Sandra padded into camp carrying two mice. She dropped them on the fresh-kill pile and looked around the clearing. Gingka was talking with Kenta and Madoka. They were the only three of her friends she saw in camp. Kyoya must be out on patrol, she thought. Sandra shrugged and headed over to her friends.
"Hey, guys. What's going on?" she asked as she sat down beside Madoka.
"We were just discussing what happened earlier at the WindClan border," Gingka explained.
"What happened?" Sandra asked.
"Breezepelt started a fight with Lionblaze," Kenta replied. "He intentionally crossed the border, and challenged the patrol. He wouldn't even listen when Whitetail told him to get back on their side of the border."
"I don't even know why Onestar let him stay in WindClan after what he did. It's obvious that he's still planning something," Sandra growled. Hollyleaf's prophecy then flashed in her mind. Th darkness...could it possibly have something to do with Breezepelt?
"Well, we can't do anything about it now. We can't just go around telling a Clan leader what to do," Madoka piped up.
"Yeah, and plus I'm pretty sure WindClan still trusts Breezepelt," Kenta added.
"What makes you say that?" Madoka asked.
"He had kits with Heathertail the same day Cinderheart gave birth to her kits," Kenta answered.
"Really? How many?" Sandra asked.
"Two. One boy named Hawkkit and a girl named Ravenkit," Kenta replied.
Or is the darkness one of his kits? The name Hawkkit disturbed her since a cat in the Dark Forest was Hawkfrost. She just shook her head. No, it's fine. Just because this kit has the same name doesn't mean that he is going to be like Hawkfrost or his father.
"I'm sure Onestar will realize eventually that Breezepelt doesn't deserve the support of a Clan and exile him," Sandra meowed. Changing the subject, she added, "Have you guys seen Kyoya?"
"He was out checking the ShadowClan border with Dustpelt last I knew," Madoka answered.
"I was wondering where he went," Sandra meowed.
"Sandra! Sandra!" Sunkit suddenly came bouncing over. "Want to play?"
Sandra smiled. "Sure thing, Sunkit. I see you guys later." Sandra followed Sunkit over in front of the nursery. Sunkit grabbed a moss ball and tossed it over to her. Sandra grabbed it and tossed it back. They tossed it for awhile before Sunkit got tired and laid down. Sandra smiled and padded over to her, sitting beside her.
"Tired?" she asked.
"Yeah, but that's fine now, because when I'm a warrior I'll be able to run anywhere as if I have tireless energy! And I'll be the best fighter in the whole Clan! Even better than my father!" Sunkit boasted. "Whenever my Clan is in trouble I'll be able to save it whether it costs me my life or I come out alive."
"You'll be a great warrior," Sandra purred, nudging the young kit. "And I bet your sister will be a great medicine cat."
Sunkit nodded in agreement. "She'll be the best medicine cat that ever lived!" she exclaimed.
Sandra then spotted Kyoya come into camp at the back of Dustpelt's patrol. Sandra ducked low and motioned for Sunkit to do the same. "Enemy warrior dead ahead!"
"He's mine! He'll regret the say he stepped paw in ThunderClan territory," Sunkit whispered, playing along. Sunkit crept up behind Kyoya and leaped on top of him. "Get out of our camp, ShadowClan cat!"
Kyoya smirked and gently rolled her onto her back. "Who's going to make me, ThunderClan warrior?" he asked.
"Me!" Sandra exclaimed as she leaped on top of Kyoya, catching him by surprise. Sandra pinned him down with Sunkit to her left.
"We win!" Sunkit exclaimed, bouncing around Sandra and Kyoya, her energy obviously back.
Sandra got off Kyoya and purred with amusement. She then heard giggling. She looked to see Gingka, Kenta and Madoka all laughing at them. Kyoya clenched his teeth and growled.
"Hey, new enemy!" Sunkit whispered, her gaze fixed on the three. Sandra and Kyoya both smirked and the three huddled together.
"I'll get Kenta. Sunkit, how about you get Madoka, and, I know you'll agree to this, Kyoya get Gingka?" Sandra suggested. Sunkit and Kyoya both nodded and the group charged at the three. Gingka, Kenta and Madoka sat bolt up-right, their eyes wide.
Sunkit leaped on top of Madoka. "How dare you attack ThunderClan!" she squealed.
Sandra fought playfully with Kenta. Kyoya and Gingka fought as fierce as they could. Eventually Gingka, Kenta and Madoka all gave in.
"Alright!" Sunkit exclaimed. "I'm going to be the best warrior ThunderClan has ever known!" She puffed out her chest with pride.
"Right now, you'll go inside and take a nap with your sister," Cinderheart meowed, coming over.
"Aw! But mom! We were having fun!" Sunkit complained.
"No buts! Now head into the nursery," Cinderheart replied, nudging Sunkit away. Sandra smiled.
"We'll play later!" she called after Sunkit. Sunkit smiled and nodded with pleasure before she disappeared inside the nursery.
"That little kit has a lot of energy," Gingka commented.
"You've got to admit, it's cute," Madoka meowed, smiling.
"Hey, Sandra!" Sandra looked up to see Ivypool. "Want to come hunting with me? We can catch more when there's two of us."
"Sure! I'll see you guys later," Sandra said, nuzzling Kyoya before dashing out of camp with Ivypool.
