New story! Yay! If you're wondering about Vulcan's Forest, check ;-;. Anyway, read and review!
The story of Silverpaw starts much before her birth, when her would-be siblings died. It was a great day in Sparkclan when it was announced that the queen, Sparkletail, was pregnant with kits.
She looked at her mate adoringly, then they went into Oreclaw's den. She was the medicine cat and she gave Sparkletail come herbs to help with the stomach pain.
She smiled and thanked the feline as she chewed the strong tasting plants.
Oreclaw smiled back before going back to work with the herbs for an elder's peeled paw pad.
The queen and her mate went back to his den, and she said, "Oh, Goldstar, I'm so excited for the kits!"
"Well, I'm glad we will have kits like we have always hoped."
The day was here. Sparkletail was in Oreclaw's den and Goldstar was pacing outside. His tail was flicking back and forth, swishing through the air like a whip, cracking as it turns. One of the other queens, passed by him, going to help, and looking at him sympathetically.
"It'll be okay."
Goldstar jumped and his fur rose, until he settled, looking at his deputy.
"Sorry, Moonheart, just a little jumpy."
She looked at him, smiling gently as his fur fell a little.
"Goldstar!" Oreclaw called.
Goldstar smiled and dashed in. He looked on with shock, face falling a bit. There were three dead kits, and one surviving kit.
"W-What is his name?" the leader asked, voice quivering as much as his whiskers.
"Sagekit." Oreclaw said, as Sparkletail was still in shock.
"Well I'm-" Goldstar was cut of by yowling sounds.
Goldstar turned around and ran out of the den, looking around for the noise. There was a dog!
The dog jumped around and ran towards Goldstar, and instead of swiping at him, was allured by the scents of Oreclaw's den. He got inside, followed by Moonheart, and soon Goldstar.
When Goldstar got there, the dog had been killed by some berries Oreclaw had thrown in his mouth, and when he swallowed them, they killed him instantly.
He looked around. He gasped as he was told the death count.
"4. I-It was your deputy, Moonheart, and a warrior, Fireheart."
He looked down and began to let a tear fall from him face. He raised his head, and asked who the others were. Oreclaw looked nearly hysterical, and choked out the names.
"I-It was….Sparkletail and Sagekit…."
Goldstar's eyes seemed to glaze over as he put his head down, not seeming to breathe.
Many moons later, after consulting Starclan, Sparkclan had a new deputy, and Goldstar a new mate. Even though he was struck with tragedy with Sparkletail, Oreclaw had consulted with Starclan, and eventually the two that Starclan wanted to fall for eachother, fell in love.
His new mate was a bright queen who hadn't given birth to any kits yet, although, now, she was pregnant with Goldstar's kits.
The birth would arrive any day now, and Oreclaw was ready to deliver the kits. She smiled brightly at Sunfur, the one who was bearing.
Then Sunfur's smile quickly faded as her face turned to pain. She cried out as the pain started, and Oreclaw pulled her gently into her den. It was time.
Then scenario was the same as before, pacing, comfort, fear, pacing, nervousness, pacing.
Hours later, Oreclaw happily called, "We are done! Two boys and one girl!"
Goldstar ran in and looked on with happiness.
There was one boy with bright orange fur, almost yellow it was so bright, and he had white on the tip of his tail and paws. His nose was pink, and although he couldn't open his eyes, Oreclaw told them they would be green. His name was Firekit.
The next boy was white, with gray tips on his tail, paws, and face. His nose was deep gray, and his eyes were blue. Out of respect for the fallen deputy, they named him Moonkit.
The girl was a dark gray, white around her face, tail, and paws. Her eyes we gray and her nose was black. Her name was Silverkit.
Thanks for reading, and review please! It means SO much to me. Wolflove out!
