Hello again, sorry for not updating in AGESSS but yea, the keyboard on my computer I cant stand, so I'm on another mac! :D
Anyway, back to the chapter!
I also forgot what chapter we are on XD 7 I think?
Chapter 7 (I think)
Ivypool lifted her head, and Foxleap froze for a second. Ivypool narrowed her eyes in confusion. "C-Can I help you?" she mewed gently.
Foxleap gulped, but nodded, picking up a furry creature. "I thought… you were hungry." He smiled. Ivypool blinked, and smiled gratefully to him.
"Thank you, I didn't expect this." She admitted, seeing the prey was a vole, one of her favourite pieces of prey… "Vole too, thanks Foxleap."
The ginger furred warrior nodded, but sighed and sat down. "Don't you wish things were back to normal? In the clans?" he mewed. Ivypool blinked, freezing. "N-no, I'm with Hawkfrost, look!" she nodded to the little kits by her.
"If I stayed put, I would be only dreaming of these kits!" she yowled, and Hawkfrost was soon behind Foxleap, snarling.
"What's going on?" he demanded, his eyes dangerously narrowed. Ivypool froze. It was her incident with Stone all over again…
Ivypool shook her head, "Nothing, he just brought me a vole." He mewed.
Hawkfrost stepped forward, closer to Ivypool to peer to his kits. "Are they alright?" he asked. There was no emotion or coldness in his tone, but Ivypool was not at all afraid or concerned. "Yes." She smiled, nudging each kit gently in turn with her muzzle.
Hawkfrost turned to Foxleap again, "I'm guessing you saw what I did to that prisoner loner, and his camp, stay out of this family's way unless you want to keep such ginger fur." He growled, walking out the den, pushing Foxleap aside as he did.
Ivypool looked to Foxleap sadly, and the ginger furred warrior left, without another word.
…Morning…..
Ivypool yawned, and smiled as Specklekit mewled. Cinderheart wasn't up yet though. Ivypool shrugged, getting up and stretching her limbs. All her kits then woke, and Ivypool quickly settled herself back down.
"It's fine" she giggled, purring and cleaning their fur, only to pass the time if anything. All kits wriggled at the touch of her rouge tongue, expect for Featherkit, who was almost purring by the sound of it.
Ivypool yawned again, and looked outside to the den. She couldn't wait until the kits opened their eyes, but no, these were only a day old now.
Sparrowkit tossed and turned, and Ivypool guessed he was again sleeping and now dreaming. But what about? They had no sight of the world to dream about! Ivypool thought.
She knew Hawkfrost was going to see her soon, but he was probably on dawn patrol.
The silver she-cat looked around, and saw Cinderheart yawning and slowly waking. Her kits arose from sleep with her and were soon bounding about.
"Hey Ivypool!" Lionkit chirped. Ivypool gulped, and Cinderheart looked away from the two with little emotion in her eyes.
"Good morning, little one." Ivypool smiled, trying to forget everything about this amber kits' family that almost had its fait wrapped around the she-cat.
It was then Dustkit trotted over. "Stop bothering Ivypool!" he mewed, and Crowkit came over.
"Oooooooooh, can I see your kits?" she asked, her eyes widened in curiousity. Ivypool nodded, "Alright." She smiled, and at this Cinderheart looked over. Aha, now she got her to look…
Ivypool smiled as the three kits gawked at the small kits. "Hey who's that?" Lionkit asked, pointing to Sparrowkit. "That's Sparrowkit." She mewed.
Lionkit nodded, "Ah, and that one?" he pointed to Featherkit.
Another voice spoke for him. "Featherkit." Hawkfrost huffed, and Cinderheart sat up, ready to dart to the amber tom.
Lionkit blinked up at the huge tom. "Wow! You're big!" he gawked. Crowkit and Dustkit flanked him and stared up at Hawkfrost, who seemed amused even.
Hawkfrost cast his icy gaze then to Cinderheart. He raised an eyebrow slightly to her, as if to say, I'm your leader, You wouldn't dare to attack me or disobey me, but Ivypool nudged him, forcing the two to brake fatal gazes.
Ivypool rolled her eyes blue eyes, "They were just looking." She purred, nodding to the three kits.
Hawkfrost shrugged, "And I never said they weren't" he grinned to her, both brows raised. Cinderheart sighed slightly and still glared at his back.
"Kits, come here." She said at last, and the three kits stopped staring up at Hawkfrost and bounded over to her. "What is it?" Dustkit mewed.
"Did you see the size of that tom! Is he their dad?" Crowkit asked, pointing to Ivypool, Hawkfrost and the kits. Cinderheart nodded sadly and slowly, gaining glances from the couple opposite.
Hawkfrost narrowed his eyes and turned back around. "What's her problem?" he hissed to Ivypool. The silver she-cat giggled, "Every mother is protective of her kits." She whispered back. Hawkfrost yawned.
"Well, you seem to be doing well trust-wise." He smiled, his tail tip flicking.
Ivypool shrugged, "Well, my closest friend and mate is with me." She grinned. Cinderheart didn't hear, but who said she was supposed to?
Lionkit piped up again. "Where's our father?"
Ivypool froze, her eyes widened. And Cinderheart glared to her. "He… He… Y-You'll… see him later." She chocked.
Hawkfrost rolled his eyes, thought he was still facing Ivypool. "Pathetic, he's dead." He growled quietly. Ivypool glared to him, pointing to their kits with her tail tip.
Hawkfrost rolled his eyes again, "Yea… uh, sorry." He smiled. Ivypool sighed, looking to her grey furred friend, and den mate.
Her eyes glazed with sadness as she saw the kits pushing their mother, asking her when they will see their father.
Ivypool dug her claws into the ground secretly. It was her fault… Cinderheart could have been happy, raising her kits with her mate. Ivypool's life was going so well, while Cinderheart lived hers under a cloud of gloom.
Ivypool yawned, "Hey, can you fetch me a mouse or vole please? These kits aren't old enough to be left alone, not even a minute." She asked Hawkfrost, and he left reluctantly.
Ivypool looked to Cinderheart. "I'm so sorry." Cinderheart growled, tucking her kits closer to her. "Don't touch me or them" she mouthed, just out of her kits' eye shot.
Ivypool's ears shot back but when to their normal forwardnessness (lol just had too do that) when Hawkfrost entered, holding a mouse.
"There was no vole, sorry" he mewed, dropping the prey.
Ivypool shrugged, "It's fine, thank you." She purred and dug in, and the couple stayed together, quietly chatting until Hawkfrost was called to Tigerstar, for some sort of meeting.
Hawkfrost POV
Hawkfrost blinked as he approached the leaders den. It was huge, but Hawkfrost didn't spend too much time gawking, he sat down quickly. Breezepelt, Mapleshade, Brokenstar, Thistleclaw, and a few more senior warriors were there.
"Why I am here?" Hawkfrost asked, his ears forward for answers.
Tigerstar nodded, "The loners of the mountains, we left them weak, I say we take them all prisoner, the groups can then pick one each to bring to their own group. If there is an odd number," Tigerstar unsheathed his long claws.
", We easily kill them. They kept one of my senior warriors and queen prisoner, no one will over look us like that ever again."
He sneered, and the cats nodded agreement. "Good, I am glad you all agree, now, assemble your finest Warriors!" he snapped, and with that, the den was empty, expect for Tigerstar himself.
