Chapter 2
Lilykit crouched down her blue eyes narrowing as she focused on her prey. She then pounced on it her claws digging in. "Hey! That was a perfect hunter's crouch, but that hurts!"
Lilykit looked up at Stormheart and purred. "Mama taught me while we were out in the forest! I wanted to show you so you's know I'm ready when I'm your apprentice!" She said happily. Stormheart took his tail away from her and flicked it at her gray ears.
"Well I'm glad. I need a strong apprentice that doesn't have her head in the stars." Lilykit purred happily. "Of course I don't! StarClan can't do anything for any of us that's good!" She nuzzled into his long fur. She thought of the Clan deputy as a father figure since Eagleclaw betrayed her mother
"Good. You actually have a good thought process." Stormheart praised making her feel warm inside. "Now you better go get something from the fresh kill pile with Lionkit. You only have today to play with him before he becomes an apprentice."
Lilykit sighed. She was already four moons old but Silverwing's kits were to be made warrior apprentices today. She would miss her friends. Blossomfang was in the nursery now nursing Ravenshade's kits that were only a few days old, Flamekit, a ginger tabby she-cat and Duskkit, the mirror image of his father. They had two other kits from a previous litter and were the eldest apprentices
Lilykit couldn't help but growl as Sageleaf squeezed out of the nursery heavy with Eagleclaw's kits. She hadn't been a warrior a moon when she declared she as excepting his kits.
Fallowsong was outraged and yelled at her former mate. After that, her mother stayed away from the nursery and took on her warrior duties. Lilykit ended up sleeping with Blossomfang before her kits were born then Silverwing.
Sageleaf seemed to throw the fact that she was with Eagleclaw in her mother's face. Lilykit turned away from her as Sageleaf called for her and stomped over to Lionkit and Featherkit. They were sharing a squirrel.
"Hey there! You want to join us?" Featherkit asked happily. Lionkit was the only one who knew Lilykit was very angry. "Yes that would be nice." Lilykit said and sat with them.
"Um... we're going to be made apprentices today." Lionkit said gently. "I know! Stormheart told me..." Lilykit muttered through a mouthful of squirrel.
"I'll teach you everything I learn Lilykit. You're a great friend after all." Lionkit smiled at her warmly. "Me too! I hope I get Ravenshade as a mentor! He's so fun to play with!" Featherkit said happily.
Lilykit sighed then her ears flattened hearing Eagleclaw yowl her name in annoyance. "Leave me alone..." she muttered. Lionkit and Featherkit looked at each other then the three hurried up to finish the squirrel. "Thank StarClan for this wonderful meal." Featherkit mumbled
Lilykit scowled then flinched hearing Eagleclaw yowl at her again. Her paws trembled from anger and sadness. "I'll come with you." She looked at Lionkit in surprise. "Come on. They'll cause a scene if you don't go to them. But I wouldn't let you go alone."
Lilykit nodded feeling warmth for her friend then the two went over to the angry looking part. "Why didn't you answer Sageleaf when she called on you?! What if it was an emergency huh?!" Eagleclaw snapped.
"I don't care what happens to your precious mate foxheart! You betrayed mama, I want nothing to do with either of you!" Lilykit growled. "I am your father Lilykit! You will listen to me and Sageleaf!"
Lilykit couldn't believe her ears. "You are not my father! You lost that when you choose to be mates with her when you were still with Fallowsong! I hate you!" She flinched when she felt claws on her side. Sageleaf just clawed her and made her bleed!
"What do you think you're doing to my kit!" Fallowsong yowled and raced over. She had just come back from a border patrol. "Get away from her!" She sniffed her daughter's pelt smelling blood. Her eyes grew very dark and she glared at Sageleaf. "You monster!" She lashed at the pregnant queen catching her face and even her eye.
"My eye!" Sageleaf wailed and rubbed it. Eagleclaw growled and pinned Fallowsong down. "How dare you hurt my mate! She's expecting kits!" Fallowsong snarled. "She hurt my kit! She deserves worse than that!"
"What is the meaning of this?" Treestar walked over to them calmly while Honeyflower and Tansypaw hurried over. Fallowsong pushed Eagleclaw away and went to her kit wrapping her fluffy tail around her fluffy kit snarling in anger protecting her kit from Eagleclaw and Sageleaf.
Tansypaw checked out his sister while Honeyflower tried to check out Lilykit. "It's ok Fallowsong. I won't hurt her." She said gently. Treestar remained calm. "I'd like to speak to Lilykit and Lionkit alone."
Lilykit had forgotten about her friend. He was still in the same spot, but was shaking his eyes wide with fear.
Honeyflower finally got to tend to Lilykit's scratches and put a little marigold on them making Lilykit squirm as it stung.
"Come along little ones." Treestar said and led the two kits to her den.
"Now Lionkit... I understand what happened." Treestar murmured as Lionkit explained all that happened. "Sageleaf was way out of line hurting a kit like that. Fallowsong was only protecting her kit..."
Lilykit looked down at the ground. She was glad that Treestar seemed to believe them, but she knew that her mother had to be punished.
"Alright. Lilykit, you won't be protected in the nursery without Silverwing there and Blossomfang is too busy with her kits. I won't ask your mother to go back to the nursery. So I've decided that you will sleep with me in my den from now on." Treestar told her.
Lilykit's eyes widened while Lionkit gasped. "Really?" Treestar nodded. "I want you to be safe." Lionkit nudged her with his white muzzle. "That's such an honor Lilykit!" He purred his warm amber eyes glowing proudly
"Thank you Treestar!" Lilykit dipped her head. "Now for your mother... her punishment will be minor. She will help the medicine cats collect herbs and moss for a few days." Treestar murmured
Lilykit nodded happily and went over to the leader nuzzling into her soft pelt. "Thank you so much!" Treestar smiled and licked the top of her head affectionately. Lillykit noticed a very small flash of sadness in her eyes, but it was gone so fast, she thought she imagined this whole thing.
Lilykit purred and looked at her friend happily. She couldn't believe that the leader was protecting her now! She couldn't be happier!
