II- Dovewing

"Spottedkit and Amberkit disappeared!" She mournfully told Bumblestripe.

"What?! We have to tell Bramblestar to send extra patrols for a look out for them!" Bumblestripe dashed off in the direction of Bramblestar's den. A moment later, he reappeared with Bramblestar behind him.

"Tell me what happened." Bramblestar mewed facing Dovewing.

"Last night, I heard them whispering in their nests about going somewhere at dawn. This morning, when I woke up, they were gone! I searched in every part of the camp, even Jafeather's den, but I found no trace of their scent!" Dovewing explained.

"Last night rained very heavily, it would be quite impossible to find their scent. Is Silverkit missing?" He queered.

"No." Dovewing replied.

They heard a rustling sound behind them and then Cinderheart appeared with her two kits, Sparklekit and Rainkit behind her.

"What's all this noise? Can't any cat get some sleep here? Have you ever heard of 'peace and quite'?" She mewed groggily. But when her gaze fell on Bramblestar, she dipped her head apologetically.

"I apologize for being so harsh. What's happened here?" She meowed.

"Amberkit and Spottedkit are missing, but Silverkit's still in her nest!" Dovewing mewed in a rush. Sparklekit gasped.

"Mother, what if they get caught by the foxes?" Rainkit whispered. Cinderheart bent down to lick the frightened face.

"I'm sure they'll be fine, wherever they are." She mewed gently.

"I'll make an announcement, and send patrols to search by the border markers and around the camp." He mewed. He turned around and padded toward Brackenfur, who was sharing tongues with Sorreltail. When Dovewing turned around, Cinderheart was still staring at her, jaws gapped. Dovewing wanted to go out there herself to search for her beloved kits but she knew it was best to stay in camp.

"Dovewing, you must have had a shock." Bumblestripe mewed soothingly.

"Why not go see Jayfeather for some poppy seeds?" Dovewing hesitated, then quietly padded in the direction of the medicine den. When she entered, Jayfeather was still curled up in his nest, but awake.

"I heard that Amberkit and Spottedkit went missing. Right now isn't the time to panic. The best you can do is take a break and have a rest." Dovewing was surprised by Jayfeather's calm and wise words.

"Here, take these." He used his paw to push the bundle of Poppy Seeds wrapped up by a leaf. She licked it up and padded back into the nursery. Her jaws gapped in a yawn and soon enough, she was curled up in her nest, asleep.
