"Hey Ruby!" A black tom with caramel spots and bright yellow eyes meowed as he climbed into a dark room, moonlight filtered through a large window witch the tom was coming through. a bright red she-cat with emerald eyes lay on a little green couch with kits by her side.
"Hello PatchClaw," The she-cat said quietly. PatchClaw made his way across the room, climbing onto the couch that Ruby was laying on with her three kits.
"Wow their eyes are open!" PatchClaw exclaimed, his yellow eyes swam with happiness. Ruby nodded.
"This one," she said indicating with her tail at a dull red she-cat with bright yellow eyes and a black spot on her face and shoulder, "Can go to your clan."
"Really?" PatchClaw said excitedly, his eyes swimming with joy.
"And this one too," Ruby meowed, pointing at a large tom that was a spitting image of his father, but with emerald eyes.
"Thank you so much Ruby, but why are you giving them up?" PatchClaw asked. Ruby looked down at her paws.
"The housefolk will not keep any of them, but the two I'm giving to you have a low chance of being adopted. This one," She indicated to the tom, "Has a twisted paw."
"Oh he does?" PatchClaw said curiously poking at the kit's twisted front paw. Ruby nodded.
"And this red one is fit for a life like yours she has small fluffy paws that make no sound and she seems to be territorial," Ruby explained. PatchClaw nodded.
"What is the one you're keeping's name?" PatchClaw asked.
"His twolegs will decide," Ruby said simply as she looked at the black tom, he had a caramel heart shape on his forehead and one green and one yellow eye.
"oh that's great," PatchClaw said sarcastically.
"What are you naming those two?" Ruby asked, playfully batting at PatchClaw's ear.
"I was thinking you should name the red one, remember they have kit at the end of their names in the clans. And I was going to name the tom TwistKit," PatchClaw meowed.
"What about BrightKit?" Ruby asked.
"great! then it's settled, TwistKit and BrightKit!" PatchClaw cheered. Ruby smiled.
"You should take them to your camp now," Ruby whispered, as the kits had started to sleep.
"See you soon love" PatchClaw whispered, touching his nose to Ruby's nose.
"See you soon," Ruby whispered as PatchClaw took TwistKit and BrightKit with him, bounding to the window. PatchClaw paused then jumped out and bounded into the dark pine woods.
