Chapter 12: Introduction

Tornpelt was running toward the border as fast as he could. He knew that Twistedpaw had kitted because he was at the border listening to her wails. He winced every time. He longed to see the kits. Once he arrived at the border, he waited. Soon after he arrived, Twistedpaw was carrying the kits on her back. It had been two days since she had kitted. He saw the kits and started to groom them one by one.

"What are their names?" Tornpelt asked. Twistedpaw pointed at a silver she-cat with black markings.

"This is Frostkit." she meowed "Frostkit, this is your father, Tornpelt."

"Hi Tornpelt!" The tiny kit meowed.

"Hello, young one." Tornpelt felt so happy that he could jump over the moon!.

"This one is Bellakit," Twistedpaw meowed pointing to a she-cat with the same eyes as her mother.

"She has your eyes!" Tornpelt meowed happily.

"Bellakit, this is your father, Tornpelt."

"Hi, Tornpelt." The tiny kit meowed with a shaky voice. Tornpelt could tell that the kit was shy.

"No need to be shy, for I shall always protect you and your siblings."

"This one is Tornkit, named after his father."

"Hello my son." Tornpelt meowed

"And for my firstborn, Bearkit." She meowed pointing to the last kit that pounced on her tail.

"He looks strong, like his mother." Tornpelt purred

"Hi Tornpelt" the kit meowed as he nipped at Tornpelt's paw.

"A little feisty I see!" Tornpelt meowed as Twistedpaw and Tornpelt giggled.

"Tornpelt." Twistedpaw meowed. "I was kicked out of my clan. I was wondering-"

"No need to ask." Tornpelt meowed, cutting her off. "I'm sure that Smallstar could find you a place with me. Forever"

"I'll like that. Your clan will be perfect for our kits." She Smiled at him and headed to JaggedClan where the two cats, destined to be together, would spend the rest of their lives.
