(A/N: Okay, I'm going to be bad and advertise here. I've recently started a new story over on Fictionpress called Broken, and it would mean a lot to me if you'd take a look at it. There is a link to the story on my profile here. It would take maybe three seconds of your time to get to. Thank you! Now on with the (horrible) story...)

Chapter 37 (but labelled #34)

Back to the Clan

"Ashkit, what are you doing here?" Starpaw asked. She didn't see any reason for him to be there right then, and she couldn't help but feel scared, even though Ashkit had not done anything wrong up to this point. The narrator thought that he and Starpaw were good friends.

"I'm taking a kit," Ashkit shrugged, He grabbed Tigerkit and began to walk away. "You rejected me, so now I'm going to get my revenge on you by raising your kit to be evil!" Apparently Ashkit had forgotten that Starpaw had not rejected him. He had fallen in love with Hawkfrost. He had rejected her.

"Gasp! No!" the Clan said. They couldn't believe Ashkit would do such a thing!

"Not if I can help it!" DaFluffykit roared, flying toward Ashkit with outstretched claws. "You're not taking my brother alive!"

All the cats in the Clan, including Starpaw and Jazzstar, watched in amazement as the little fluffy kit began to attack Ashkit. Apparently ThunderClan did nothing to help the newborn kit. They just let him fight the now evil Ashkit all by himself. Somehow, DaFluffykit managed to scratch Ashkit hard enough to make him bleed, but the gray tom was still able to drag Tigerkit away. DaFluffykit fell down and began to cry.

"It's okay," Starpaw and Jazzstar said, trying to comfort the kit, whom they did nothing to help. "I'm sure he'll get back to us eventually. I mean, he is your brother, so if he's anything like you he'll be a good fighter."

But DaFluffykit wailed loudly, which was perfectly reasonable since he had tried to save Tigerkit all by himself because ThunderClan was too useless to stop Ashkit and rescue Starpaw's son. Starpaw and Jazzstar didn't even seem that concerned that one of their sons was gone. If it had been any other queen who had lost a kit, she'd have stopped at nothing to save him. Not Starpaw, apparently. DaFluffykit wailed so loudly it sounded like a trumpet, and wild cats totally know what that is. He cried so loudly a bunch of cats came to see what was wrong. Among them was...Firestar!

(A/N: Really? Is ThunderClan totally useless? Let's bring back the ThunderClan that was around when Frostfur's kits went missing. They weren't this careless/oblivious/useless back then!)
