Hidden Secrets book #1 deadly storm

Chapter one

Then sunlight was spilling out from the trees into the sandy clearing. A grey shekit blinked her eyes awake taking in the brightness, she then stood up and shook her pelt roughly trying to get the dust out of her fur. Her mother looked at her in amusement, come here willowkit, she motioned with her head still smiling. Willowkit bounced over wanting to know what her mother wanted. Willowkit, how did your pelt get so dirty? There's dirt and mud baked in your pelt! Willowkit smiled sheepishly, sorry mossheart, I didn't mean to, I was playing with harekit and frostkit at the pond yesterday, oaksong brought us. Mossheart swallowed back a frown and kept her cool, that's wonderful sweetheart! I'm happy you had so much fun. Willowkit couldn't help but hear the anger in her mothers voice, oaksong was mossheart's former mate and her had found a new mate named moonlily, willowkit liked moonlily just fine, she wasn't mean to her or yelled at her, rather sometimes willowkit felt like she was being treated like a newborn kit. And she wasn't the only ones frostkit and  greykit both felt the same way about their fathers new love interest.  Mossheart smiled but willowkit knew it was fake, she then let mossheart lick out some of the dust and dirt then tried to escape her mothers loving grasp. Willowkit, can you please ask your father to take you down to the stream? Willowkit nodded and bounded away towards the warriors den. The den smelled of earth and the forest filled with even more scents of cats, she recognized her fathers scent. Oaksong? She meowed curiously. Oaksong rose from his nest and padded towards willowkit. Hey willowkit, do you need something? Willowkit nodded, mossheart wants you to bring me and frostkit to the stream to wash off this dirt and dust. Oaksong nodded to willowkit. Suddenly moonlily came from the den and walked towards the shekit and Tom. Oaksong started to purr, willowkit knew why. Hey oaksong she meowed sweetly in a honey sweet voice. Oaksong licked her ear good morning moonlily, willowkit needs to go to the stream because she thought it was alright to go play in the creek last night. Willowkit tried to protest that oaksong had brought them to the creek but she was shushed by oaksong and kept her mouth shut. Willowkit looked down embarrassed and a little angry. Oaksong started up again, moonlily I have to go on the dawn patrol will you take willowkit to the stream for me? Moonlily stared at willowkit with interest then blinked her eyes back to focus, sure I would be happy to. Willowkit rolled her eyes. Come on willowkit moonlily meowed, willowkit could sense the annoyance in her voice, let's head to the stream. Willowkit padded after her, catching a empathetic look from harekit. She blinked at him then pointed to moonlily with her paw she then made a sick face to show harekit how she felt about this whole ' moonlily taking willowkit to the stream to get washed off' situation. When they got to the edge of the camp oaksong snuck a wink at willowkit then turned away. Oaksong could be so annoying! Willowkit followed moonlily into the forest looking at the leaves and trees, she never noticed until now how beautifully leaf-fall was. They stopped at the stream. Willowkit looked at moonlily then went into the water letting the coldness wash over her. Moonlily then meowed to willowkit, your pelt is still really dirty maybe I should help you wash it off? I mean come on grey is a little boring don't you think? Its not bold like the blackness and solitude of my pelt. Willowkit swallowed back a sigh and shook her head, no thanks but thank you for the offer, I like my pelt just the way it is, she added a note of anger at the end. Moonlily shot her an annoyed look, all right willowkit, what ever you say! Willowkit sighed annoyed. After they had left the pond she noticed her father and mother talking about something, mossheart looked angry. Willowkit padded towards them, what's going on? Mossheart shot a dirty look at oaksong, willowkit who took you to the stream to wash up? Willowkit meowed, moonlily did. Mossheart looked at moonlily with disgust. Oaksong tried to calm mossheart down but she continued to rant about how when she asked him to do something for his kit he should do it instead of giving the responsibility to someone else. Willowkit suddenly realized something, oaksong didn't even go on patrol! Willowkit swallowed back tears, her father lied just so he didn't have to help her. She suddenly replaced sadness with anger. She didn't need this half hearted jerk to be her father she would rather have have no fatherly figure in her life, or her sisters. Oaksong looked at willowkit with a "I'm sorry look" willowkit, he tried to start, no! I don't want anything to do with you! You halfhearted mousebrian! She started running to the camp exit, she wanted to be alone right now, she needed to think. You all right willowkit? She noticed harekit's voice. She turned around, oh, um hey harekit, yeah I guess so. Harekit looked doubtful. You sure? Cause back at camp you looked angry. Willowkit swallowed her pride, yeah I was pretty upset my father is a jerk. Harekit nodded reminding willowkit that his father left him and his brother to be in breezeclan. Harekit licked willowkit swiftly on the cheek, let's go back to camp. Willowkit nodded and followed him back to the nursery. Willowkit's sister's were all piled up and sleeping harekit curled up next to Badgerkit and fell asleep as their mother snored quietly. Only willowkit was awake watching her mother,father, and moonlily fight about how willowkit should be raised. Willowkit sighed then fell asleep thinking to herself, why am I always the problem?
