"Welcome to the cave" RIpple said happily, leading her into the cave. "We each live in a separate cave. I am a kit-mother, but when my kits become to-be's, I will be a prey hunter."
"I am a cave-guard" Water said, appearing "I guard the prey hunters while they hunt, looking for eagles."
"And I'm a kit!" GInger said happily. "WHere do you come from?"
"i am a warrior from thunderclan"she meowed " clanwariors fight other clans and we also hunt pray"
