Chapter Seven:New Kits
Two moons later
Petalflight looked happily as her four adorable kits suckled on her milk."What should we call them?"Mintleaf asked."This one could be Breezekit,"The Queen said, nudging her head to the smallest kit,a she-cat."This could be Dandelionkit,"Mintleaf said,nuzzling the largest one.
Ivyleaf walked into the nursery,Spottedpaw and Berrypaw behind her."Have you named them?"Spottedpaw asked."Two.The smallest is Breezekit,the largest is Dandelionkit,"Mintleaf told him.Berrypaw smiled.
"What should we call this kit,Spottedpaw?"Petalflight asked."Me?You're the parents,you should decide," Spottedpaw said."No,I think you should name at least one kit,"Mintleaf told the young tom.
"Okay.The one next to Breezekit should be Branchkit,"The apprentice said."I love it!"Berrypaw said.
"What should we call this kit?"Ivyleaf asked,nudging the second largest kit."Nightkit?"Berrypaw suggested.
"Yes.She's black,just like Beetlewish,"Petalflight said.

Gourgepaw stalked the lone thrush."Good,"Thrushbreeze said.The apprentice leaped and slashed at the thrush's back before clamping her teeth around the bird.The avian fluttered around before going limp.
Cinderfur was waiting with Mousepaw when Gourgepaw and Thrushbreeze walked to The Bramble Bush."How did it go?I only got two mice,"Mousepaw said. "I got a thrush,"Gourgepaw said.
"Well done!"Cinderfur exclaimed.

Robinpaw and Squirrelpaw returned to camp after a dawn patrol.Kitestar and Timberhop were outside the leader's den."I think we should hold Jaypaw and Finchpaw back a moon,"Timberhop said,her brown fur glistening.
"Why?"Cherryflower asked,joining the conversation.
"They are both having issues hunting prey.Finchpaw seems to find it difficult to fight,"Timberhop said.
Squirrelpaw turned to Robinpaw."Should we tell Jaypaw and Finchpaw?"She asked.Robinpaw shook her head.

Onepaw grimaced as Beetlewish snored loudly.Note to self: never become an elder,Onepaw thought.
"Hi,"A small voice said.Onepaw turned around to see Dandelionkit."What are you doing here?"The apprentice asked."Someone's in the nursery,"The she-kit said.
Onepaw walked over to the nursery and gasped.The ThunderClan deputy,Featherwhisker,was attacking Toadleg!
Branchkit and Frogkit were nowhere to be seen.
