"We need to get rid of her sooner or later." Echosong said.

"What? Why?" Lilyheart asked.

"Because she has wings, that's not a good sign." Echosong growled quietly.

"Why is that so bad?" Lilyheart looked up at Echosong and flinched when she saw that her eyes were blood red. "Echosong, what happened to you? Are you okay? you don't look healthy. Hello? Echosong?"

"What? what were you saying? Lillyheart?" Echosong's eyes changed back to her normal green ones. "I really don't know what's happening to me. Probably just a small sickness, nothing bad." She murmured, half to herself.

"Well then, figure it out! We need our medicine cat!" Lilyheart snapped.

Dawnkit woke up. She streched her wings and looked for Lilyheart.

"Hi, Dawnkit." Lilyheart said, suprising her for a second.

"Hi Lilyheart!" Dawnkit said, then remembered something important. "What are your kits' names?"

Lilyheart smiled, "This is Dapplekit," She said, pointing to a small calico she-cat. "This is Leafkit." A brown tabby she-cat, just like Lilyheart. Then Lilyheart pointed to a brown tabby, except this one was a tom. "He's Mudkit." Dawnkit observed the kits. None of them had opened their eyes yet.

"When can I play with them?" Dawnkit asked.

Lilyheart thought for a second. "In a moon."

"But that's such a long time away!"

"Yes, but you can wait."

Dawnkit sighed. "Fine." And turned away. "And Lilyheart, when can I leave the nursery?"

It was Lilyheart's turn to sigh. "I need to ask Echosong." Dawnkit let out a low growl. She didn't like Echosong one bit. She didn't know why, it was just a feeling. Whenever she thought about Echosong, or saw her, she would growl or hiss under her breath. I wasn't personal, just... instinctive. "What's wrong?" Lilyheart asked.

"Nothing." Dawnkit muttered and went to sleep, the only comfort she had.

ONE MOON LATER:

"Dawnkit! Dawnkit!" Dapplekit yowled. "Wanna play with us?" Dawnkit frowned. They asked this question everyday. How could she say she couldn't? they hadn't realized what her wings meant. and while they wanted to play, they wanted outside. They were a moon old, but she couldn't go outside. it sickened her soul thinking about it.

"Not now.." Dawnkit murmered, her sadness evident enough

"Why not?" Asked Mudkit.

"Uh..." Dawnkit tried to come up with an excuse. One that they would fall for. "I'm... Sick! Yeah, I'm sick. Echosong said I have to stay in the nursery for a week." Dawnkit said, trying not to spit Echosong's name.

"Oh. Want to play with us in a week?" Leafkit asked.

"Uhrm... Sure.." Dawnkit said uncertainly.
"Great!" Mudkit said, "You can finally play with us!" Dawnkit sighed, how could she play with them, without the clan finding out? The three kits ran outside, leaving Dawnkit alone with a sleeping Lilyheart and Mistkit.

"If only I didn't have these wings!" She spat. "I could live a normal life! I could play with the other kits, and Silvermist and Mistkit and Wishkit would like me!" But a tiny voice in her head argued with her. But think about how different your life would be? would you really be the same cat as you are now?
