"Emberkit... Emberkit..." She heard someone calling her name, and she stretched out her tiny paws towards the voice.
Who is that? she thought. What is that? Blearily she opened her eyes, mewling pitifully. I'm hungry!
"Oh, look, see, Beechfur? He can hear me!" The big furry, warm thing that she liked to snuggle with made the vibrating happen again, and she slowly realized that the vibrating made the noise. She lifted her head to catch the sounds and mewed curiously. "Look, see! He recognizes me! Oh..."
"He's a smart young buck for a little guy, I'll give him that." She felt some big furry thing touch her, and she shifted to it. Maybe it had food? She mewled at it, trying to get it to give her milk.
"He should open his eyes soon, right?" That was the big furry thing and she snuggled into the noises. She made her own noises, a soft one that rolled throughout her body effortlessly as she breathed in and out, pawing around for food. I'm happy.
"Give it a few more days. Remember he's still young."
"But he's growing normally, right?"
"Yes, he's just fine. He'll become a fine warrior at this rate."
The big warm thing sighed. "That's so good to hear. Thank you, Beechfur."
"Anytime, Eelfoot. If anything happens, call me immediately. If I'm not around, Goosepaw will come. Toms with tortoiseshell pelts can get sick a lot, so I'll be keeping an extra close eye on him."
She didn't understand any of the noises, but she liked the big furry thing's. She liked them a lot. They made her feel safe, and as she finally found the soft thing the milk came out of and began to suck, she felt the big furry thing with the nice noises make the one vibration that lulled her to sleep. The wet thing came down above her and began to lick her body, making her feel soft and happy.
"Thanks, Beechfur. I know you'll help Emberkit to grow into a strong, healthy tom, just like his father. StarClan bless him."
"Indeed. It's such a shame we had to lose Leopardwhisker like that. Damn Twolegs and their monsters, coming off the Thunderpath like that..."
"But Emberkit will make him proud. I know that. Emberkit will be the son he always wanted. You remember him saying that, right? 'I can't wait to have a son of my own! He'll be the second-best hunter in ThunderClan, second only to his dear old dad!'"
"Imagine if he was. That would be a blessing."
"Mmm." The big furry thing curled around her. "I'm very tired, Beechfur, and it's time for Emberkit's nap."
"Right. Take care, Eelfoot."
She settled in as the big furry thing curled around her, squirming around and wiggling her bottom until she was comfortable. They both made tiny vibrating noises, and they were happy.
