A/n: Here is another chapter of Nothing but a monster. The next upload will be on Mismatched curse. Thanks to Flamestar00 and CherryBlaze of Breezeclan for following and adding this story as a favorite. Just a little announcement guys, no other cat has amber eyes besides Fang, so if your kit had amber eyes, I changed it to a different color. Sorry if you don't like that, but that's what I came up with.

Toadsplash's pov
I woke up the next day to a loud yowl. I lifted my head from Duskcloud's shoulder and looked at the entrance to the den. Everyone else was awake as well. Shadestone was outside already along with Sootear, Smokeblaze, and Palestone. I stood up hesitantly and looked down at Duskcloud.
"What's happening," she murmured. "I'll go check," I whispered back and padded outside. Redflower ran into the nursery. Flowerpool was having her kits. I backed up into the warrior den and looked over my shoulder. "Flowerpool's kitting," I said. Duskcloud immediately stood up and brushed pass me. Duskcloud, Palestone, and Flowerpool were sisters.
I sighed and padded outside and joined the rest of the warriors. "Toadsplash, a word please," Miststar said from her den. I flattened my ears and padded to her den instead of outside the nursery. "Yes?" I said. "Flowerpool is kitting?" she asked. I nodded. "Good, more warriors," I heard her mutter.
"Good, send one hunting patrol and that should do it," she said. "But we already have our fresh-kill pile full," I said. She narrowed her eyes. "I said, send one hunting patrol," she said. I growled slightly and padded outside. Everyone was near the nursery. I walked over to the Fog Crevice and leapt onto it. "Fogclan, Miststar says there should be one hunting patrol, Mudstorm, take Smokeblaze and Sootear hunting near the Fogless Pond," I yowled.
Mudstorm nodded and began padding away. Smokeblaze and Sootear took the lead and swiftly padded away. I lashed my tail and leapt down from the Fog Crevice. I padded over to Duskcloud and Palestone. I sat down behind them. Shadestone was pacing and Stripesky went into the med-cat den.
Was it like this when Miststar was kitting? I flicked my ear and heard another yowl. The hunting patrol came back soon after with one or two pieces of prey each. Sootear left his prey at the fresh-kill pile and walked over to Palestone. He nuzzled her and she licked his ear. I looked away and saw Redflower starting to walk out.
"Three healthy kits," Redflower said. Shadestone walked pass her and entered the nursery. Palestone and Duskcloud followed him. I swayed my tail and closed my eyes. I opened my eyes soon after and looked around. Mudstorm was sharing prey with Stripesky.
I looked towards the nursery again and saw Duskcloud coming out. "Want to see them?" she said. I stood up and hesitantly walked inside. I saw three little kits near Flowerpool's belly. "Why'd you bring him here," Shadestone snarled and glared at me. He stood behind Flowerpool and curled his tail around her protectively.
"He just came to see them. He does have to report to Miststar," Duskcloud said and lashed her tail. "Fine," Shadestone spat and looked down at his kits. One had light silver fur with white paws. "This is Dovekit," Flowerpool said and lightly place her tail on the silver kit.
"This is Echokit," Shadestone said. I saw Palestone bring Sootear inside the den. Echokit had grey fur with no markings. "And this one is Leopardkit," Flowerpool pointed to the last kit. It was a she-kit with golden brown fur. "Two she-kits and one tom," Sootear said. "Obviously," I murmured and Duskcloud flicked me with her tail.
She smiled and I chuckled. "They're beautiful," I said and stood up. Duskcloud stood up as well and we padded outside together. "I am going to tell Miststar," I said and began padding to the leaders den. I poked my head in. "Two she-kits and one tom. Leopardkit and Dovekit are the she-kits and Echokit is the tom," I said. Miststar nodded and began grooming her fur.
I sighed and backed outside. I walked over to Duskcloud. "Want to hunt?" I asked. She nodded and we began padding outside. We went over to the Fogless Pond. I stalked alongside the edge of the pond and looked into the water. "Streamclan patrol," Duskcloud said and crouched down further.
I flattened myself against the ground and stared into the direction of Streamclan. I saw Riverfang, Redwing, Bluespark, Mothflight, and Firedust walking on the other side of the Fogless Pond.
Mothflight was in the back panting. "Keep up elder," Bluespark sneered. Firedust ran into him and Bluespark lashed out at the ginger tom. He landed on his side and looked around frantically. "You as worthless as a blind mouse, you already have the blind part," Bluespark growled. Riverfang and Redwing were sitting down close to each other.
I flattened my ears. Bluespark's electric blue eyes looked in our direction. Mothflight sat next to Firedust panting rapidly. He looked like he was going to fall down from exhaustion. I unsheathed my claws when Bluespark stalked over to him. "What do we do," Duskcloud whispered in my ear. I jumped forward and sprinted to Bluespark.
I tossed him onto his side and stood in front of Firedust and Mothflight. Duskcloud joined me. "Toadsplash, what is the meaning of this," Riverfang finally walked over to Bluespark. Bluespark was his son. "You're son here was about to kill Firedust," I snarled. "No I wasn't I-I was going to help them, then he came," Bluespark lied. I use to do that.
"Liar," I snarled and my fur bristled. The only elder in our camp died because I couldn't save him. Fang showed up in camp and killed him. I didn't have a chance to save him. Mothflight was still panting but very lightly now. "Take better care of your clan-mates Riverfang," I snarled and lashed my tail.
"Like you do that," Riverfang stood up tall. I was smaller than him. I snarled, size didn't matter. "Where's Palestone, I thought you did everything with her," Bluespark snarled. I flattened my ears. Duskcloud stood close to me. "What happens in Fogclan isn't your concern," she snarled and her fur bristled.
"Then how I treat my warriors isn't your concern," Riverfang snarled back. Duskcloud perked her ears up and turned around. "He's here," Mothflight gasped and stumbled to Riverfang.
I turned around and crouched. I saw two amber eyes appear behind a bush. They began changing to red. What was happening? "Toadsplash, run," Duskcloud said. I looked at her; she was staring at the red eyes.
I looked behind me, the Streamclan cats were gone. I looked back and Fang was out of the bush. He glanced at Duskcloud and behind me. He began running and I stepped back. He leapt into the air and ran after the Streamclan cats. I flicked my ear. Why didn't he attack us?
Duskcloud sighed and leaned against me. "Let's go back to camp," I heard her mutter. I nodded and we began walking back into Fogclan territory and back to camp. "Do you know why he didn't attack us?" I asked. "Um, no clue," she said quickly. She was lying. "I know your lying," I said.
She looked at me and shook her head. "I am not," she said and began walking quicker. I easily kept up with her and she refused to look at me. "What's wrong," I said. "Nothing," she said immediately. We entered camp and she began walking away to the warriors den. I followed her and she stood in front of Smokeblaze.
I quickly backed out of the den before they saw me. I sat outside and flicked my ear. "Do you know when we can tell the clan," I heard Duskcloud say. "We need to talk to Palestone and Flowerpool before we decide," Smokeblaze said. "I already talked to them, they said whenever you want to," Duskcloud snarled.
"We just can't leave, Flowerpool has kits, Palestone is now expecting kits, and you have a mate," Smokeblaze said. "T-Toadsplash," Duskcloud stuttered. "Yes, he is your mate right," Smokeblaze snarled. They were quiet. "Um," Duskcloud broke the silence. "Tell him, tell him how you feel about him and see what he says," Smokeblaze said.
"What if he doesn't fell the same way," Duskcloud murmured. "You two are inseparable, I see you everywhere with him, you two are practically mates," Smokeblaze said. He sighed. "I am sure he feels the same way," Smokeblaze reassured Duskcloud. I backed away from the entrance and padded over to the fresh-kill pile.
I quickly grabbed a woodpecker and sat outside the entrance of the den again. "But what about you, are you going to go with him," Duskcloud asked. I perked my ears up and bit into the bird. "Most likely," Smokeblaze said. "What if he ends up killing you," Duskcloud asked.
"I am sure I can control my own brother," Smokeblaze chuckled. I flicked my ears and looked around. "Ok, I'll go talk to Toadsplash now," Duskcloud said. I swayed my tail and bit down on the bird again. Duskcloud ran into me and I lashed my tail. "Oh, d-did you hear anything," she asked.
I shook my head. She sighed. "Why," I asked. I didn't want to make her suspicious. "No reason," she said and sat down next to me. I passed her the bird and she bit into it. We shared the woodpecker and finished it soon after.
I rested my head on my paws and closed my eyes. "Can I talk to you about something," Duskcloud asked soon after. I opened my eyes and lifted my head. "Sure," I said. "Out of camp," she said and stood up. I stood up and followed her to the Fogless Hill. I sat down and she stayed standing. "What happened to you," she asked.
"What do you mean," I said. "Well, almost a moon ago, we hated each other and you were hated by the entire clan," she said and sat in front of me. I wanted to tell her about Miststar's plans. I couldn't. "I guess I just wanted to have an easier time in the clan without having someone wanting to kill me every second," I said and smirked.
She smiled and shook her head. "I never wanted to kill you, I just hated the way you acted," she said. I laughed slightly. "But now, you changed. A-And I don't hate you, I want to be with you all the time, I-I love you Toadsplash," she said. My pelt grew hot and my heart began beating faster.
I smiled and nuzzled her. "I told you remember," I said and smiled. She purred and I licked her cheek. "Will you be my mate," I said. She smiled and nodded. I touched noses with her and she purred. Here in Fogclan, mates touch noses to approve one another.
I nuzzled her again and stood up. "We should head back before Miststar gets angry at me for leaving camp too often," I said and smiled. Miststar. I frowned and we began walking back to camp. She told me not to fall in love. I glanced at Duskcloud.
We entwined tails and began walking back to camp together.

Snowstrike's pov
I watched as Frozencloud, Blizzardclaw, and Specklefrost dragged Whiteleaf's body out of camp. I curled my tail around my paws trying to warm them up. I looked at Bluestorm. He knows. Whiteheart was padding up to us. She wasn't as happy or energetic as she used to be.
"I overheard Icestar and Frozencloud talking last night while you were doing vigil, w-we might be joining Fogclan soon. I perked my ears up. This is what Fang told me about. "Do you know when?" I asked. She shook her head. "When Icestar makes a meeting, she will be telling us, Cloudshadow and Goldenhawk went to go tell Fogclan," Whiteheart said.
I heard a yowl and we turned around. I saw Glacierstone run out of the nursery and to the med-cat den. I looked at Bluestorm and Whiteheart. "Someone's kitting," Whiteheart said and we walked over to the nursery.
Leafstone ran into the nursery and Glacierstone went in as well. Glacierstone padded outside. "Who's kitting," Whiteheart asked. "Both of them," Glacierstone said and sprinted to the med-cat den. I looked at Bluestorm. How many will there be? I saw Icestar pad out of her den and looked at us. "More cats, excellent," she said and padded over to us.
We sat outside for what seemed like moons. Everyone was in camp by then and Leafstone padded outside. "All the kits survived," she said and padded over to her den. I flicked my ear and looked at the nursery.
I sighed and padded inside. Glacierstone was crouched over Silversnow. Iceflower was grooming her kits. I padded over to Iceflower instead of Silversnow. "What are their names," I asked. "This one is Stonekit," she flicked her tail to a grey tom with dark grey tabby stripes.
"This one is Silverkit," she said and flicked her tail to a small silver she-kit. "And this one I haven't thought of a name for," she said and placed her tail lightly on a pale blue-grey tom. "Hmm," I said and looked down at the kit. "Rain," I heard someone whisper. I turned around and flicked my ear.
"Did you hear that Snowstrike," Iceflower asked. I nodded and looked around. "Rain…kit," the voice whispered again. "Rainkit," I said and looked down at the little tom. Iceflower smiled. Bluestorm and Whiteheart were talking to Silversnow. I felt bad for Iceflower; Stonedrop was the only cat who paid attention to her.
"They're beautiful," I purred. Iceflower nodded and yawned. "I'll let you get some rest," I said and padded over to Silversnow. "Snowstrike, Silversnow just said the kits names, where were you?" Bluestorm said. I flicked my tail over to Iceflower.
"I can introduce them," Glacierstone said. He nosed a little light brown she-kit. "This one is Cloverkit," he said. He touched his nose against a brown she-kit with a plumy tail. "Mosskit," he said. "And this last one is Midnightkit," he flicked his tail to a small black she-kit with white speckles. I flattened my ears. Why did he nose the other two but not Midnightkit?
Silversnow flattened her ears as well. "These kits will be excellent warriors," Glacierstone placed his tail around Cloverkit and Mosskit. "Glacierstone, go hunt," Silversnow snarled. He flattened his ears and padded outside reluctantly. "What was that about," Bluestorm said.
"He doesn't believe Midnightkit is strong enough to become a warrior," Silversnow muttered and licked Midnightkit's head. I looked down at the little kit. She was way smaller than the other two. "No matter, they are my kits and I will treat them equally," Silversnow purred and nuzzled her three kits.
I nodded and padded outside. It was sunhigh. I am supposed to meet Fang at moonhigh. I swayed my tail and looked around. Goldenhawk and Cloudshadow padded to Icestar's den. Icestar nodded and walked over to the Snow Stump.
I flattened my ears. "Hailclan, gather here for a clan meeting," Icestar yowled. I padded over and sat beside Bluestorm. "We have talked to Fogclan, we need protection since Fang has killed more warriors from both of our clans," Icestar yowled.
"We are to meet up with them near the abandoned forest when the kits are able to walk on their own," Icestar yowled. "Fogclan also has new kits, so we will both be waiting," she yowled. "Does anybody think otherwise," Frozencloud yowled.
"What will our clan be named," Glacierstone yowled. "What do you mean," Frozencloud asked. "Well, we can't be separate clans if we are supposed to be together as one," Glacierstone said. I lashed my tail and perked my ears up.
"We will decide once we meet up and make our new camp in the forest," Icestar yowled. "This meeting is over," Icestar yowled and leapt down from the Snow Stump. I stood up and stretched. "Well, what do you want to do," Whiteheart said. I looked up at the sky. Almost night.
I walked over to the warriors den. I curled up in my nest and fell asleep. I woke up later that night and blinked the sleep away. Everyone was asleep. I smiled and stood up. I stalked out of the den. Nobody was on guard. I sprinted out of camp and ran towards the Frozen Pond.
I slowed down and sat down near the edge of the pond. Fang wasn't here yet. I rested my head on my paws and closed my eyes. I kept my ears perked up. I heard something moving through the snow. I lifted my head and looked behind me. Fang was crouched down.
I stood up and swayed my tail. His eyes were red. I flattened my ears. "Fang," I said. He flicked his ear and shook his head. He sat down and shook his head again. His eyes were slowly changing back to amber.
"Fang," I said again. He stopped moving and looked up. "I can't control this Snow," he whispered. He stood up and slowly padded over to me. "Fogclan and Hailclan are joining together in a couple of moons," I blurted out. "Where exactly," he said. I flattened my ears.
If I tell him I betray the clan, if I don't, will he still trust me? I closed my eyes. "In the abandoned forest," I whispered. He sat in front of me. "What's wrong," he said. "I am not supposed to tell you all about the clans," I said and looked at him. "They won't find out," he said and nuzzled me.
I looked away and stared towards the Fog Forest, Fogclan's home. I narrowed my eyes. "Hey, I can still see you in the forest, I know my way around it," he said and smiled. I purred slightly and licked his cheek. "The clans won't stand in my way," he purred and nuzzled me. I sighed and leaned against him. He licked my ear.
"Go to sleep, I will wake you up so you can go back to camp later," he whispered. I laid on my belly and curled up next to him. He licked my cheek. "Good night," he purred in my ear and I fell asleep.

A/N: Another chapter! Thanks to everyone who reviewed last time. If you have ideas for a clan name for when they go to the abandoned forest, leave it in a review or pm me. Hope you guys like the places I put the kits in, the Streamclan kits won't be added until later. Thank you and peace out.
