After returning from the battle, it wasn't long before all of the apprentices decided to crash in their nests. 

" I could sleep for a billion moons!" moaned Kestrelpaw.

" Same here, Frostpaw? How about you?" Cloudpaw asked.

" Mrff..." Frostpaw snored and rolled over.

" At least you guys got to battle!" Brokenpaw snarled angrily.

" Oh shut up Brokenpaw, you're such a pessimist." Flashpaw hissed at his sister.

Brokenpaw's claws unsheathed. " You know what Flashpaw? I'm tired of this, I deserve better than being avoided at all times, nobody ever even talks to me! Do you know how hard that is, well, DO YOU?" She schreeched. " I didn't think so, half of you don't even know what happened!" The fur on her back was spiked as much as possible. " I will make you hear my story!"

" Pearlkit come here!" Burningskies purred as she called out to her kit.

" I coming ma!" The little dark brown she-kit responded, her silver-green eyes sparkeled.

" Oh my pretty little daughter," Burningskies cooed, " You will always be my tiny pearl."

Pearlkit purred.

" Now run along and play dear!" Her mother meowed.

" Okay ma!" Pearlkit agreed as she tumbled out of the nursery.

Over a small mound of dust she could see her brothers playing with a ball of moss.

" Hey guys!" Pearlkit called " can i join?" 

" Sure." Kestrelkit meowed half-mindedly, his eyes focused of the ball rolling in front of him.

" Catch Pearlkit!" Flashkit shreiked as he chucked the moss over his sister's head. The ball flew above her outstreached paws and into the crack between two boulders.

" I'll get it!" She meowed as she sprinted over to the huge rocks. Pearlkit could see the ball now it was caught in the tangles of a root, she shoved her tiny paw in, feeling pebbles and roots as she searched for the moss.

" Pearlkit come here now!" Her panicked mother called.

" One minute!" She responded.

" NOW PEARLKIT, THERES A FALCON!" Burningskies screamed.

Pearlkit turned her head just in time to see the ridged talons of the bird of prey. Then she blacked out.

" How could you let this happen to Brokenkit?" She heard as she came to.

Who's Brokenkit? Pearlkit wondered.
