They had been traveling for three days, making very slow progress. The first day and a half seemed fun. Oceankit had shared stories of ForestClan and her past. When asking Wavekit about her past, she claimed she didn't remember and mumbled on. Snowkit knew she was hiding something though. But now they were on day three of their journey and Oceankit and Wavekit seemed to speak less and less, walking in silence most of the time.

            "So....nice weather," Snowkit pointed out, for the fifth time that day.

            No one spoke. They just continued walking in front of Snowkit, not even glancing back to check if she was still behind them.

            "So, you're going to SnowClan. That's cool. I've never heard of SnowClan before," Snowkit admitted.

            "That's because you don't even live near SnowClan," Wavekit hissed.

            Snowkit stopped, taken aback by the kit's harsh words. She began to walk again, watching the ground, not even bothering to look up.

            Despite the fact that Snowkit traveled with two other kits now, she still felt abandoned. What had seemed like a good friendship had turned into the relationship that Snowkit had with her siblings, though Oceankit and Wavekit weren't harassing Snowkit.

            "I was named after my mother," Snowkit brought up a few minutes later, trying to break the silence.

            "Is your mother dead?" Wavekit grumbled.

            "No, she's alive. Her name is Snowfeather," Snowkit said, almost beginning to tell a story of her mother.

            "Well then that's stupid that you're named after her," Wavekit mumbled.

            Oceankit slapped Wavekit with her tail then quickly turned around, checking to see if Snowkit had heard her comment, which, she had.

            "So, is there a reason that you're coming with us to SnowClan?" Wavekit asked as the sun stretched above them, indicating it was the middle of the day.

            "I don't have a clan to go to," Snowkit said. "SnowClan seemed like a good place. Plus, my name is in it," she giggled.

            Not a sound echoed from Oceankit or Wavekit's mouth.

            After awhile, Snowkit began to feel a grumble in her stomach. "My am I starving!" she laughed.

            Wavekit stopped then turned around. "Well, I guess we could go get some food."

            "Okay," Oceankit squeaked. "Go catch us some fish, Snowkit."

            "But, shouldn't you guys catch your own food?" Snowkit suggested.

            "You said yourself that you could catch fish," Wavekit said. "And we decided to let you in this traveling group. The least you can do is get us some food."

            "Oh, okay," Snowkit said, shrinking down. She went off, trying to find a river or stream nearby.

            Snowkit growled, as she searched around, tossing a stick into a rock as she padded by. What was the matter with these two kits?! They had seemed so nice, but now they were just using her!

            Frustrated, Snowkit sat, her teeth bared at nothing. Anger surged through her mind and pelt.

            Out of pure frustration, Snowkit bellowed, "WHY AREN'T YOU HERE, MOTHER?!"

            Pacing the ground, Snowkit hissed and growled, not even daring to look for a river or stream anymore. She dug her claws into the fresh soil, growling at such rage...She stopped. What was she doing? She had promised herself that she would never kill a cat. This was the kind of anger and rage that could kill a cat.

            Snowkit shook the thought away. She had never been that angry before in her entire life. She sighed. It was probably because she had been holding most of the anger in, not releasing it until now.

            "You have to catch some fish now, Snowkit," she reminded herself. "Behave, Snowkit," she said, almost tearing up as she thought of her dear mother, Snowfeather.

            Snowkit looked around the forest, not even recognizing it anymore. She pricked her ears, not even hearing a stream nearby.

            Following the scents of her "friends", she came upon the two whispering to each other. They stopped immediately, seeing Snowkit.

            "Where are the fish?" Wavekit asked.

            "There are no streams nearby," Snowkit said.

            "But we're hungry," Oceankit whined.

            "Fine, go catch a squirrel then," Wavekit said, shooing Snowkit back into the woods.

            Growling, Snowkit padded back into the woods, looking for a squirrel. She sniffed the air, sniffing a rabbit. It wasn't a squirrel, but it was still prey. Snowkit leapt, stabbing her claws into the rabbit.

            As she stabbed her claws in the rabbit, she slightly felt her anger drift away. She continued, slicing the dead rabbit with her paws until her claws and paws were coated in red blood.

            Snowkit stood back, seeing the rabbit that had been sliced in so many places. Of course she couldn't eat it now. What was she doing? She laid down, her tears soaking the blood away from her paws.

            "I didn't ask for this, StarClan!" Snowkit wailed. "Why aren't you helping me?"

            She sighed, feeling sympathy for the rabbit that had died for nothing. Snowkit dug a hole, burying the dead rabbit inside. "I'm sorry," she whispered, covering the hole up.

            "SNOWKIT!" Snowkit heard a loud call.

            "Mother?!" Snowkit gasped, only hearing the noise, but seeing no cat.

            "WHAT?! NO IT'S WAVEKIT! HAVE YOU GOT THAT SQUIRREL YET?!" Wavekit groaned, her voice muffled from a distance.

            "ALMOST!" Snowkit yowled.

            She paced around, looking for a good piece of prey. She stopped and crouched, seeing a mouse nearby. Snowkit pounced, catching the mouse between her paws. She steadied herself, only hitting the mouse once, enough to kill it.

            With the dead mouse in her mouth, Snowkit padded back to Wavekit and Oceankit who sat on the ground, grooming each other.

            "That's not a squirrel," Oceankit complained.

            "There weren't any squirrels," Snowkit said, dropping the dead mouse at her paws.

            "Ew! Is that blood on your paws?!" Wavekit gasped.

            "Well...yes, but I was just..." Snowkit stopped. "I was..."

            "You ate another piece of prey without us!" Oceankit hissed.

            "No, no, I didn't," Snowkit said.

            "Don't lie, Snowkit. We'll take that mouse," Wavekit said, grabbing it before Snowkit could grab it.

            "But, really. I'm hungry. I haven't had anything!" Snowkit argued.

            "Yeah, right," Oceankit said, biting into the mouse with Wavekit.

            "Look, we're an alliance of cats," Wavekit said. "We're like warriors. And we share prey. Or well, you get the food, and give it to us. Then, you can eat some food. As for your punishment, you can't have any dinner tonight."

            "You're not leader!" Snowkit said. "And I didn't eat anything! Are you trying to kill me?"

            "I am leader. Only I know how to get to SnowClan. I can kick you out of this group easily, so I suggest you shut your mouth!" Wavekit hissed, her voice echoeing loudly.

            Snowkit shrunk down, her blue eyes staring into Wavekit's green eyes.

            "Good," Wavekit said.

            Snowkit sighed as she watched them eat the mouse while she sat, looking longingly at the prey she would never eat.

            Would she survive this whole trip?
