Robinkit thought she couldn't be more confused. She was, as it turned out, wrong. Never had she felt more confused then when Cedarkit didn't want to play with her, and she'd thought she'd never understand less, and it seemed to be true. That is, until her mother sat her down and told her something shocking.


The place Cedarkit had grown up wasn't home. It was surprising to learn, and even more surprising was that none of the older cats would tell the kits anything besides the fact that "The old camp was destroyed", or "We shouldn't have stayed so long". Nothing that really soothed the curiosity bubbling up inside the young she-cat.

And now they were walking.

Cedarkit knew she was almost old enough to be an apprentice. Frankly, it was obvious. She reached her mother's shoulder already, just barely smaller than her brother, though still a mouselength above Robinkit, something Cedarkit liked to remind her of, much to the younger's dismay.

The aforementioned tabby bumped against Cedarkit's side. The larger kit nuzzled her friend in a warm greeting. "Hey lil' feathers. How's it going?" Cedarkit mewed affectionately. Robinkit snickered at the pet name. "I'm good!" She squeaked. "That's nice." Cedarkit giggled as Robinkit hopped excitedly on three paws. Though Cedarkit couldn't tell her expression, or posture, she knew by the tone her friend was happy.

"Kay! See ya later Twiggy!" Robinkit mewed, bounding away as fast as she could on her three awkward paws. Cedarkit sighed. Robinkit had sleek, soft fur, and, as she'd heard others put it, slim forepaws, and muscular hind legs, making her, "Perfect for hunting and running". Or, at least, she would be, if one of her hind paws didn't curve under, the pad facing the sky, and the top dragging the ground.

Cedarkit huffed. The greenleaf sun was beating, and her dark pelt didn't help matters. A golden tom slid in next to her, a strange scent coming off of his pelt. She wrinkled her nose. "Sunkit, what have you been rolling in this time?" She mewed jokingly. "Uh.. I-I uh ..I saw a flower I thought Rosekit would like.." Sunkit stammered.

Cedarkit laughed. "Ya know, one day she's gonna be an apprentice, and you'll still be a kit."

Sunkit grumbled, and padded away.


Robinkit yawned. All the cats had walked, and walked, and walked. It had been ages since they'd left, and Robinkit's paws were stinging. All she wanted was for her mother to carry her, but the black she-cat was busy assisting an injured apprentice who seemed to have trouble walking.

Suddenly, the tabby heard several loud cries from the front of the crowd. Robinkit pushed between the paws of the larger cats, to see a distraught Sunkit, his mother holding him down, as half the crowd moved away. What's going on?

"No! ROSEKIT!" Sunkit cried out. Rosekit was on the side of cats peeling away from the rest of the crowd, a sad expression on her face.

Robinkit was confused, and was about to open her mouth, as a fluffy tail was shoved into her mouth.


Cedarkit frowned. The walking was finally over, thank starclan, but she still had questions. Questions that only intensified as the older cats rebuilt the camp around her. Where did all those cats go? Where were they, even? She and the other kits were lying in the shade so as to not disturb the warriors.

Robinkit was asleep, Ravenkit was... Staring into space, and Sunkit was crying.

Cedarkit herself was so focused on her own questions, that she didn't notice as Robinkit's mother padded towards them.

When she did notice, the black she-cat was already caught up in a tale of what had happened here, as Cedarkit was slowly lulled to sleep.


Okay so finally new chapter! Thanks for all the nice reviews

Anyway, what Slimtail told Cedarkit was about why they left the old camp.

I was lazy, so here's a brief summary:

Basically, there were two clans, cloudclan and leafclan

After a storm destroyed both camps, the two clans moved into a temporary camp at a construction site. They stayed a few moons too many however, and had to postpone moving back for a multitude of reasons.

The group that split off was leafclan, Robinkit and Cedarkit live in cloudclan
