Yellowkit had just opened her eyes. She poked around the nursery, trying to see everything at once. Her eyes landed on her brother and sister who still lay on their beds of fresh wet moss, eyes still closed. She turned away for a moment and sat down to think, seeing as she didn't have anything else to do. Where is everyone? Where is my mother? What is her name? Do I look like her? Will my father come to see me? What is my name, anyway?
While Yellowkit thought, Toadkit and Graykit had both opened their eyes. They too started to sniff around and eventually sat down behind Yellowkit, startling her.
"Hiya! Who wants to go explore what's outside the nursery?" Toadkit meowed with a mischievous smile. His sisters shot each other unsure glances, but after a moment of thought, Yellowkit said, "Let's go! I just HAVE to know what's outside these walls!" And with that, the pair bounded out of the back entrance to the nursery, leaving the youngest kit, Graykit, alone.
Many new scents emanated from a stone den nearby (that happened to be the medicine cat's den), drawing Yellowkit and her adventuring companion inside. "No cat here! Want to see what's in the back?" Yellowkit questioned quietly. Then, without waiting for an answer, she snuck to the back of the den, where the herbs were stored neatly in stacks by scent. Yellowkit poked through the herbs while Toadkit did the same on the other side of the storage den. Opening her mouth to smell the herbs better, Yellowkit breathed in two poppy seeds without noticing! She sneezed and then said, "I'm feeling kind of sleepy. Do you want to go back with me?" Before Toadkit could even open his mouth to answer, Yellowkit passed out right there on the cold stone floor.
