Hey guys, This one may be a little sad… *evil laughs*
A light breeze soared by the nursery. Flooding leaves around the camp. The freshkill pile was running low and cats were huddling inside their dens for warmth. The leaf fall air had brung the cold, and new kits were on the way.
A yelp sounded from inside the nursery. Two cats padded out from the warriors den looking frantic,
"Shellflower come quick, Miststream's kits are coming!" Shellflower rushed out of the Medicine cat's den and into the nursery. By now the whole clan was up. Inside the nursery Shellflower was by Miststream's side, Cloverpaw, Shellflower's apprentice, was on the other side of her. Miststream croaked out,
"get… Stormblaze.", Cloverpaw rushed out and called to Miststream's mate, but he was already coming.
"Ok Cloverpaw, you know what to do, It won't be long now." Cloverpaw slid a stick under Miststream's chin,
"bite on this," she said
" it will help when the pain comes." Miststream carefully bit down on the stick, wincing with pain, she shrieked. Stormblaze pleaded,
"Give her poppy seed, please." The Medicine cat responded in a soothing voice,
"No Stormblaze, We need to know when her kits are coming.''As soon as she finished, Miststream whined and Cloverpaw said,
"SHELLFLOWER!".Miststream let out another yelp of pain as she gripped the twig in between her jaws, it splintered and fell to the ground, a very little kit was born. Cloverpaw began to lick its fur the wrong way to warm it up, another screech came out of Miststream. And in no time four little kits were suckling beside her.
Three sunrises went past.
The fourth started with a screech.
"Oh no, no, no, no!" Shellflower rushed into the nursery to find Miststream weeping beside two of her kits,
"No! Plumkit, Hawkkit!" Shellflower let out a gasp and hurried beside Miststream,
"I'm so, so sorry. They were not strong enough."Shellflower said. Miststream let out another wail and nudged her now-dead kits. A small black kit with blazing orange eyes looked up at her mother (Yes she opened her eyes very early) and mewled.
"Why are you crying mother, they are just sleeping… right.",
"No Ashkit, they are not… um, yes Ashkit they will be awake soon."MIststream said to the little kit through tears. Ashkit looked up at her mother,
"Mother, why are you lying to me, You are crying, you wouldn't be crying if they were just sleeping." Miststream turned her back to Ashkit and said sternly,
"Ashkit, listen to me, they are sleeping, just sleeping. Now go outside with Shellflower and you can play, oh and take Fernkit with you."Ashkit nodded and shoved her sister upright,
"C'mon Fernkit let's go outside and explore!" As Shellflower and the kits left the room, two warriors came in to see the dead kits.
"Ashkit, Ashkit, ASHKIT, c'mon look what I found!"Fernkit exclaimed, nudging a piece of freshkill that was as big as her.
"Cool!... what is it." Ashkit squeaked
"I don't know… Shellflower what is it?" Shellflower sighed and started explaining
"Well kits that is a squirrel, and you see that one, that is a bird, oh and this one is a shrew…" She went on and on, not realizing that the kits had started their own game of mossball. She padded over to them and started batting the ball of moss into the air, just so that the kits couldn't reach it.
"Hmph, Shellflower c'mon let us have it!", The kits chorused.
Shellflower dropped the mossball, the kits pounced on played until almost sunset.
Was that as sad as you thought… At least you didn't get that attached to the characters that died.*Beware, if you don't like gore, sadness, or romance this story is not for you. Don't worry it's not that bad...*
Also I need reviews and ideas for chapters!
And please don't be annoyed that I named one of the characters Ashkit.
Thoughts on Miststream, Fernkit, Shellflower, Cloverpaw, Stormblaze.
