10. Warriors of Sands

Chapter 9

Coaltail yawned and looked at the rising sun, wishing someone would come out and tell them they could sleep. He was exhausted. Spending an entire night awake was tough but he had managed to do it, unlike Peaknose, SpiritSong and Leafwhisker. He stood and poked Leafwhisker with his paw, lightly bit Peaknose's tail, and leapt on SpiritSong. After all three were awake he returned to his spot, glancing behind him. He almost cheered as he saw DuskRose step from the warriors den. He waved his tail at her as she walked to them. "You may all speak now. I suggest you all curl up in your nests and catch up on your sleep." The four nodded and stumbled to the warriors den, curling up in their nests. SunHeart, DawnWing and LionFlight slipped from the den to let the tired warriors sleep in peace. When Coaltail awoke and stepped from the warriors den he noticed everyone gone except ShadowFeather, SparrowStar and WindTalker. Coaltail smiled and walked over to ShadowFeather, sitting beside her and resting his tail on her shoulders. "Good morning ShadowFeather. How are you today?" ShadowFeather smiled at him. "I'm well, and you?" Coaltail removed his tail from her shoulders. "I'm alright. Where is everyone?" ShadowFeather tucked her front paws under her, settling next to the pond. "SunHeart is leading DawnWing, and PeakNose on a border patrol. DuskRose is leading SpiritSong, LionFlight and Leafwhisker on a hunting patrol." Coaltail nodded as he settled next to her. "When are they due back?" ShadowFather was about to answer when WindTalker burst from the nursery. "SparrowStar's kitting!" Coaltail and ShadowFeather leapt to their feet and ShadowFeather turned to Coaltail. "Go fetch SunHeart. He'll want to be here. Hurry." Coaltail nodded and dashed off as ShadowFeather slipped into the nursery. She settled next to SparrowStar, gently licking her head. "You'll be ok, SparrowStar. Your kits will be beautiful and healthy. I've sent Coaltail to fetch SunHeart." SparrowStar nodded. "Thank you." WindTalker slipped back in and crouched next to SparrowStar. Just as the first kit slid out SunHeart padded into the den. He sat next to his mate, murmuring encouraging words to her. Moments later a healthy tom was curled up next to SparrowStar's belly. "Oh, SunHeart. He looks like you. Look at his golden pelt. What shall we name him?" Sunheart thought for a moment. "How about Sandkit?" SparrowStar smiled. "I love it. SandKit, welcome to LifeClan."
