Emotions

"Ashfur, don't you think Squirrelflight's kits are lovely?" asked his sister, Ferncloud. The tom grunted and looked away. "Ashfur, Squirrelflight is Brambleclaw's mate, not yours. When will you accept that?" asked Ferncloud gently.

"I have, Ferncloud. I have." Ashfur padded out of the nursery and looked up to see Swiftfoot with Daisy at his side. Cloudtail padded in with prey, grabbed a piece of prey and meet with his mate, Brightheart and his daughter, Whitewing. Ashfur partly glared at them and padded to the warrior den to sleep for the day.


In the nursery, a black she-kit stumbled out of her nest and looked around, wondering where she is. She remembered a bit about a tree and playing with many colored leaves. Maybe she can find some out of the cave. Hollykit stepped over her brothers and passed two she-cats. She poked though the many leaves wovened at the entrance. No leaves. She padded outside and looked up. The lights which dotted the black sky seem watch over her.

She twitched her ears and padded around, exploring. There was a pile of prey at the center but her mom said she cannot eat it yet. The clearing was surrounded by rocks and there seem to be caves everywhere, leaves covering the holes. She padded to one of the dens and many scents flowed to her nose. But other then the scents, she felt...something...and it seem to be coming from the cats. Most of it feel happy, but one is sad... angry. She followed it.

She somehow walked into the den without making noises. Hollykit signed in relieve. She followed the feeling, leading her a big grey tom. She looked up to see dark flecks in his pelt. His face has a scowl carved on. Hollykit stared and wondered why he is sad. Mom had said cuddling can make a cat happy. She decided to cuddle him.


Ashfur blinked his eyes awake as he felt something at his stomach. He curled a bit to look. "Hollykit? What are you doing here?" He asked, surprised.

Said kit looked at him and mewed. She totted to near his forepaws. Hollykit stared at him, nuzzled him and curled up at his forpaws. Ashfur was thinking of walking her up when he watch the kit sleeping peacefully. He signed and decided to leave her be. He put his head down as Hollykit twitched and left her head on his paw.


"Ashfur! It's time-," Longtail called out, before he felt another warrior's tail in his mouth.

"Quiet Longtail!" Dustpelt mewed in a hushed voice. "I think it would be a good idea that we leave them alone. I'll tell Brambleclaw about it," the younger tom continued, pushing the blind warrior out. Dustpelt turned back to his mate's brother, who was sleeping peacefully with the she-kit. Ashfur's face had a smile on him. Dustpelt twitched his whiskers and padded back out.

"So, the three are here now..." murmured a black and white she-cat with silver-colored scars, her blind eyes seemingly gazing into the distance.


A hint of Hollyleaf's power.
