Bryce looked up at the sky as the sun started to set into dusk. Littlecloud noticed how depressed he was a said good bye. She ran over to Morningflower who was making a den.
"Mommy, my new friend has lost his mother and sibling." Little mewed with her head hanging low.
"Poor little guy..." Morningflower said giving Littlecloud a lick. "Leaf bare is almost here, sweety."
"What's, 'Leaf bare'?" Littlecloud asked.
"Winter," Morningflower purred. "It'll be cold and snow will come. This will be your first Leaf bare."
Littlecloud looked over at Bryce. The fear in his eyes told Littlecloud that he was scared and wanted his family back.
She noticed a black cat with dark green eyes go into the woods, with another cat fallowing him. She looked just like him, only a kit.
"Mommy, I'm gonna go look for some friends." Littlecloud announced.
"Okay, sweety. Be back before Moon high. (Moon high: Night time)
"Yes mommy." Littlecloud looked at the sky. She had at least a half hour.
She looked over at two kittens wrestling. She could here the brown one meow something.
"You know I'm stronger than you Blazey!!" He hissed.
"Shut up Blake I might win this time!" The other one shouted.
Littlecloud got excited. She loved to play. So she ran over to them.
"Hi!" She mewed.
Blake and Blazey stopped wrestling. Blazey shot up in defense.
"What are you doing in FireClan territory?!" She hissed.
"What? I'm part of FireClan." Littlecloud mewed with scared eyes.
"Blazey, leave her alone. I thought I heard dad tell us about two new cats." Blake said.
"Hmph!" Blazey hissed holding her head up up and tail in the air. She walked away into the den.
"Don't mind her; she's just selfish." Blake meowed.
"It's okay. I got that all the time at my old Clan." Littlecloud laughed.
"I've never seen Leaf bare before. This sounds exciting!" Blake mewed with hope.
"Oh my gosh, where are my manners? I'm Littlecloud." Littlecloud chirped.
"I'm Blake." Blake meowed.
"Yeah I herd your girlfriend say that." Littlecloud said checking the sky for the time.
"GIRLFRIEND?!" Blake asked in shock. "She's my sister!"
"Oops!" Littlecloud laughed. "Well, I'll see you later!"
She jumped up to her paws and ran into Billy, who was on his way to see Blake.
"Oof!" Billy said as he fell to the ground. "Watch it!"
"Sorry." Littlecloud mewed.
"Stupid little brat!" Billy scoffed trotting away.
"Hmph. Well, if I make friends, I might as well make enemies!" Littlecloud hissed.
"Don't mind Billy. He gets the mean and tough stuff from his mom." Blake said.
"Who's his mom?" Littlecloud asked.
"Buttercup. She's one of our toughest cats in the Clan." Blake meowed.
"Oh okay." Littlecloud purred. She looked up at the sky. She hadn't noticed night had fell. "I have to go. See you tomorrow, Blake!"
Littlecloud me Morningflower in their den.
"So, make any friends?" Morningflower asked.
"Yeah! His name is Blake." Littlecloud mewed.
"Good." Morningflower said scooting Littlecloud closer with her paw.
"I made some enemies too." Littlecloud hissed remembering Blazey and Billy.
"Oh that's not good sweety." Morningflower said.
"I know. But if you have friends, your obviously gonna have enemies." Littlecloud meowed falling asleep.
The next morning, Boomer finally came out of the woods. He was done grieving about his losses. He saw that Bryce had fallen asleep by the oak. Boomer went over to him and layed beside him.
"Daddy?" Bryce asked with his eyes half closed.
"Yeah-" Boomer tried to say.
"Daddy! Why have you left me to rot at this dead old tree! You hate me!" Bryce cried.
Boomer was shocked. His scooted Bryce close to him, but Bryce would not meet his gaze.
"Bryce I don't hate you. I love you. And you are the only thing I have left. And don't you think anything different." Boomer purred.
"I just don't understand. The world is so harsh and cruel." Bryce mewed a tiny sad mew.
"It's okay. Same here." Boomer meowed.
"Mommy, my new friend has lost his mother and sibling." Little mewed with her head hanging low.
"Poor little guy..." Morningflower said giving Littlecloud a lick. "Leaf bare is almost here, sweety."
