Bluesky sat in the warm twig-sewn nursery, a grey heap of fur suddenly jumped and landed on the sleeping white tom-kit laying beside her, "Got you Cloudkit!" The grey tom-kit meowed triumphantly. "Get your tail off of me Ashkit!" The annoyed kit hissed. Ashkit obeyed and jumped off of his brother, "Got you now!" The white kit said as he launched himself onto his bewildered brother, Bluesky pulled her attention from the fighting tom-kits towards a sleeping pile of snow white fur towards the entrance of the nursery, "Hey, Cloudkit, Ashkit, go get your sister and play outside." She said to the wrestling tom-kits, they broke up their fight long enough to bound over to their sister, "Snowkit wake up." Cloudkit said as he prodded her side.
"Huh?" She snorted as she awoke, Bluesky couldn't help but chuckle at the kit. But she was up in an instant, Ashkit turned towards the entrance, "Race you!" He meowed quickly then raced off, the white kits took off after their brother, Snowkit quickly catching up, leaving Cloudkit to trail behind her whipping tail.
"You got to tell them soon." A voice sounded from the other side of the nursery. Bluesky whipped around to see her sister, Featherstep laying down in her fresh moss nest. Her stomach looked as if it was ready to burst. Bluesky knew in an instant what the white-grey she-cat was referring too. "I know. Ashkit reminds me more of him than both of Cloudkit and Snowkit combined." Bluesky muttered. Something she had not told her kits, they were half-clan born, half ShadowClan, half ThunderClan. Bluesky had decided not to tell her kits. "They will find out some day, and the longer you keep them in the dark, the harder it will be on them when they find out." Featherstep meowed.
It was near sundown when her three kits bounded into the nursery, Ashkit was muddy from eartip to tailtip, Cloudkit was pretty much clean except for spots he missed on his head, but the one who caught her attention the most was Snowkit, the mud on her was not in splotches, but in spots, "I will take care of you two little muddy buddies." Featherstep offered as the two tom-kits padded towards her. Snowkit walked towards Bluesky with exhaustion, "Tired?" Bluesky asked in a joking tone, Snowkit nodded in reply making her chuckle as she leaned to clean a spot on her she-kits paw.
Bluesky sat licking the same spot for what seemed like moons. She finally backed up enough to see a shaded spot replace the once white paw, it went from black, to grey, to faint grey. "Woah!" Ashkit meowed in surprise as he stared at his sisters paw. Cloudkit walked over and started licking a spot on her ear while Ashkit licked a spot on her tailtip.
After a little while of licking, Bluesky didn't even recognize her kit, "You certainly can't call her Snowkit anymore!" Featherstep chimed in. Her thoughts suddenly whirled inside her head. What will I call her? Bluesky asked herself, A small voice sounded beside her meowed, "What about Shadekit?" The voice belonged to Cloudkit. "I like it!" Shadekit meowed happily, "If you like it then, your new name is Shadekit." Bluesky said proudly.
