Thunderkit's eyes flashed open. Light poured in and she was aware of her surroundings. She saw Flowerpool, and Bearnose, the medicine cat Honeyhope, a strange black tom with white paws, Lightingkit and Windkit laying next to her, and the storm raging outside.

"What happened?" she murmured as she rose to her paws.

Honeyhope padded forward with some foul looking herbs in her jaws. "Here." she meowed and dropped them at Thunderkit's paws as well as Lightningkit's and Windkit's, who were still fast asleep.

Hailpelt and Rainshine must still be talking to them. she thought.

"Eat these. They will help you build up your strength." Honeyhope meowed.

"But why? What happened?" Thunderkit asked.

"Do you not know?" Honeyhope meowed shocked. "Lightning struck the nursery and you three stopped breathing! Flowerpool nearly died!"

Thunderkit's eyes widened with shock and fear, then thunder boomed in her heart. She looked at her mother, then her father, and then her siblings, who had begin to awaken.

Thunder cracked outside followed by a brilliant flash of lightning, shining a blue glow across the dark sky.

"Was that us?" Thunderkit thought and glanced at Lightningkit.
Lightningkit stared at Thunderkit, eyes gleaming. She nodded as if she read her mind.

Thunderkit grinned at Lightningkit and then turned her gaze upon Windkit. He was staring at his sisters, his eyes shining in the dim light.

He padded over to his sisters and sat down next to them. He closed his eyes and found the power inside of him. He let the wind blow as hard as he could make it, sending a shower of golden leaves falling over the enterance of the medicine den.

The three siblings giggled and shook out the leaves that clung to their fur.

"I wonder what the enemy Stormstar was talking about is." Thunderkit whispered.

"I don't know." Windkit replied. "But I can tell it's really bad."

"And we have to fight it." Lightningkit finished.

"Don't worry. We'll be ready." Thunderkit meowed. "Our star mentors will help us."

The three nodded and headed out into the storm outside.
