Darkpool

The wild-eyed she-cat glared at Leafpool. Crowstar stepped in front of his mate, Silvermoon swepped her kits up with her tail. Sleekflight wrapped his tail around Wolfwillow's back and growled at the intruder. Darkpool stared in horror as Nightcloud approached Leafstorm.

"Hello Leafstorm," Nightcloud purred.

"How do you know my son's name?" Leafpool snarled.

Nightcloud flicked her tail and moved onto Silvermoon. Darkpool watched as the crazy cat approached her sister's kits.

"Why, I was at the gathering the night your precious kits were announced," she replied.

Unaware of the danger, Crowkit bounced up to smell the newcomer's fur. Crowstar flexed his claws into the ground as Nightcloud leaned down.

"I was right!" Leafstorm exclaimed.

Darkpool turned to her brother, " Why didn't you tell any cat? "

"I didn't think that Nightcloud was stupid enough to come to a gathering again! But I guess I was wrong."

Darkpool shook her head and faced Nightcloud again. Nightcloud was sniffing Silvermoon.

"You have grown up since the last time I saw you."

Shadeclaw growled and flexed his claws. Moonkit, Crowkit, and Whisperkit bounced out from behind Silvermoon. The whole clan held their breath as Nightcloud padded up to Wolfwillow. The pregnant queen heaved herself to her paws and glared at the jet black she-cat.

"Why hello!" Nightcloud silky meowed.

Sleekflight

Sleekflight curled his tail around his mate's back even more.

"Who is this Sleekflight?" Nightcloud purred.

" None of your business! " Sleekflight hissed.

Wolfwillow bared her teeth as Nightcloud sat down and started grooming herself.

"Go eat crow-food you piece of fox-doug!" Leafpool snarled.

The pretty tabby she-cat was only heartbeats away from tearing Nightcloud's throat out.

*Why is she even here?* Sleekflight wondered.

"Why are you even here?" Darkpool asked, echoing her brother's thoughts.

Nightcloud paused from her washing,

"Because some cat didn't keep his end of the deal. So now I must do what I promised."

Nightcloud then launched herself at Whisperkit. She tore the kits throat out and watched in satisfaction of the kit dieing. Wolfwillow buried her face into Sleekflight's neck. The whole clan watched in disbelief when Nightcloud sat down again and began washing the blood off her paws. Breezepelt launched himself at his mother. He took her by the throat and the she-cat withered in pain.

"You fools!" She croaked. "I had help! There is a traitor among you!" Then Nightcloud took one last breath and died.

Silvermoon

Silvermoon wailed in grief. She just got back from burying her kit.

'there's a traitor among you '

Silvermoon shivered at Nightcloud's last words and wondered who could be the traitor. Crowkit and Moonkit stood by their mother.

"Mom?" Crowkit meowed.

Silvermoon turned to her remaining kits, " Yes Crow? "

"I miss Whisperkit!" She wailed.

" Why did we have to put her in the ground? " Moonkit asked.

Silvermoon's heart broke, " She had to go to Starclan. "

"Why did Starclan take her? She's just a kit like us!" Moonkit wondered.

"Sometimes Starclan takes kits, no one knows why. But up there they are cared for and loved," Silvermoon soothed.

Moonkit nodded and stared out the nursery by Crowkit.

Just then a storm broke, as if Starclan itself was mourning the loss of Whisperkit.
