Frostheart looked out at the clearing. Her four kits played not far from her. They were two moons old. Her emotions were always on edge these days. From taking care of four kits to a mate that acted as if the kits didn't exist.
"Ow!" Bronzekit meowed. Her two brothers had pinned her down. Soon a small blur of silver fur rushed toward the pile. Silverkit slammed into her two brothers and shoved them away from Bronzekit. Then Silverkit quickly retreated toward the medicine cat's den with Bronzekit on her heels. The two toms laid there in a confused pile.
Frostheart looked at the camp entrance. A patrol was returning. Lionclaw lead the patrol. Frostheart glared at him. He didn't turn to look at her but instead walked over to the leader's den.
Frostheart looked away. She then looked over to the medicine cats den. All four kits had vanished. She stood to her paws and entered the medicine cats den. Three of the kits were near the entrance tossing a moss ball. Frostheart looked around for the fourth.
Bronzekit sat next to Mountainpeak as Mountainpeak pointed to some herbs. Frostheart walked over. "... And this ones callled poppy seeds. They are used to help with pain and help cats sleep." Mountainpeak spoke. Mountainpeak them looked up. "Oh! Frostheart I didn't see you there!" Frostheart stifled a giggle. "Thats alright its just time for the kits to head back to the nursery. The suns setting." Mountainpeak nodded. Frostheart herded to her kits out of the den and toward the nursery. "Can I go back tomorrow?" Bronzekit asked. "If its alright with Mountainpeak." she answered as she pulled the kits into the nest with her. The kits nuzzled against her as the family fell asleep.
