((The picture is something I read here on Wattpad, it has nothing to do with this book. xD))

Smoke sighed, knowing he wouldn't win this argument. "Fine... We'll go with her, but I'm not going to trust her until I see a reason why."

Rose smiled. "Of course. Now let's go, I want to get my kits settled in before dark."

Smoke and Rose walked back over to Sparkstream, who looked up at their approach. "Have you reached a decision?"

Rose glanced at Shadow, who nodded. Then she looked at Sparkstream. "We would like to join your clan. It'll be good for our kits, and I don't want to go back to our housefolk."

Sparkstream nodded. "Alright. Riddleclan will welcome you, I'm sure of it. Also, we don't say housefolk. That's kittypet speak. Clan cats say Twolegs, don't ever say housefolk. Now we should go before the sun sets."

Rose nodded and looked at Shadow. "You carry Hawk, I'll carry Shadow and Wind." She glanced at Sparkstream. "Would you carry Spark for us?"

Sparkstream nodded and dipped her head to pick up the tiny kit. She straighten up, the kitten hanging limply in her jaws.

Shadow picked up Hawk, and readied himself to follow Sparkstream to the clan.

Rose glanced at her kits, and picked up Wind and Shadow, then stood next to Smoke, ready to depart as well.

Sparkstream started walking off, with Rose and Smoke following close behind, all 4 kits swinging gently from their respective holders.

----time skip of magicalness, a few pretzels, and a unibuttercatacorn----

They arrived at the camp, and everyone turned to look at them. Sparkstream led the way to the nursery, a small rock overhang with branches and ferns woven together for the sides, to block the wind. She placed Spark in an empty nest.

Smoke placed Hawk beside his sister, and stepped back, so Rose could settle in with the two remaining kits.

Rose set down Shadow and Wind, then climbed in with her kits. The kits woke up and started paddling her stomach with their tiny paws, and started feeding. She closed her eyes and let out a soft purr.

Smoke turned and left, with Sparkstream following close behind him. Once out of the den, Sparkstream turned to Smoke. "You need to come with me, the Riddleclan leader needs to speak with you." She walked off and stopped at the curtain of ivy. "Scatterstar, I need to speak with you. Its about two new potential members for Riddleclan."

An voice, full of authority, sounded from behind the ivy curtain. "Enter."
