It had been a long day, having to follow around the two young kits around the camp all day, and scolding them for just about everything they did. They'll learn one day, she thought, as her ear twitched. Some cats - the sunset patrol - were entering the camp. She heard Soaringstar meow: "Do you mind going and seeing Rosefall? We need to tell her to please take care of this kit. She will probably let you, but please ask her anyway." "On my way," a voice mumbled, it sounded like Specklewing. "Why?" she asked.

It had been a long day, having to follow around the two young kits around the camp all day, and scolding them for just about everything they did. They'll learn one day, she thought, as her ear twitched. Some cats - the sunset patrol - were entering the camp. She heard Soaringstar meow: "Do you mind going and seeing Rosefall? We need to tell her to please take care of this kit. She will probably let you, but please ask her anyway." "On my way," a voice mumbled, it sounded like Specklewing. What's this about a kit? She opened her eyes and raised her head. Specklewing was at the entrance, a dark brown tabby she-kit in her jaws. To make sure it wasn't Fennelkit, she looked down. Her tabby she-cat - with such a strikingly similar appearance - was at her bally, nestled near the light brown tom that was Harekit. "Rosefall, can you please look after this kit?" Specklewing meowed, dropping the kit at her paws. The dark tabby mewled - she could smell the scent of milk on Rosefall. "Why?" she asked. "We found her alone while we were on patrol. There was stale cat scent around her. If she was left alone overnight, she would probably be dead by now. "Of course I'll take her," Rosefall mewed. "What's her name?" "Wren," the black-and-ginger she-cat meowed. "I'll let Soaringstar know about your decision." She then turned and padded out again. Rosefall moved Wren close to her. The she-kit mewled, and moved towards her belly, pressing her small body onto Rosefall's belly. Should I tell her? a voice asked. No. It would be her secret from her. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Wrenkit! Wrenkit!" She watched the Clan cheer for her adopted kit. The dark tabby looked scared, nervous - not used to being around groups of cats. Soaringstar, the Clan leader, dismissed the meeting after the newly named Wrenkit had edged back to her. Lilyleaf started to organize patrols: "Sparrowsong! Take Rainpaw, Molewhisker, and Tangleleap with you on a hunting patrol." The dark tabby tom - her mate - nodded to Lilyleaf, and Rainpaw, Molewhisker, and Tangleleap followed him swiftly out of camp. Meanwhile, Harekit had started a play-fight with Wrenkit, and they were rolling around the camp - the middle of it. "You two! Don't fight there!" Rosefall meowed. The two kits jumped apart, and scurried back to her.
