lionblaze is her first born.

when he came out of her, his golden fur shimmered in the sunlight in the way she remembers her mother describing to her when she was a kitten about firestar - "that's why bluestar named him firepaw. because of his fur; i knew at that moment he'd be a thorn in my side with that hype surrounding him." lionkit was gentle with his littermates, allowing them to pin him and bat at his ears despite always being the biggest of the litter.

now he faces her, teeth bared, amber eyes engulfed in so many emotions - rage, sadness, grief, betrayal.

hatred.

"i don't need your help," he tells her, shaking her off. "i'm an adult."

as he turns, she sees what she had feared so many moons before after seeing the warning signs in him (restless nights, sleepy eyes, unexplained gashes): she can swear that she sees a great, dark tabby looming over him, grinning at her.

"he's never been yours, has he? he belongs here, in the darkness between the stars."

hollyleaf is her second born.

she's always been much more observant than her brothers - lionblaze and jayfeather always let their impulsiveness drive them. while they got into heated arguments and chased each other around camp, hollyleaf was always watching, minding them. separating them when they got too rowdy. she wanted to be a medicine cat, deputy, leader. anything to help her clan, to prove what she could do.

now she faces her, deathberries glittering in the moonlight in front of her claws.

after everything - after hollyleaf killed ashfur, after she saw her kit's fur between his claws, knowing she had to do anything to protect her, after hollyleaf told the whole lake her blood parentage - she still is shocked to see her daughter standing there, posed to strike. like the adder that killed honeyfern. like how hollyleaf must've looked seconds before killing ashfur.

she can tolerate hollyleaf's anger. her hatred, even.

but in hollykit's - not hollyleaf, but her tiny, wide-eyed kitten from seasons before - voice, she hears:

"i want you to eat these, leafpool."

and she wonders how she managed to come so far, how she managed to have one of her children hate her so badly that she wanted to kill her.

-

jayfeather is her third born, the runt of the litter.

he was always the smallest, yet the one with the biggest personality. quiet when he wanted to be - so quiet, sometimes you barely could tell he was in the same room - and explosive other times, filling up the space with a few words. he traded his apprenticeship with hollypaw and stayed as medicine cat apprentice for seasons, excelling and becoming the medicine cat thunderclan always needed.

now he faces her, shame and rage etched across his features.

"is that why you named me jayfeather? after him?"

"i-"

"you lied to us, you gave us away," he says, turning his face in disgust. "you named me after a tom who couldn't care a mousetail about me. and now hollyleaf is dead."

leafpool makes a noise between a choke and a sob.
