The snowy wind blew throughout the forest as a she-cat had a full belly of kits. It was close to their birth, but she had no Clan anymore to have them in. Her name was Moondust, and her secret of forbidden love was out to her former Clan, ValleyClan. Moondust had found a mate from FrostClan, Silverfang, and had kits.

Moondust had just found a cave to take shelter in as she heard pawsteps. A low voice sounded behind her, "Hello, darling. I brought birch leaves and some fish for you, if that helps any." It was Silverfang and he sounded like a worried new father. Pain shot up Moondust's belly as she grunted a "thanks" as the kits came.

Yowling sounded and then crying was heard. Mewling too, the crying was from the kits as Moondust breathed heavily. "They're adorable, Moondust," Silverfang mused as he admired his kits. Moondust was bleeding heavily, and he saw she was loosing blood quickly. Silverfang didn't know what to do, he knew his mate was dying before him. As she lost a pulse he cuddled up to his family and cried. "M-Moondust?" he shivered.

It was too late. He yowled his sorrows out. The tom was sure the whole forest could hear him. He finished his distress and scooped up the kits. One in his jaw, two on his back and one had to walk. He trekked through the snow to his Clan as the kit walking couldn't walk anymore. He just lost his mate and now a kit. He sighed and licked her, and prayed to StarClan nothing else could happen to him.
