Lightkit wakes up to the sound of monsters nearby. Her mother and the rest of the camp are still asleep, so she gets up and hurries to wake up the others, once everyone else is up, she goes back to the nursery to get her mother.
Just then, the monsters knock over the back barrier and starts tearing through all the dens. All of the Clan runs out of the camp, forgetting that Lightkit and Lightningbolt are still in the nursery.
Lightkit runs over to her mother, trying to get her out, but just as she gets her mom close to the entrance, the monster runs right over the den, instantly killing Lightningbolt. Lightkit hides under Lightningbolt to try to save herself. The monster rolls away destroying more of the camp.
Lightkit starts wailing for her mother's death. It should have been me, it should have been me. She continued to say to herself.
Just then, the bramble above her began to move, and a black cat pulls her out. The cat then takes her back to his den, and sets her in a fluffy bed.
Lightkit is too tired to look at where she is, and falls asleep.
The cat argues with its mother about her being here, and then the cat comes over and lays down next to her and falls asleep, after he checked to make sure she still had a heartbeat.
