"Shadowclan attack!"

Fallingrain purred. "Stop it right now! You're making Nestkit, Nettlekit and Fallowkit jumpy."

"Come on, let's ask the elders to tell us a story!" Dawnkit squeaked.

"No, let's get Frozenclaw to play with us!" Frostkit argued.

"Hey, Owlkit, bet you can't get to the Medicine cat den faster than me!" Runningkit meowed.

"Can too!"

"I have a better idea."

"Frozenclaw!" All four kits chorused.

"Get into pairs and come to the camp entrance." He said, smiling.

''let's go together!" Runningkit meowed to Owlkit.

"Sure!" she replied.

The kits raced to the entrance. Frozenclaw was there with Fallingrain. They kept glancing anxiously around.

"We have something to tell you kits." Fallingrain said slowly.

"I'll tell them." Frozenclaw interrupted."Owlkit and Frostkit, we love you both very much. But can you see that you're smaller than Runningkit and Dawnkit? You don't look like us very much? And you both tend to be weaker?"

"We're not-" Frostkit started.

"You are our foster kits." Fallingrain said quickly.

"What does that mean?" Dawnkit said loudly.

"That Owlkit and Frostkit are not our kits."

"What? Who are our real parents?" Frostkit sounded like she wanted to wail out loud. This was too sudden.

"Your mother was a cat called Prettycloud and your father is Twistedfoot."

No one spoke for a long time. What? But Fallingrain always told us that we were her favorite kits. Owlkit thought angrily.

"Why are you being so quiet, Owlkit? Are you okay?"

"Why tell us now?" she said at last.

"Because when Runningkit and Dawnkit become apprenticed you'll have to wait for another moon."

And," Frozenclaw added, "We had to tell you sometime."

Frostkit ran back to the nursery with Frozenclaw following her, trying to calm her.

"Dawnkit, Runningkit, go comfort Frostkit, please."Fallingrain demanded.

The two kits scampered away. Fallingrain turned to Owlkit. "You're taking it very well."

"Ugh! I thought I could always trust you!" Owlkit spat suddenly enraged.

"You can trust me." Fallingrain whispered.

"No I can't! You lied to us!"

"I always loved you, though. And I always will."

Owlkit stalked off towards the nursery. Frostkit burst out as she stepped in. "I hate Frozenclaw and Fallingrain!" she yelled and went hide behind the freshkill pile.

"Owlkit? You don't hate me and Dawnkit do you?" Runningkit asked anxiously.

"No, just Fallingrain and Frozenclaw."

"Owlkit, Frostkit, I want you to apologize to them right now!" Deepstar hissed.

"No! Owlkit shouted. She ran into Icicleheart's den. When she wasn't there Owlkit liked to just sit in the den and relax. It calmed her.

"Owlkit?" Icicleheart meowed.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here." She said turning away.

"Wait. What's wrong?"

"Fallingrain lied to us! She always told me her kits were the best but clearly I'm not the best anymore!"

"You're not making sense. She loved you and still loves you."

"I won't apologize and neither will Frostkit."

"If you don't want to, you don't have too. You're always welcome in my den if you ever need to talk to anyone."

"Really? Thanks!" Owlkit squeaked.

Frostkit was sitting with her back to Fallingrain. Dawnkit and Runningkit were playing together on the far side of the camp.

"You didn't apologize either?" Owlkit asked Frostkit.

"Never!" more loudly she added, "I hate Fallingrain and Frozenclaw!"

That night the kits shared a vole and all four of them slept way from Fallingrain. Although Owlkit knew Dawnkit and Runningkit would go back to sleep with Fallingrain by tomorrow. But not me! I will stay with Icicleheart if I ever need a mother that doesn't lie!

That night she had a dream. Well, an old memory actually. She and Frostkit were playing outside when Dawnkit and Runningkit jumped on to them. Fallingrain and Frozenclaw came and began to play too. "This is so much fun! I hope it's always like this!" Owlkit screeched.

Then the dream changed. The memory bit wasn't a memory any more. Fallingrain and Frozenclaw turned on them, their eyes shining with hatred.

"We want our real kits!"

"You're worthless to us!"

She woke up and shuddered. She was angry at both of them but Fallingrain's betrayal hurt the most. She had always been so kind and treated her seemingly nicer than the others, though that was only because Owlkit spent the most time with her. They had always told each other everything. Turns out, she had kept the biggest secret of them all.

I hope the chapters will get longer as the story progresses. OC's for other clans will be appreciated!
