Crookedstar sat in his den sadly thinking of the one he loved.
Crookedpaw squirmed in pain as Dapplepelt rubbed marigold on his broken jaw. "Stop being such a kit!" she meowed. "Maybe you shouldn't be rubbing so hard" Bramblekit mewed sweetly. "Your right Bramblekit I was rubbing to hard!" Crookedpaw let out a thankful sigh that Bramblekit was there. Bramblekit nodded happily and winked at Crookedpaw as if saying "I'll handle this" but there was something else he didn't know in that look.
Crookedstar sighed as he remembered the wonderful and beautiful kit.
"From this moment on Bramblekit will be known as Bramblepaw and she will be training to be the next RiverClan medicine cat" The leader meowed.
Crookedpaw went over to congratulate Bramblepaw. "Congratulations Bramblepaw" he meowed glumly. "What's wrong?" she asked. "you're a medicine cat apprentice not a warrior apprentice" he admitted. "I think I wanted you as my mate later on"
Crookedstar twitched as he remembered the awkward moment.
"Crookedstar?" Brambleberry asked. "Come in" he meowed a little fearful of what was to come. "Mudkit wants to be my apprentice" she mewed. "of course he will be!" he meowed immediately. "And remember when Dapplepelt was treating you to hard with the marigold?" Crookedstar nodded. "Well before that I had a dream you would be leader and I would be medicine cat and we would be secret mates, but StarClan wouldn't mind because our off-spring would be important to save the clans one day.
Crookedstar couldn't help but nod as he thought of Silverstream, Featherpaw and Stormpaw.
Brambleberry licked Crookedstar's ear in more than just comfort. "It will be ok" she mewed "My dream said we would be medicine cat and leader and have kits and we are" she nodded confidently as she said this. Crookedstar didn't feel convinced but nodded.
"Crookedstar!" Brambleberry called. "Yes?" he replied worried he would get Deja-vu. "Silverkit is ready to become an apprentice!" she meowed clearly talking about their daughter. "Silverstream will be her warrior name later on." He thought.
"Why did the two kits die?" Crookedstar asked sadly. "Them dieing was the punishment and they would never be special so StarClan decided at least one of our kits could live" Brambleberry replied. "Are you sure?" He asked still glum. "No but we must have confidence in StarClan"
Crookedstar touched nose to Silverkit's head from this moment on you will be known as Silverpaw and Whiteclaw will be your mentor. Silverpaw looked up at her father with proudness, Whiteclaw was an amazing mentor.
"I wish she will always be happy" he thought.
Silverkit sulked from Graypool's stomach and she looked so breakable. "Do all kits look like that?" he asked her. "Yes they do but she will grow" Graypool replied helpfully. "thank you for doing this Graypool" Crookedstar mewed thankfully. "It's an honor for me you know, to be able to foster a leader's kit"
Brambleberry let out a cry of pain and then lay still. "BRAMBLEBERRY!" Crookedstar cried. "It's ok Silverpaw will be important, look after her" he heard a whisper. But Graypool knows and she's gone! He gasped. "It's ok Crookedstar, I Love You" he heard the whisper one last time before all was silent.
"Not Brambleberry! Anything But Her!" He yelled. "You already took my other two kits!"
All of RiverClan let out cries of pain, sadness and fury. Crookedstar remained silent but in his head he was also crying and yelling. "You will always be remembered" he vowed. "I'll make sure of it". He would spread the story of Brambleberry everywhere with his last breath.
