Here is the new chapter. Told you I update fast.

I remember taking my first breaths.

There was no color in the world yet, but I felt like there was. For there was nothing to be seen, but at the same time, everything seemed crystal clear.

"Hawkkit!" I heard. "Come on!"

"Her eyes are not yet open, Ravenkit," My mother purred. "They will be soon."

I snuggled closer to her in my nest.

Yes, soon.

I don't remember when I saw the world as it was for the first time.

But gradually, I opened my eyes.

Just in time to see a flash of sunlight blind them. I turned away.

"Hawkkit! Finally!" Ravenkit squeaked excitedly. "Let's go outside! I've been stuck in this place for forever."

"Okay, okay," I grumbled. "Let's go."

We padded out the camp entrance and stared out into the middle of the AirClan camp. There were cats moving around, a lot, and as we walked out further away from the nursery, I could begin to see all the dens- all of them, unique. "This place is huge!" Ravenkit exclaimed. I nodded, my eyes still on the camp.

That was when I saw the entrance.

The world... It seemed to stretch on forever. I gaped, my mouth open. "Did you see that?"

"What- Ooohhh." He stared at me. "Let's go outside! There's gonna be-"

"Kits, what are you doing?"

The voice of Eaglebreath rang out from behind us as we turned around. His white fur gleamed in the sunlight. "Make sure you don't wander out of the camp," he purred. "It's dangerous out there."

With that, he began padding away into the shadows, but I found my green eyes connecting with Ravenkit's amber ones, and I didn't need to look twice at his mischievous grin to know what he was thinking.

"Quiet! Someone's gonna hear us!" Ravenkit whispered frantically.

I looked at my mom behind us, snoring all the way into tomorrow. No one could possibly detect us. "We're fine," I meowed. "Let's go."

Ravenkit grumbled something about the cold, but he shook his head and began following me out. The moon shine silver, and as it beamed down at us, I smiled. MoonClan must be on our side.

"Come on!" Ravenkit gestured, and with a jolt I realized that I had fallen behind. Catching up to him, I sighed. "Geez, not a big deal. Tell me when a pack of dogs is about too attack."

Ravenkit growled, but said no more as we headed off into the undergrowth.

"This is fun," he commented. "Much, much better than being cooped up at camp."

I didn't answer. The trees seemed to be closing in on us, and I could already begin to feel my teeth chatter. "How- how long are we gonna be here?" I whispered.

Ravenkit sighed. "Don't you have any adventurous spirit in you?"

"Yes, but not if we get ourselves in trouble!" I snapped. "Oh, no, what if..."

Ravenkit stared at me. I frowned. "What?"

Then I realized he was not staring at me.

I turned around slowly.

I... I couldn't explain it. The biggest slab of black, well, something, stood in the ground, and tall trees that glowed was on either side of this strange path. I reached a paw forward to touch the black substance. It was... Hard and, well, unnatural. Something felt off. "This is not a part of the forest, is this?" I asked.

Ravenkit shook his head. "No, but I think it's safe. Look." He then began padding, slowly and cautiously, towards the middle of the trail. "See? I'm still safe. Come on!"

That was when it happened.

There was a first a roar. I froze in place, but then Ravenkit began screaming, and I wanted to help him, but I couldn't move. The ground began vibrating, and I could watch as a... a huge monster came.

Ravenkit... He...

There was a sudden breeze, the thing sped away, and I finally realized that he was crushed.

Crushed.

"Ravenkit!" I padded over to him. "Get... Get up."

He didn't answer. I began prodding him. "What happened to you?"

Still no reply. Dragging him off the black trail, I began smoothing his black fur. "Get up!"

There was a rustle through the bushes, and I spun around. My legs began shaking. "D-dad?"

Eaglebreath stared at the fallen body of Ravenkit. "Who..."

Then with a snarl, he picked him up in his jaws and began carrying him back.

I followed.

"Stay in the nursery," My mother growled. "Don't come out."

"But what happened to Ravenkit?" I pressed. "Why are they lowering him into the ground? Why-"

"He's GONE! Gone, you understand?" Her voice was shaking. "I- never thought... MoonClan help me..."

I could only stand as she padded away. "Can I see him one last time?"

Sandstone glared at me. "No. Stay in the nursery at all times. I'm not losing another kit."

With that, she disappeared.

But a hawk that loses its freedom still has its curiosity.
