"Viperkit, Stop!" Hazelheart scolded her small kit. The kit looked exactly like his father, dark red fur, black paws, and playful forest green eyes. Viperkit was pinning his sister, Shadekit, to the ground. Shadekit had golden eyes and pitch black fur. Hazelheart grabbed Viperkit by the back of his neck. Her other 2 kits, Swiftkit and Diamondkit purred with amusement. Swiftkit had green eyes and black and white fur. Diamondkit had golden eyes and white fur.
"Songheart and dad are coming" Swiftkit announced. No sooner had the words left his mouth Snakefoot and Songheart entered. Songheart's eyes were wide with fear and panic.
"What's wrong" Shadekit asked. "Rowanstar wants to kill Brokenpaw!"
Hazelheart leaped up. "What!" She yowled in full shock. "Rowanstar saw Brokenpaw kill prey on our territory; he says he must be killed to prevent any more theft."
"Is Rowanstar feather brained?" Diamondkit asked. "Brokenpaw's our kin!" Hazelheart had told her kits the story about how she, Snakefoot, and Songheart had taken the 3 kits to ThunderClan. Viperkit let out a dark, threatening snarl.
"If he tries I'll shred him!"
"Now remember" Snakefoot reminded his kit. "They don't know Songheart's their father." "Because their birth went against the Warrior Code." Songheart's eyes narrowed.
"I don't care if their birth went against the will of StarClan! I won't let Rowanstar hurt any of them!"
"Calm down Songheart" Hazelheart mewed. "Rowanstar is old and senile; all the clans know he's on the last of his 9 lives. When he dies, Crowfrost will become Crowstar and he will make Ratscar his deputy. Both of them are piece loving Warriors, who would not lead the Clan into battle if theirs a solution to the problem that would cause the battle. And since Rowanstar is sick, he probably will be dead before sunrise."
Songheart sighed. "For Brokenpaw's sake Hazelheart I hope your right."
