I woke up with a jolt, the bright sun stinging my eyes. As I looked around, I noticed a black kit was sleeping beside me while a black she-cat protected us with her fluffy tail. They aren't my kin... I realized, hopping out of the nest and leaving the nursery. I expected to see ShadowClan cats there but instead unfamiliar cats were mingling loudly.

A light brown she-cat came toward me, her fluffy fur bouncing as she trotted. "Good morning, Blackkit! A fine morning, isn't it?" She mewed cheerfully. I dipped my head and stalked away. Fluffyberry. A voice said in my mind.

"Your back needs to be straight!" A toms voice growled from behind me. I whipped around and looked up. A fluffy white Persian stood there, face serious and chin high. "Yes, you. Stand up straight like everyone else. No son of mine will be less than formal." I tilted my head to the side and decided to question him. "Why? I don't want to." I huffed.

"Don't want to, you say?" He scoffed, stepping forward and flicking his extremely fluffy tail. "I say, you are some rude, my dear. You do not question SassyClan's ways. Now stand up straight!" Fabuloussir. The voice told me.

Fabuloussir? He doesn't look or sound so fabulous to me! I stood up straight and waited for him to leave before I sat down, slouching. I looked around the dense camp, pine trees and thorns making a circle. Memories of names came to me as I glanced around the unfamiliar - yet familiar - campground.

Bitchlord and Sparkleheart were sleeping in a warm patch of sun, one of the only patches you could find. I watched Thefeelsarerealheart pad past the two she-cats and then flip onto the ground with a howl of pain. My ears went straight up and my eyes widened. Rainyrain tore over to her with a shocked expression.

"Thefeelsarerealheart! Are you okay? What's wrong?" The distressed tom gasped, nudging the she-cat as she looked at the sky with pain in her gaze. "The... Feels... So painful..." She croaked.

The growing crowd of SassyClan cats departed when they found out it wasn't anything serious. I rolled my eyes while Zombiekit shook his head. I jumped as I realize I wasn't alone. "She's so dramatic over the smallest things! I'm glad Donottouchmefur isn't like her," Zombiekit grunted with a hint of sass in his tone. Do all these cats talk with sass? "She-cats are annoying." I snarled, standing up.

"Wanna bug Whatchawantdaddyseed? He's a riot when he's angry!" Zombiekit insisted, hopping toward a smaller cave than the one beside it. I nodded eagerly and trotted after... Who is he to me? I wondered. As if someone was in my head, I got my answer. Your brother.

Makes sense since he was sleeping with me. I thought as I scampered after Zombiekit into the dim, bitter-smelling den. The dark tortoiseshell tom sat with his back to us, focusing on what I had guessed was herbs. He turned around as we entered, his blue eyes lighting up when he met eyes with us.

"Whatcha want lil' kits?" Whatchawantdaddyseed purred after he stood up. I let Zombiekit do the work.

Without replying, Zombiekit kept his eyes on the medicine cat while he crept around him. The medicine cats' gaze darkened as my brother neared the herbs. Head turning to follow Zombiekit's every move, Whatchawantdaddyseed narrowed his sparking blue eyes at him. "Don't, you, dare." Zombiekit's front paw lifted from the ground and slowly went toward the leaves that were carefully piled. "Zombiekit, DeadClan help me I will tear. Yo. Ears. Right off ya head if ya don't get to filthy paws away from ma herbs." The medicine cats' fur began to spike up. I couldn't help myself but purr.

Whatchawantdaddyseed let out a yowl as Zombiekit flicked the herbs out of their original place. "Run!!" My brother screamed. I kicked at the dirt in a desperate attempt to dash and tore out of the den with Zombiekit at my side. My heart was pounding and my head was racing as the adrenaline pumped through my veins.

Whatchawantdaddyseed's scream for Zombiekit went quiet once we entered the nursery. Donottouchmefur barely moved as we snuggled up next to her warm and welcoming tummy. Out of breath, we panted like a dog for many heartbeats before we spoke.

"Did you see the look on his face?!" Zombiekit finally purred loudly, his eyes filled with pride and satisfaction. I nodded. "He was so angry! That was great!" I gasped and he nodded eagerly.

"We have to do that again!" I insisted, leaving the nest on shaky paws.
