Prologue
"Come on Whispervoice you can do it!" Jingle shouted.
She was encouraging, something Whispervoice could really use, but she didn't know anything about kitting. She's even told Whispervoice she couldn't have kits. That much wasn't comforting. Whispervoice couldn't talk, she was too busy biting on the stick she'd had Jingle get, but she kept looking back, trying to get Jingle to pay attention, so she'd help when the kits were born.
Whispervoice let out one more little yowl, and the kit slid out. It was a tom. "Like him. . ." Whispervoice panted. "The wrong way. . ."
"But, why?" Jingle asked.
Whispervoice was too tired to respond. She just gave Jingle a 'do it' look. Jingle got the hint. She began licking the tom backwards.
Whispervoice waited for the pain to start back up, but it didn't. That kit was the only one. Just like with Fleckednose. She thought sadly. Whispervoice lifted herself up a little bit and shoved her new kit closer so he could nurse.
"Oh he's cute." Jingle complimented. "What are you going to name him?"
Whispervoice smiled, knowing how well Jingle meant. And it meant she wouldn't be alone to reaise this kit. She was a clan cat, and she couldn't' stand the thought of being alone.
Then she looked at her kit. He had black fur and blue eyes. Odd, he didn't look much like either of his parents. "I think I'll name him sunset."
To her surprise Jingle looked confused. "Sunset? But don't clan kits names' end in kit?" She asked.
"They do." Whispervoice confirmed. "But he's not a clan cat. The time of the clan cats has set like the sun."
(Ugh. Short chapter. Sorry, some chapters are going to be short like this. I've tried long chapters and always have such a hard time with them.)
