The next day, Smokekit woke up with a shock. He felt something run over his sides. 'Huh?' The tomcat cocked his head. Nothing. There was nothing on his flank. His littermates were still sleeping peacefully next to him in the medicine cave. He felt it again. He looked around shyly to find out what it was exactly. 'Smokekit.' a sweet, sweet voice whispered in his ear. 'Yes?' replied the black and white tomcat, puzzled and confused. 'I'll take you right away, but you'll have to go back to sleep for that.' meowed the fine voice. Smokekit nodded uncertainly, but still lay down and closed his eyes.

'Hi kitty.' The sweet voice the kitten had heard as a whisper now sounded like a normal voice. 'Hey? Who are you? Where am I? Why did you bring me here?' Smokekit flooded the cat. She was very pretty and had a silver-grey coat with beautiful ice-blue eyes. 'Oh, little one.' smiled the cat. 'I am Featherpool, I used to be a warrior before I died. You are now in StarClan-.' The cat couldn't finish her sentence because Smokekit started babbling through it, 'The Star Clan? Am I dead? No! Don't let it be! I want to have a good life with a partner and kits!' Featherpool grinned. 'You're not dead, little one. Let me finish. I brought you here to tell you something: okay, first of all, get your mother away from Clawtail. He is very dangerous. I uh- was killed by him- I was his partner, when I made sure to hide my little ones he moved on with me. He killed me.' Featherpoel's breath caught. 'No really?' Smokekit whispered hoarsely. 'Yes...' muttered the cat. She shuffled her legs a bit. 'Okay, now go. You have to get up in a minute before Clawtail wakes up and he gets to you. Flee, flee with your brother and sisters. If necessary, take your mother with you or at least make sure she's safe.' meowed the pretty silver-gray she-cat with pain in her voice. 'Certainly?' Smokekit asked, Featherpool nodded at once. 'Okay then, bye Featherpoel, see you next time...' The black and white Tom-cat took a quick look around. It was beautiful. The trees were beautifully green and if you looked up at the sky, you could see stars. Makes sense, stars in the StarClan. Smokekit thought, grinning to himself. He looked back at the cat one last time, before closing his eyes and back in the medicine den with his littermates and Tigerlilly.

'Away. We have to go.' Smokekit meowed hoarsely when his brother and sisters were awake. 'Oh really? I thought we'd stay so we could be killed nicely.' hissed Purplekit sarcastically. The black and white Tom-cat rolled his eyes. He ran to his mother and whispered in her ear: 'In case you hear me and wake up: Get away from Clawtail, he's going to kill you.' Satisfied, Smokekit ran back to his littermates. 'I'm going away for a while, outside the camp. I'll be right back to run away with you.' he whispered to his brother and sisters. He ran into the clearing and quietly left the camp. Birds chirped and sought a dry place to shelter from the rain that fell from the sky. He will soon return to the camp to pick up his littermates, to leave the SunClan with them. Now he was just out of the camp for a while to enjoy the peace in the woods. Softly you could hear the soft tapping of the raindrops falling into the water. Smokekit sighed and began to find a sheltered spot under a large overhanging leaf. Finally he found it and curled up into a ball and fell into a deep sleep.

Softly you could hear the rain tapping on the ground. Mice were beeping. Sometimes you could hear birds chirping. Startled, Smokekit was awakened by a poke in his side. He opened his eyes, but blinked against the bright light shining in his eyes. It was still raining, but the sky was light. Slowly his eyes begin to get used to it. A cat silhouette stood in front of him and growled briefly.
