Prolouge

"Push Emberlight, Push!" hissed a blue-grey she-cat, standing over a ginger she-cat, whose face was contorted in pain. "I'm trying!" growled Emberlight, as she lifted up her head to glare at the medicine cat, another contraction hit her, and her head fell back once more as she let out a terrible screech. "Jaysoul, I see one coming!" mewed a dark grey tom, who was crouched at the queen's hips, waiting excitedly for the new arrivals. When Jaysoul looked up, she spotted the wet bundle slip out onto the moss. "Quick Stormpool," Jaysoul mewed, "lick it until it starts crying!" Obediently Stormpool did just that, and not long after the kit starting mewling loudly, "A tom, Emberlight," he purred as he sat the kit in the curve of its mother's belly. Emberlight had no time to respond other than a raspy purr as another contraction hit, and with a second screech, another kit slid out. Doing the same as before Stormpool purred as the second kit started wailing, "A beautiful she-cat, Emberlight," he mewed. Feeling Emberlight's stomach carefully Jaysoul looked at the queen purring, "It's over Emberlight, you have two beautiful kits, a tom and a she-cat!" Panting the queen tiredly looked at her two kits that were nuzzled against her, "They're perfect," she purred. As Emberlight began to lick her kits, a big ball of silver grey fur came running into the nursery. Almost tumbling into the other queen, Vixenleap (earning the cat a quiet hiss and swipe to its chest as her tail rested over own three kits) the burly cat stopped to a halt staring at Emberlight and the kits. Emberlight stifled a purr at the cat's unruly fur, as it stuck out in all directions, "Hollowtangle, come meet your son and daughter," she mewed softly as her mate softly padded to her side. Hollowtangle's deep purr resonated through the nursery, "Oh Emberlight," he purred, "they're beautiful." Emberlight looked up at her mate lovingly, "Would you like to name the tom?" she asked him kindly. Nodding Hollowtangle looked at the little silver tom and bent down to nuzzle him, but jerked backed however, when the little tom yowled and swiped at his nose. He purred and licked his chest, "what a brave little kit…". Emberlight's eyes brightened and she mewed, "that's it Hollowtangle, we'll name him Bravekit!" Nodding his agreement, Hollowtangle looked at the second kit, "And the she-cat?" he asked Emberlight, as he laid down beside his mate, curling up next to her as he began to groom her. Emberlight looked at the little she-cat, she was indeed pretty having pale silver fur, with pale golden and pale ginger dapples. As she looked at her daughter she thought of how her dapples reminded her of the sun-high light shining through the nursery's bramble walls, flickering on the ground as if entertaining her. "Flickerkit…" she mewed softly, purring his agreement her mate, looked at his kits and mewed, "Welcome to ThunderClan, Bravekit and Flickerkit."
