Chapter 1

The early morning breeze blew into the den that Roseflight was laying in. It was morning, and a day after Roseflight's fur raising sight. She was still upset, and very mad at her sister and mother. The burning passion of hate for her sister, mother, and all her family except her kits and father was growing bigger and bigger, it could just burst.

A familiar scent flooded over Roseflight's nostrils and she couldn't pick it out really quickly. She wished it was BloodCloud, so she turned around and put on a huge smile and realized…..it wasn't BloodCloud. It wasn't even Bane. It was her daughters.

"Squirrel? Kala?" Roseflight asked in surprise. "Why aren't you two on patrol or something? You never are up this early unless Bane sent you on patrol, what's up?"

The two sisters padded over to their mother, Squirrel sat on the left side, Kala on the right, and they both stared at her with their red gazes. And their eyes knew more than their emotions could portray. They knew things they didn't need to know, but it was BloodCloud's fault, at least for now.

"BloodCloud told us," Squirrel meowed.

Roseflight's red eyes grew wide. "Told you what?"

"About your sister," Kala replied.

"Oh," Roseflight meowed, digging her claws into the ground at the talk of Autumnbrook.

Kala narrowed her eyes at Squirrel and Squirrel sent her younger sister a stern look. Letting out a hiss of annoyance, Kala stood up and stood in front of Roseflight and she looked determined to get a point across.

"Mother, listen here," Kala began. "We know everything about your past. We know about your mother Savannah, your sister Autumnbrook, her friends Barkfrost and Winterclaw, Nerthus, Princess, Darkfire, we know about everyone, okay? There's no hiding it. Why do we know? We listen to you! When Roseflower got in the clan we paid extra attention and learned about Darkfire, Barkfrost, and Winterclaw. We overheard some of your cries to BloodCloud last night and he told us the rest this morning. There's no hiding of what your mother did to you. It was cruel, but Squirrel and I are your daughters, we love you and we'll help you kill her and Autumnbrook, okay?"

Roseflight blinked. Kala sounded serious, and although Squirrel wasn't talking, she seemed serious too. What did BloodCloud say to them and what more did they really know? She decided not to ask, it would probably we scary to know.

"Kala, Squirrel," Roseflight replied. "I know you'll help me. But how is this a big deal?"

"You have to stop dwelling over Savannah and Autumnbrook's death before it even happens," Kala meowed. "Why worry about how you are going to kill them? Just focus on killing them when you do, okay?"

Roseflight nodded. "I got it Kala, thanks. You and Squirrel can go now."

Squirrel got up first and led her sister Kala out of the den. Roseflight sighed and plunked down into her nest. There was more to Kala's little speech to her about Savannah and Autumnbrook and she knew it! But what was it? She closed her eyes, concentrating, but nothing, the only thing that came to mind was the sound of BloodCloud's voice, saying hello, how are you this morning. It sounded real, and the scent was real too. It started to seem so real that Roseflight started to think it was. She opened her eyes and what she thought was true. There stood BloodCloud.

"Hey BloodCloud," she huffed.

"Are you mad that I told them?" BloodCloud asked.

"Well I wanted to, but why did you take the responsibility of it anyways?" Roseflight say.

"You seemed tired last night, and I knew you wanted them to know," BloodCloud meowed. "Besides, you know the speech Kala gave you?"

Roseflight nodded.

"The second part about not dwelling on Savannah and Autumnbrook's death before it happens, was my opinion. I told her to say that."

"BloodCloud, why do you care so much?" Roseflight wondered out loud.

"Because I'm your friend, Roseflight!" BloodCloud meowed. "Now come on, want to go hunting? Maybe we'll see MeadowClan again, maybe we can steal their prey or…."

Roseflight gave BloodCloud a hard look, a look of warning. This look made her eyes blaze like fire and it was a severe warning look.

"…Or we can just walk, and hunt our own prey," BloodCloud meowed.

"Much better!" Roseflight purred. "Now come on let's go!"
