Shade - Mother of Amber and Cloud - Dark grey she-cat with amber eyes

Cloud - Son of Shade - White tom with green eyes

Amber - Daughter of Shade - Silver tabby she-cat with amber eyes

Amber leaned farther back into the small hole between stacked boxes, her eyes wide with fear. From the entrance to the alley she heard a menacing voice, "Come on out, you know you stand no chance of hiding." A figure padded past her hiding spot, claws unsheathed and an angry look on their face. Amber crouched down as the other cat went past, then with a yowl launched herself towards the other cat. Her victim turned their head, but it was too late, and they quickly found themselves pinned by the small kit.

"I win!"

"No you don't!" Amber's intended victim kicked up their hind legs, throwing her off. They then tackled her, clawing her belly and sides. "OW! GET OFF!" The small she-cat in pain, the wounds on her stomach stinging badly. Her attacker slowly got off her, glaring angrily at Amber.

"That was easy, you're horrible at fighting!" Amber flinched, though she knew she couldn't fight well compared to her brother, his words still stung worse than her newly gotten wounds

"Cloud! Even if your sister is a horrible fighter, you don't need to rub it in."

"Sorry Mother."

"Now, I have some food for you both." The black she-cat carefully cut the fresh mouse into almost perfect halves, giving each kit a piece while making sure that Cloud got the larger portion. Amber ate her food quickly, giving herself a quick wash afterwards.

"Mother, could you finish your story from yesterday?"

"What was the story about again?"

"It was about how your brother got you exiled from Birchclan for killing a cat, even though they were evil." The black she-cat grinned faintly to herself before speaking, "Well, my brother Pineclaw, recongized my scen on the body of Flowertail, the evil cat that I was forced to kill. He told my mate, who was the clan leader, and I was exiled from the clan. If I was in their territory after nightfall that day, I was to be killed. Shortly after leaving, I went back to spy on the clan, and found that the leader had taken a new mate, a cat by the name of Spottedflower. It was the very same day that I realized I was expecting kits, so I came here, and lived on my own until you two were born, and now here we are."

"Cloud, Amber, the main reason I tell you this is because one day, when you are older, you will be the tools of my revenge. You will destroy Birchclan."
