Mossstar looked down at her kits. "The tortoiseshell is Ivykit, and the white kit is Lilykit." Oakbranch nodded in approval, "Those are perfect names. They will be the strongest warriors Mossclan has ever seen." Lilykit rolled on top of her sister, and Ivykit let out a sharp mewl. Mossstar gently pushed Lilykit away from Ivykit. Willowpool shooed Oakbranch out of the nursery. "I'll check on the kits tomorrow." Mossstar nodded and pulled the kits closer. She shivered. It had started snowing again. If too much snow fell into the nursery, Lilykit would become invisible.

And considering this was the Clans' first leaf-bare on the island...Both clan leaders were fretting over how many cats' lives would be lost. None of them were accustomed to living without twolegs around except Mossstar. It was hard enough to teach Rain how to cope for herself, Mossstar shook her head. How were the clans going to survive?
