Midnightkit peered out of the nest she shared with Digheart's kits. Her own mother: Dawnwave didn't want her when she came sliding into the nest so Digheart let her sleep with Purrkit, Glumkit, and Drumkit. Midnightkit could hear the whispers of the apprentices in the apprentices' den. 

"Midnightkit should be banished from the clan!" Sunnypaw mewed scornfully.

"I know right? But what if she becomes leader one day? She might banish US!" Midnightkit recognized the voice of Divepaw, the small grey she-cat deaf in one ear.

It was Desertpaw's time to butt in. "Hmph! Like she'll ever become the leader!" Desertpaw mewed scornfully. Midnightkit's feelings were hurt and a wave of sadness swept over her like a river. Midnightkit padded out of the nursery and sat down in the middle of the clearing in the Stormclan. 

"Ah, Midnightkit. What brings you out in the middle of the night?" Fallstar, the leader had padded out into the clearing and plopped down next to Midnightkit. 

"Divepaw, Desertpaw, and Sunnypaw were making fun of me and saying very hurtful things!" Midnightkit squeaked out of breath.

"They will stop eventually. Don't worry, Midnightkit." Fallstar soothed her. Midnightkit looked up at the clan leader and he looked down at her.

"Now, you look very tired so why don't you go back to the nursery?" Fallstar mewed. Midnightkit hadn't noticed it before but now she realized that she was feeling extra tired. She thought that she wouldn't have enough strength in her legs to walk to the nursery on the other side of the camp.

"Here, let me carry you." Fallstar requested as he bent down and picked up Midnightkit by the scruff as she already was yawning. He pushed through the nursery entrance and lay down Midnightkit in Digheart's nest.

"Good-night, Fallstar..." Midnightkit said in-between yawns.

"Good-night my dear Midnightkit..." Fallstar whispered.
