Chapter 5
Rufflepelt waved her tail to Senseitail and Lionheart as they padded with Kohaiheart to go to the moonstone for Kohaiheart to receive her
nine lives. Rufflepelt then stretched back on her nest in the nursery. "Oi, just because we parted ways doesn't mean we have to be
enemies." Reedwhisker hissed. Rufflepelt sighed she was expecting kits soon and her only company was Reedwhisker who was also
expecting but there was no other queen since Wolfpelt had recently moved out of the nursery because her two kits were now apprentices.
Paintedpaw bounded around her mentor Fluffypelt, while Eightpaw was hissing and complaining to her mentor Dogeclaw which made
Rufflepelt almost feel bad for him. "Poor, Dogeclaw." Rufflepelt teased. While Reedpelt inched closer to Rufflepelt and looked outside
and laughed, "Yep I'm happy I'm a queen because there would be a chance of me getting her!" Reedwhisker laughed. I wish I wasn't,
Rufflepelt silently added watching the mentors and their apprentices with envy but she knew this was her destiny to have kits.
Leaf-fall soon came around the corner as fast as a monster. Reedwhisker nursed her one healthy kit, Tigerkit. Who was an orange
tabby she-kit, and Evekit a reddish-brown she-kit who surprisingly reminded Rufflepelt of herself.
Reedwhisker was right the painful experience finally came. Rufflepelt purred in amusement she had given birth to a reddish brown
tan tom, Ruffkit. A dark brown tom, Coalkit. And finally a dark brown tom, Skykit. "Your kits are almost as beautiful as mine."
Reedwhisker teased. Rufflepelt just smiled and purred softly as she stared down at her kits. "When are they going to be able to play?!"
Tigerkit mewed tackling Evekit. "Hey!" Evekit squealed. "In a moon...?" Rufflepelt asked unsure. "In a moon." Reedwhisker answered.
"But you must be gentle with them!" Rufflepelt mewed staring into the gleaming dark emerald eyes of Tigerkit which then caught Tigerkit
off guard as Evekit lunged onto Tigerkit pinning her, "Ha!" "Cheater!" Tigerkit hissed.
