1. Prolouge
A grey, thick furred tom kit stalked a a brown she kit. He pounced and jumped onto her, but she shook him off. "You can do better than that Wolfkit, can't you?" she asked. Wolfkit headbutted her. "Oh come on Finchkit!" Wolfkit said. Finchkit put on her best growl and lunged at her brother. They tussled, until they saw another kit, a ginger tom, tackled both of them. "No fair!" Wolfkit cried.

"It was so fair!" the ginger tom said.

"You never who's going to attack you Wolfkit" Finchkit said. "So it's pretty fair that Adderkit tackled you over."

"I tackled you over too Finchkit" Adderkit said. Finchkit crouched, as well as Wolfkit. Adderkit lunged at his siblings. Wolfkit grabbed Finchkit with his tiny fangs. Adderkit pushed him over and Wolfkit released Finchkit. "Alright, I'm tired" Finchkit said. "Let's go and see Daddy!"

"Yeah" both of her brothers said. They ran to the clearing.

"Daddy!" Wolfkit yelled. A brown tom looked at his kits.

"Hello you three!" the brown tom said.

"Daddy, where's Mummy?" Finchkit asked.

"She's still in the nursery" he said. "Now go to her. I'm a little busy."

"Alright Daddy!" all three of them said and they raced to a den near a fallen tree.

"Hello Duststar" a voice said from the shadows.

"Spiderclaw! So glad you could join us!" Duststar said. The black tom with the white underbelly came out. "Did they fall for it?" he asked.

"Of course" Spiderclaw said. "They were far too grief stricken to realise that I don't have a white tail tip or paws. Also, I have a nick in my right ear, not left." Duststar gave a cackle.

"HawkClan is just so gullible" he said.

"I have some bad news though" Spiderclaw said. Duststar looked at him.

"What?" he asked, looking at his deputy.

"Newtstar is the leader of HawkClan now" Spiderclaw said.

"Newtstar?" Duststar asked. Spiderclaw nodded. Duststar went distant. He thought about all the feelings he had for his brother. The happiness he felt when he was around him in kithood. The anger he felt when he found out about how he was going to be leader instead of him. The crushed feeling he felt when he lied to him. And the sadness he felt when their bond broke in two. However, he shook it off. "Don't worry Spiderclaw" he said. "Once we're done with HawkClan, Newtstar, Mallowflower, your kits and HawkClan will be gone."
