The second one? I think?

 After that encounter and the magical find, Slugcloud had hidden the kit from anyone who didn't know about her, calling the young she-kit Leopardkit and hiding her when she slept. Having leftover milk, the trio agreed that Slugcloud would be the one who looked after her most of the time. This night, Slugcloud had the deep gut feeling to feed the kit and then hide her in some place high but covered. She did exactly that, making sure the kit was asleep before she moved her under the cover of darkness. She placed her in a rocky opening, comforting the kit and hiding with her. Curling up in the small space, she licked the kit's head, closing her eyes and falling asleep quietly.

Everyone was awoken by a scream of terror from Swiftpaw, rushing out of their dens to see an antelope gnawing on the apprentice's den, which was a bunch of dry leaves and grasses carefully placed in a structured way that was covered by moss. Everyone began to panic, suddenly interrupted by the antelope letting out a panicked bellow and leaping around camp. Everyone could only sit back and watch, or dodge in horror as it destroyed dens, slipping and collapsing the nursery, kicking away anything that could have fixed it as it leapt from the camp and bolted. The antelope hadn't been here long, but it already broke everything. It was all ruined.

''No, no no no!'' Rookstar gasped in horror as he limped toward the nursery. This was all crafted by his ancestors- how would they rebuild it?! ''WoodClan! We will be moving to the falls for a clan discussion- follow me! The camp isn't safe right now.'' He whispered the last part, frowning and heading for the camp exit, followed by everyone else. Railface, and Slugcloud stayed behind for a while as they calmed the hidden kit down and carried her back to the falls. Leechstorm felt that they should hide her expertly this time, so they placed Leopardkit inside a hollow tree where hopefully nobody would find her if they didn't know where to look. The kit had pricked up her ears- a good sign, but hadn't begun to speak just yet. Just babbles. They bid her farewell before joining the rest of the clan behind them.

Leechstorm sat beside her leader, glancing over her shoulder every so often. Everyone thought that she was alert. She was just paranoid. Swiftpaw was close to her side, excited and practically bouncing of excitement. The small tabby tom constantly gazed up at Leechstorm, proud and puffing out his chest. He clearly wanted to be noticed by his mentor and complimented, but it seemed he understood that after what had happened everyone was a bit shaken up. The gentle crashing of water against rocks along with her clan discussing things made the deputy weary. ''Swiftpaw, I want you to hide. Don't come out until I say so. I don't trust this place, SandClan's scent is in the air and I don't want you to get hurt. When I say Blackbird, then, and only then, should you come out.'' The black ticked tabby meowed into her apprentice's ear. She nudged him gently with her paw as he protested against the idea, watching as he reluctantly hid himself in a hollow. Her grin turned to a frown, spotting someone in the crowd who wasn't there before. Or were they?

''And we'll be going back to our camp soon, however I will talk to Chubstar and see if he may lend us any help.'' Rookstar grinned, gazing at his clan's thankful and tired faces.

''Who are you?'' Leechstorm hissed, flicking her tail in the direction of the unknown cat. The stranger was quickly noticed and tackled by Plumtail, a low hiss escaping his jaws.

''I may be old but my memory doesn't fail me yet. Who the hell are you? You're not of WoodClan- spy.'' He spat, large and lean-muscled body pinning the thin molly. His slightly white closed eyes may have made him partially blind but he could see and smell well enough to know who wasn't in his clan.

''Little rat! Who sent you?!'' Slugcloud hissed aggressively, nudging the elder away from the molly. It was Cheetahpaw, because of course it was.

''I- I just wanted to know if the leopard cub was gone! I've been paranoid- thinking that the mama was just gonna raid SandClan camp! To find her baby!'' Cheetahpaw cried. ''Eveningstar wants to know where you put it! She didn't tell me why.. I just assumed it was to tell us to stay away from there for a while! I'm sorry..'' The apprentice gazed at Slugcloud helplessly, her white fur puffed out due to sheer fear.
