Darkkit rolled over struggling to see her mother, Flowerpetal carefully observed her four kits. Darkkit stood up shaking the leaves from her pitch-black pelt and glanced at her sleeping sisters and brother, Oh wait… of course Snowkit wasn't there she was off in the stinky medicine den getting nose-deep in Marigold and Yarrow. Darkkit prodded Firekit in the side "Firekit wake up!" she hissed Firekit rolled over closer to her sister Sparrowkit who appeared to have a cold, hey Snowkit lookie here! A sick kit, fix her with your master herbs! Darkkit rolled her eyes at the thought and dragged her half-sister out of her nest, Firekit groaned and wacked Darkkit in the face with a sheathed paw, Darkkit flinched but didn't let go.
Finally Firekit rolled over and yawned a lazy yawn, "come on Firekit! Remember today is our apprentice ceremony!" Firekit perked up. "But first let's get some salmon!" Firekit grumbled, "any birds?" Darkkit stamped her paw "why do you want a bird again? You always get birds, they aren't even Riverclan food!" Firekit stared at her "we catch them don't we?" Darkkit thought it over "Sometimes but mostly in leaf-Bare! And it's the end of Greenleaf!" Just as Firepaw opened her mouth to form a sharp retort Lightningkit stepped out of the nursery and looked at them suspiciously "hey your bickering woke me up, it's not that big of a deal until it wakes me up ok?" she snapped in her bossy tone.
"Lightningkit are you showing your sisters who's the boss?" Flyingfire said suddenly, Darkkit jumped she had never liked Flyingfire that much, but Lightningpaw did and Lightningpaw was very clearly Flyingfire's favorite of all of us. Just then Flowerpetal stepped out of the den glaring at Flyingfire "Flyingfire get away from my kits!" She snapped "no!" Lightningpaw cried "let him stay! He's fun!" Flowerpetal stepped forward and swept all the kits back into the nursery.
"Flyingfire!" Darkkit heard her mother yell she moved closer to the entrance to hear the conversation "lower your voice dear the kits might be listening." Flowerpetal growled. "Don't call be 'dear' you can't win be back, and you can't take my kits!" Flyingfire snorted "stop reffering to them as your kits they're my kits too!" What? Darkkit was taken aback by his words. Flowerpetal whipped her head around "would you keep it down? These kits are too good for you and you don't deserve them, you're a deserter a backstabber and you don't care about them your just trying to get to me, leave them out of it!" As she turned to leave Flyingfire snapped "do they really have nothing to do with the reason I hate you? Is that why I had no say in their names? And you never even let me close enough to have a short conversation with them? And what about the black one? Why do you even keep that worthless hunk of junk? She doesn't look like either of us doesn't act like either of us and causes nothing but touble! She's worthless!" Darkkit felt dizzy as her mother fiercely defended her kits FIrekit said something to her but she didn't hear it, all she could hear was Flyingfire's repeating words: "She's Worthless!"
