It was still dark out when Poppycurl was woken by a loud yowl. She bolted upright in surprise, thinking it had been Cloudscar, who was the guard for the night, to yowl. But when she exited the leader's den in a sleepy hurry, there were no attacking cats to meet. Just a very distressed-looking Sunstorm.
"Sunstorm, what's wrong?" asked a concerned Braveheart. The queen met his gaze with frantic green eyes.
"The kits! My kits have been stolen!" she cried. This caused every cats' fur to ruffle a bit. Kits were very precious to a clan, as they were future warriors. Stealing them was against the warrior code, too.
Passionpatch went to investigate with Whitethorn and Braveheart at his side. Meanwhile, Poppycurl approached Sunstorm. Maybe she could calm the queen.
"Ve~, don't worry, Sunstorm. I'm sure they are safe, and we'll find them soon. It was probably just SunClan." She mewed, resting her tail tip on Sunstorm's shoulder.
The white and ginger cat clawed at the ground anxiously, "But that means they're in the paws of those fox-hearts! And you've seen how Willowfang is!"
Poppycurl suppressed a shudder at the thought of the SunClan she-cat. Willowfang was one of Winterstep's sisters. But unlike the other, she was plain mean and scary. Even Winterstep himself feared her at times. Then the thought of Willowfang leering at Sunstorm's defenseless kits flashed into Poppycurl's mind. No, that was something she didn't want to think about.
Suddenly, Passionpatch burst back into the clearing. Stonestar looked to him for an explanation.
"Fox." He meowed with a hopeless look.
Poppycurl felt her tail drop as Sunstorm rushed up to Passionpatch. Braveheart and Whitethorn were emerging as well.
Sunstorm looked at them desperately, "It isn't so."
Braveheart shook his head sadly, not answering. The entire clan was silent as Sunstorm let out a sorrowful cry. Every cat knew that once a fox stole kits, they would never be returned. Foxes seemed to fancy the taste of cat, and had no problem with small portions.
"Alright everyone, back to your dens. It is best to let Sunstorm and Braveheart mourn in peace." Stonestar meowed. Obeying, the warriors turned away from the two with sympathetic gazes.
Poppycurl padded up to the leader, "Ve~, I can only imagine the pain Sunstorm is going through. Just a few sunrises ago, she was talking about how her kits would be fine warriors."
"Yes, it is saddening, that is true. But it is best to move on and prepare for anything else. Come along now, the sun has yet to rise." Stonestar mewed, leading to their den. Poppycurl followed a bit more slowly.

A/N: La, la, la, la, la~! I know, this chapter was shorter than a fruit fly's lifespan (nerd), but it is that way for a purpose. Also, it was the same fox that chased Frostpaw.
Anyway, I am asking that you guys help with choosing the names for Finpool's kits (yes, she has kits). Here are the ones I've picked out so far:
Larchkit
Brindlekit
Creekkit
Echokit
Mottlekit
Please pick out of these ONLY. You can pick up to 2, since she has 2 kits. No, I have not yet decided on the genders, so you guys can feel free to do that, too. Yes, I'm lazy. ( = w = )
