A/N: Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I went on a trip to India and I didn't bring anything but my Iphone, so I couldn't upload anything. I'm thinking of writing one last Jeyna chapter, since you guys seem to be forgetting about it, and I plan to keep on writing Bluestar's Destiny as soon as I figure out what I wrote. You see, I wrote almost 7 full chapters and I was going to update them all at once, to surprise you all, but, being stupid, I forgot to save, so all the chapters were deleted. I did have this on here though, and I thought I'd give you something to read. I wrote it a while ago, but I realized that I actually did a pretty good job on this...I hope.
It's about my characters, Fireleaf and Whitetail. It takes place after Bramblestar dies and the leader is Squirrelstar, and one of my characters, Swiftbreeze (daughter of Foxleap and Ivypool, mate to Toadstep), will give you a history lesson with her mate! I started when Fireleaf was an apprentice, so I had to go back, all the way to the beginning, when she was born. If you read the history lesson, when you get to it, you may wonder why there are new cats. Well, after Bramblestar died, Squirrelstar was smart and conserved her lives. She has only lost four so far, but about 25 moons have passed since she got her leader name. ANYWAY...ENJOY!
"Congratulations, Hazelgaze! You have three she-kits and a tom!" Echopool, the medicine cat, said. She turned to an expectant Queen, Swiftbreeze. "Come and get me if you need help with anything, Swiftbreeze, or if you have a concern. I'll be in my den." With that, Echopool backed out of the den just in time to avoid an eager Nightpelt, Hazelgaze's mate and the father of the new kits.
"Hazelgaze, are you alright? Oh, four beautiful kits! Do you need anything, prey or water?"
"I'm fine, Nightpelt, just awfully tired. Here I've come up with names for three, but I want you to decide the names of the fourth, and I also want you to tell me what you think of the kits. I've decided Frostykit for this one because she is gray with white flecks, like frost. Cinderkit for this one because of her cinder colored fur. Hailkit for this one because of his small white patches, they look like hail. I don't know what to name the ginger she-kit though."
"Well, I really like the names you've chosen, they fit them perfectly! The ginger she-kit, hmmm, when was she born?"
"First."
"Well, the first-born needs a powerful name. I think that we should name her Firekit to match her pelt of fire."
"It's perfect! I love it! Now, Nightpelt, it's almost moonhigh, and poor Swiftbreeze must be bone-tired after hearing me wail all evening. She's due soon and needs her rest, and so do you and I. Go to sleep and come back in the morning, when we've rested. Remember, no earlier than sunhigh."
"Alright, Hazelgaze, you know where to find me. Good night."

Nightpelt visited Hazelgaze when he could, and played with the kits a lot. He enjoyed playing with his daughters and his son; they were energetic, but calm. Half a moon after Hazelgaze kitted, Swiftbreeze kitted. This was her second kitting, and the kitting was quick and easy. She had a she-kit, Amberkit, who had fur the color of amber, and Whitekit, who had a black pelt with a big, fluffy tail. Cinderkit had suggested Blackkit, after his black pelt, and Firekit had suggested Whitekit, after his white tail. Swiftbreeze had chosen Whitekit because his white tail really made him stand out. Swiftbreeze's mate, Toadstep, was an elder now because of a back injury that hadn't properly healed. Swiftbreeze would become one once her kits had been made into apprentices, as she was losing eyesight quickly.
Both remembered a time before their leader, Squirrelstar. So did all the other elders and most of the warriors, as well as the medicine cats and most apprentices. They remembered Bramblestar, a warrior leader. He fought all the battles with a bloodthirsty look in his eyes, and had lost all nine of his lives in five moons. He made cats in his Clan fight without a reason, and Swiftbreeze was sure that he was in the Place of No Stars. Many said it was because his father, Tigerstar, had been killed in the battle that had made him leader, and he had changed somehow, and become exactly like him. Toadstep, many warriors, and a medicine cat remembered a time before that, too, when a great and wise leader, Firestar, had lead. He gave his all his lives protecting his Clan, and had been killed by a falling tree. Firestar was Squirrelstar's father. Toadstep had told Swiftbreeze that he hoped that Squirrelstar would be like Firestar; wise, peaceful, loyal, and courageous. Toadstep had told all the kits who had asked as well.
Swiftbreeze was worried that Toadstep, in his old age, would not be able to live much longer, and she would be made an elder with him already gone, so she made him visit his kits daily. He visited for a short time though, because his back legs were going numb, just as Briarlight's had, and Toadstep was becoming more and more tired each day. Whitekit and Amberkit showed great promise and everyone could tell that they would make good warriors one day.
A/N: sorry for the short chappie, but another one is going up today so...yea. I wrote it as a word document, not in chapter form, so I have to find good places to make a chapter end, and this wsa the only one for quite some time. Oh well, BYE
