Fade is here. Sorry for the long wait... I'm sick, school sucks and my imagination is killing me... -3-

I need a bit more cats for the alliances, so ya, it won't be until the next chap... Hopefully XP.

Onto the story!

Tigerkit stared at the golden colored liquid as she tried to get the remains of the honey out of her mouth. Blackflower then shooed her out of the den because one of the elders had fever.

I wandered near the medicine cat den, just in case the bullies came back. To my surprise, a red-brown kit came to her. "Hi!-" she said "-my name's Applekit!" (I'm making her Tigerkit's friend, along with the to-be-born Mapekit.) She said in a playful way. "Can we play?" I nodded, wondering what play means.

"Okay! We'll play mouse!" she said "I'll be the mouse, while you're the hunter!" I tilted my head in confusion

"You crouch down and try to catch me."

"Oh, okay." I said. I then crouched and moved stealthily as she ran away to find a hiding spot. I padded quietly to the apprentices den where I saw her tail. I crouched down and dug a small hole in the corner where it probably is dark and shadowy. "Boo!" I said as I saw her crouching in the corner, peeking out to see if I was coming. She jumped up and her paw accidentally hit my head."OhmystarclanI'msosorry!" she said as she apologized. I have no idea if she was apologizing...

"Errr... apology accepted?" I said, still not sure if she was apologizing.

She beamed "Ohthankyouthankyouthankyou" She said, making me even more not sure if she was thanking me. 'She's fast at talking' I thought as she began laughing about finding her so early.

"Hey, what's Loserkit doing here?!" A familiar voice said behind me.

Me and Applekit turned around, and to my surprise, Flamekit was there, his green eyes glaring down at me. I shrank under his scorching gaze.

"Brother, what are you doing?! Mother and father said to ignore the praises and insults!" I cried.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. That means we have to listen to those praises and insults!"

Applekit, feeling the heavy atmosphere, decided to step between us "This isn't right! Both of you are siblings! Siblings don't fight like this!" She cried.

Flamekit glared at her, then shoved her out of the way "Applekit!" I said as I rushed to her.

"That's what you get for befriending a freak!" He said as I helped her up. Flamekit kept on blabbering about how I'm a freak. Each insult gives me more rage and lowers my confidence. "-and when I'm leader, I'll exile you and all your petty friends!" he barked.

My eyes flashed with anger and I screamed out "Exile?! You mean your going to exile our parents?!" I said, my eyes in a mocking look. His answer just gave my confidence away. "Our parents? They don't even care about you. They pity you, they never liked you. Once I exile you and you turn to them, they'll turn away from you!" He said.

After he said that, everything just sped up. Once I found myself again, I was in the nursery, sobbing with Applekit beside me. "You know-" she said "-we shouldn't be here. Flarestrike is giving birth right now..." I stared at her dumbfounded, then, a yowl erupted from behind me. I jumped and saw Blackflower with a ginger tabby, her green eyes, screaming in pain.

Two small kittens were located on her belly, suckling while Sunfur was licking them the wrong way. The last kit came out. Blackflower gently placed her beside the other kits. "There are 3 kittens Flarestrike... Two she-kits and a tom." he said gently to the queen. Flarestrike purred in response, but when she lifted her head to look at the kits, her eyes widened in horror and disgust. The first kit was a tortoiseshell with a fluffy ginger and white tail (I find it funny that two people have requested for two kits that look like Mapleshade... I adore her too).

She spat at the newly dubbed Maplekit. (If your kit looks like a DF, you automatically name them after the cat). And purred at the other two. Ginger twins.

"I'll name this one-"

Blackflower interrupted. "Wait a second!" Then he sniffed at the two twins and nudged them. None cried, nor moved. Flarestrike's eyes widened but shook it off.

"I'll name the tom Blazekit, because he looks so handsome in the sun, the she-kit's name-"

"Flarestrike..."

"-will be Sunkit, because she seems to glow-"

"Flarestrike."

"-in the sunlight. She'll get lots of toms in line to be her mat-"

"Flarestrike!"

"..." Flarestrike said nothing. She began to sob and shook with unhappiness. She curled her tail over her one surviving kit as Blackflower gently took Blazekit and Sunkit away. Flarestrike curled into a ball to make Maplekit warmer. Maplekit mewed in happiness as she drank her mother's milk with soft paws. Flarestrike licked the top of Maplekit's soft head and began to shake in sobs. Maplekit also seemed to be affected by this and gently laid paw on her mother's head. Flarestrike looked at her softly before licking her once more.

Tigerkit felt her heart tighten and her pity grow as she watched the tragic scene. 'I shouldn't be always worry about myself... There are others also getting hurt.' I thought. I turned to Applekit, who turned away from the sad scene. "Are you okay Apple? Did Flamekit hurt you?" I asked gently. "No, he didn't..." She whispered.

I knew better then to question her. Anyone would be sad after witnessing that. Suddenly, somebody came from the entrance. As I saw Rainkit and Grasskit come inside. Feeling a bit friendly, I padded up to them, sorrow mixed in my amber gaze. Grasskit turned away, but I could see a bit of shyness coming from them. Rainkit also had, but his was lighter and he didn't turn away. Rainkit opened his mouth to speak but I beat him to it. I padded a bit closer to Grasskit, wondering why he's not teasing me and when he moved his gaze to me, our noses bumped each other's. He squeaked and hopped a kit step away, while I stared at him blankly.

"Nice one, bro" Rainkit said. his voice was flat and sad. I stared at him and at his tail. He seemed to notice I was staring at his tail, but before he could keep it safe, I sprang at it. I think. Instead I crashed into him and when we stood up, all three of us, along with Applekit was laughing at my fail. I felt hot at the laughs, but I soon got used to it.

"That was hilarious!" a tiny, but weak voice said behind Applekit. My eyes widened as I dashed forward to meet a frail Maplekit. "Maplekit! How are you even doing this?! You're too weak!" I scolded her as I lead her to Flarestrike. "Well, you were born three days ago!" She said stubbornly. I felt my jaw drop along with the others. The first words that came to mind was: "What the heck Maplekit..." I thought out loud. I heard a noise come from the entrance, but my mind was still processing what Maplekit said.

"Maplekit! WHY ARE YOU OUTSIDE THE NEST AND TALKING... YOUR EYES ARE OPEN TOO!" Blackflower boomed. Flarestrike awoke by the noise, and gasped when she saw Maplekit.

"M-Maplekit? What are ya doing there? You should be here, yo-you... YOU SHOULD BE OVER HERE! YOU'RE GOING DIE FROM THE COLD!" She said, yowling in the last part. Maplekit looked down, guiltily. "Y-yesh mamah" she said in a kittish accent.

I saw my friends being carried away for sleep, as it is night time. I, too felt sleepiness sting me.

I felt my eyelids droop and Sunfur's sweet smell envelop me, but before I fell asleep, I heard a taunting voice whisper in my ear

"Watch out... Pathetickit..."

This chapter was kind of rushed... Anyway, I added the kitties for TC already... And if you should know, I added a few twists for the sent characters :3. Sorry if ya didn't want, but I have a question for Maplekitfrost.

Do you want Flarestrike to:

A)Be mean to Maplekit, but love her 2x as more as a mother loves her kit or

B)Be openly nice to Maplekit.

I hope this will be good enough for you... Criticism appreciated, but no hate... Also I have a big twist for Maplekit and Applekit since they are so damn adorable :3 Won't reveal though!(It's pretty obvious for Maplekit's twist)
