Sadly no reviews. O well maybe next time… I never remember to do the disclaimer afterwords so I'm doing it now. Goldenflwoer say the disclaimer.
Goldenflower: But I'm going to have kits!
Me: I. Don't. Care.
Goldenflower: (grumbling) Mysticbreeze327 doesn't own warriors, me, or anything else. (pads off to the nursey)
Rippleclaw: Whats wrong Goldie?
Goldenflower: Mystic….ze..7
Me: That's right!
Tigerclaw: Just start with the story already! (glares at Rippleclaw)
Rippleclaw: (glares back) Yea! Start it!
Me:
Fine… (smiles evilly)
Tigerclaw and Rippleclaw: (gulps)
Tigerclaw stood in the shadow of the den, his ears and eyes pointed at the nursery. Rippleclaw was pacing outside, a worried look plastered on his face and his tail lashing in frustration. Spottedpaw, Featherwhisker's apprentice, slipped inside, a bundle in her mouth containing poppyseeds, borage, cobwebs, juniper berries, willow bark, and honey. Tigerclaw's ears pricked higher in surprise at the weird mixture of roots and berries. He quickly hurried out of the shadows and to the apprentice who had slipped out again to talk to Rippleclaw.
Rippleclaw was speaking. "Willow bark." "That's used as a pain killer isn't it?"
"Yes," Spottedpaw answered, her voice soft and soothing. "Goldenflower had a tough time." "She looked around her shoulder as she heard Tigerclaw approaching. "Yes Tigerclaw," she asked, her tone pleasant.
Tigerclaw opened his mouth to speak when Lionheart barged into him, bowling him over.
"IssheallrightSpottedpaw?" "Ifsheisn'twhat'swrong?"
"What," Spottedpaw asked as confused as everyone else.
"Is she all right Spottedpaw," Lionheart said at least 10 times slower. "If she isn't what's wrong?" "AndsorryTigerclaw." He muttered the end so fast that Tigerclaw barely caught it as it zoomed past.
"Well as you three are so worried, why don't you go see her yourself," Spottedpaw suggested and she led them through the fern tunnel.
Rippleclaw dashed ahead calling, "Goldenflower!"
"Goldenflower are you all right?"
Spottedpaw, Tigerclaw, and
Lionheart all spoke at the same time. "Mousebrain." Laughing they
hurried down the path.
The smell of blood and bitter pain filled Tigerclaw's nose as he padded to the nests. He stopped in surprise as he saw that the soil underneath his paws was damp and sticky. He could see Goldenflower now, her back was to him, her ginger coat turned red.
Spottedpaw gasped and yowled, "You stay there!" She dashed to her mentor who was working with a frown on his face. She muttered softly to Featherwhisker and dashed back to them her face worried. She brushed Lionheart on the way out, causing him to fall to the ground the second time that day.
Tigerclaw helped him up, offering him his paw. They sat down to wait.
Rippleclaw soon joined them. His face was twisted in anxiety and his paws churned the earth.
Lionheart spoke to him softly but firmly. "What's happening Rippleclaw?"
Rippleclaw shuddered than looked up. "The kits…" he said weakly and then toppled to the floor. Tigerclaw felt a nudge at his shoulder and saw Spottedpaw with her mouthful herbs looking at Rippleclaw and slowly rolling her eyes.
She dashed to Featherwhisker and spat out the herbs and dashed back out of the tunnel. (lots of dashing huh) Seconds later she was back with another mouthful of herbs. She explained as she worked. "Thyme for anxiety and nervousness and poppy seeds for the pain." "He's really worked up and needs to sleep." "You bring him to the warriors den and I'll fetch you when Goldenflower's ready."
Lionheart nodded and mewed, "thanks Spottedpaw my sister means a lot to me." Then he grasped at Rippleclaw's scruff and nodded at Tigerclaw, signaling him to take his legs. Together they dragged him to the warriors den and dropped him in the den that he usually curled up in with Goldenflower. Exhausted, the two warriors dropped into a nest curling up together.
And that's the end of this chapter. Next will be Spottedpaw waking them up and all and yea Rippleclaw will over react…
Please review or else I won't update. E.V.E.R. That's still won't give me reviews though most likely…. (sigh) its not like many people even read this…
