I looked everywhere, thinking that maybe some cat got hurt, before realizing that it was coming from my mate. She was about to have our kits. I thought they weren't due until a few weeks later. I thought wrong. Most of the cats were already awakened by Dawnfleck's cry. Dawnfleck was resting in a hole in the tree, with Willowtail helping her. I grabbed a stick and ran to Dawnfleck's side. I gave her a stick to bite on, while Willowtail tried to calm her down.
"The first kit is coming!" Willowtail said as the first kit started slipping out. Dawnfleck's stick splintered as the kit slipped out. Dawnfleck bit on another part of the stick as the second kit slipped out. The final kit finally slipped out as the stick snapped in two. The first kit had a pitch black pelt like mine, while the second kit had a silver pelt with darker flecks like Dawnfleck's. The last kit had a gray and brown pelt.
"Two she-cats and a tom!" Willowtail happily announced as the clan quietly cheered in bliss. "What are you going to name the first she-cat, Dawnfleck?" I said.
"I'll name her Shadekit," Dawnfleck said. "And the silver kit, Silverkit. Nightshade, you name the last kit."
"Oh, uh, okay," I said. "I'll name this one Pebblekit." I mewed.
Then I remembered something. StoneClan. I needed to tell Amberstar about their destruction. "I'll be right back," I said. I walked over to the ginger cat. "Amberstar, I need to tell you something."
"What is it, my deputy?" Amberstar said. I said, "Look over there." Amberstar looked in the direction of the destroyed camp. Amberstar widened her eyes in horror. "What...what happened to StoneClan?" she asked. "Flesh-eaters." I said. I looked in the direction of the DarkClan camp. It was still intact. "We need to head to DarkClan. We can't stay in this tree forever," I said. "You're right. We will head to the DarkClan camp to request their help. We need to destroy these Flesh-Eaters one and for all. Nightshade, take Thistlecreek, Spottedjump and Peardawn with you on a hunting patrol. And make sure none of your clanmates fall victim to those rotted fox hearts.
Soon, I had the selected cats with me through the forest. We caught a lot of mice, shrews, and voles. We returned to the tree and we ate like lions, whatever those are. The next day, we set out to DarkClan.
I carried Dawnfleck on my back, who is cuddling the 3 kits, making sure they didn't fall off. After a long walk, we finally reached the DarkClan border. "Amber star stopped and turned around. "We need to be careful when we enter the territory. I don't want anyone falling victim to the flesh-eaters. Suddenly, there was a flash, and in ass then a heartbeat, Amberstar was pinned down by many flesh-eaters. I yowled in surprise, and was about to help her, but I had Dawfleck and our kits on my back, so I couldn't help her without risking the life of my kits my mate. Some of my clanmates rushed forward to help her, but were met with fierce hisses from the flesh eaters. Then, right before the flesh eater pinning Amberstar down, a flash of red killed all of the flesh eaters as Amberstar scrambled from the flesh eater's jaws. Then the cat stopped, and my eyes widened. Standing right before us, was the one and only, founder of DiamondClan, the red cat himself, the infamous Rubystar.
