Sandstorm lay in the nursery with her kits Sparkkit, Sunkit and Foxkit. Firestar was out with a hunting party. She began to lick Foxkit's flame colored pelt. She stopped at the sound of a terrifying yowl from outside.
She stood up and slowly walked over to the entrance of the nursery. She poked her head out and looked around. RiverClan had invaded the camp. Warriors and apprentices were attacking the unwelcome cats well two other warrior, Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight stood in front of Sandstorm.
"Sandstorm get back in the nursery with your kits," Brambleclaw yowled at her. "Riverclan are attacking!" But Squirrelflight just yawned. Sandstorm tilted her head at the yawn and pulled her daughter into the nursery by the scruff. Squirrelflight was surprised by the sudden yank and let out a squeak. Sandstorm turned on her.
"Why are you relaxed like this," she hissed at her daughter. "You should be tense and fierce," Squirrelflight shrugged.
"They are no threat to us," she hissed back at her mother.
Squirrelflight turned her head when Sparkkit jumped on her tail. She picked the kit up by the scruff and set her in front of her mother. She licked Sparkkit and than looked at the other kits. There was only one.
All of a sudden Squirrelflight let out muffled yowl. She turned and Foxkit was on her tail. She turned picked her up by the scruff and set her down in front of Sandstorm with Sparkkit. She hissed at her and than glared. Sandstorm noticed and pulled Foxkit back.
"Why don't you like Foxkit?" she asked gently. But Squirrelflight couldn't answer. Brambleclaw burst into the nursery.
"Squirrelflight what are you doing in here," he yowled. "We're losing lets go," he pushed her out and that was that.
"Why doesn't Squirrelflight like me mother," squeaked Foxkit. "She's our sister but she doesn't treat Sparkkit or Sunkit like that,"
"She might treat you differently," Sandstorm meowed gently. "But she really does love you,"
Sandstorm bent over and licked her kit. She didn't know why Squirrelflight detested Foxkit so much. She guessed that it was because Foxkit was the most like Squirrelflight. She had green eyes and a blazing orange pelt.
Squirrelflight was also the more inpatient and jumpy of her two daughters. Leafpool was always quiet. Squirrelflight and Leafpool was Sandstorm and Firestar's first litter and were very special.
Foxkit was also the most impatient and jumpy. She reminded Sandstorm a lot of Squirrelflight.
Sparkkit was a normal kit. She wasn't loud and wasn't quiet. She was both. She seemed to choose whether she wanted to be difficult or not.
Sunkit was a lot like Leafpool. She was quiet and gentle. Also known as the complete opposite of Squirrelflight. Sunkit was exactly like Leafpool, the medicine cat.
Another yowl sounded from the entrance and Sandstorm whipped her head back to her kits.
"We must be quiet and patient my dears," Sandstorm meowed to her trembling kits. "Firestar will be here soon," she gathered her kits together and huddled in a corner, washing each kit behind the ears. Foxkit squirmed away and ran to the entrance.
Please let Squirrelflight learn to like Foxkit she meowed a silent prayer to StarClan.
