A/N:
Tooooaster, you're welcome, thanks for adding him in, he's really fun to write.
Random question for everyone, what clan would you guys be in?
In every quiz I've ever taken, I've gotten ShadowClan oooh *spooky fingers* so I guess, that's what clan I'd be in.
Gladepaw looked with a twinge of jealousy, when Buckpaw leaped gracefully into the elder's den.
"Fawnpaw guess what! Doeleap has just given birth to two kittens!"
"What?" Fawnpaw dropped the fresh moss she was holding in her mouth to ask that question, her golden eyes were wide as she stared at her brother.
"Yeah, I got to help deliver them, isn't that cool? When the kits are old enough, I can tell them that their big brother is the one who helped bring them into this world," Buckpaw boasted, puffing his chest out.
He then narrowed his eyes, which were the same colour as Fawnpaw's.
"Now, if they get on my nerves, I can tell them, I helped bring you into this world, and I can take you out!"
"Buckpaw! That's awful!" Fawnpaw exclaimed with a small purr of amusement.
He flicked his tail, and let out a small purr as well, before saying,
"Do you want to go see them?"
"Of course!" Fawnpaw exclaimed with a small hiss, as though she was offended her brother would even ask her that.
Buckpaw turned to Gladepaw,
"Are you coming too?"
Gladepaw nodded, and the three cats padded out of the elder's den together, and headed towards the nursery.
Annoyance with himself coursed through Gladepaw's pelt, when he fell not even a fox-length outside the elder's den.
"You know, I could carry you if you like," Buckpaw snorted.
"I don't see how, seeing as I'm bigger than you," Gladepaw spat, getting back up to his paws. He wasn't really angry though, he knew Buckpaw was only teasing. He was glad that the medicine cat apprentice actually treated him like just another cat, instead of walking on eggshells around him, or babying him, like everyone else seemed to do.
"Buckpaw, leave him alone," Fawnpaw meowed, turning to Gladepaw,
"Are you alright?" she asked, her eyes were brimming with worry.
"I'm fine," Gladepaw reassured her with a small lick to her cheek, "This wasn't my first fall, and it won't be my last."
They continued walking, and Gladepaw continued falling, but they managed to finally make it to the nursery.
"Well, we're here, that took forever, I bet our brothers are going to start their apprenticeships soon!" Buckpaw exclaimed.
"Brothers?" Fawnpaw asked.
Gladepaw wondered if she was disappointed, that she was the only she-cat out of her siblings, nothing in her voice gave away if she was though.
"Yeah, I forgot to tell you, they are both toms."
Delight danced in Fawnpaw's eyes, letting Gladepaw know that she wasn't upset.
"More brothers to boss around I see."
"Are you here to see the new kits?" Redkit asked, stumbling out of the nursery. She arrived at the clan some moons ago, brought there by her mother, Grim, a rogue.
Gladepaw didn't exactly know the full story, but from what he knew, Grim left her with the clan, saying that she didn't have the means to care for a kit.
Behind her, came Pansystep, who recently recieved her warrior name. She wasn't a queen, but she liked to hang out in the nursery, especially with Redkit.
Gladepaw wondered if she was hoping to become her mentor when she became old enough to be apprenticed, which would be about two moons away.
Redkit then went away, to go pounce on Softkit.
"Be gentle Redkit!" Honeysucklenose, Redkit's foster mother, scolded her, "She's a lot smaller than you."
"It's okay, I can take her on easily," Softkit mewed, wiggling out from under Redkit, and pouncing on her back.
Her two littermates, Silentkit and Briarkit, were by their mother, Sparkflame. They weren't as outgoing as their sister. In fact, Silentkit was said to be mute, and Softkit, as vibrant as she was, was deaf in one ear, though you could hardly tell.
Gladepaw sometimes wondered if their clan was cursed, first with him, now with Silentkit and Softkit.
He just hoped that nothing would be wrong with the newly born kits.
"They are called Moosekit and Elkkit," Doeleap meowed, looking down at the two tiny kits which were nuzzling into her belly. One, the larger one, was dark brown like his father, Cloverear, and the other one was fawn coloured, like Doeleap, Fawnpaw, and Buckpaw.
"Buckpaw, I know you want to spend more time with your siblings, but could you please go to HerbClan to ask them for some catmint for me? I heard about what is going down at WaterClan, and I want to be prepared in case it hits here," Flutterwing, the medicine cat, meowed, pushing her way into the nursery.
"Can I help?" Gladepaw asked.
"I don't know, our whole clan might be dead by the time we get back if you come," Buckpaw snorted.
"Don't listen to him, of course you can go and help," Flutterwing meowed, fixing Buckpaw with a stern gaze.
"Come on then, we need to make a move on as soon as possible," Buckpaw sighed, prancing out of the nursery. That's how he tended to move, instead of walking or running, he pranced.
"Actually, I need Gladepaw here to help clean out the dens," Dandelionpelt meowed, blocking their path.
Gladepaw started to protest, but the stern look his father gave him told him that it was no use.
He let out a sigh, he couldn't fight, he couldn't hunt, and now he wasn't even allowed to help collect herbs, would he ever be useful to his clan?
