Whitekit nodded his tiny head proudly, shivering still as the snow covered his white pelt on his back. "I like Frostwish a lot!" he squeaked, I wish she was my mother instead! he added angrily in his thoughts, wishing he could stamp his tiny feet along with the thought.
But, another voice in his head started, then Tigerkit and Woodkit wouldn't be related to you! The tiny white kit frowned, grudgingly accepting his mother as his mother for now.

Redstorm smiled. He liked this kit's spirit. He used his bushy tail to brush the snow off of Whitekit's back and shielded the kit from the falling snow. The tom then crouched down next to the kit and stared right into his eyes. "Can I tell you a secret?" he asked.

The kit's bright blue eyes flew open, growing twice their own size. "A secret?" he gasped, his ears pricking towards Redstorm. "Yeah! Secrets!" he nodded vigorously, crouching as if he were going to have to jump to catch the secret in the air before any other cat heard it.

Redstorm chuckled. He leaned in closer to make sure no one else could hear. "Well, you see. . . . I love Frostwish, but I don't know how to tell her." he murmured quietly. That was it. The secret was out and it was too late to take it back, even if the only cat who knew was a kit.

"You do?" Whitekit gasped, looking up at Redstorm. His next sentence squeaked a bit too loud. "Me too! I could tell her for us both!" the kit's body squirmed with excitement and his tail stood up. "Where is she now?"

Redstorm froze. "I don't think you understand completely." he meowed. The large tom lashed his tail, feeling a bit awkward now. "What kind of love do you mean when you say you love Frostwish?" he asked slowly.

Whitekit looked up confusedly at Redstorm. "She makes me safe." he whispered back to the warrior, making sure his mother couldn't hear so she wouldn't do something else like try to make him swim in a fishing hole in a snowstorm. "Love like I would bring her prey if she was sick or I would be sad if she was!" Like a mama. he thought to himself.

Redstorm paused for a moment, looking thoughtful. "I feel the same way about her. . . . but also so much more. . . ." he meowed, his words trailing off. He thought about Frostwish. How pretty she was, how smart and kind she was. He loved her so much.

Whitekit nodded, only half understanding where Redstorm was coming from. "Yeah, I get it!" he half-lied. "So, you should tell her! I'm gonna tell her." he decided. "Do you want me to tell her for you? I can!"

Redstorm shook his head. He knew Whitekit probably didn't understand, but he didn't say anything. "No, I'll tell her." Eventually. the tom added in his head. He shuffled his paws.

Whitekit nodded. "Don't forget." he mumbled, replacing his paws over his tiny pink nose and curling his tail around himself. Far off, the wind shifted and carried with it the scents of the cats who had gone hunting. Briefly Whitekit wondered if he was ready to eat solid foods or if he would have to go crawling back to his mother when his stomach could take no more of being empty.

Redstorm sat up and stared at Whitekit sympathetically. He felt bad for the kit. His mother had never abandoned him like that! Maybe I should have a talk with Poppydawn. he thought.

Whitekit looked up at Redstorm, blinking his eyes. "Maybe Frostwish will let me sleep in the warrior's den tonight with her! I'll be like the kit warrior." his eyes lit up with hope and he looked towards the deputy's scent as if she might run back now just to invite Whitekit away.

Frostwish purred slightly at the catch. There seemed to be plenty of fish. Deciding to try herself, she looked down in the water. She waited for awhile, watching the hole intently, until a shadow appeared. She swiftly lashed out at the fish, spearing it with her thorn-sharp claws. She flipped it onto the shore beside of her, and killed it with a quick bite. Frostwish layed it beside her first catch, and glanced at Foxpaw and Iceheart. She motioned towards the pool with her tail, as if asking, 'Who's next?'

Redstorm got up. "Maybe she will." he purred. Then his yellow eyes became serious. "I have to go." he meowed. The red and white tom padded into the nursery. "Poppydawn?" Redstorm called quietly.

Foxpaw padded over to the ice hole and stared at it. The only time she ever moved was when she blinked. She stood there for a little while when suddenly, her paw quick as lighting, she lashed out and grabbed a large fish. She caught it as it fell to the ground and crunched down hard, breaking it's spine and killing it.

Poppydawn turned around, looking at redstorm. "What is it." she said blankly. she sat down, waiting for his reply. she flickered her gaze around the nursery, then back at the tom.

Frostwish nodded to Foxpaw approvingly. She then glanced around at the prey they had caught. Looked like they had enough..."I think we should go back to camp now. We have plenty now." The young deputy meowed, rising to her paws and arching her back in a short stretch. She then reached down, grabbed her prey, and looked back to the rest of the patrol.

Tigerkit twitched his ears, hearing Redstorm's call for Poppydawn. He blinked open his eyes, and glanced up at the warrior. "Who are you?" He squeaked, cocking his head slightly to one side. He was still determined to get to know all of the cats in the Clan, and meeting this cat could help him achieve his 'goal.'

Woodkit was still in a sulky mood when she decided to find her mother. She wasn't sure if she should say sorry or not for running into the wilderness but decided that she might as well to gain Whitekit's fogiveness.

Snowsparrow was stuck in a nightmare again, she was falling, tumbling of the ledge into the deep gaping hole of the pit... she heard the crunch of bones as she hit the rocks down below.... suddenly the shadowy manifestering in her mind growled in its voice, "you'll not escape death a second time...."

Redstorm glanced at Tigerkit. "I'm Redstorm." he meowed. He then turned back to Poppydawn. "Er, can I speak to you in private please?" he asked uneasily. The red and white tom shot a glance at Whitekit. He was ready to fight for this kit's rights. No kit should be abandoned by their mother like that!

Iceheart nodded in agreement and picked up her fish. She noticed Foxpaw stumble with the bird and the fish and took the bird from the apprentice. She heard Foxpaw quietly mutter, "Thanks."

Snowsparrow started thrashing about and yelped out aloud, "nooooo!"

Woodkit glanced up fearfully and eyed the medicine cat's den with wide eyes. She hurried over to Poppydawn.
