What do you mean you're leaving?!"
An amber she-cat hissed at a tall, grey striped cat whose forest green eyes pierced through her, making her feel as cold as ice. "Windflight these are your kits! I-I can't leave them fatherless! You don't even care for what I named them?" She screeched, fighting back tears although she already felt the cold ripple of wet tears drench her fur. The queen's fur fluffed up, starting the three tiny bodies that nuzzled against her belly as they suckled, letting out small squeals of retaliation as their mother shuffled in the nest they laid in.

Windflight only snorted, his thin long tail lashed with annoyance and boredom. "That is what I said, Rainfur.." he growled, his low toned voice had a flash of anger in it. "I never wanted these kits and I never will. Poppydawn is in need of a mate anyways. I'm sure you can manage yourself, you're a strong she-cat, I know that you know that." He said with a flick of his tail, his ears stayed pricked, eyes narrowed harshly, the green in his eyes just barley shone through his dark grey fur.

Rainfur gasped, carefully standing up, attempting not to disturb her tiny kittens that laid beside her. "You traitor..I thought you loved me!" She whimpered, she felt too weak to continue her grief filled rant as to why he couldn't leave her. "Fine then..go. You'll be sorry one day, Windflight..from this day on I will never see you again as my beloved mate..but rather the cat that abandoned a queen and her kits..I'll make sure that's how you go down in history, if it's the last thing I ever do!"

So be it then..I'll leave." He said with a happy purr at the end. "Don't think I won't right now..I'm sure Poppydawn could treat me better anyways." He said and turned around. "Fine, you try your best with letting me go down like that..you and one clan's army." He growled before trotting out of the nursery and out of sight, possibly out to hunt or that new mate he promised to find.

Rainfur sighed and plopped down next to her three kits, mewling and thrashing their heads around, crying for the warmth of Rainfur's ginger speckled fur. Once she laid down, she wrapped her busy tail around the three little bundles, each licking their heads and naming them off. "Thrushkit, Tawnykit and.." she paused at her only she kit, a small calico, she was the rowdiest of the group. Rainfur chuckled and touched her nose to her head.
Dapplekit..you Dapplekit..are meant for something in this world..this clan..I know it.."
