It went from bad to worse.

...

Tawnykit knew something was wrong the moment she woke up. She could hear the murmurs of her clanmates.

She pushed to the nursery entrance with Mistykit, Runningkit, and Sweetkit.

Rainfeather and Flashpaw had dragged a small gray and white body from their den. It was Snowpaw.

"We tried Sunfur. We're sorry." Rainfeather whispered.

Sunfur pressed closer to Smallfire and pulled Flowerpaw to her.

Tawnykit's head spun. Was Snowpaw the worst of the sick cats?

"Is everyone else okay?" Cloudstar asked Rainfeather.

Rainfeather shook her head. "No. Whitekit's near death, and Brightpelt and Crowkit aren't much better."

Tawnykit gasped and ran back into the nursery.

...

Tawnykit shifted around in her nest that night, too worried to sleep. Skypelt continuously left the den to check on Whitekit.

Tawnykit couldn't stay awake any longer. She pulled against Runningkit and fell asleep.
