A silver gray she cat with silver eyes was giving birth under the shade of a tree. The full moon was hidden by a wisp of cloud and it was Halloween night. A dark gray tom with black tabby stripes was beside her, sobbing hysterically. The she cat was dying; she was losing too much blood.

"It will be okay, Dappleclaw." The she cat rasped, pushing.

"No it won't. You're dying Forestspirit." Dappleclaw said, tears dripping down his face.

Forestspirit pushed out her first kit, a silver tabby she cat with silver eyes, just like herself.

"Ghostkit." Forestspirit mewed.

Dappleclaw nodded.

Forestspirit was the medicine cat of Solarclan. Dappleclaw was the deputy of Lunarclan. Their love was forbidden in every way possible, and Starclan was punishing them by killing Forestspirit.

Forestspirit pushed out another kit, this time a dark gray tabby tom with green eyes.

"Jetkit." The medicine cat mewed.

Dappleclaw nodded again.

"I love you Dappleclaw. I always will." Forestspirit whispered.

"I love you too." Dappleclaw whispered.

"Take good care… of the kits…." The dying she cat murmured, then closed her eyes.

And then she was still.
