Darkstorm smiled as Larkkit and Frogkit both chased Ravenkit with little success. The little black tom was fast maybe even faster then a Windclan warrior and Windclan warriors are fast.

Darkstorm watched as Frogkit padded over to him with hope gleaming in his eyes. "Darkstorm can you help us catch Ravenkit?" Darkstorm chuckled with amusement at the request.

Maplenose told him to play with the kits and that the energy of kits could help him get exercise. "But isn't that cheating since I'm a warrior and he's a kit?"

Frogkit had a mischievous glance as he let out a cheeky laugh. "Well your deputy and Ravenkit can practice." Darkstorm sighed as he got up.

Once he spotted Larkkit he began to do a fast walk besides her. "Wow Frogkit you actually convinced Darkstorm to help." Darkstorm looked to his other side and saw Frogkit running.

"Yeah now we can catch Ravenkit." Darkstorm sighed as Ravenkit zoomed pass him with ease. Realizing the kit was actually putting so much effort into it Darkstorm began to pick up his speed.

Larkkit and Frogkit both stopped as they saw how fast Darkstorm was going. Darkstorm caught up to Ravenkit but the kit began to kick up dust to try and distract Darkstorm.

Darkstorm let out a sneeze and saw Ravenkit was gone. Looking around her spotted the bright green eyes of the kit as he hid in the shadows to maybe hide from Darkstorm.

Careful to not hurt the kit Darkstorm placed his paw on what he assumed was Ravenkit's tail. Immediately the black kit tried to escape but couldn't.

"No fair your bigger then me." Darkstorm rolled his eyes at the logic of the kit. "Well your eyes gave you away next time try closing them."

Ravenkit nodded and closed his eyes. Darkstorm felt Ravenkit shift as he turned into a tight ball. Quickly the deputy lost Ravenkit in the shadows.

Hearing the chuckles of others behind him Darkstorm turned to see Ravenkit sitting besides his littermates. "I managed to sneak away when you were searching for me."

Darkstorm felt his pelt go hot knowing he lost to a kit. "Well now we know you can stalk prey from the shadows but what about snow?"

The kits looked at him with eyes as wide as a full moon. "What is snow?" Asked Larkkit. "Well snow is something that falls from the sky during leafbare and its white." Darkstorm answered.

The kits looked at him with excitement. "Will we ever see snow?" Asked tiny Frogkit. "Well it's almost leaf fall so maybe." The kits all bounced with excitement.

Darkstorm noticed as Larkkit let out a tiny yawn. "Well I think it's time to get you guys back to the nursery." Frogkit was about to let out a mew of protest but Darkstorm stopped him.

"No arguments I can tell your tired besides you should enjoy naps as a warrior you don't get to have naps." Frogkit looked at Darkstorm with horror.

"Now let's go take your nap." The kits all followed Darkstorm to the nursery in a somewhat straight line. One they got back to the nursery the kits went to Mousecoal's nest and quickly fell asleep.

"Thank you Darkstorm I was actually able to clean up a bit and get some sleep." Darkstorm let out a purr of amusement. "Well it's good exercise for me."

Mousecoal nodded with understanding. "But all that energy isn't from you. It's definitely from their father." Darkstorm commented. Mousecoal froze at that comment.

"Yep all that energy is from their father." Darkstorm felt suspicion crawl along his spine as he saw Mousecoal's hesitation. "Well goodbye Mousecoal."

The gray queen nodded her goodbye as she curled her tail defensively around her three kits. Darkstorm padded out of the nursery a bit suspicious about the queen.

Quickly realizing how Mousecoal never mentioned a father Darkstorm padded towards the medicine den. Curious About where Larkkit got her pale fur from.

Once Darkstorm entered the medicine den he spotted Maplenose dozing off. Careful to not anger the tired medicine cat Darkstorm softly nudged her.

The medicine cat snapped from her doze and looked at Darkstorm with tiredness. "Whatever you want better be important to bother me."

Darkstorm felt hesitant to ask the She cat his questions but he didn't want to make it seem like he woke her up for nothing. "I was just wondering what Mousecoal's parents looked like."

Maplenose let out a heavy sigh. "That's what you seriously woke me up for?" Darkstorm slowly nodded with regret. Maplenose let out an angry mutter before getting up.

"Mousecoal's father Crowshine was a black tom with blue eyes while her mother Greyflower was a gray she cat with dark gray patches."

Darkstorm tried to think about the fur color and realized the pale fur was from the father. "Thank you maplenose for answering my question."

Maplenose rolled her eyes as she began to go back dozing. Quickly exiting the medicine den to not disturb the exhausted medicine cat Darkstorm tried to think of any pale cats he knew.

Walking towards the fresh-kill pile Darkstorm chose a frog and went back to thinking. He didn't really know any pale cats besides the deputy of ThunderClan.

Immediately Darkstorm stopped as he was about to take a bite of his frog. He remembered Mousecoal talking with Hawkclaw during one gathering.

That tom was a pale tabby. Darkstorm felt his mind spin when he came to the realization that those kits he was playing with earlier had ThunderClan blood in them.

Darkstorm didn't know what to do. Tell Morningstar and ruin those kits future or let them live without knowing their true father.

Darkstorm knew he couldn't do that to kits especially Mousecoal's kits. How would tell Mousecoal he found out tho? Darkstorm sighed as he finished his frog and padded to the warrior's den.

Whatever he did do would most likely end with a good ending or most likely end with terrible consequences.
