Chapter 2:
Leafpool stood still in shock, her thoughts swirling around in her head.
How can I be expecting kits? Medicine cats aren't even supposed to fall in love, let alone have kits!
Oh great Starclan! What am I going to do?
They are obviously Crowfeather's…
What am I going to tell him?
What am I going to tell my clan?
Leafpool couldn't answer that.
She needed some fresh air.
She walked out of her den, looking around. Then she spotted the cat she was looking for.
"Squirrelflight?" She called across the clearing. Squirrelflight spotted her, nodding farewell to Brambleclaw, who she had been talking to, and headed over.
"What's wrong?" Squirrelflight asked, looking worried.
"I need some fresh air, and some herbs. Will you come with me and help me collect them?" Leafpool explained.
"Sure! Why not?" Squirrelflight responded. The two walked out of camp, and headed toward the old abandoned twoleg den, where Catnip grew. Once they got there, Leafpool led Squirrelflight to where the stocks of Catnip grew. She quickly showed Squirrelflight how to pick it, and started grabbing a few pawfuls of the precious plant.
Once they were done, Leafpool asked:
"Ready to go back?"
Squirrelflight replied back with:
"No. not until you tell me why you really brought me here. I can tell something is troubling you."
