Hi again guys! Will probably have Ravenstream kit next chapter. Today is all about kits. I have my first job interview today! I'm suuuper nervous. Do any of you have jobs or, do you all just sit around waiting for me to update? Anyhoot, I don't own the wonderous world of Warriors, Erin Hunter does.
Many cats tried to sympathize Darkkit. They were always trying to help her. She would then turn and complain to Ravenstream about it. "I hate it Ravenstream! They think I can't do anything by myself! Well, I'm gonna show them! I'm gonna be leader of DawnClan!" The young kit told her friend one day. Ravenstream purred.
"That'll show them Darkkit! You would be the first blind leader in all of DawnClan history." Ravenstream pointed out. Darkkit fluffed out her chest fur a bit. "You could show all those cats that blind cats can do just as much as seeing cats." Ravenstream licked the kits head affectionately.
"Yea! You could be my deputy Ravenstream!" Darkkit mewed. Ravenstream chuckled.
"No Darkkit, I'd be much to old. Maybe Nightkit could be your deputy?" The queen suggested. Darkkit shook her head.
"No, one of your kits is going to be my deputy." Darkkit stated. Ravenstream purred. "Yea, I'm gonna pick one when they are born and they're gonna be my deputy." Darkkit decided. She licked Ravenstream's belly and whispered, "Dear kits, please, one of you be a she-cat so we can run the Clan together. Be nice and gentle and my friend." With that, the kit took off. Ravenstream curled her tail around her belly. You heard Darkkit. One of you be her deputy. Morningkit and Flickerkit came over to Ravenstream.
"How come your kits weren't born with us?" Morningkit asked. Ravenstream thought for a moment.
"Because, my kits decided to come later." She told them. Flickerkit nodded. Morningkit snorted. "Oh? What do you think Morningkit?" Ravenstream asked, almost snapping at the kit.
"I think it's because DreamClan willed it so." He mewed. Ravenstream shrugged. "No that's the reason. Tawneyleap said so." The kit snapped. He then bounded away. Ravenstream watched him jump on Darkkit. She tensed and watched. The smaller kit struggled under the weight of Morningkit. Suddenly, she bit his ear, hard. Morningkit screamed in pain. Darkkit stood and let go.
"Take that as a warning." She spat, stalking over to Ravenstream. The kit huffed and flopped onto Ravenstream's nest. the black and grey tabby wrapped her tail around the young cat. They stayed like that till Adderstreak pushed back into the den.
"Darkkit why did you bite Morningkit?" The reddish cat asked her kit sweetly. Ravenstream flinched at the tone of the queen. It was too nice, too sweet.
"Cause Adderstreak, he attacked me for no reason! I could have smothered to death! I had to get him off." Darkkit argued. Adderstreak nodded.
"Alright just, don't do it again." The queen mewed before going onto her son.
XXxXx
A few days later, the first storm of Newleaf arrived. Thunder shook the nursery, Darkkit huddled into Ravenstream's belly, trying to block out the thunder. Darkkit told Ravenstream noises were super loud to her. Lighting took out an oak tree near the river. Rain poured at an angle, some getting into the nursery. It stormed for two day straight, the winds howling. Ravenstream would gather the kits and tell them stories to block out the weather. They learned about how DawnClan and DuskClan came to be. They learned about Bravestar, the mightiest of all the DawnClan leaders.
After two days of storms, they hunting parties came back with a mound of prey. Some of the kits tried their first pieces of prey, the Clan feasted, as they did after the first storm each Newleaf. "Ravenstream, why do we feast after the first storm?" Darkkit asked.
"Well, it goes back to the time of Rainystar. As the first real leader of Dawnclan, she was very important. Each day that changed her life, it stormed. The day she was born, storm. Each day she received her names, storm. The day she became a deputy, storm. The day her kits were born, storm. Even the day she died it stormed. So, to celebrate her, we feast the day after the first storm, it signals her birth. The last storm before leaf-bare, we mourn. It signals her death." Ravenstream told the story, attracting more kits as the story went on. Darkkit and the herd of kits nodded.
"Makes sense." Cloudkit mewed. The other kits agreed with her. Swiftlegs called her kits over to her to try some vole. Adderstreak came over to collect her wouldn't matter though, Darkkit always climbed into Ravenstream's nest at night. The black and grey tabby quuen pulled herslef up, her belly huge now. She pushed out of the nursery and stretched out her limbs. Silverstreak padded over.
"Hello Ravenstream." She mewed happily. Ravenstream finished stretching.
"Hi Silverstreak." She dipped her head to the elder. "Can I do anything for you?" The queen asked. Silverstreak shook her head. "Alright."
"How are you feeling? Excited?" Silverstreak asked, tilting her old head.
"Giant. I'm excited to have my own kits and all the other queens glaring at me for their kits liking me better." She sighed. Silverstreak laughed.
"Yes, I had that problem as a young cat. Most of the kits loved me and their mothers would always grumble at me." Silverstreak told to younger cat, spacing out. Ravenstream nodded and started towards Whisperpath's den. She poked her head into the small cave. Snowmark was soaking herbs in the small pool. The medicine cat looked up from the pool and startled.
"Oh hi Ravenstream!" The white and brown cat mewed warmly. The queen came into the cave. "What can I do for you today?" Snowmark asked, standing up.
"Um, I was just here for my kits." She touched her tail to her belly. Snowmark nodded and flicked a tail to a moss bed. Ravenstream settled on her side. Snowmark sat by her belly. She pressed her paws onto the older she-cats belly and pressed lightly. After a while she pulled away.
"About four kits I feel. If there is a fifth one it is tiny. They are all in the place they should be, ready to be born any day now." Snowmark reported happily. Ravenstream sighed in relief. She stood, thanked Snowmark and went back to the nursery.
Soooo, Ravenstream's kits will be here next chapter! Random fact time! Darkkit is modeled after Toph from Avatar the Last Airbender. She was my favorite character from the series and I knew I had to have a cat like here. Well, Darkkit is that one.
