Prologue
"Honey! Hold on!"
Falcontalon screamed as his mate, Honey, was giving birth to his kits. Honey was a kittypet. Falcontalon knew that his leader, Featherstar, was bitter and would not accept kittypets, rouges, or cats and kits from other clans. Falcontalon made the clan think that he had mated with Featherstar's sister, Mistsky. Mistsky's kits had recently died a few days before. If Falcontalon brought Honey's kits to ThunderClan, Mistsky could nurse them, And Featherstar would do anything to help her sister with anything.
After hours and hours of pain, three balls of fluff came squirming on the soft grass.
"Are the beautiful, Honey? Honey!"
The beautiful amber she-cat had bloodstains on her stomach and rear. Honey's Silver eyes gave Falcontalon a warm look and shut forever.
The kits cried and cried without their mothers' milk. Falcontalon rested his russet tail on Honey's head, which was motionless.
"I am glad you believed in StarClan. I will see you again one day, Honey."
Falcontalon picked up his kits and left back to ThunderClan, away from his dead mate.
The russet tom walked into the nursery, and Mistsky woke up.
"Those poor kits! Where is their mother?"
Falcontalon had to lie to Mistsky.
"I found them by the border. I don't think the mother is coming back to get them."
"I will raise them. They need to grow up big and strong for ThunderClan."
"Mistsky, you are the new mother. You will name your new sons." Said Falcontalon.
"The little white one, with the black chest and ears, will be Whitekit. The grey one will be Brackenkit. And the dark grey one with the black muzzle will be."
Mistsky thought up a name for the swift cat.
"Quickkit."
