Hi! I was reading through my story, when I realized that I forgot to make Seedtail and Lilyheart say the oath. XD I'm so stupid. And it is also Not Rosefur, but Petalfur. HAHAHAHAHA I'm such an idiot.

shyannada141: Thanks! I wanted to make Lightpaw a little more snobby. (I think that was the word.)

Spottedstar: Yay! You have a clan too! Call me Warstar of Warclan. I will definatly add her in, and thanks!

Snowmouse of FrostClan: OMG Thanks!

Thunderandshadowcats: Volepaw has three mentors because Graystripe was assigned to him, and Mapleshade and Thistleclaw want to influence him, so he has three mentors.

AshfurTheBroken: XD I want to make him less gullible, but I can't exactly... And, I forgot to mention that I will be using Eaglekit and Talonkit! Yay!

Thanks for the reviews. 23! I never expected that many!

This takes place soon after Volepaw's birth.


Petalfur's POV


"Petalfur!" called dappled golden she-cat.

"Yes Mothwing," Petalfur called from inside the nursery.

"How are you doing today?" Mothwing mewed as she entered the den. She had been keeping an eye on Petalfur, since her kits were due soon.

"Fine, just hungry." Petalfur was always hungry these days.

Mothwing let out a laugh. "I'll go get you something." Mothwing left, and headed towards the fresh-kill pile.

Petalfur rested her head on her paws and sighed. Am I going to be a good mother? Will the kits die? Petalfur had often had these worries, but fortunately, her mother, Icewing, had been in the nursery too. Icewing noticed Petalfur's sigh, and mewed,

"What's wrong Petalfur?" Icewing knew her daughter all too well.

Petalfur looked up at her mother and lifted her head, only to put it down again.

"I'm worried about my kits." she told her, "What if I'm a terrible mother?" Icewing looked down at her daughter.

"Petalfur," Icewing chuckled, "Don't worry." "You'll know what to do when the time comes." Nightkit crawled over Petalfur.

"Why is your belly so big?" Nightkit asked no one in particular. Petalfur and Icewing both smiled.

"Don't say that Nightkit!" Icewing scolded her son. "Mind your manners."

"It's fine Icewing." Petalfur told Icewing. She looked at Nightkit. "Kits are in there."

"You ate kits?" Shimmerkit, Nightkit's sister looked mortified. Both kits hid behind Icewing.

"No, they just happened to be there." Petalfur told the kits.

"So you didn't eat kits?" Nightkit asked.

"I did not eat any kits." Petalfur nodded. Nightkit and Shimmerkit left their hiding spot, still looking suspicious, when Mothwing returned with a trout.

"Thanks, Mothwing," Petalfur began to eat the fish. Mothwing nodded and was about to speak, but Mistystar's voice came across the clearing.

"Let all cats old enough to fish meet here for a clan meeting!" Petalfur heaved herself out of the nursery, followed by Mothwing and Icewing.

"It is time two apprentices became warriors!" The clan cheered. Petalfur felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Petalfur shook it off.

"Lizardpaw, Perchpaw," Mistystar continued, "Do you promise to uphold and protect the warrior code at the cost of your life?"

"I do," The apprenticed mewed in unison. Petalfur felt a sharper pain, and cringed. Mothwing looked at her.

"Are you okay Petalfur?" Petalfur tried to nod, but fell to the ground and let out a yowl.

Mothwing's face filled with dread. "The kits are coming!" she shouted, "Willowshine!" Mothwing tried to get Petalfur to stand. Icewing came over to help. The whole clan was now looking at the cats. You couldn't have picked a better time. Petalfur thought bitterly. She let out another yowl.

Mallownose bounded over to his mate.

"Are you okay?" Petalfur couldn't move. Petalfur finally reached the medicine cat den, and sat down in a nest. Mallownose tried to follow, but Willowshine prevented him from entering.

"Let me in!" "She's in pain!" Mallownose growled.

"We have it under control." Willowshine told him calmly. Mallownose, although still angry, said no more, and started pacing. Petalfur screeched. She could hear Mothwing fussing over her.

"Keep going Petalfur," she told Petalfur in a gentle voice, "You're doing great." Petalfur's stomach contracted.

A wet bundle fell on the floor. Icewing began licking the bundle.

"One more Petalfur." Mothwing mewed encouragingly. Another wet bundle landed on the ground. Mothwing took this one. Icewing pushed the first kit to Petalfur, who curled up around the kit. Willowshine left, then returned with Mallownose. Mallownose immediately went to his mate. Mothwing had pushed the other kit to Petalfur.

What to name them...

"Their beautiful Petalfur," Mallownose whispered.

Petalfur looked at her kits. They were both toms. One was a light brown tabby, looking just like his father.

"You name this one." Petalfur told her mate.

"How about Stormkit." Stormkit, yes, that sounds nice.

The other kit was a dark brown striped tom, with a white underbelly and ice-blue eyes.

"I want this one to be named Talonkit." Mallonose nodded. Talonkit and Stormkit.


Meanwhile... In Shadowclan... Scorchfur's POV


Scorchfur led his patrol back into the camp. They had made a good haul. Two sparrow, a mouse, and a few frogs. Scorchfur set his sparrow down on the fresh-kill pile and bounded over to the nursery.

When he poked his head inside, he saw that Dawnpelt was going on and on about what she was going to name her kits, and Snowbird nodding, dozing off here and there.

"Snowbird?" Scorchfur asked Snowbird looked up.

"Hello Scorchfur." "I'm doing well today." Scorchfur nodded, relieved.

Dawnpelt went on talking. Scorchfur took one last look at his mate and left. He went to sit in the shade to think. Snowbird's doing well, the clan is well fed, how could this day get any better.

"Littlecloud!" he heard Dawnpelt scream, "The kits are coming!" The kits are coming? Scorchfur dashed to the nursery, and barged in.

He heard Snowbird yowl and scream in pain. Littlecloud's face was filled with horror, and blood was pooling on the floor.

"Littlecloud," Scorchfur breathed, "What's. Wrong."

"I-I don't know." Littlecloud couldn't talk. "She's l-losing too much blood."

Snowbird kept screaming. Scorchfur crouched down beside her as she shook.

"Don't worry Snowbird, I'm here for you."

Don't die, please don't die.

A violent shake took over Snowbird. A kit fell to the ground. Littlecloud pushed it to Scorchfur.

"Lick."

Scorchfur did as he was told. The kit was an exact replica of her mother.

Scorchfur saw another kit being handed to him, and he pushed them both to Snowbird.

He looked at his mate. She was hardly breathing.

"Scorchfur." she whispered. "Name them Rosekit and..." "And Eaglekit." Snowbird gasped for air. "I," "Love," "You," "Scorchfur."

"Take... Take care of our kits." No, no, no, no. Scorchfur was losing it.

"No!" "Snowbird!" "Don't leave me!" "Don't leave me..." Scorchfur sobbed. Snowbird took a few more breaths.

"Goodbye, my..." Snowbird never finished her sentence. She never would. Scorchfur buried his muzzle in Snowbird's fur.

"I love you too." Her breathing came to a stop. Scorchfur stayed like that for a while, then looked at Littlecloud. The medicine cat looked overcome with sadness and defeat.

"I'm so sorry Scorchfur." Dawnpelt looked grief-stricken as well.

"What am I going to do." Scorchfur looked down at his kits. The she-cat, Rosekit looked exactly like her mother. He pulled her close. This kit could not be responsible for her mother's death. Scorchfur then looked at the other kit, the one who came out seconds before Snowbird died. This one, had a bent tail, and was a dark shade of brown. He was kneading Snowbird's stomach, trying to get milk from her.

Scorchfur glared at the kit. He was the reason Snowbird had died. He didn't care she was dead. He only wanted what he needed. Eaglekit, is that what she wanted to name him? Scorchfur would never love a killer like Eaglekit. He was no son of his.

Littlecloud finally answered his question. "Dawnpelt's kits should come in a moon, but until then, Rosekit and Eaglekit will have to live straight off of fresh-kill."

Scorchfur nodded, as Rowanclaw padded in.

"What," Rowanclaw stopped when he saw Snowbird.

"I'm sorry." Rowanclaw's face saddened.

Scorchfur didn't even hear Rowanclaw, all he could do was stare at Eaglekit.

This kit doesn't deserve to live. And now that he does, he'll have to grow up on his own.


Sorry for how short the Shadowclan part was. I ran out of ideas.

To Snowbird fans: SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY!

Tell me what you thought! Please R&R!
