Book 7 - Chapter 4

"Answer me," hissed the cat. "My name is Sun and these are my litter mates Moon, Night, and Star. Also these are my cousins Silver, Blue, Grey, Black and White." "What are you doing here?" The cat asked. "We were looking for someone." "Who?" "We don't know his name but we think that he is our father." said Moon. "What color is his fur?" asked the cat. "Brown," "Brown? Sounds like…." "It sounds like who?" asked Night. "Never mind. This way please. Come see our leader, Darkfinch. I am his deputy. Liontail. Then Hawkpelt's is the senior warrior." The kittens nodded and padded after Liontail. "Darkfinch? You have some visitors. 9 kittens came to the camp looking for a brown tom that they though was their father, and uncle." Darkfinch looked at them curiously. "Can you get my senior warrior then meet me in the clearing outside the camp?" Liontail nodded. "So you are looking to find your father and your uncle here?" The kittens nodded. "So this cat is a brown cat?" The kittens nodded ok. "Dark brown or light brown?" The kittens looked at each other before Sun spoke up, "he was a light brown cat with a darker tail and paws."  "Light brown with a darker tail. Oh, it was Hawkpelt, me senior warrior. Would you like to come and meet him?" The kittens exchanged another glance before nodding and padding after Darkfinch. Darkfinch padded through the brush until he reached a clearing. He flicked his ears and Liontail who sped away to get Hawkpelt. Darkfinch was looking intently at the cats and offered them a spot in his group. The kittens happily agreed only after making sure that Darkfinch would let them keep their names, when they heard a noise in the brush. It was a long white tail, it was sniffing the ground calling the names of the kits. It was Cloud looking for her kits. The kittens looked at each other. Cloud and her patrol burst into the little area and stared as they realized that the kittens were sitting unharmed in a clearing with Darkfinch.
