Nightpaw
The clearing exploded into battle. She mewled as she heard the angry screeches, and she felt someone grab her scruff, pulling her into the nursery. She looked up to see Dawnspirit, who was holding Rainpaw's tail down, and squashing Shatteredpaw.
"You all were just apprenticed, remember? I don't want my kits getting hurt as soon as they can!" The she-cat hissed.
Shatteredpaw sat up suddenly, his ears swiveling. "There's a cat heading towards the nursery....Dawnspirit! Duck!"
The she-cat ducked, and a small black cat with a white neck and tail rocketed through the wall.
Dawnspirit nudged the three kits behind her, and she bared her teeth, her claws unsheathing. "Get. Out." She hissed.
The cat looked at her with wide blue eyes, then the cat rushed towards the hole. Nightpaw watched as her foster mother grabbed the cat by the scruff. "Why are you here? Who are you?"
"I-I had no idea we were going t-to going to a-attack," the cat stuttered. "I-I'm Shadowpaw, and I w-was just apprenticed."
Nightpaw bristled, and Shadowpaw looked at her, startled.
"Dawnspirit—" Shatteredpaw was cut off as a brown tom was flung into the nursery.
"Drop her, queen!" He hissed. "Or I'll make you!"
Dawnspirit hissed, "Nightpaw, Rainpaw, and Shatteredpaw,"
The three apprentices looked at her.
"If I fall, run away."
Nightpaw looked at her, and Dawnspirit yowled, "Go!"
Before she was dragged away, kicking and clawing.
Nightpaw padde away with a heavy heart as she walked away from the yowls.
