"Sky, do you want me to go get the rest of the prey? You can stay here, there wasn't that much left." He said, turning to the tom.

"Oh! Sure." The tom said, obviously not used to help from others, and Lionblaze couldn't help but to smile as he got ready to climbed back down the ladder, when suddenly a familiar voice cut through the air.

"Lionblaze!"

Lionblaze's eyes widened in surprise as Cinderheart's grey pelt flashed across the floor and up the ladder. He quickly took a step back to keep from being knocked over.

"Cinderheart! Is everything alright? Is Jayfeather okay?" He asked anxiously.

"Yes, yes the others are fine! But what about you? You disappeared, and I started to worry." Her gaze flickered to Sky and Cloud. "They haven't hurt you, have they?" She added in a low voice.

Lionblaze almost laughed at the mere idea of another cat being able to hurt him, but he quickly stiffened it. Cinderheart continued to stare at him, worry filling her gentle blue eyes. "No, they haven't hurt me. I was just helping them hunt. Come on, we can go." He murmured gently. Then, turning to face Sky and Cloud he added, "I'm sorry, Sky, but we need to go. My friends and I need to find a place to stay for the night and it's already getting dark." The white tom nodded his understanding, but he kept a wary eye on Cinderheart.

"Come on." Lionblaze said, running his tail across Cinderheart's flank. "Let's go find the others."

The she-cat nodded, and they started down the later, when suddenly Cloud's voice called, "Wait!"

Lionblaze stopped and turned around. The she-cat's blue eyes were wide, like she hadn't meant to speak, but she continued anyway. "You helped us. Let us help you. You and your friends can stay here for the night, if you wish. We've plenty of room." Lionblaze blinked and looked at Cinderheart. She shrugged.

"Alright." Lionblaze said, facing the she-cat again. "Thank you." He quickly turned and let Cinderheart lead him down the ladder once more.

As they exited the nest, Cinderheart faced him unsurely. "Lionblaze, we just met them. Are you sure you can trust them?" Lionblaze hesitated, then nodded slowly.

"Sky would have already tried to kill me if he thought I was a threat. Besides, we out number them, and they aren't stupid. Sky knows it he tries hurting any of us then he would be endangering not only himself, but Cloud and his kits." Cinderheart nodded slowly.

"You're right. No parent would ever endanger their kits life. Not even a loner." Lionblaze nodded.

"Did the others come with you?" He asked, changing the subject.

"No, they're still resting."

"Alright. Let's go get them and take them to the nest, then I can go back and get the rest of the prey Sky and I caught." Cinderheart nodded, and they began their walk back to their temporary campsite. They walked in silence the rest of the way, and when they finally got back, they found Jayfeather staring off into space, his brilliant blue eyes dull, and Dovewing and Hollyleaf asleep in the fading sunlight.

"You wake them up; I'll get Jayfeather." Lionblaze said. Cinderheart's gaze softened and she nodded her understanding before padding over to the two she-cats. Lionblaze torn his gaze from the grey she-cat and padded slowly towards his brother. Then, he gently probed his side.

"Come on, Jayfeather." He murmured gently. "We have a place to stay for the night. But you have to get up. Can you walk?" Slowly, the blind tom rose, and nodded. "Alright. Can you follow me?" Another nodded. "Okay. Just follow my scent." Lionblaze walked slowly, giving the tom time to follow. He glanced back once, and noticed that Dovewing and Hollyleaf had gone to either side of the tom, in case he fell. Lionblaze relaxed slightly, glad that the others really cared so much about his brother. He hadn't truly doubted them, but it seemed impossible that any cat could worry about his brother as much as he did.

"How much farther?" Dovewing asked, padding forward after they had walked a ways. "I'm not sure how much farther Jayfeather can go."

"Not much farther." He assured her, but he felt a ping of worry. He couldn't remember. Were they almost there? What if they passed it? But then, the scent hit his nose. It was the same musky scent Sky had. Lionblaze almost laughed out loud. If he just followed it, they would definitely reach the Twoleg nest. "We're nearly there." He called out. And it was the truth. It wasn't long before the faded red nest come into sight.

"Follow me!" He commanded, though there was no need. He knew the others trusted him enough to follow him, even into a Twoleg nest.

Lionblaze hurried inside, and bolted up the ladder, trusting the others to help Jayfeather.

"Sky; Cloud." He called softly.

"Lionblaze!" Cloud's voice purred, her fluffy white pelt coming into view. She smiled at him. He smiled back weakly.

"I've brought my friends. But… I should warn you, one of them is… he's not well. He's been hurt recently, and he might not be too… friendly." He cautioned.

"It's alright. We wouldn't take offense, if that's what you mean. And we'll be kind. We've seen lots of hurt cats before." Lionblaze gave her a puzzled look, but before he could ask, Cinderheart called his name.

He quickly dipped his head to the two cats and hurried out of the hay and to the ladder, where the other three cats were waiting. All three were panting slightly. It obviously hadn't been easy getting Jayfeather up the ladder, and he felt a little guilty about not helping them, but he quickly pushed that away.

"There are two cats already living here that agreed to help us." He warned, "So be kind to them. They're both decent cats, and they're letting us stay here."

Hollyleaf rolled her eyes. "We aren't kits, Lionblaze." She said, a purr in her voice. "We can behave."

Lionblaze smiled. "I'll believe it when I see it." He teased. She stuck her tongue out. Dovewing and Cinderheart laughed, and Lionblaze just rolled his eyes. "Come on." He said, "Come meet Sky and Cloud." He led them through the hay, and to the two snow white cats.

"This is Sky," He said, pointing to the cat with his tail. Sky nodded curtly. "And this is Cloud." Cloud smiled, and nodded to them.

"And this is Cinderheart, Hollyleaf, Dovewing, and Jayfeather." He said, pointing again to each cat in turn. They all smiled, except Jayfeather, who had a lost sort of look in his eye.

"Would you like some prey?" Cloud asked with a smile. "We've got plenty."

"Yes, thank you." Cinderheart purred.

"And when we're done I can go get the rest of the prey we could." Lionblaze added to Sky.

The tom shook his head. "No need. I already brought it back."

"Thank you." Lionblaze said, dipping his head. Sky nodded in acknowledgement.

The cats each took a piece of prey. Lionblaze shared a squirrel with Cinderheart. They were nearly done, when Cloud asked, "Isn't he going to eat?" Lionblaze looked up in surprise, and saw that Jayfeather wasn't eating. In fact, the tom had barely moved since they arrived.

"Oh. Yes." The gold tom quickly got to his paws and quickly picked up a mouse and took it over to his brother. "Jayfeather, please eat. You need to get strong again." Obediently, the grey tom bent his head down and took a bite. Then another. And another.

Lionblaze sighed in relief and sat back down. "At least his eating." He mused.

"Too bad he doesn't do it without being told." Cinderheart murmured sleepily.

Yawning, Lionblaze replied softly, "Kit steps, Cinderheart. Kit steps." Then, he closed his eyes and fell into an unexpectedly peaceful slumber.

Lionblaze woke with a jolt to the sound of wailing. His eyes flew open, and darted straight to Jayfeather, but the tom was just sitting quietly, staring into nothing again. The wailing was coming from Cloud.

"What? What is it?" Sky demanded, bending close to his mate.

"The kits are coming." Cloud managed to gasp before another cry of pain escaped her.

"The kits!" Sky gasped, his eyes wide with fear for his mate.

"Cinderheart!" Lionblaze said, but the she-cat had already run to Cloud's side.

"Go get some moss and soak it in water! Quickly!" She commanded Hollyleaf, falling easily into the role of the medicine cat. "Lionblaze, go get a stick. Something that will fit into her mouth, so she can bite on it." Lionblaze nodded, and hurried down the ladder and into the trees, searching for the stick. He finally found it, a round, lumpy stick that would be perfect for Cloud to bite. He hurried back to deliver it. Once that was done, he settled down to wait, knowing there wasn't much he could do. He trusted Cinderheart's skills.

Hopefully skill would be enough.


And scene. ^-^ Wait... this isn't a play! Aww... sorry if you thought it was, turns out it isn't. Also, I have no idea if cats can really stick their tonuges out at people, but Hollyleaf can. ^-^ (NEW FAVORITE FACE! XD) Review, if it suits you. And tell me if you're disappointed that this isn't a play! I am!
