MapleStrike took a deep breath in. It was now or never. Risk it all and tell RiverClan, or be doomed to a life where she could never give her kits the motherly love she wanted to? She’d been gone for days, feeding her kits and nourishing them until they were strong enough to walk and she was strong enough to face her Clan. And today was the day. She gave each of her kits a warm, rough lick to calm both them and herself down, and walked into camp, the mewling kits trotting shakily behind her. MapleStrike could hear the audible gasps as she became visible to her Clanmates, who were sat beneath IvoryStar in the WetRock. A clan meeting. Perfect. IvoryStar wasn’t staring at the kits, like her Clanmates were, but at MapleStrike. ‘ tell me this isn’t what it looks like! Tell me you found them in the woods! MapleStrike, tell me you did not break the sacred rules of StarClan! ‘ she hissed, staring MapleStrike right in the eyes. IvoryStar did not break the stare, but MapleStrike could see the muscle in her jaw tensed. ‘ No! ‘ MapleStrike yowled. ‘ These kits are mine! They have a loner father, and I will not hide anymore! ‘ MapleStrike sat, trembling, with her kits as she and the rest of RiverClan waited for IvoryStar’s reply. ‘ I need a second to think. ‘ said IvoryStar, her tail lashing quickly. MapleStrike nodded. She had done it! She had told her Clan! But what would the outcome be? IvoryStar yowled for silence. ‘ I have made my decision. MapleStrike, for breaking the warrior code, you will be banished from RiverClan, and if you set one paw on our territory.. ‘ she met MapleStrike’s desperate eyes. ‘ then I will k!ll you with my own cl@ws. ‘ she finished triumphantly.
