Prologue:

Lightning crackled and thunder boomed, rain pouring through a hole in the roof of a cave. Above the shrieking wind and crashing storm, however, there were yowls and screeches coming from a hole in the wall.

Inside the hole were two she-cats: a silvery grey and white one and a calico and white one. The calico was murmuring soothing words to the other, who was writhing and screeching, obviously in terrible pain.

Suddenly the silvery grey one let out a much louder scream and a silvery white kit with faint black patches fell onto the feathers of which her nest was made. Right after which a white kit.

The she-cat fell limp, exhausted, perhaps, because of the stress and pain. The calico licked the kits all over, making sure they warmed up and breathed.

"Both she-kits!" She announced once she was done and nudged the kits towards their mother's belly.

The exhausted mother curled around her kits, looking down at them. They were so perfect, so beautiful. She felt contented, peaceful, at the thought that her own daughters were right next to her.

Suddenly, as she was looking at the silvery white kit, there seemed to be ice spreading across her pelt. But when she blinked, it was gone. Mistyheart dismissed it as imagination caused by weariness and let her head drop, asleep within moments.

…..

A pure white she-cat was in the same hole that the silvery grey she-cat gave birth in two moons ago. She, herself, was also having kits.

The she-cat, Winterpelt, the CanyonClan deputy, was being helped by the same cat that helped Mistyheart: Brindlecloud, medicine cat of CanyonClan.

She was going through the same things as Mistyheart, writhing and crying out, lashing out and screeching; basically just being in pain.

Eventually she gave birth to two pure white she-kits. Brindlecloud left to tell the good news and Winterpelt curled around her daughters.

She looked down at them, purring, and the younger one vanished, but only for a split second. A small bit of wintergreen sprouted by the older one, then disappeared.

The pure white deputy blinked several times, thinking she must be seeing things. Giving a slight shrug, she rested her head on her paws and fell asleep.

…..

A fluffy grey and white she-cat (none other than Dawnstar, the leader of CanyonClan, herself) was in her den, thrashing around. She was giving birth, like her warrior, eight moons ago, and deputy, six moons ago.

Brindlecloud was there, but so was the younger of Winterpelt's kits, Whitepaw. Brindlecloud whispered to Whitepaw, who shot out of the den, returning minutes later with herbs.

The calico and white medicine cat had Dawnstar eat some kinds of leaves ( which tasted bitter, by the way). Soon Dawnstar gave birth to an exact look-a-like of herself.

Brindlecloud and Whitepaw left, leaving Dawnstar to rest. The leader curled around her kit, looking down at her. Momentarily she saw what looked like feathers sticking out of her daughter's back, but then it was gone.

Dawnstar dismissed it, believing her exhaustion to be causing her to hallucinate, and fell asleep quickly.

…..

A pale golden and ginger she-cat was in the nursery, giving birth like the others (it was nine moons after Dawnstar gave birth).

Brindlecloud and the newly named Whitespirit were working hard. It was a tough birth. The she-cat nearly died, but gave birth to four kits, two stillborn toms and two she-kits.

Brindlecloud took the kits away to bury and Whitespirit broke the news to the Clan.

Flaretail, the she-cat, curled around her kits, looking down at them. The older one seemed to be glowing and the younger one's legs were moving so fast they blurred, but only for a second.

Flaretail sighed and wrapped her tail around her kits.

I must be going crazy.

Did you find the prologue boring? I did. Sorry if you did, but it was necessary.

Dawnstar plushie if you review!

Until next time,

Indy.
