  A silver gray she-cat was laying down in the nursery, next to her was a gray tom and a calico she-cat. Suddendly the calico she-cat meowed happy.

"-Congrats, Stormstar! You have 2 kits! A tom and a she-cat!"

Stormstar groomed her newborn kits. Greypelt came closer and he licked his mate's ear, he whispered slowly "Congratulations!"

Leaffall was watching the two parteners and their kits and she asked them polietly:

"-So....what are you going to name them?"

Greypelt pointed his nose towards the tom and said:

"-This one shall be named....Stormkit, and will name his sister Greykit."

"-Those are wonderful names!" said Leaffal happily.

A small brown kit entered the den and started screaming in joy:

"-Mom, dad! The kits are here! Can I play with them??? Pleaseee??"

"-No, Deerkit, they are too small. You cannot play with them yet." said a light brown tom who entered the nursery.

"-Your father is right. You could hurt the kits, you're a few days older then them." said a white and black she-cat that entered the den.

Deerkit looked dissapointed and curled up in his bed, he felt the soft fur of his lovely mother. 

Suddendly a white she-cat rushed into the nursery looking kind of stressed. The she-cat approched Stormstar and started saying:

"-Stormstar! There is- "she stopped and saw the kits, she changed the subject congratulating Greypelt and Stormstar and their new litter of kits.

Stormstar nodded towards the white cat and said calmly:

"-What is the thing you wanted to tell me, Snowpelt?"

Snowpelt stared for a second at something...or someone outside, then she took a deep breath and continued.

"-There is a black tom with gray stripes outside, he has...loads of scars and brown eyes. He says he wants to join Stormclan...but I don't think that's a good idea...he kind of scares off the other cats in camp...espicially my apprentice, Sharppaw. I wanted to ask you....Shall I let him in?"

Stormstar groomed herself then looked Snowpelt in the eyes.

"-Yes. Let him join Stormclan."

"-Are you sure that's a good idea? Maybe we shouldn't let him in....he might...I don't know...turn out to be evil or something!"

"-When you joined the clan you were the same, I didn't really trust you and look at you now! You're clan deputy. You endded up being a good cat! Of course you should let him in."

Snowpelt was embarassed by her leader's words....but she nodded and decided to go and tell him he can join, when once of a sudden, Leaffal stops her and asks polietly:

"-What is his name?"

"-Er...Dragon...why you ask?"

Leaffall's eyes were filled with horror and she remained shocked....her head wa sfilled with thousands of question...it almost soundded like she was telling them out-loud, "How did he find me?", "Why is he here?", "What do I do now?".

Snowpelt realized Leaffal was stunned and she could smell her fear, so she asked her:

"-Hey...? You okay there? You seem....paralyzed...", but before she could say anything Leaffall just said a simple  "Yes." then left the den as fast as she could, rushing through the camp, avoiding eye contact with the newcomer, and entering her den.
