Chapter 6
Squirrelflight's Kits
The vigil held for Dustpelt got underway almost as soon as Jayfeather and Leafpool padded into the middle of the clearing. While Leafpool said the words that would ensure Dustpelt would arrive in StarClan, Jayfeather went to find his siblings. Lionblaze was sitting at the back of the crowd, watching the vigil and Jayfeather could feel waves of sadness come off of the golden tom.
"Hi Jayfeather," Lionblaze meowed once Jayfeather got within earshot.
"Hi, Lionblaze," Jayfeather meowed in reply, sitting down beside his brother.
"It's hard to accept the fact that Dustpelt's gone," Lionblaze commented, looking mournfully at the limp dark brown shape. Ferncloud lay beside her mate, her nose buried deep in his fur. Foxclaw and Icesong sat beside her, trying hard to comfort her. Birchfall pushed his way through the crowd before sitting down beside his father.
"I know, he's was one of the senior warriors who has been here for a long time," Jayfeather said, "where's Hollyleaf?"
"Er, I haven't seen her since we entered the camp," Lionblaze apologized, scanning the crowd, "oh, she's outside the nursery with Mousewhisker."
Jayfeather nodded beofer padding over to join his sister, Lionblaze got to his paws and followed her.
"Hi Hollyleaf," Jayfeather meowed and suddenly felt heart wenching sadness come off of the black warrior, "are you alright?" his voice was filled with worry and concern.
"It's my fault Patchpelt and Dustpelt are dead," Hollyleaf meowed, her voice thick with sadness.
"How could you have known they were going to get killed?" Mousewhisker asked and Jayfeather sensed confusion in the gray and white tom.
"I-I sort of sensed it was going to happen. I-I knew someone was going to get killed, I just did not know who," Hollyleaf replied.
Jayfeather, knowing she wasn't telling the whole story, probed her mind. Why do I keep having this visions of the future if I can't even stop my own clanmates death? Hollyleaf was thinking.
So that's what this is all about, Hollyleaf had a vision about Dustpelt and Patchpelt's death, Jayfeather thought and confusion shot through him, how can Hollyleaf have visions of the future? Could this be her power, making her officially one of the power of three?
Hollyleaf flinched and Jayfeather could feel her green gaze burning into his pelt, "how many times do I have to tell you? Don't do that," she snapped.
"Don't do what?" Mousewhisker asked in confusion.
"Never mind," Hollyleaf sighed before padding off to join the other warriors clustered around Dustpelt's body. Mousewhisker sighed before following her, leaving Jayfeather alone with Lionblaze.
"What did you hear?" Lionblaze asked. He knew about Jayfeather unusual gift to understand what others are thinking. Though the golden tom still did not know of Jayfeather's ability to go into other's dreams.
Jayfeather looked around, making sure no one was in earshot, before he replied, "she is feeling guilty because she had a vision and saw Dustpelt and Patchpelt getting killed. She thought she could have prevented it but sometimes these deaths are meant to happen."
"She can see the future?!" Lionblaze gasped out loud, causing a few cats to turn and look at the two young cats.
"Shh, keep it down, we must not let anyone know about this," Jayfeather hissed.
"Sorry," Lionblaze meowed, his voice was lower, "is that how she was able to know when she was suppose to be at the SkyClan border?"
"There is nothing else that can explain it," Jayfeather replied.
"Jayfeather!" the gray tom looked up at his mentor's call before getting to his paws.
"What?" he called back.
"Let's take care of all the wounded cats right away," Leafpool meowed in reply, "go into my den and get some marigold and cobwebs."
"Alright Leafpool," Jayfeather meowed, hurrying across the clearing before slipping into the medicine cats den. He padded into Leafpool's den before taking a deep breath and sniffing at the air.
When the familiar tang of marigold hit his scent glands, he padded toward them before picking up a few of the leaves. He wrapped some cobweb around his paw before hurrying out of the clearing and toward where his mentor was sitting.
Firestar was sitting beside his daughter when Leafpool came to a stop next to him, "will this be enough?" he asked, spitting out the leaves.
"It should be enough," Leafpool meowed, "thanks Jayfeather. Now will you help me treat them?"
"Okay," Jayfeather meowed, picking up a couple of leaves before padding over to Rosepaw, Hollyleaf's apprentice, who was sitting beside her brother. They were talking about the battle when Jayfeather approached. At least no one was seriously injured, Jayfeather thought, sniffing the air and noticing, though it was tinged with blood, there were no infenctions in the air.

By the time Jayfeather finished treating all the cats, the sun was going down. Leafpool padded toward him and Jayfeather could sense she was about ready to collapse from exhaustion. "Leafpool, why don't you go sleep?" he suggested, "you're going to need it, tomorrow's half moon."
Leafpool's only reply was a yawn and she turned around before padding toward the medicine cats den. But before she could reach it, a loud screech of pain shook the entire clan. A moment later, the familiar scent of Brambleclaw exploded into the clearing.
"Squirrelflight's kits are coming," he yowled.
Jayfeather's heard Leafpool's paws turn around and run toward him, "go get some herbs," she hissed as she hurried past him, following the Thunderclan deputy into the nursery. Jayfeather hurried across the clearing before slipping into the den and reemerging with some herbs in his jaws.
"Is she going to be alright?" Hollyleaf asked worriedly as Jayfeather hurried past his sister. She was sitting outside the nursery with Mousewhisker at her side. Some of the guilt and sadness had washed off her but Jayfeather could still sense it boiling inside her.
Unable to reply with his jaws laden with herbs, Jayfeather nodded before hurrying into the clearing. Squirrelflight let out another yowl of pain just as Jayfeather arrived.
"They're coming," Leafpool meowed, strangely calm as she turned to look at Jayfeather, "let's do this."
Squirrelflight let out another screech of pain as Leafpool turned back to her sister. A moment later, she let out a exclamation, "you did it, Squirrelflight. Hold on, there are a few more."
Squirrelight let out another yowl of pain and Leafpool purred, "only one more, Squirrelflight. Come on, you can do it." She let out another yowl of pain and Leafpool meowed, "you've done it Squirrelflight, you have three healthy kits."
"Three?" Squirrelflight gasped, it was the first time Jayfeather had heard her speak since her kits started coming.
"Is she alright?" a familiar voice sounded and Jayfeather sighed.
"She's going to be fine, Storm," he meowed.
"That's good," Storm meowed before padding away from the group to give the she cat and her kits some breathing room.
"Here, eat these herbs, they'll help you gain your strength back and help you supply milk," Leafpool meowed and Jayfeather heard Squirrelflight lap up the herbs before sighing.
"What are you going to name them?" Millie aske curiously. Jayfeather sensed that she was keeping out of the way and was preventing her kits from going anywhere near the she cat.
"The first one looks a bit like Firestar so I think I'll name her Flamingkit," Squirrelflight meowed, "the second one looks like Sandstorm but I'll call her Dustkit, in memory of Dustpelt, and the last one will be known as Aspenkit."
"Those are wonderful names," Brambleclaw purred, licking Squirrelflight on the head.
"Is it me or is it a bit crowded in here?" Leafpool murmured.
"Night and I will wait outside," Storm offered and a moment later, Jayfeather heard the two kits make their way outside. After a moments thought, Daisy got to her paws and followed them.
"I'm so happy for you, Squirrelflight," Jayfeather meowed, finally Squirrelflight has kits she can call her own, he thought to himself.
