Three of Ashheart's kits died in the next moon. Two toms and a she-kit. She had named them Whitekit, Moonkit, and Dewkit. But now they were gone. Only one of her kits remained.
He was a small black tom, with white ears and blue eyes. The queen had named him Nightkit, and watched over him like her life depended on it.
He acted like any other kit, and he played with Rosekit and Leafkit, although he was almost half their size.
Cinderpaw checked in on him daily, making sure he would be okay. She didn't want anything to happen to the small tom, she didn't know what that would do to Ashheart and Shallowleaf. Not after their other kits...
One of the elder got sick as well. Spottedtail got an infected cut while taking a walk, and although Fallowstripe and Cinderpaw did everything they could, he was just not strong enough to fight it off. He joined StarClan shortly after the kits.
The clan was solemn after so many cats leaving them. But slowly they started to recover.
The water continued to fade, and it was dry everywhere. With leaf-bare coming, at least that would mean snow. They could eat that to get water, once there was none anywhere else.
This was the first leaf-bare cats were looking forwards too, but some where still worried it wouldn't be enough.
The clans shared their prey with RiverClan, each bringing them a small portion of what prey they had caught.
It was hard for them, they couldn't hunt for themselves anymore, and what made them RiverClan was gone.
The Clans were in peril, and there was nothing any cat could do about it.
