It was late, so late that the birds didn't chatter and the crickets had put down their instruments. Whitekit couldn't sleep, he was to disturbed by his thoughts. He couldn't understand why the information bothered him so much. What were his parents talking about?
Whitekit sighed and tried to sleep, but was only roused by his mother a few moments later.
"Stormkit, Whitekit, wake up." Littlebird whispered. Whitekit blinked.
"Wha-" He tried to ask, only to be lifted out of his nest onto the nursery floor by his neck fur. Littlebird picked up Stormkit and gently pushed Whitekit out of the nursery. Whitekit was confused. When they had gone outside the nursery Whitekit saw Yellowheart guarding the entrance.
Littlebird headed straight toward her. Yellowheart blinked at her.
"Tonight is the night?" Yellowheart asked. Littlebird nodded, her voice would have been muffled by Stormkit if she tried to speak.
"Be safe." Yellowheart said sadly. Whitekit was curious. Yellowheart knew what was going on? Why was she letting them leave camp?
His mother pushed him through the camp entrance and they walked through the forest for what felt like hours. Whitekit had been switched out with Stormkit.
He looked down at his brother only to see him mesmorized by the forest. Whitekit didnt like this situation at all.
Littlebird stopped though and placed Whitekit down. She looked around and growled.
"Come out Dewfur." She ordered. Suddenly a white tom jumped down from a tree above them.
"You wont stop me." Littlebird immediately said. Dewfur glared at her.
"Im not here to stop you. You aren't taking these kits." Dewfur said. Littlebird was going to retort but stopped when she saw Whitekit walk to his father. Dewfur watched and looked back up to her.
"See, they dont want to leave the clan like you. Don't ruin their futures." He said. Littlebird hissed.
"Fine take Whitekit. I dont care what you have to say. Stormkit is staying with me." Littlebird said. Before their father could retort she scooped up Stormkit and dissapeared.
Dewfur sighed and picked up Whitekit and carried him back to camp.
