Dawnkit roamed around. Grayclaw and Darkstar were walking by and glared at her. The tortoiseshell-and-white kit was forced to sleep in the nursery. Alone. With nobody. Fallenbird occasionally stopped by, but warrior duties pulled her away.
"Hey Dawnkit," Deadpaw meowed.
Darkstar named the kits, not the queens. Deadpaw's brother, Talonpaw, was sitting with Shallowshade.
The mother of the kits names them, Dawnkit thought. Darkstar and Grayclaw need to die.
"Well?" Darkstar snapped. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing," Dawnkit replied.
"Then go change my bedding and get me a lizard," the leader growled.
"No!" a cat cried. "Let me do it instead. Wait until she's six moons old!"
It was Fallenbird. She was protective of Dawnkit. The two were sisters along with their brother and sister Brokenheart and Deepmist, but not littermates.
"I will make you do all apprentice duties for that!" Darkstar roared. "Just be glad you are my daughter or else I would have killed you long ago!"
Fallenbird scowled at him.
"You will never be my father!" she cried.
"You are exiled!" Darkstar screeched.
"I'm going too!" Dawnkit yelled.
"Fine! I never wanted you in the first place!" Darkstar shouted.
Deadpaw ran up.
"Don't go!" Deadpaw meowed. "We need you!"
"ShadowClan DOESN'T need us," Fallenbird growled.
She and Dawnkit stalked out of camp. Before they left, Brokenheart and Deepmist padded to their side.
"You aren't really leaving, right?" Deepmist asked.
"You are just going into the forest to think, right?" Brokenheart asked.
"No," Fallenbird replied. "Dawnkit and I are leaving for good."
"You can't!" Deepmist pleaded. "We're your family and so is Darkstar!"
"Darkstar brutally murdered mother!" Fallenbird snarled. "Dawnkit and I are leaving."
Fallenbird turned away from her littermates. Together, Dawnkit and Fallenbird left the camp.
