I cuddle with my mother as I sleep with my sisters. I squeak when Dawnkit moves and I feel Stripekit on top of me but I pay no attention. Slowly but surely, I open my eyes and stare with wonder at my surroundings. I look at my mother and marvel at her sleek tortiseshell fur and wonder at my own silver tabby fur. Where did I get this fur? It surely wasn't from mama. I look at Dawnkit and Stripekit and marvel at their fur; Dawnkit looks like our mother and Stripekit, she doesn't look like our mother or I'm pretty sure our father so where did she get her color scheme from?! I look up at our mother and cuddle with her happily. She was there for us and I was happy because well I'm a mama's boy, I won't deny it and I'm proud of it.

"Mama, can I go explore?" I ask her nicely

"Sure little one, just stay out of trouble okay?" She askes

"I will mama!" I smile happily as I stumble towards the nursery entrance before I hear a voice call me.

"Hey Daggerkit wait!" I see Whitekit stumble to me.

"Hi Whitekit!" I reply happily and smile at her

"Watcha doing?" She asks me

"I'm going to explore!" I squeak happily as she looks at me with wide green eyes.

"Can I come with you?" She asks and I smile even brighter

"Yeah!" I exclaim happily and try to run outside but I fail and fall on my face

"Oof!" I sqeak

Later

I run to the nursery and look around for my mother but she's not there, only Dawnkit and Stripekit are there.

"Mama?!" I call for her but I'm answered by Whitekit's mother, Snowflower.

"Daggerkit, your mother is in the medicine den. She is not well." She tells me and I immediately run to the medicine den though I stop in my tracks when I see her.

"Razorstar, I'm so sorry. Swiftfur, she's dead." That's all I hear before I run over to my mother's body and cry into her fur.

"Mama wake up, wake up mama!" I cry though it was futile. My mother had passed on, leaving Razorstar a single father and on his own to raise us. She was gone and there was nothing I could do about it which hurt more than anything
