A silver tabby she-cat stalked through the bushes, she sniffed the air, a stale scent of Windclan lingered in the air, a patrol passed through here a day or two ago, Grassripple carried a tiny silver she-kit. Three other Thunderclan cats followed behind her, a pretty white she-cat with green eyes carrying a smokey grey tom, a brown tabby tom carrying a silver tabby she-kit and a grey tom carrying a black she-kit.

"Put Ashkit, Lightkit and Dawnkit over on this moss with Stormkit," Grassripple called. Snowpelt, Dirtclaw and Raintail laid the kits down in a tree hollow.

Stormkit mewed as her mother let go of her scruff, her blue eyes shone in the star light, they were like pools of sparkling water. The wind picked up as they caught the scent of fresh Windclan cats. The other three warriors arched their backs, claws unsheathed. But Grassripple knew this scent. A large black muscular tom emerged from the bushes, his amber eyes were filled with terror. Scratches covered his body, "get the kits out of here!" Adderfang gasped, panting for breath.

"What's going on Adderfang?" Grassripple demanded.

"Rouge cats are attacking camp!" He finally caught his breath, "their coming this way!"

"Too late cat!" A unfamiliar voice spat, a large tortiseshell tom rose from the bushes, his fur was a mess, a large scar was across his eye.

"Run kits!" Dirtclaw hissed, "deep into Thunderclan territory!"

Snowpelt run over and picked Stormkit up, "I'll take them back," she called through her teeth.

"Don't let them escape!" The large tom called.

A she-cat pounced on Snowpelt with Stormkit still in her mouth, the two she-cats tackled each other, a blur of black and white. The rouge she-cat clawed at Stormkit, leaving her a scar down her side, Adderfang saw this and attacked the black she-cat. A tom sprang at Snowpelt again and left a deep wound on her throat. Snowpelt staggered, then fell, blood gushing from her throat.

Stormkit looked around, she gasped when she saw a she-cat standing over her parents, the she-cat had her left eye ripped out from a long ago battle. Her pelt was the darkest black Stormkit has ever seen. She looked back at Snowpelt, her eyes were clouded, she was dead.

"Stormkit! We need to help mummy and daddy!" Ashkit meowed, his tiny claws were unsheathed, their sisters were huddled together, Lightkit was staring at the wound on Stormkit's side, blood stained her silver fur red. The kits run together through Thunderclan territory, they soon tired and found a place to sleep, Dawnkit's black body was like a shadow.

Stormkit woke to the sound of the Thunderclan dawn patrol, she woke Dawnkit up and told her what she could hear. They went out, and saw the patrol, the cats were Runningtail, Molenose, Skyleaf and Thunderclaws. They started calling out for them.

"Hey Runningtail!" Stormkit yelled,

"Thunderclaws!"Dawnkit called, Lightkit and Ashkit came out and started yelling as well.

"Molenose! Skyleaf!"

Molenose caught sight of them, he said something to Runningtail, the clans deputy, and all four came over, the kit's rushed over.

"We thought you were dead!" Runningtail pulled them in close, Skyleaf noticed the wound on Stormkit's side.

"Runningtail, look!" Skyleaf flicked her tail towards the wound.
