Kinkkit limped behind swiftkit, back towards the nursery. 'Stupid leg,' he grumbled silently, 'why did I have to born like this.'

Swiftkit laid down into their nest, littlekit next, and kinkkit, as always, last. Kinkkit turned his head away from them, Leopardnose licked the top of their heads. Their mother was always the best she-cat they know, nothing will change that.

As kinkkit closed his eyes, he saw the stars shining above through the roof.


Kinkkit opened his eyes to a new place; he didn't recognize it at all. The trees loomed above, their branches far out of reach of his tiny paws far into the dark sky above.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted movement. As he turned to see whoever it was, a dark red tabby she-cat came halfway out of a bush. Her movement was ungraceful and not very coordinated.

Kinkkit looked her in the eye, they were an emerald green color, much like his and torn's eyes.

"Welcome Kinkkit." The dark red she-cat meowed.

Kinkkit stepped back. "H-hello?"

The she chuckled, before stepping the rest of the way out. Kinkkit noticed that she had a missing hind leg.

"Oh, how impolite of me, my name is redstorm." She meowed.

Kinkkit couldn't believe this, she was talking to him in a way no other cat back in the hillclan camp. "Where am I?"

"you are in my home," Redstorm answered, "well, our home."

"Our?"

"Me and my colleagues." Redstorm answered.

Kinkkit looked around. "Where do you sleep?"

"We don't need to sleep when we are dead." Redstorm answered.

"Am I in starclan?"

No response, redstorm had disappeared from sight.

And soon after, so did that new place.


A/N: no i am not forgetting the kit who is the son of echostream and the cat in the shadows. (I'm not denying those who already may know). I do though would like to know who you think the father of crowfoot and the other kit is. And who that kit is, it would be interesting to see who you guys think it is.
