The whole document has 24 pages, so I'm going to divide the scenes into different parts.

somewhere in Chapter 01 — the old version

Thornfur purred and ran his tongue over his kits. "Can you please fetch Carnationtail?" He pointed to the lark he had put down. "I caught this one for her."

Hazelkit and Poppykit nodded eagerly and scampered back to the nursery.  Meanwhile, Larkkit stared at the bird. When Swallowfern had explained the meaning of their names to them, she had found it rather insulting to be named after a prey animal.

"The first thing I heard when I was thinking of a name for you was the chirping of a lark. That's why you're called Larkkit." That was Swallowfern's reasoning, and although it was quite beautiful, Larkkit was sure she would never accept it.

Carnationtail came trudging across the meadow. She touched Thornfur's muzzle gently with her nose before turning her bright eyes to the lark. "You seriously caught that just for me?" The cream-coloured she-cat sounded as incredulous as if Thornfur had to climb a mountain to get it.

Thornfur nodded and pushed the lark towards her with his paw. "You wanted one, so I caught you one. I wouldn't have come back any sooner. If I had to, I would have looked for it until tomorrow."

Carnationtail purred amusedly. "You don't have to go to such trouble."

Energetically, Thornfur shook his head. "I'll do anything for you."

Larkkit had seen enough. "Come," she meowed to her littermates. "Let's go and see where Amberkit has gone."

————————————————————————————————————
No one knows what has happened to Thornfur, but his role as Carnationtail's mate now belongs to a tom called Nutfur.

Hazelkit and Poppykit also faded from existence...

They didn't have to look far. Amberkit had moved into the medicine cat's den and was now sitting there motionless in the corner.

When Finstrike noticed them, he groaned. "Holy Star Clan, no more kits!" The silver-white tom looked as if he was about to fall asleep standing up. "What hole have you crawled out of now?"

Which one do you think?

"We wanted to see where Amberkit was," Dashkit explained politely. Larkkit looked at her suspiciously from the side. She had rarely seen the light grey tabby she-cat so friendly.

The shape of Motleycloud materialised from the shadows. "Don't be so grumpy, Finstrike," the colourful spotted medicine cat apprentice purred. She looked so much like Larkkit that she once had the thought that they were somehow related. But to her disappointment, Motleycloud denied this.

————————————————————————————————————
The thing with the similarity was kinda weird and didn't make sense. Motleycloud has always been a typical tortoiseshell with a bit of white. But Larkkit used to be a typical calico with those big, ginger and black splotches. So they might have had similar colours, but completely different patterns.

Current Lark might look a tiny bit similar to Motleycloud now because I made her a tortico, so she has both the mottled pelt of a typical tortie as well as some bigger spots like a calico.

"I'm not," Finstrike clarified. "I just don't want any more kits to get in the way of my work."

Amberkit emerged from behind a makeshift partition of twigs. When she saw her littermates, her eyes widened briefly.

"Maybe it would be better if you took her back with you," Finstrike said. "If she has nothing to do here, she has no business being here."

Amberkit looked as if she was about to start wailing. Without saying a word, she went to Larkkit, Dashkit and Leafkit.

As soon as the four of them had left the medicine cat's den behind them and re-entered the actual camp, Leafkit turned to Amberkit. "I thought you'd be interested in something like this? Then why aren't you doing anything?"

"Uhm... I... well, it's like this..." Amberkit flattened her ears, ruffled her fur and looked to the ground.

Larkkit looked away, shaking her head. For the life of her, she couldn't imagine that Amberkit would become something sensible. She couldn't do anything. "What do you imagine it will be like when you're an apprentice?" she asked. "Do you even know what you want to be?"

Amberkit looked at her briefly. "No."

Why don't you just become a loner?

"So that's where you are!" Swallowfern came running to them. "I've been looking everywhere for you."

Meowing, Amberkit jumped towards the black and white she-cat and hid behind her. She stepped aside. "What's going on?"

Dashkit sighed in annoyance. "Why does Amberkit have to be like this?" she complained.

"Yes, exactly!" Leafkit nodded eagerly. "She never does anything with us and acts so weird."

Swallowfern gave the red tom a reproving look. "That's no way to talk about your littermate¡" she hissed. "You're not even giving her a chance. All you can do is insult her. I've been patient with you long enough. But if I hear you shut her out one more time, I'll make sure you're appointed a moon later. Is. That. Clear?’"

Intimidated by her vehement announcement, Larkkit, Dashkit and Leafkit looked to the ground. She's excluding herself. Nevertheless, Larkkit had the feeling that Swallowfern was right, and she didn't like it at all.

————————————————————————————————————
Yes, you show them, Swallowfern!

Ahem. As you can see, the others were straight up vicious towards Amberkit.
