Applebreeze noticed the menace in his voice and decided to not argue, Oh my precious babies, I hope nothing happens to you! She rushed to the nursery and saw her kits sleeping. She woke each of them and said, "Let's go see your father, he's outside of camp so you have to keep a secret okay?" She mewed.
Spiderkit was the first to get up, eager to head off. Dawnkit soon followed, but Sagekit looked up wide-eyed, "Isn't outside of the camp dangerous?" She fretted. Applebreeze comforted her and led her out of the den. They began to make their way out of camp.

They had reached Outlook Rock and the kits were extremely tired. They plopped down to rest while Applebreeze stalked up to Goldenbreeze, "Why did you want me to-" he clawed her across the face. She backed off and the kits started whimpering.
"You don't seem to love me like you used to!" He snarled. Applebreeze used her tail to brush the kits under her belly. Goldenbreeze bent down and used a claw to lift up Spiderkit's chin. He started whining.
The other kits tried to get further in the ground when Goldenbreeze launched himself at Applebreeze. She tumbled over leaving the kits in the open. Applebreeze cried out. Goldenbreeze took a quick glance at them, "I would never hurt a kit. I just want revenge on you."
She unsheathed her claws and leaped on his back scratching deeply into his skin. Ignoring the searing pain on her side from the wound on the mountain so long ago, she jumped back just in time to let Goldenbreeze's claws hit the earth and not her muzzle.
The kits began yowling and Goldenbreeze gave them a look that silenced them. Applebreeze jumped on him and they began tumbling over and over. She struck his throat and he reared up and crashed down on her, "Traitor!" He screeched.
The kits began yowling again, louder. That alerted a patrol. They came over to the kits and then realized the two cats fighting. Cats were trying to break them apart but Applebreeze dealt the final blow which cut through his throat. Ryestalk dropped Goldenbreeze as he began choking. Everyone focused their attention on Applebreeze.
Applebreeze kept her claws unsheathed and her eyes glittered with menace and hate, "Come on kits, we're leaving-" Ryestalk cut her off, "Certainly not to WindClan camp! You just murdered our Clanmate!"
Applebreeze turned her ice cold green gaze on her, "I never said to the WindClan camp did I? I'm going to take my kits wherever I can. Far away from the Clans, and they're going to learn the way of how to hate the Clans. Tell Amberflight I love her, and she won't see me again. Goodbye."
Spiderkit, Sagekit and Dawnkit were shaking as their mother led them away from the battle scene, the patrol dragged Goldenbreeze's dead body back to their camp. Applebreeze sheathed her claws and slowed down her pace so her kits could catch up.
