Quartzkit shuffled in her empty nest, feeling bored and restless. Why is this camp so boring? Theres never any attacks from the other clans, and Lionstar doesn't even let his clan start any border fights! Quartzkit looked out at the empty camp clearing. Something feels wrong... as she peered out she heard a cat yowl as SparkClan attacked the camp. Quartzkit felt her fur bristle. I have to wake up the warriors! Quartzkit dashed quickly through the clearing and shook awake a warrior. "Hey kit, i'm trying to sleep!" Quartzkit hissed under her breath at the warrior. "This is more important than sleeping! SparkClan is attacking!" The warrior sat up quickly. "Well why didnt you say so kit? Wake up the others quickly! The SparkClan cats must be here to kill the kits!" Quartzkit nodded and started waking up the warriors. When she ran out to wake up the apprentices, she felt a paw push her over. She looked up to see a young apprentice standing over her with her claws out. Oh no! She braced herself for an attack when the apprentice whispered, "Run!"

Quartzkit ran quickly back to the nursery, where her mum was guarding all of the kits. "Quartzkit! Hide with the others! Quickly!" Quartzkit struggled under a nest and was squashed up next to all of the other kits. "Hey! I can help!" Finchfeather covered Quartz's mouth with her tail. "You're a kit? How can you help? Run around, mewling and getting killed?" Quartz opened her mouth to respond when she saw a SparkClan warrior attack the nursery. "STAY AWAY FROM MY KITS!" Quartzkit saw a flash of brown as Finchfeather leaped at the tom, hissing as she rolled him away from where the kits were hiding. Quartzkit ducked her head back under the moss and turned to see Halfkit staring at her with wide eyes. "What d-do you think will happened to my mum?" 

Quartz realized that when the SparkClan cat had attacked, she had seen a ginger and black she-cat lying on the ground. "Umm- well- i don't wanna say this but..." Halfkit looked at his paws. "Don't say that she's dead....." Quartz stayed silent. I know how i would feel if sky died.. Quartz shook her head. Wait, who's sky?  Oh well, i must be imagining things again...  "Don't worry. If she is dead, she will be watching over you in StarClan. If not, then she will be happy that you are being brave." Halfkit seemed to look calmer as Quartzkit finished talking. "We should rest, we might need energy later to help the warriors fix the camp." As the words came out of her mouth, Quartzkit felt the soft pull of sleep.
