"There will be three names that will be forever repeated. One who cares for kin, One who loves for many reasons, and One who will be both of these things; this cat will be as great as you, Firestar. This cat will care for every cat knows about this one. This is the cat that will change ThunderClan forever!"

Chapter 40

Graystripe's eyes widened. "Y-you're S-Stormfur's k-kits?"

"Yes, and we were lucky to have three cats to cover for us," Runningstream continued, turning to Littlewhisker, Birchfur, and Reedfur.

"So you three knew where they went?" Firestar asked.

"Yes, the whole time," Birchfur meowed.

"Of course, we knew that Littlewhisker knew where you were. That's why we didn't panic too much," Firestar explained, eyeing Littlewhisker.

"So you knew that I knew?" Littlewhisker asked, eyes widening.

"Yes, we knew-"

A loud, announcing yowl interrupted Graystripe. Littlewhisker twirled her head to the camp's entrance. Cats ran into the camp.

"Littlewhisker, go to the nursery," Birchfur meowed urgently. "They are probably after you."

Littlewhisker opened her mouth to say against his order, but thought better. She ran to the nursery.

"Come on, let's help our Clan," Stormcloud meowed, jumping onto a dark ginger ShadowClan cat.

She landed on the cat's back clawing at the spine. The cat rounded over. Stormcloud felt the wind being knocked out of her, as she was smashed against the ground. She laid on the grounded winded. Then she felt heavy weight land on her. She looked up and saw Russetfur.

"Where's your friend?" Russetfur asked.

"I'm not telling you!" Stormcloud managed to gasp.

"I'll give you a choice," Russetfur whispered. "You will tell me where your traitor of a friend is or I'll kill you now and then kill her."

Stormcloud gazed up at Russetfur with hate in her eyes. "I would never betray Littlewhisker! I would rather die helping her than only living because I betrayed her!"

"Have it that way then," Russetfur hissed.

Russetfur raised her paw showing her thorn-sharp claws. Stormcloud still felt winded so it hurt to move. Stormcloud watched as Russetfur's claws swiped down toward her neck. Stormcloud closed her eyes. She felt the claws digging into the flesh on her neck.

Suddenly Stormcloud felt the weight disappear off of her, the claws ripping her skin on top of her throat. Her eyes flew open and she saw a blur of gray fur knock Russetfur to the ground and off back into the mass of cats. At first she had thought that it was Birchfur who had knocked Russetfur off her, but then as she replayed it through her mind she remembered the black foot.

"Cinderfoot." Her whisper was barely audible for anyone to hear, and luckily no one heard her.

She jumped to her feet and lunged at Russetfur. "You will never find out where Littlewhisker is! And for all you know she could be in this battle!"

"You think you are so wise, but you can never out smart a deputy—"

An ear-splitting yowl rang through the clearing, but no one seemed fazed by it, except Stormcloud. Stormcloud froze as she recognized the yowl. Littlewhisker.

"You should never be caught off guard," Russetfur hissed pouncing on Stormcloud, knocking her off her paws.

Another yowl made its way through the battle. Stormcloud winced at it. Russetfur scraped deep into Stormcloud's shoulder. Stormcloud let out a yelp of pain and shoved Russetfur off her.

Stormcloud struggled to her paws and looked around for Russetfur. Russetfur had just disappeared. Stormcloud was pushed over onto her back. At first she thought that it was Russetfur again, but the gray fur proved her wrong. Then the cat placed a black foot on Stormcloud's throat. Stormcloud felt as if she was going die right there.

"Why?" Stormcloud managed to choke out staring straight into Cinderfoot's eyes.

"I'm sorry," Cinderfoot whispered. "I can't go easy on you. Russetfur is watching."

"It's okay," Stormcloud gasped. She used her hind claws to scrape against Cinderfoot's soft underbelly. He yowled in pain loosening his grip on her enough to let her slip out of it. "And Russetfur can continue to watch."

"Have you told anyone?" Cinderfoot hissed lowly leaping at her.

"No, but you know Littlewhisker. She will find out no matter what," Stormcloud mewed dodging Cinderfoot's attack.

"Cinderfoot! What have I taught you?" Russetfur hissed. Stormcloud could hear the disgrace in her voice. "I taught you everything I know and you can't even beat this no good she-cat? Go and fight some other cat."

Russetfur pushed Cinderfoot out of the way. "I'll be finishing this battle." Russetfur backed away into the crowd of clashing cats.

"Where did you go?" Stormcloud hissed.

She glanced around quickly not wanting to be in too big of combat with Russetfur. Suddenly, she felt a pain stab through the side of her neck and she lost her balance. The whole camp started to spin and become a blur.

"I told you that I would finish this battle," Russetfur whispered in Stormcloud's ear. "ShadowClan! Retreat!"

Stormcloud heard the cats leave and she also heard a cat rush over to here. "Stormcloud? Are you okay?"

Stormcloud recognized Goldentail's voice. She opened her eyes. "I'm fine," she choked.

"You don't look fine. Let me help you stand up," Goldentail meowed.

With Goldentail's help, Stormcloud managed to get into a sloppy sitting position.

"Where's Birchfur?" Stormcloud gasped.

"I don't know," Goldentail meowed.

"Did you here that yowl?" Stormcloud asked. Goldentail nodded. "You know it was Littlewhisker, don't you?"

Goldentail nodded, "I bet ShadowClan tried to get into the nursery." She pointed with her tail at Runningstream. She was lying on her side as Leafpool closely examined her wounds. "She looks pretty bad. You both look pretty bad."

Stormcloud felt exhausted. "I had to fight Russetfur. She almost killed me."

"I can tell. Why was she going to kill you?" Goldentail asked, helping Stormcloud over to the nursery entrance where Leafpool was.

"She wanted me to tell her where Littlewhisker was so she could kill her and I refused."

Then two wails echoed the clearing that were a bit too familiar. Stormcloud hadn't heard her mother yowl, "Where's Birchfur" but she did here Squirrelflight cry, "Where's Littlewhisker?"

Cinderpelt came limping out of the nursery. "They are both fine. They are in the nursery."

"Why aren't they coming out?" Ferncloud asked.

"Littlewhisker had her kits," Cinderpelt explained. All of ThunderClan was silent. "And they are asking for you two," she added toward Goldentail and Stormcloud. "You can go in there to see the kits, but I want to examine your wounds," she finished, eyeing Stormcloud.

Goldentail nodded and let Stormcloud lean on her shoulder. They padded into the nursery and Stormcloud spotted Littlewhisker and Birchfur in the corner. Behind them, were Sorreltail's four kits.

Littlewhisker had her head on Birchfur's shoulder looking down at three bundles with tired eyes. Littlewhisker looked up and mewed quietly, "Goldentail! Stormcloud!"

Goldentail helped Stormcloud over so she could sit down.

"What happened, Stormcloud?" Littlewhisker asked as she looked at how injured her friend was.

"It is a long story," Stormcloud sighed. "Your kits are beautiful!"

Down at Littlewhisker's belly were three kits. There was a gray she-kit with honey-ginger splotches, a dark brown tabby (like Brambleclaw), and a pale ginger she-kit with silver flecks.

"They're beautiful," Stormcloud whispered again.

"Thank you," Littlewhisker meowed sleepily.

"We'll let you rest," Goldentail meowed, again, helping Stormcloud up. Stormcloud now had a shooting pain going through her body. "Littlewhisker's not the only one who needs to rest. You look exhausted."

"I feel exhausted," Stormcloud meowed, "and I feel like I just ran through a pile of thorns!"

"And that's why I'm taking you straight to Cinderpelt and Leafpool's den," Goldentail purred.

Littlewhisker had her kits! Their names will come in chapter 14 if I'm correct, if not, then another chapter. I'm not sure when I will update next because I have 9 days left of school and they are going to be CRAZY! So please review!
