Prologue
A screech echoed as pain seared through the white cat. "Once more. Only one more time!" Another voice encouraged. With a single push, a small bundle fell out into the woven sticks, moss, and feathers.
"How are they? Are they okay?" The white queen asked.
"They're fine. You have two she-kits." A tabby mewed. The small sounds of new kits whining made the tired she-cat smile.
"Thank SpiritClan." The new queen purred as she curled around the kits. She licked them repeatedly as they cried, a purr in her throat all the while. While the queen washed the afterbirth from the kits, the tabby backed out of the nursery into the rain and picked her way through the soaked crowd to the leader.
"Are they all alright?" The brown leader asked the tabby patiently.
"They're fine, but something may be wrong." She answered in a hushed tone. The leader's eyes widened and her ears instantly pricked in alarm.
"Well, what is it?" She asked, her eyes flickering from the tabby in front of her to the nursery.
"I'm not sure yet. I'm sure there's no cause for alarm. One of the kits was just delayed."
"Delayed? What do you mean 'delayed'? The kits weren't due for another half moon."
"One didn't cry as quickly." The tabby answered quietly. After a moment, she added, "I'm sure it's nothing."
"Well, which one was it? Which one cried late?" The leader asked hastily. The tabby shook her head.
"I don't know. They look exactly alike."
At those words, the leader's eyes widened even more and she shook her head. "We'll have to watch them both, but for tonight, we need not worry. SpirtClan has blessed us with two new kits, and for that, we celebrate." She mewed and padded away towards the nursery. The tabby stayed behind, staring after her leader, eyes dim. The clans had been suffering through two moons of droughts and scrawny prey. Now, the rains had come and new life was within the clan. We'll keep a close eye on them, but tonight, we celebrate. The medicine cat thought and padded forward, forcing a smile.
