The Sight

 * Hollykit and her brothers, Lionkit and Jaykit, are born to Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw. She is seen playing with a dead mouse with her brothers.


 * While Brambleclaw sends out patrols to search for the fox dens, Hollykit, Jaykit, and Lionkit ask Brambleclaw if they can help by tagging along on the patrols. Brambleclaw tells them he wants them to help guard camp. Hollykit and Lionkit are excited at first, but Jaykit claims that Brambleclaw was only trying to keep them busy, and out of the warriors' way so, their excitement quickly fades. The three kits decide to find the fox cubs' den on their own to prove that they are important to the clan and hope to become apprentices faster. They sneak of the camp through the dirtplace tunnel and head towards the lake. They are almost found by Brook and Stormfur, but they hide in a bush, so that they aren't visible to other cats. The three kits reach the Sky Oak and find the fox den. Lionkit decides that they should raid the den through the escape passage. The fox cubs turn out to be much bigger than expected, and they almost kill the kits.


 * They escape, but Jaykit, who is blind, falls into the hollow. He is found by Whitewing and Leafpool and immediately taken to the medicine den. Jaykit is diagnosed with severe injuries. Hollykit and Lionkit get in a massive amount of trouble with Firestar, Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw. They are told that for the rest of their kithood, they must always tell Ferncloud or Daisy where they are, otherwise Firestar will delay their apprenticeship. When Hollykit goes to visit Jaykit, Leafpool, seems to encourage her to become a medicine cat after she shows worry for her kin as Leafpool takes care of him. Hollykit contemplates being a medicine cat, wanting to be the best she can be for her Clan.


 * When Lionkit goes into the hollow and returns covered in thorns, Hollykit rushes to get herbs from Leafpool, without checking with Ferncloud or Daisy. Leafpool is not in the den, but Jaykit tells her which herbs to get. Leafpool comes back and she is delighted that Hollykit knew which herbs to use. Jaykit says she remembered the smell from when he was treated.
