The birth of a motherless echo
Sycamoreleaf staggered a little as she made her way through the camp to Snowfur's had been feeling dizzy for the last few seconds and her belly had hurt walked confidently into the herb cat's den."Snowfur"she called,before falling on her side.
Snowfur dragged the groaning Sycamoreleaf deeper into his den and brought out some herbs."Push,Sycamoreleaf.I know you can do kit is almost ,that's on.A healthy black is on,you don't wanna lose this on." encouraged licked the black kit as Pinepaw came rushing at him.
Pinepaw took the black kit from Snowfur and continued his work while Snowfur encouraged last,three more kits joined the black kit."Eat these." said Pinepaw nudging the herbs nearer to ate the herbs and made a face of body still hurts and her mind is starting to blacken.
Snowfur brought the kits over to her and said,"Name them first."
Sycamoreleaf pointed at the black kit , a misty-patterned gray-and-white kit, a bright ginger kit and a tortoiseshell kit with smoky eyes and whipered slowly,"Shadekit,Echokit,Rowankit,Leafkit." She breathed out for the last time and closed her eyes.
"She's gone." whispered Pinepaw numbly. Snowfur put his tail comfortingly on Pinepaw's shoulder. She had never experienced death in any herb cat's jobs before and was frustrated to have lost a noble fighter. She and Snowfur brought the kits to the nursery and dragged Sycamoreleaf's body to the middle of the clearing. Most cats gasped and others let out wails of sorrow.
Smokefrost,Sycamoreleaf's mate let out a high-pitched wailing and rushed over to her body. He licked her face furiously in an attempt to wake her up but failed. Flamemoon stood numbly at Sycamoreleaf's head, staring at the dead body of her daughter.
Flamemoon nosed Sycamoreleaf's fur and walked into the nursery. "Where's Sycamoreleaf's kits?" she asked.
Brookdapple looked up as Flamemoon walked over to her. "Shadekit,Echokit,Rowankit and Leafkit." She said slowly as not to wake the other queens and kits.
Flamemoon looked at each of them carefully and her eyes stopped on Echokit. She was different. She wasn't mewling like the other kits and her eyes are already slightly open. She was calm as she drank the milk from Brookdapple. She was also differently beautiful and her ears perked up meekly when Flamemoon told Brookdapple that Sycamoreleaf's dead. She let out a little whine of sorrow and stopped drinking.
