Rosewing sat in the nursery, her kits squirming to get to her. Pinekit looked up at her, pawing at one of his siblings. Rosewing shakes her head and picks him up by the scruff. She licked his fur, he closes his eyes.

It had been a full moon since Rosewing's kits had been born. Their eyes had now opened, but they hadn't been very playful- except for Lilykit and Pinekit.

Aspenflight sat in his den, shaking a poppy to get some poppy seeds. Suddenly, Whiteclaw burst in. "There's an attack on Darkclan!"
He turned his attention to the white, plump, fluffy warrior. No one in the clan is that plump, He thought at first. Then, Aspenflight realized that he had said that there was an attack.
"Bring all of the kits to me! Send out the apprentices to fight, but only the older apprentices- bring the younger ones to me!" Aspenflight ordered. Whiteclaw dipped his head before leaping out.

Rosewing saw Whiteclaw burst into the nursery, "Rosewing! Get prepared to fight!" They touched noses for a quick second before Aspenflight padded in. He went over to Lilykit, "There is no time to waste!" He picked up Lilykit by the scuff and took her to his den.
Rosewing's eyes filled with worry and panic. She knew it would be best to get her kits out of the nursery. Anyone could attack- even at Aspenflight's den. But they would be the most safe there.
She picked Smallkit up by the scruff, Whiteclaw picked Pinekit up and the two took them to Aspenflight's den. Aspenflight, Whiteclaw, and Rosewing came racing back to the nursery only to realize that Daisykit wasn't there.
    "Daisykit? Daisykit!" Rosewing mews loudly, "M-My kit! Where is she!"
    Whiteclaw raced out of the nursery, only to see his kit lying there with a brutal scratch on her face. He picked her up by the scruff and raced to the medicine cat den. Aspenflight leaped into his den and looked for poppy seeds. He took them over to Daisykit and she ate them, the pain on her face slightly easing. She lifts her head, opening her other eyes which was permanently scratched. It couldn't be healed no matter what Aspenflight did.
     Rosewing carried Meadowkit in the Medicine Cat den to see Daisykit look up at her. Whiteclaw looked down at Daisykit, "She'll never be a warrior. Why do we need to spend our time saving her? She will just need more and more care."
     Daisykit's eye filled with fear. She whimpered as she put her head down. Rosewing growled at Whiteclaw, "Go to the place of no stars if you think that way! She'll be a great warrior! Y-You... You'll see!"
    "I should of joined Shadowclan when I had the chance." He muttered. Rosewing turned her attention to him and added, "Then go! You're not needed here!"
"Good riddance!" Whiteclaw spat at her, making her claws come out. She tackled him and bit down on his shoulder, but he got on top of her and swiped at her face. Rosewing clawed him with her hind legs and blood oozed out of his stomach.
"Rosewing!" Oakstar called, then padding into Aspenflight's den. Oakstar leaped back when she saw Whiteclaw's scars. "S-She was trying to kill me!" Whiteclaw added.
"Rosewing!" Oakstar growled, "You betrayed the Warrior code! You never attack another warrior from your own clan!"
Rosewing looked at her paws, her gaze going to Daisykit who was shifting back into a corner. Out of anger and rage, Whiteclaw turned to the kit. He stalked over to her, his teeth showing and his claws out. Daisykit's eyes filled full of fear, just before Oakstar leaped out and scratched Whiteclaw's back.
"Whiteclaw! You have been exiled from Darkclan- forever!" Oakstar spat at him, standing proudly at her decision. Rosewing sat on her haunches next to her, but soon padded over to her kit.
"This clan is no longer safe for my kits. Daisykit, Lilykit, and Pinekit will go to separate clans." Rosewing announced. Pain filled her eyes as she spoke, but she knew it was the right decision. Only Smallkit and Meadowkit would remain in Darkclan.
    "Are you sure this is the right decision?" Oakstar asks, seeing right through her hidden eyes. Rosewing nodded slowly before adding, "They will go before dawn. It will be best to separate them. They mustn't know of their father."
    Oakstar stares at her, "Rosewing, you are a strong warrior. You'll always be a loyal cat, but your place isn't here." He paused before adding, "You and your kits will all go before dawn."
    "No... I can't... But if it's the best choice for my kits, then I'll leave. You are a thoughtful leader, Oakstar. I'll always be loyal to you and your clan, but it's not safe for me when Whiteclaw is still lurking on this side of the forest. Goodbye, Oakstar."
    Rosewing looked over at Daisykit, who was still badly injured. "Daisykit, I love you. But I want Aspenwing to look after you. Be good and don't get into trouble. Visit me at the gatherings if you can. I'll come back for you someday, when you're old enough."
    Daisykit looked at her mother, pain filled her eyes as well. "M-Mother..." Her voice squeaks. "Take me with you!"
    Rosewing looks at her paws, picking Meadowkit up by the scruff. Aspenflight had done all he could do with Daisykit so he picked up Smallkit, who was the smallest kit. Daisykit tried to go towards them, but only cried out, "Don't leave me! Don't leave me!"
    Other warriors came to take the other two kits out. Daisykit curled herself up into a ball, Oakstat came over to her and let her rest against his flank. He soothed her until she fell asleep, but didn't leave her side. Oakstar didn't want to admit it, but he loved Rosewing. Pain filled him when he let her and her kits go. Now, Whiteclaw was going to pay for almost killing her kit and herself.
