Royaldandelion took her kits and went to the nursery to let them sleep. They cuddled up to her and fell asleep, she looked around trying to fall asleep, finally fell asleep in her moss bed. She woke up next to her kits, they were still asleep so she continued to lay down next to her kits. Cliffstar padded in the nursery with two pieces of prey in her jaw, she put a small razorbill in front of her while she sat next to her eating a scrawny vole. Cliffstar meowed " Congratulations on the kits, but sorry for the loss of your mate."
Royaldandelion meowed " Thankyou, and yes, the loss of him is sad, but everything will still be ok."
Cliffstar nodded, they continued to chat a bit, then after Cliffstar was done with her vole she went back to her den. Royaldandelion felt a guilt feeling flood threw her remembering what she would have to do eventually. Night fell upon the clan, the last patrols were heading out, Royaldandelion thought to herself, " What if I start with Oakclan."
She knew Oakclan was the most vulnerable clan, only few cats were strong and those cats were still quite weak due to many sicknesses bringing them down even after getting over it. She snuck out of the nursery after making sure the kits stayed asleep, as she padded out into the clearing and towards the camp exit, Snakecoat ran into the clearing holding a large cat, they pannted as they were rushed to the medicine den. Snakecoat meowed quickly " Get back to the nursery."
She did as she was told and padded back to the nursery, her kits had awakened so she layed by them. She felt a feeling of fear prickle through her fur remembering the cat being carried, blood was splattered on their fur from all the bleeding. Another cat was rushed in camp, they were limping but Spidercloud and Horrnetfoot where side by side of him, helping him each step. Royaldandelion saw Cliffstar pad out of her den, she went in the medicine den with everyone else. Royaldandelion looked down at her two kits, they were finally asleep once again. Royaldandelion went to sleep knowing that the next day would be the first day of greenleaf. Her and her kits would finally have enough to eat with no chance of green cough, or even worse black cough. When she woke up, she saw the she-cat from last night with three small kits. One looked like a leopard, one looked like a lion, and one was a normal persian cat. The lion looked as if their coat was made of fire, the main was already starting to grow. The leopard was flame colored as well, they instead had more sleek fur, The small persian cat was gray and white, they were very fluffy. Royaldandelion padded over to the exit, her kits were once again sleeping. Snakecoat padded over and meowed " Royaldandelion you have to stay with the kits, go back to the nursery or get some fresh kill from the fresh kill pile."
She nodded, she went to the freshkill pile, then back to the nursery after grabbing a piece of prey. She then saw a pink furred cat reeking of fire, Royaldandelion hissed " Who are you! Whoever you are, get away from my kits!"
The pink cat looked around, then back at her, she then sprinted away. She saw a weird mark on Smallkit, so she took Smallkit to the medicine den. She wondered how the red mark on the side of the kit's torso got there. Mintberry looked at the mark, his eyes flew wide as he muttered " It's a mark from the darkforest. Whatever you do, don't tell anyone! Not even the leader, no kit deserves this mark."
She nodded and padded away, she didn't know what to feel because her mate was a dark forest cat, she also wondered why Sirenkit didn't get one. She thought to herself " Maybe she ran away before she could give her the mark."
She fell asleep and saw her mate arguing with the pink cat with black and red feathered wings. Coalclaw hissed " You aren't even a dark forest cat!"
The pink cat meowed calmly, " Nor am I a star clan cat."
Coalclaw was about to pounce, but suddenly the she-cat stomped her giant paw on the ground, Coalclaw sat down and the pink cat hissed " You forget who put everyone in star clan and the dark forest. I control all cats with my paws, have you forgotten?"
Coalclaw shook his head and muttered " No, sorry Sophie-d-e-i."
The two cats look over, Coalclaw meowed " Hello Royaldandelion! How are the kits doing?"
Royaldandelion meowed " Fine, but why didn't Sirenkit get the dark forest mark?"
Coalclaw meowed " I don't know, ask her."
He pointed his tail at the large pink cat with wings going by Sophiedei. Sophiedei looked around frantically, Royaldandelion meowed " Why didn't Sirenkit get the mark?"
Sophiedei meowed " That is not something I may tell you, you will see in the future."
Moons later, Smallkit meowed, jumping up and down, " Wake up mom! It's almost time for us to be apprentices!"
Royaldandelion got up, she meowed after looking around " Where is your sister?"
Smallkit meowed, rolling her eyes " At the elders den giving the elders some fresh kill."
Royaldandelion meowed " Ok, go get your sister."
Smallkit ran to the elders den, she saw Sirenkit handing Whitestream and Fawnheart some fresh kill, Smallkit ran over and pawed the prey out of the elders jaws. Sirenkit's eyes went wide as Fawnheart hissed
" Smallkit! Again?"
Smallkit knew she needed to be as evil as her father, so she meowed pitifully, " Sorry, I thought I saw maggots in them. I will get you some new prey instead."
Whitestream meowed " How nice of you!"
Sirenkit meowed, " I don't have a good feeling about this."
Fawnheart meowed " I will eat mind first, just in case."
Smallkit came back with two voles, she set them down in front of them and padded away. Fawnheart took a bite, just as she took the bite Sirenkit realized that Smallkit had stuffed the prey up with death berries. Sirenkit yowled " Wait no! Don't eat it!"
Fawnheart had already swallowed the piece of prey, she then fell to the ground. Sirenkit meowed frantically
" Stay here! I will get the medicine cat!"
Whitestream tried to stay calm, but she couldn't hold back tears as her friend suffered. Sirenkit ran back with Mintberry, but it was too late. She had taken too long to get Mintberry. Sirenkit cried as she laid next to the limp body of her friend. Mintberry meowed " Go back to the nursery Sirenkit, I will go to the leader to tell her."
Sirenkit padded back to the nursery, she heard Smallkit and Royaldandelion talking, Smallkit meowed " I want to help! I want to do as dad wants!"
Royaldandelion meowed " Fine, we will attack our clan tonight. Come with me, we just need to get fire to burn down camp."
Sirenkit ran to the leader's den as fast as her small legs could go, she saw Cliffstar and meowed " Mom and Smallkit are going to burn down camp!"
Cliffclan's eyes went wide. Cliffstar started ordering cats to take kits and the queen out of camp, they took Mintberry out of camp with all his herbs as well, as warriors were running around getting as many things as possible, Royaldandelion and Smallkit came back with two small sticks with fire, they threw it in camp and a big fire arose.
