did have talent with herbs. She padded inside and looked around the dark den full of the tangy scents of herbs. Crimsonpaw was fast asleep in her nest her grey fur rising and falling evenly. " Crimsonpaw, Wake up! " she hissed in her ear. Crimsonpaw stretched out her paws and looked up sleepily. "What is it?" she yawned, she got to her paws and looked at Duskheart. "Sagetail has a bellyache and I was gonna ask Snakepelt for some juniper berries." Crimsonpaw looked around the den, " Well Snakepelt isn't here, he disappeared last night." Duskheart narrowed her eyes, " What do you mean disappeared?"
As Crimsonpaw explained Duskheart became more suspicious. "So your saying you haven't seen Snakepelt since moonhigh?" Crimsonpaw nodded, " He was whispering to someone in the clearing and it wasn't one of our cats. He was much thinner and much meaner. I could hear him hissing at Snakepelt." Duskheart shook her head, "This is not good at all" She grabbed the juniper berries at padded to the nursery. "Sagetail here are your juniper berries." Duskheart padded to her nest. Her kits snuggled up to her mewling happily. Dewkit blinked open her eyes to show a beautiful emerald green color. " You have opened your eyes!" She lapped at Dewkit happily. "Duskheart may I go outside?" Duskheart stared at her kit, " Not yet wait for your brothers to open their eyes" A few days later both Spiderkit and Crowkit opened their eyes. Dewkit was tackling her brothers in the nursery while Duskheart talked to Sagetail who had just had her kits. Her kits were really little one was a pale tan tom named Robinkit the other was a dark brown tom named Tigerkit. Many other cats had gone missing like Snakepelt such as Larkpaw, Tallfoot, Redear and her dad Birchflame.
Birchflame had been gone since two days ago when he was hunting alone and he had disappeared. Jaggedstar has been sending out patrols daily looking for his lost cats but no one had found them. The clan was getting then it happened Duskheart disappeared. Dewkit, Spiderkit, and Crowkit were now being watched by Sagetail and her mate Fallentail. But that didn't make Dewkit feel better. Spiderkit and Crowkit had adapted well but she didn't. Crimsonbreeze was padding towards Dewkit. " Are you okay Dewkit? I know your sad but we are gonna find them." her cheerful voice didn't help. Dewkit sighed and padded away. A hunting patrol burst in Dawnfire leading "We found found something that I think Duskhearts kits might wanna see." Crowkit and Spiderkit were sleeping so only Dewkit had to go. Dewkit padded out into the forest with Jaggedstar. They stopped and saw tufts of her mother's and father's fur and blood on the ground.
