Rosebreeze woke up to a small prodding in her side. She slowly opened up her soft dewy green eyes, only to be met with a pair of orange and gold ones staring at her. She was confused for a second before it finally hit her who was staring down at her. That cat was none other than her mate, Minnowflame. The small tom was obviously trying to wake her up for some reason that she could not fathom at this time of night.

" Minnowflame... what in StarClan are you doing...?" Rosebreeze managed to grumble out, still not pleased about being awakened. The small tom's eyes listened with happiness at hearing her talk. At that, he stopped prodding her and sat back.

" Need to talk with you privately, outside the camp. Bring the kits," Minnowflame quickly said before getting up and leaving. Leaving so quick that Rosebreeze missed the deadly glint to his eyes. Too quick to even protest. Seeing that there was no room to argue with other cat gone, Rosebreeze pulled herself to her paws, looking down at the five small bundles of grey and brown fur.

One by one, Rosebreeze slowly woke up the kits, who were not too pleased to be woken up at this hour. The runt of the litter, a tiny brown she-kit with soft orange eyes named Flykit, had to be carried as she refused to do anything at this hour. The other four, Juniperkit, Emberkit, Cliffkit, and Ashkit, weren't all that much better than Flykit, but at least they were willing to walk. So, with all the energy she had, Rosebreeze corralled all her kits outside of the nursery and out of the camp.

To most, they wouldn't know where to go, but this wasn't the first time Minnowflame had wanted to talk outside of camp. Eventually, she managed to get all her kits to the normal meeting spot, which was a small clearing that was by the river that ran through DewClan territory. Not to her surprise, Minnowflame was sitting in the clearing, staring at the river while he waited. However, he wasn't the only one there. The other five also sat on the riverbank.

Chaosstar was the first to notice Rosebreeze and her kits, turning towards the six newcomers with a sadistic grin that she always sported during night time meetings. However, for the first time, the grin felt off, as if it was aimed towards Rosebreeze. Silverthorn also turned around after noticing their half-sister turn to look at Rosebreeze. Their face was expressionless as ever, giving Rosebreeze a very uneasy feeling.

" Minnowflame, Rosebreeze is here," Silverthorn said with a monotone voice, prompting the tom to finally turn around. Minnowflame's expression wasn't the normal bubbly one he always sported. It was a calmer one. One that looked very familiar in a way that puts a bad taste in her mouth.

" What's going on? Why are you five also here? And why do the kits need to be here?" Rosebreeze asked, becoming more paranoid the longer she talked and looked around. Duskwing, Robinflame, and Icefall just looked at the other three cats, as they were just there to spectate the event. Minnowflame let out a small sigh at his mate's ignorance, not that he actually cared. He had only taken her as a mate and kept in his disgust of what he had to do, all for this moment.

" Isn't it obvious, Rosebreeze? I mean, knowing our background, why wouldn't we want to start a mafia?" Minnowflame asked her without a care in the world. Rosebreeze took a step back, eyes now glancing around at the cats in the clearing, noticing the amount of claws she saw.

" B-but why? We've started a life, a normal one at that. Why destroy it?" She couldn't hide the sheer panic in her voice, as the feeling wrapped around her, her kits getting it from the sheer terror they felt from their mom.

" You might have, but not the six of us," Silverthorn cut in, their blue eyes staring straight into Rosebreeze's soul, " And now, it's time to get rid of you."

Rosebreeze whipped around to run, screeching as she was met by Chaosstar's claws. The searing pain shocked the she-cat just enough for Silverthorn to pounce on her. For a while, all that visible was the fur flying through the air in a flurry along with blood and flesh. Along with it was Rosebreeze's shrieks, a piercing, terrified cry for help. However, those soon died out and once all the dust settled, it was a bloody scene.
