Daylight shone through the nursery walls casting dark shadows that danced in the breeze. A small mouse scurried through the shadows, before a lazy elder hooked it with their claw. Suddenly an reddish tabby raced across the clearing from the medicine cat den. "The kits are coming!" She yowled calling the whole clan to the clearing. Ashfeather raced into the warm nursery carrying a stick and some dock. "Quickly, chomp on this when the worst comes!" She meowed to Breezestorm.

"Why do you even bother, everyone wants us to die anyway. That why Oakflight isn't here to see his kits." Breezestorm hissed pushing away the stick.

"No, you are a member of the clan, I would never wish something like that onto you or any cat. And his death wasn't our clan mates fault, it's Riverclan." Ashfeather meowed as she built up support for the queen's head out of moss.

"Not everyone would say the same," Breezestorm sighed as she gazed over to Stormclaw who was staring thorns at the weak queen. Ashfeather chose to ignore the comment and continued to work. Suddenly a wet bundle plopped on the floor.

"Here, it's a tom." She meowed sadly, "Another one coming." Soon another kit plopped down on the wet earth. "It's a she-cat!" The medicine cat meowed hopefully. Breezestorm just sighed for it was all over. Before Ashfeather could even leave the den she heard the starts of a clan meeting.

"Ashfeather... do you really think my innocent kit will be the fall of our clan," Breezestrom asked licking the little kits head.

Ashfeather kneaded her paws and bit her lip, "Well… no one knows for sure… so… " Breezestorms face drooped and she turned her kits away from the medicine cat. Seeing she wasn't wanted, she padded out into the anxious clan.

"… if everyone agrees we will have the kit under constant supervision from a warrior." Duskstar ended the discussion as Ashfeather padded in.

"I think we should wait, until the tom shows signs of being evil, we might force him to become what we expect him to be!" a young warrior meowed.

"No Fuzzyheart, if he will be the fall of our clan then whatever we do makes no difference," a older warrior added.

The clan broke into arguments until Stormclaw hissed, "I think we should banish him and his mother. They'll only cause trouble!" At this the clan feel into a agreement. Ashfeather gazed helplessly as the fate was determined.

"We should just wait like Fuzzyheart said!" Ashfeather hissed. "He is only a kit, if we teach him right and show him how great we are, he will never learn evil."

Duskstar nodded, "It is decided then."
