Bumblestripe and Tigerheart
By Kate
Prologue
The ginger cat padded wearily through the camp entrance, wishing he could just lay down his head right where he was and drift off into uninterrupted sleep. He had had many sleepless nights worrying about his mate, Dovewing. He knew Leafpool and Jayfeather would safely deliver her kits, and that there was no point in worrying so much, but he still did, as he cared so much for Dovewing. He moved towards the fresh kill pile with his two mice when his litter mate Icecloud raced up to him, "Foxleap!" she mewed breathlessly, "Your kits have been born!" Foxleap stood stock still for a moment in the middle of camp, his mind racing with a million different thoughts, until Brambleclaw-the leader of the hunting patrol- trotted over to him, "I'll take these," he mewed, faint amusement scattered on his face, and took the mice to the pile. Foxleap jolted into action and charged like an excited kit to the nursery, to see his children.
