 SUNFLOWER'S POV-

"Sunflower are you awake" a orange tabby called into the nursery

 "I am now Lionthorn" I, Sunflower replied

 "Lionthorn move I need to get in" a  white-and-light brown cat said impatiently 

 "Sorry Mysticpaw" Lionthorn replied sheepishly

 "So Sunflower," said Mysticpaw ignoring Lionthorn, "Can you come collecting herbs with me" "The storm damged my supplies and I need to get more"

 "O-" "NO SHE CAN'T, SHE IS TO CLOSE TO KITTING!" Lionthorn interrupted

 "Lionthorn she is a moon away from kitting, she can come with me to collect herbs" Mysticpaw said with the air of a queen telling her kits something

 "Now come on Sunflower" said Mysticpaw

 LATER THAT DAY 

 MYSTICPAW'S POV-

 I heard a growl from behind me.

 "ATTACK!!!" shouted a voice.

 Suddenly I was pushed to the ground and that same voice growled in my ear.

 "I'll give you one chance to live, tell us where our kits are and you can live".

 He rolled off me and I sat up, I know this cat he is from DarkClan, Shadowpelt I think  I thought.

 "What kits?" I asked. 

 "You know what kits, Lunareclipse's kits- Jaykit, Skykit, Badgerkit, Cloudkit and Fortunekit," Shadowpelt replied.

 "I really don't know," I said confused "I'm the medicine apprentice, Mysticpaw".

 "Never heard of you, and you can't be there's no-one to train you," Shadowpelt said coldly.

 "That's because I was only made a apprentice a few days ago and Hollypool is traning me from StarClan," I replied. I mean of course I'm a medicine cat apprentice I'm collecting herbs for StarClan's sake.

 "I don't believe you," Shadowpelt said "And we are going to send a warning to any of your clanmates to give our kits back," He continued.

 And then I felt a pain in my neck and turned around there was another DarkClan cat on my back.

 The world around me started to blur and then I felt no more

 AN- Hey I just made a rhyme

 SUNFLOWER POV-

 Mysticpaw had wanted me to pick up some marigold, she said she was low on it. It always made me nervous coming around here though because it was near one of the tunnels that DarkClan had used to attack us when Brightstar and Darkstar had first started making the clans. I wasn't alive then but when I was a kit Brightstar told me all about it. 

 Suddenly I caught a whiff of some cats in the tunnel and there was also some BrightClan scent near it but I didn't know this scent and I know all of my clanmates scent. I went over to the tunnel and I could hear some faint mewling coming from it. I started to dig and eventually I uncovered the entrance to the tunnel and I walked inside following the BrightClan scent. A little while in I saw 5 kits about a day old I would guess. I took them out and brought them back to camp Lionthorn came running up to me but when he saw the kits he stopped. 

 "Are those kit's?" he asked clearly confused.

 "Yes," I answered "I found them in one of the tunnels".

 Brightstar came down from her den "Sunflower do you want to keep them?" she asked.

 "Yes," I replied "They smell faintly of DarkClan but they can't want them so I want to keep them," I said.

 "Ok then you can keep them," Brightstar said. "Oh and do you know where Mysticpaw went, she isn't back yet?" she continued.

 "She said that she went to collect borage," I said.

 "Wait what She said?  you weren't with her?" said Lionthorn.

 "No," I said.

 "Are you s-" 

 "Well Yellowpelt you can go see where Mysticpaw is and take Waveshell and Whitepaw with you," interrupted Brightstar.

 "Ok," replied Yellowpelt waving Waveshell and Whitepaw over with her tail.

YELLOWPELT'S POV-  

 "I wonder why Mysticpaw isn't back yet," said Whitepaw worried.

 "She probably just got caught up collecting herbs," I said. But of course Whitepaw is worried, Mysticpaw is her sister after all I thought.

 "I'm sure she's fine," said Waveshell, brushing his tail over her back.

 Soon we made it to the clearing where Mysticpaw likes to gather borage. But before we reached it I held out my tail making Waveshell and Whitepaw stop.

 "What's wrong?" said Waveshell.

 "Can't you smell it?" I asked "It stinks of DarkClan," I spat.

 Whitepaw's eyes went wide at that and before we could stop her she raced into the clearing and let out a squeal.

 "MYSTICPAW!"
