Chapter Four
Thornkit walked into the warriors' den and looked around, wondering which one was Beenest. He saw Rosefur rush over to a dark tabby tom and nuzzle his shoulder. That must be Beenest, he thought. He heard his parents talking.
"Did you hear the big news?"
"No, I've been stuck in the nursery for three moons taking care of our kits."
So he is Beenest! Thornkit thought.
"So what's the news?"
"Hollyflower is having Icelake's kits! She'll be moving into the nursery in a quarter moon."
"Are you our father?" Berrykit asked, interrupting their parents' chatter.
"Hush! I'm so sorry, Beenest, this is their first time out of the nursery."
"It's quite alright. I admire inquisitive kits."
