Leafkit

**Leafkit** is a brown tabby she-cat.

#### Chapter 25

It's noted that Poisonedsap wanted to join her followers for a training session, but Cougarfoot insisted she stay in the nursery with their newborn kits: Gingerkit, Duskkit, Rowankit, and Leafkit, who were born just a few days ago, the morning after Bloodfur and Mistybreeze walked in the forest.

When Mistybreeze tells Bloodfur that Revengeheart has been pressuring her to have kits, Bloodfur remembers how Poisonedsap pressured Cougarfoot into having more kits and wonders if there's a connection.

#### Chapter 26

Bloodfur is still surprised that Poisonedsap came to meet with Deserve, noting that her kits are less than a moon old, but she insisted on leaving them to attend the meeting. She asked Song, who just moved into the nursery, to keep and eye on them. Song asked many questions, though Poisonedsap answers none. Eventually Song agreed to watch the kits.

Poisonedsap tells Deserve she'd like to hold off on the attack until her kits have sharpened their skills, as they'll be participating in the battle. Bloodfur is surprised that she's teaching them battle moves at less than a moon old, but remembers how she did the same with Revengeheart and Swiftstalker. Mistybreeze is shocked as she confronts Poisonedsap about sending her kits into battle, but Revengeheart cuts her off.

#### Chapter 27

Poisonedsap is laying in the grass watching her four kits stumble around. Their eyes haven't opened yet. Gingerkit squeaks that there's so many smells as he sniffs the air. Leafkit stumbles into him and adds that she can't wait to see it all.

Poisonedsap purrs that the sooner their eyes open, the sooner they can start learning to be warriors. Bloodfur silently corrects her, thinking it'll be the sooner they'll be killed in battle.

#### Chapter 29

When the clan allies reach Deserve's camp, every cat but Poisonedsap is there, as she's with her kits.

####  Chapter 30

Swiftstalker hopes that Poisonedsap is protecting her kits.

During the battle in the camp, Swiftstalker is in disbelief when he sees Poisonedsap herding her kits out of the nursery, snarling at them to fight, as it's what she's been preparing them for. Leafkit wails in terror that she doesn't want to and backs up, hiding between her mother's legs and adding that she's scared. Poisonedsap yowls at them in frustration and tells them to go finish Ebonypaw, but they refuse.

After killing Rowankit, Poisonedsap turns to Leafkit and sinks her teeth into her neck. Duskkit wails, asking his mother why she'd want to kill them, while Gingerkit stares at the bodies of his sisters, stunned.

#### Chapter 31

Cougarfoot tells Bloodfur that Poisonedsap killed Leafkit and Rowankit. Bloodfur is shocked, noting that he knew she was a bad cat, but to kill her own kits, she was truly heartless.

When Poisonedsap asks Swiftstalker if he'd kill his own mother, he states that he killed her own kits, one of the reasons she doesn't deserve to live.

Poisonedsap tells Deserve Swiftstalker deserves to die like her other kits who refused to fight. Deserve growls that he has no interest in working with a cat who would kill her own kits.

#### Chapter 32

When Bloodfur awakes in StarClan, Cougarfoot is among the cats judging Bloodfur. He sits with his tail wrapped around Leafkit and Rowankit.
