"A loner you say?" said Eveningdrop. "Yes" said Rainpaw "I believe her father said her name was…Autumn!"

"I have to take her to Wildstar" said Eveningdrop. The two padded towards his den. "Wildstar?" said Eveningdrop. "Yes what is it Eveningdro-whose kit is that?" he questioned. "I'm not sure" said Eveningdrop "Rainpaw found her."

Wildstar turned his head to Rainpaw. "Do you know whose kit that is?" he said. Rainpaw took a moment. "Yes," she said "she belonged to a brown tabby. I believe he's a loner. There was no clan or kittypet scent on either of them. Her name is Autumn."

Wildstar suddenly realized this was Foresteye's kit. He met him at the Gathering. Foresteye went missing along with Skyleaf, who was bearing kits. "Who is her mother?" he asked. Rainpaw looked slightly unsure. "The tabby said that he lost enough…I think the mother is dead." He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Skyleaf…dead? The poor thing must be heart-broken he thought, remembering she was his mate.

"She will be known as Autumnkit" he said "I'm sure Lighttail would be happy to take her in" Eveningdrop nodded. "Rainpaw, would you please take her to Lighttail?" Rainpaw began to take Autumnkit.

On the way to the nursery, the warriors were glaring at the kit. Surely there's nothing wrong with a helpless kit she thought. Rainpaw reached the nursery. "Lighttail?" said Rainpaw, with her mouth full. "Yes, Rainpaw? Oh! What do we have here?" said Lighttail. "I found this kit…a loner I guess. Wildstar wants you to take care of her" said Rainpaw. "I'd be happy to. What is her name?" asked Lighttail. "Autumnkit"she said. She padded away from the den.

"Do you think I made the right choice…taking Autumnkit?" Rainpaw asked. "The warrior kit states not to neglect a kit in pain or danger…she obviously was in some sort of danger" said Eveningdrop. Rainpaw felt a little better. "Do we need anymore herbs?" she asked, trying to take her mind off Autumnkit. "Just some marigold" said Eveningdrop.

Rainpaw was on her way to the edge of the territory. She noticed Darkstar, the leader of EarthClan, speaking to his deputy, Rockheart. "Are you sure this is going to work?" said Rockheart. "Yes, you mousebrain!" said Darkstar, viciously "Soon, we will be the most powerful clan. Not to mention the only." Rainpaw was stunned. She knew that all of EarthClan had dark minds, but the words still made every hair on her pelt stand up.

She grabbed the marigold and ran to Eveningdrop. "Eveningdrop!" she yowled "EarthClan is planning to rule the forest!"

"Where did you get that idea?" said Eveningdrop. "I heard Darkstar speaking to Rockstar about something" she said, "He said that they will be the most powerful clan in the forest!"

"I must tell Wildstar" said Eveningdrop. She ran to the leader's den. "Wildstar, there's something you need to know…" she said.
