After giving Nightkit to Shadowclan, Luna went hunting. She caught a squirrel and dragged it back to the three remaining kits and Bird.

"How did it go?" Bird asked gently. Luna dropped the squirrel and the kits scampered over to start eating it. She took a step over to the side so they couldn't hear her as well. "Fine, Applestar took him with hardly any questions. I just felt horrible because I told Nightkit I wasn't his mother anymore and I saw the sadness in his eyes. I couldn't stand it."

Bird knew that was how she would feel when she had to tell Snowkit the same thing. "Why don't you join Shadowclan?"

Luna shook her head. "No, the clans aren't a place for me. I was born a loner and I will die a loner. I just want my kits to have what I would have had if I had a choice."

"That's exactly how I feel." Bird meowed. "I think we should give Lilykit to Riverclan next. She seems like the strongest after Nightkit, she can handle rejection from her mother I think."

"No kit can take rejection from their mother." Luna mewed dejectedly. Bird watched the kits for a moment and said. "Well, I know that the Riverclan leader is at Sunningrocks right now, its right across from the river in Thunderclan territory. You could give Lilykit to Streamstar now."

Luna nodded. "Lilykit! Let's go."

Lilykit looked up in surprise and followed her mother towards Thunderclan territory. They ran across the Thunderpath and around the Thunderclan camp. Luna smelled two Thunderclan warriors and picked up Lilykit and ran even faster until she reached the river. She jumped across the stepping-stones and nearly dropped Lilykit. She barely made it across and let go of her kit's scruff. She was breathing heavily and Lilykit started to wander off. The light gray kit was stopped by a blue-gray she-cat. "What are you doing little one?"

"That's my kit." Luna growled, leaping to her paws. "Who are you?"

"My name is Streamstar." The she-cat replied calmly. "You're on Riverclan territory, so I would recommend losing the attitude unless you want to lose your ears."

Luna took a deep breath and sat down. "My name is Luna; I can't care for my kit anymore. Would you mind caring for her?"

"What would Riverclan gain by having this tiny kit?"

Luna breathed a sigh of relief. "She's one moon old. You can reteach anything she already knows. Also, I know you only have one kit in the entire clan, and he's even smaller than my kit, Lilykit. I know he's three moons old and is very sick, and I have a healthy kit that I am willing to give to your clan. Take her, please. I've heard about the clans and your clan is the best, so I want my only kit to be in Riverclan."

Streamstar nodded and led Lilykit away like Applestar had led Nightkit away. She turned and said the same thing Nightkit had said and Luna replied in the same way as before. She didn't think she could do this for Softkit. The gray and white kit reminded her too much of Fitz, but it had to be done.
