Lilyheart padded silently into the center of the ThunderClan camp. The pale ginger she-cat sat down next to a slightly darker she-cat and wrapped her tail around her paws. "What are you doing out here so late, Fennelwind?" Lilyheart questioned quietly turning to face the she-cat.

"I wonder if Rosekit is up there," Fennelwind meowed to no one in particular gesturing up to the stars with her tail.

"She is safe with StarClan my dear sister." Lilyheart purred soothingly burying her face in Fennelwind's thick fur.

"I know..." Fennelwind muttered trotting back to the nursery to quiet the wailing kits.

"Tornstar, I'm worried about Fennelwind. Ever since Rosekit died she hasn't been herself." Lilyheart meowed worriedly to the large striped tom.

"Your sister will be fine. She's been through a lot and needs time, Lilyheart." Tornstar meowed reassuringly.

"Well she can't neglect her other kits just because Rosekit is gone! Flowerkit, Dapplekit and Shadowkit are barely getting enough to eat!" Lilyheart exclaimed lashing her tail in frustration.

"I'll talk to Redfrost. She will make sure they get enough to eat." he meowed calmly. "Speaking of Redfrost, you should get some rest. You never know when she will start kitting." Tornstar mewed, his voice now laced with concern.

Lilyheart purred understandingly. Redfrost was his only daughter and he loved her dearly. She will be fine, Lilyheart told herself. So will Fennelwind, Flowerkit Dapplekit and Shadowkit. Everyone will be fine.
