Second Chapter {well first was the prologue so… First Chapter?}! Yay! Enjoy!
Chapter 1 {2}
Blizzardpelt was feeling horrible today. She felt fat and ready to explode. These kits would be her first litter. She was excited but worried and she could tell Stormclaw, her mate, was nervous too. To any other cat, he was fine. He was strong and didn't worry about anything, but Blizzardpelt could see through that shield. "You should rest." Mistysoul said, nudging her back to the nursery with her nose. "Your kits look ready to come at any moment." Blizzardpelt sighed and did as she was told. There was a pang in her heart as she remembered Orangewhisker. He had always looked out for her. Blizzardpelt's thoughts were interrupted with a wave of pain. She stumbled into the den and cried out. Mistysoul went running to her den and Stormclaw, who was sending out a dusk patrol, jumped with surprise. He quickly gained control and ran to comfort his mate. Briartail, who was nursing her new kits, said soothing words to try to calm the she-cat.
It felt like forever, but finally all the kits were born. Mistysoul had left to tell everyone who didn't know and Briartail was nursing her kits, Birchkit, Leafkit, and Dewkit. Blizzardpelt leaned forward to try to lick her kits but fell back from exhaustion. "Here" Stormclaw pushed the kits closer so Blizzardpelt could see. They were beautiful! She sniffed and nuzzled them with joy. There was a white she-cat with gray stripes and splotches, and two toms, one was white with gray ear tips and paws, and the other was all gray.
Stormclaw smiled warmly at his kits and watched as they crawled to their mother's stomach. "What should we name them?" asked Blizzardpelt, looking at him with her blue eyes. Stormclaw looked at his kits more closely. He could tell that the gray kit was strong. He could see the mussels in his shoulders already. But what was a suitable name for him? He asked his mate, "How about we decide for the gray kit first." Blizzardpelt inspected him and after a few minutes decided, "How about Restlesskit? He seems to be too small to hold all that power in those legs and sleep soundly." Stormclaw nodded enthusiastically. "That's perfect!" Blizzardpelt pointed with her tail to the kit with gray paws. "Smokekit?" "Sounds good," Stormclaw purred. He looked at the last kit, the she-cat. There was something about her calmness. He could see her as a leader already. The gray on her pelt shimmered when she moved and seemed to reflect light ever so slightly. "Moonkit." There was no discussion. The name fit her perfectly.
Sorry sorry sorry! The main character's name has changed to Moonkit. Haha. Next chapter is NEXT! Yep… Please review!
