Dawnpurr strolled through the forest, her kits following with grins on their faces.

"Come on, it's not far," Dawnpurr cooed.

"But it's sun-high! Won't the clan be worried?" Heatherkit meowed.

"The clan doesn't know; we'll come back in a flash," Dawnpurr purred.

"Okay! It's like a mission warriors go on!" Firekit jumped up and down, his tail twitching.

"Okay..." Songkit hummed.

Dawnpurr glanced at Songkit before nearly colliding with the fence.

"Ack! We're here!" Dawnpurr flicked her tail at the large house, reeking of twoleg scent.

"AA-! What's that scent?" Heatherkit hissed.

"It smells strange!" Firekit yelped.

Before Songkit could respond, a ginger tabby tom stepped out of the forest, purring, "Are these my k—" He was abruptly cut off as Firekit leaped at him, knocking him over.

"Trespasser!"

Dawnpurr gasped, pulling Firekit off the ginger tom. "That's no way to treat your father!" she hissed.

"Father!?" Heatherkit almost spat the word.

"He's a kittypet!" Songkit growled, her tail lashing.

"He's not one of us!" Firekit yowled.

"Yes, he is! He's your father, and you will respect and love him!"

Songkit stepped towards the ginger tom, her fur lying flat.

Dawnpurr watched excitedly while Firekit hissed.

"Hello, little one! I'm Jingle!" Jingle purred, resting his tail on Songkit's back.

Songkit flinched, scurrying back.

Jingle seemed a bit disappointed.

"What did you name them?"

Dawnpurr lifted her tail.

"Their names are Songkit, Firekit, and Heatherkit."

"What?!" Jingle looked taken aback, his fur bristling.

"You named them after clan cats?! I am their father! They should have kittypet names!"

Dawnpurr stepped back, her expression one of surprise.

"But they're clan cats at heart..."

"No. I am taking them with me," Jingle declared.

Firekit gasped, clawing the ground, while Songkit and Heatherkit stood in shock.

"No!"

"Never!"

"You can't!"

"You will never take cats of Oakclan. Never," a white she-cat appeared, her fur fluffed up.

Fernblaze.

"What? Who are you?" Jingle pawed the ground.

"Leave!"

"Not until I get my kits back," Jingle insisted.

He lunged for Dawnpurr's neck. Dawnpurr screamed, ducking, relieved that she was not dead.

Only to see Songkit's lifeless body, a swift clean cut across her neck.
