Trapped in a good book

“What!?” Tangle Claw couldn’t figure the situation out. “He’s... you’re... brother?!”
“Yep...and he’s all yours!” Silver Claw trotted off back towards her brother to sit down. She sat up straight in triumph, knowing that her friend's insults had backfired.
“Wait, how is he your brother? I’m so confused.” said Tangle Claw
Black Nose stepped forward to explain. “Well...at least thats what we think... she smells just like our mother...and...I feel some sort of connection between us.” Black Nose looked down at Silver Claw. He was proud to have a sister.
“I...can't believe it...how is it possible?!" said Tangle Claw, still unable to process any of this.
“Uh...well..." Silver Claw was unsure how to explain this to her friend without freaking her brother out. “Um...Black Nose, may I talk to her alone?” asked Silver Claw.
“Uh...yeah sure.” Black Noss was confused. He couldn't figure out what could be so important that she couldn't share it with her own brother.
The two she-cats walked away to the other side of the clearing. “There’s something I left out...there’s possible side effects of the spell...” Silver Claw waited for her friend to react, although she already knew what she would do.
“What KIND of side effects?" asked Tangle Claw with dangerous calmness in her voice.
“Well...” Silver Claw tried to lower her voice, gesturing with her tail that Tangle Claw do the same. “When I read about it in Twilight's book, it said there would be side effects to the spell. Either we totally forget about where we come from...or-” Silver Claw was interrupted by her friend's burst of anger while some how still keeping her voice down.
“Then WHY would you do the spell?! besides, what does that have to do with him?" Tangle Claw flicked her ear in Black Nose's direction while she struggled to keep her tone down to a low pitched hiss.
“I didn't finish, mouse brain!” Silver Claw cuffed her friend’s ear playfully. “Now it's either that, or we might possibly have siblings or relatives in this universe we never knew about!” Silver Claw lowered her head and raised her eyebrows.
“So, like Black Nose?” asked Tangle Claw, starting to feel relieved.
"Yes. Now, can we just pretend to act as if nothing is wrong? Here, you know what? You go hunting with Black Nose, and I'll go find some herbs. I asked Nurse RedHeart what herbs to use for certain things on survival trips, and I got some tips on how to get them from Daring Do.” Silver Claw knew enough about her friend that she would ask how she knew what herbs to get. “And don't worry, I'll build a fort for the stuff. By the way, stay away from the red berries...what are they called? Oh you know what, we’ll just call them...killer fruit. Is that a good name? Yes, okay. Off you go!” Silver Claw waited for no response. She trotted back to the entrance of the clearing and grabbed the vole. She took it next to where the healer’s fort would be and dug a large hole for it to be kept safe in. She remembered what the warriors in her book did, so they did the same thing. She looked over her shoulder to see her friend walking calmly next to her brother.
