** Hollyflower is not going to tell any cat who the father of her kits is, but newly named Russetfur is certainly going to find out, so hold on to your tails until then :D :D

A/N: Please let me know if I made any mistakes so that I can fix them up accordingly, it will be very very helpful of you! :) EDIT! Apparently, I am no longer supposed to post these updated Allegiances unless I have story content on here, so, here is a short little story from Nightpaw's persepctive from right before he became Russetfur's apprentice! Enjoy.

Nightkit waited outside the nursery for Russetpaw, his heart clenching and unclenching. The beautiful she-cat padded out of the den and he smiled and sat down next to her. She purred, and he mumbled, "You made quite a catch." The ginger she-cat did not reply, only purred louder and leaned against him. He was glad to notice that they were the same size, though he was younger.

The moment shattered when Raggedstar meowed, "It's time for the patrol to leave!" The fear of her leaving for battle struck him.

"Be careful." he whispered, praying to StarClan she would be alright.

The apprentice looked into his eyes with her beautiful dark emerald eyes and replied seriously, "I will." The kit sat there for a little while longer, wondering if she would return safely. She was a good fighter, maybe the best of the apprentices, but she could be reckless and had a protector complex. If she gave her life up for another cat... It wouldn't surprise him all that much.

He watched Russetpaw follow the rest of the patrol out of camp. She glanced back at him, her eyes looking as worried as he felt. She paused to wait for Whitepaw, who could barely keep her paw still.

The patrol left the camp empty besides him, and Nightkit shivered, feeling the loneliness down to his soul. "Brother! Brother, come play!" Brightkit called happily from the mouth of the den. He turned and entered the nursery slowly, mind still otherwise occupied.

Brightkit pounced on him as he came through the entrance, tackling him to the ground and rolling him over. Acting on instinct, he used the power in his back legs to shove against his sister's stomach, throwing her off. He leaped to his paws, ready for a tussle.

Brightkit gathered herself up a little ways away, and he watched her intently, not expecting the other body to barrel into him from his other side, knocking the breath out of him. Regaining his thoughts, he saw that his brother Clawkit was the one digging his oversized claws into his side. The black furred tom bit down on his brother's right forepaw, making him yelp.

Brightkit jumped onto the ball of fur that was the tussling toms, biting and scratching, drawing the blood of whichever. "Kits!" Dawncloud commanded. "Clawkit, you know not to use your claws in a play-fight! Look at poor Nightkit's pelt!" she exclaimed disapprovingly.

Nightkit knew he had used just much tooth and claw as his brother, but said nothing. If he could get away with it, he wasn't about to argue. "Now, go on, you are getting too big for the nursery. Play outside. Nicely!"

The three of them, followed by a groggy Stumpykit, ran outside to the fresh-kill pile. "Where is e-e-everyone?" the short-tailed kit yawned, stumbling over a twig and almost falling down.

"Well, clumsy, they're out on a battle patrol." Brightkit said snottily, while Clawkit and Nightkit continued over to a small green plant in the soil. The brown tom unsheathed his claws and tore it off at the stem.

"Why didn't you stand up for me, you jerk! You were just as violent as I was!" He spat angrily.

Nightkit pawed the ground shamefully. "I didn't want Dawncloud to be mad at me..." he mewed innocently, while his brother snorted in derision.

"Whatever. You're a bad brother. I wish I was the only kit in her litter!" he growled, walking away from the others to sit by himself. Nightkit laid down by the remains of the plant, frowning. I am a bad brother, aren't I? He thought.

The four of them wandered about the empty camp, only Nightkit not moving from his spot. Near the entrance of the camp, he waited and waited. Finally, a noise made him prick his ears. Not a moment later, Raggedstar entered the camp, bloodied and limping, the patrol just behind him.

"Did we win?" Brightkit chirped excitedly from somewhere behind Nightkit. He ignored her, not even hearing the answer. He had eyes for only one cat, and she did not enter the camp with the patrol. Panic rose in him, and he turned to the closest cat, which happened to be Wetfoot.

The gray warrior saw the kit staring and look at him questioningly. "Is Russetpaw alright? Where is she?" He shrugged, not having a clue. The black furred kit dashed through the throng of warriors, terrified, looking for Foxpaw or Oakpaw or Whitepaw, anyone who might have kept track of her. Anyone who would know if she was alive or dead. His question was answered as Oakpaw and Russetpaw dragged Whitepaw into the hollow, blood-stained cobwebs over the white she-cat's eye.

The dark ginger apprentice didn't notice him standing there as she took Whitepaw to the medicine den, but he didn't care. Why do I care this much? He wondered half-heartedly, but it didn't matter. The relief that she had not joined the ranks of StarClan was too overwhelming. Thank you. He thought, looking up at the sky. Thank you.
