"What do you want Coloureyes?" Darkfur sighed as she looked up at the grey tom. They sat in a small clearing of Starclan, he had called her away from her siblings to tell her something.

"Ok, um.." He murmured, his paws shifting on the ground. "I'm.. your father..."

Darkfur blinked in surprise. What a strange thing to say. She didn't believe him at all. "Why are you lying to me?"

"I'm not lying." He sighed heavily. "I really am your father."

"How?" She growled.

"I was with Skystar for a really short time." He muttered. "If you want proof then ask your mother, she knows."

"Fine. I'm going to talk to Skystar." She hissed, stalking away.

Darkfur strode through the bushes, emerging into the large clearing where her siblings were lounging in. Skystar was napping in the shade of a bush and she walked right up to her mother and shook her awake.

"What is it Darkfur?" Skystar sighed heavily.

"Is Coloureyes my real father?" She demanded angrily.

"What? How did you find out?!" She hissed, leaping to her paws.

"Coloureyes told me." She muttered, her tail lashing.

"That fox-heart!" Skystar growled. "I told him not to tell you!"

"I'm glad he told me! At least now I know the type of cat you really are!" Darkfur snarled and bared her teeth at Skystar. "You just have to latch onto every single tom you come across, huh?"

"Don't say things like that to me, Darkfur!" Skystar growled.

"I can say what I want!" Darkfur snarled back. "And you can't stop me, mother."

Skystar flattened her ears. "Lower your voice Darkfur! Do not yell at me!"

"No!" Darkfur hissed as her claws scored the ground. "I won't!"

Suddenly there was a paw on her shoulder and Darkfur whirled around, her claws flying for the cat in a blind rage. She tore through fur and skin, blood splattering on her muzzle.

There was a horrific yowl from Skystar and Darkfur let out a gasp as she saw the cat she had clawed was Zeye. The white tom let out a strangled gasp as he fell over, bleeding into the ground.

"Holy Starclan I just killed your fifth mate!" Darkfur gasped.

Skystar growled at her daughter. "Don't be like that!" She darted to Zeye's side worriedly trying to stop the blood. But Zeye had already gone limp.

"Oh no.." Skystar murmured, her eyes wide. "Darkfur how could you do this?"

"I didn't mean to.." Darkfur replied, watching with wide eyes.

The others quickly darted to them and crowded around Zeye with fearful mews. "Is he dead?" Stormwhisker asked, his yellow eyes round with terror.

Suddenly Zeye jolted back to life with a gasp, his neck wound fully healed. Everyone leapt a mile into the sky from fright and Skystar yowled. "You're okay!"

"Of course I am- Oh.." Zeye muttered. "I forgot to tell you what I am.."

And so Zeye gathered the family into a tight circle and explained everything about his species.

After he finished, they were left in a stunned silence.

After a little while, Stormwhisker murmured. "Oooo."

Darkfur was staring in disbelief. "Whoa.."

Roundclaw muttered. "Told you, Whitetail."

Whitetail rolled his eyes at Roundclaw. "Sorry I doubted you."

The other kits were all gasping in awe. Skystar was still staring, speechless. Zeye sat, watching the family take in all the new knowledge.

At last, the white tom murmured. "So... What are we eating for sundown?"
