Lilykit nudges you awake.
"Momma?" She whimpers.

"Yes darling?"

"Why hasn't Tinykit spoke yet?" She rasped.
You sighed and explained that she was mute.
"What's mute?"

"Mute is when you can't speak."
She nuzzles you with her muzzle.
"So I'll never talk to her?"
You give a sad nod.
She looks over to sleeping Tinykit.
"Get some rest you replied."
She sighed and flopped down beside you.

When you were half asleep, Lilykit shot her head up.
"Who was that!" She yowled.
You growled.
"I thought I told you to sleep." 
She frowned and put her head back down.

Just when you were about to fall asleep, Lilykit squirmed beside you.
You let out a small snarl and she stops.
What is going on in her dreams?
Lilykit then let out a tiny gasp and smiled.
She walked over to Tinykit and looked at her in a way.
"Okay what's going on?"
You asked.
Tinykit tried to giggle. Lilykit squeaked out everything,
"Tinykit and me can read each others minds!"
You gasped.
"Really?"
They both nodded.
"Can you see your father?"
Lilykit frowned and asked,
"I though he was dead. Right?"
You nodded and thought for a while.
"That's strange."

"Why? Are we freaks?" Lilykit asked in a panicked tone.
"No! No."
Pebbleshade who was also in the nursery with her kits, Junekit, Palmkit, and Firekit, awoke.
"What's all this noise?" She asked sleepily.

"Oh! It's just my silly kits. Saying they can read minds." You make and excuse quickly.
Lilykit looks at you in astonishment.
"But M-"

"Hush now, we can talk about it in the morning."
She huffed and slept with Tinykit.
Is this their power?

The morning sun flickered through the leaves of the nursery. Lilykit and Tinykit were playing playing moss ball outside. You watch them from inside. Their tiny tails flicked happily.
Tinykit opened her mouth, attempting to laugh. Of course, nothing came out.
She frowned and sat down.
Lilykit looked over her shoulder and ran back to her, abandoning the moss ball.
She sat next to her as if she were talking to her.
Maybe they are talking to each other.
Last night, Nettlestrike left to join Starclan. He said he would be waiting for you up there.

The hunting patrol came back. Kindheart carried a plump vole. Cloudfur held two fish. Hollowheart had a trout, his former apprentice, Newttail, held two young salmon.
"New-leaf always brings more prey!" Cloudfur cheered happily.
They deposited their prey at the fresh kill pile.
"Momma! Can we get the salmon?" Lilykit pleaded. Tinykit begged with her eyes.
"No one's stopping you." You replied.
They raced over to the pile of prey and brought the fish over.

"(Y/N) would you care to go on a hunting patrol?" Cloudfur asked.
