Heartbeat walked around the camp sighing staring into nothing. His heart felt numb. He wanted to be with his kits. A sudden mewing filled the camp. Something was coming fast. Heartbeat turned just in time for a cat to land on top of him. He struggled to get up but their were too many of them. He was doomed, he lied limp. "Victory is ours!" a tiny cry rang through the clearing. Mintkit rolled off her father's stomach. Ripplekit ran over to tumbled over to Heartbeat's face. Soulkit and Mistykit weren't far behind. They stared at their dad. "Is he alright?" Soulkit mewed. Ripplekit put his nose in Heartbeat's face. Just when all the little kits were leaning in. Heartbeat opened his eyes,"Boo!" the kist fell back in alarm. Ripplekit sat up and started licking his puffed out tail down," I wasn't scared!" he claimed. "Oh really?" cried Heartbeat and he toke his paw and gathered Ripplekit close, ruffing him up. Soulkit, Mintkit, and Mistykit laughed at their brother. Hearbeat stood up laughing. Mintkit leaped on Ripplekit and the kits began to run around playing. Heartbeat watched and giggled. Rippednose came from the bushes with Poppykit and Pebblekit coming from the side. Heartbeat ran over to Rippednose," I thought you had forgotten." Rippednose nuzzled back purring almost as loud as Heartbeat. "How could I forget, but it was hard to leave, we are trying to prepare another den for the warriors and the apprentices were running in circle." Poppykit and Pebblekit stood waiting. Heartbeat looked down."Well you two are getting big, you should be apprentices soon." Pebblekit lifted his chin purring," Inkheart said it would be soon." Poppykit ran forward to get closer to her father.
