Prologue
A screech woke the entire camp. "Hawkwing!" Eagleclaw yowled. "Cindertail is having her kits!" Eagleclaw was pacing nervously outside the nursery as he heard his mate's horrible screeches.
"I'm coming!" Hawkwing meowed. Cindertail's screeches were getting louder and Eagleclaw was getting worried. Just as Hawkwing ran into the nursery, Eagleclaw decided he was going to go in as well. There were three kits on the ground when Eagleclaw came in, all three looked healthy. But, Cindertail wasn't looking very well.
"Take care of our kits Eagleclaw. I'm sorry that I have to go. Goodbye Eagleclaw!" Then, before Eagleclaw could say anything, the light dimmed out of Cindertail's eyes and she went limp.
"No." Eagleclaw meowed. "No, no, no, NO!" Eagleclaw yowled at the top of his lungs. He then peered over at the kits, who were looking at him with fear in their eyes.
"I guess that I will have to name you by myself," Eagleclaw murmured sadly. He went over to the first kit.
"Your name will be Bouncekit". He then turned to the second kit.
"Your name will be Whitekit". Then finally, Eagleclaw looked at the kit that killed his mate. Eagleclaw already hated this kit. It killed his mate!
"Your name will be Sagekit", Eagleclaw said finally. My least favorite name, Eagleclaw thought. Eagleclaw walked out of the nursery and looked back in the nursery to see the kit - no the monster - that killed Cindertail.
"I will never forgive you after what you did to Cindertail," Eagleclaw growled to himself through gritted teeth. Just then, a lightning strike streaked across the sky and the sound of thunder roared through the forest.
