"Will you please play with us?" Dustkit and his brother Rabbitkit pleaded.
"Do you want to be Unwanted?" Ashkit hissed. Iceshadow had told us to stay in the nursery and watch the younger kits while all the queens were out hunting.
"It's no fun in the nursery! Will you please play with us?" Rabbitkit pleaded.
"No." Ravenkit mewed. Dustkit and Rabbitkit began batting around a ball of moss on their own. Ashkit smirked at Ravenkit and me and mouthed, 'I told you so.' I just ignored him and watched the two kits play. It wasn't too long before leaf-bare would come, when the cats would all have to meet where the tree grow the tallest, where the four clan leader will announce the names of the Wanted kits, and give them their apprentice names, and where they will call the names of the Unwanted kits so that they can be eliminated. Dustkit hit the ball of moss and it landed in front of Snakekit or Frostkit, the two brothers looked exactly alike, I could never tell them apart. They both had snowy white fluffy fur and green eyes. The white tom just stared at the ball of moss.
"You're supposed to hit it, like this." Dustkit showed him.
"Like this?" He mewed, hitting the ball across the nursery.
"What do you think your doing!" Snowberry gaped at her kit. She glanced at both her toms, trying to figure out who was who.
"Snakekit." She growled. The other white tom began to protest but the first one silenced him with his tail.
"Sorry Snowberry, I don't know what I was thinking." He said coolly.
"You should have thought first, I have no choice but to report you to Shadowstar, Snakekit." She growled, padding away.
"Thank you so much for not saying anything!" Snakekit mewed.
"Frostkit! You got me in trouble!" mewed the tom sitting next to him.
"Okay, I'm confused. Who's who?" I asked.
"I'm Frostkit." The first kit mewed.
"But your mother just went to report Snakekit for your infraction!" Ravenkit mewed, alarmed.
"What else could I have done? Snowberry thinks I'm a perfect kit who follows the rules of the Clan, she said I might even be the medicine cat one day!" Frostkit purred.
"That still doesn't mean you can make your brother take the blame for your infraction!" I hissed.
"I know. I'll go and tell Snowberry now." Frostkit sighed.
"No! I'll go along with it. Snowberry can think that I did it." Snakekit stopped his brother from leaving the nursery.
"Are you sure that you're okay with this?" Frostkit asked, hope twinkling in his eyes.
"Yeah, who cares? It's just one infraction, I've already had so many. I'm Unwanted already anyhow." Snakekit shrugged.
"Thank you!" Frostkit purred. I padded out of the nursery and glanced around the camp. I could see Foxtail padding over to the nursery. He's probably coming to see his kits, Rainkit, Shrewkit, Fernkit, Ivykit, Sandkit and Swiftkit. He's always visiting them. My father never comes to visit me.
"Hi Tawnykit." Fuzzynose purred.
"Hi!" I mewed.
"How's things in the nursery?" he asked.
"Just fine." I told him. Fuzzynose was my older brother. I had a sister too but she was marked Unwanted when she was a kit. I padded to the camp entrance and stared out of the camp.
"Tawnykit you stay in the camp, only apprentices and warriors get to leave the camp. Kits can't leave the camp, let alone kits who are going to be marked as Unwanted." Vinepelt, a senior warrior growled.
"I wasn't planning on leaving the camp." I snapped, lashing my tail. The whole clan knows I'm going to be Unwanted!
"The ceremony isn't too far away, only two sun rises." Cloudstrike mewed. Only two sunrises? There is only two sun rises left before my brother and I must face our deaths.
