CHAPTER 10
Leafpool dropped the herbs she wascarrying and looked down at the creamy-furred she-cat. “Cinderpelt says you need to eat these.”
Daisy blinked up at her from sleepy blue eyes, lifting her head from where she lay among the thick moss2 in the nursery. In the two days since they came to the camp, she and her kits4 had almost recovered from their exhausting journey. Daisy had groomed5 her fur back into soft silkiness, while her three kits were curled up together in a purring heap. “You’re all so kind,” Daisy murmured. She chewed up the herbs obediently, wrinkling her nose against the pungent6 scent7.
Careful not to disturb them, Leafpool bent8 to check the three kits. “They’re beautiful,” she mewed. “Have you given them names yet?”
“Yes. The one with cream fur like mine is Berry, the bigger gray one is Mouse, and the smallest one is Hazel.” Daisy rested her tail softly on each kit3 as she named it.
“Those will work very well as Clan10 names,” Leafpool told her. “Here they’ll be Berrykit, Mousekit, and Hazelkit. I’ll let Firestar know.”
She thought Daisy looked a bit doubtful, as if she wasn’t sure she wanted her kits to be part of the Clan, but before she could say any more Ferncloud crept in through the entrance with a mouse in her jaws11.
“I’ve brought you some fresh-kill,” she meowed to Daisy, placing the mouse next to her. Purring, she settled down in the moss beside the kits. “They look fine now. I’m sure you have enough milk.”
Leaving them to discuss the kits, Leafpool said good-bye and emerged into the clearing. The weather was still gray and cold, and the trees above her head clashed in the wind.
