Owlflight stared at the ThunderClan medicine cat, stunned. This cat is my kin? Leafpool looked equally stunned, shocked to find that her daughter even had kits, let alone that they were in WindClan.  Onestar shifted paws beside the she-cats.  

"Perhaps we should call in Crowfeather and your littermates, Owlflight. The young warrior blinked a moment at her leader, before dipping her head in consent. Kestrelflight sped out of the den to fetch the cats. Moments later, they filed into the leaders den. Crowfeather tensed when he saw Leafpool, wariness entering the dark gray warriors eyes. Leafpool rose her head, equally tense. Oakcharge noticed his former mentor's unease, and was immediately wary. Ravenheart looked at Owlflight, then to Onestar, confused. Kestrelflight did not return.

"What is ThunderClan doing in our camp?" Crowfeather growled. Leafpool winced at the coldness in Crowfeather's voice. Onestar gave him a hard stare.

"Leafpool is free to travel as all medicine cats are, Crowfeather. Besides, these young cats are her kin as much as they're yours. She deserves to know that as much as you, after all." Ravenheart's eyes widened as she realized Leafpool was their kin,  Oakcharge started slightly. Owlflight and her siblings knew that Crowfeather took a mate from ThunderClan when he was younger, but none expected the she-cat was the ThunderClan medicine cat. Leafpool brushed against Owlflight's flank as she sat nearer to the young warrior.

"I've come here on a quest from StarClan. I received a prophecy during the last quarter moon. I was told to find thunder in the wind, and came to ask Kestrelflight what he thought of the prophecy. We weren't sure, but I suspect now that the bit about thunder in wind referred to the three of you," she eyes the siblings as she said this, "The rest of the prophecy says to travel to the rising place, where the owl will bring morning on its wings and the leaf will rise."

"What does that mean?" Ravenheart questioned, then asked without waiting for an answer, "Are you really our kin?" Leafpool dipped her head yes.

"I am-was- Hollyleaf's mother," Leafpool's eyes glazed slightly at the correction and even Crowfeather looked away. Leafpool continued, her voice quieter, "I'm unsure about the rest of the prophecy." Oakcharge snorted.

"Obviously the rest refers to Owlflight. She's the most ThunderClan cat in the camp! She can't even catch a rabbit!" Owlflight hissed at her brother, her pelt bristling. Onestar stepped between the two siblings before a fight could break out, a stern look on his face. Owlflight backed closer to Leafpool and Crowfeather batted  Oakcharge around the ears.

"While I disagree with how Oakcharge put it, I must agree," Ravenheart mewed when some of the tension decreased, "After all, the prophecy mentions an owl, does it not?"
Leafpool dipped her head gratefully at Owlflight's sister.

"I thought about that too," she mewed. All eyes turned to Owlflight and she felt the her pelt heat in embarrassment. Does the prophecy really involve me? Before the cats could continue, a loud hiss sounded from outside the den.

"You can't go in ther-"  Buzzardwing's frantic mew was interrupted by a vicious growl.

"Oh no," Oakcharge mewed. Ravenheart moved closer to Owlflight and Leafpool, alarm in her green eyes.

"Owlflight, it's-" her sister was cut off by a furious Nightcloud barging into the meeting  cats.

"What is she doing here," the black she-cat hissed angrily. Leafpool tensed, and the two she-cats glared at each other. Onestar moved from his spot, rounding on Nightcloud.

"What is the meaning of barging into my den, unbeckoned. Nightcloud's ears folded in surprise at her leader's anger. She pauses slightly, before dipping her head at Onestar.
