+Pouncival's P.O.V.+
It's been month since Xani was killed. Samara is doing a lot better now that we both have a kit on a way.
"Pouncival! Where is my mouse?" Samara shouted from our den.
Yup, a lot better.
"I'm bringing it!" I shouted back as I ran past a giggling Jemima.
"Finally, it took you forever!" Samara sighed in content as she caught the dead mouse's scent.
I shook my head and gave it to her with a small smile. Samara's dark coat was gleaming with all of the grooming she's been doing. I could barely see the dark violet stripes that reminded all of us of Xani.
"Now, we need to figure out names for our baby." Samara settled against the blanket and petted her plump stomach.
"If it's a boy, we should name him... Octavious." I smiled at her as I sat down.
"Poof." She said out of thin air.
"Poof?" I gave her an 'are-you-okay?' look.
"Yes, Poof." Samara smiled back widely.
"Okay then, her name shall be Poof." I gave her a just as big smile.
+Tumblebrutus' P.O.V+
Today was exactly a month since Xani was taken away from me.
"Tumble... Are you alright?" I heard Jemima from behind as I watched the sun start to set.
"I'm fine." I answered and turned to give her a smile that I know didn't reach my eyes.
"May I keep you company?" Jemima asked me, giving me the pleading look in her big brown eyes.
"Yes." I nodded with her a grateful feeling washing through me from my ears to my tail.
+Munkustrap's P.O.V+
"Dueteronomy, the cats are all ready to go check out the woods behind the junkyard." I told my father with Corpricat, Skimbleshanks, Mistoffelees, Tugger, and our newest addition to the tribe, Zero.
"Good, good Munkustrap, I shall accompany you." Dueteronomy nodded at my choice of cats but shocked me when he added the last part.
"Is that wise sir?" Zero asked, his light blue eyes flashing with concern for the old cat.
"No, but in my whole life here I haven't once explored those woods. I want a chance to." Dueteronomy placed his paw on the maroon tom.
"If you say so sir." Zero looked at me first then stayed by the elders side.
"Okay, let's go." I gave a nod to my fellow tom's and we started for the woods.
+Bloodscar's P.O.V+
"Bloodscar, do you want to go on patrol with Graystipe, Sandstorm and I?" I was woken up by Fireheart asking me.
"Yeah, give me a few and I'll be there." I nodded and stretched out my cat body.
Fireheart nodded and left the den as I gave my fur a quick licking.
"Patrol then? Humph." Dustpelt yawned and gave me a glare as I left the den.
I only sighed and ran over to the waiting cats.
"Trouble waking up?" Graystripe smirked as the patrol left the clearing.
"That, and Dustpelt won't admit it, but he's starting to feel left out since Sandstorm left him for us." I yawned and gave Sandstorm my infamous raised eyebrow look.
"I'll go take him hunting." She rolled her light green eyes but hurried up to run next to Fireheart.
"Thank you." I smiled up at her but she didn't see it of course.
We ran the perimeter for a little bit before we caught strange cat scents.
"Bloodscar, do you recognize them?" Fireheart asked me when we paused to sniff them.
"I think so, I'm not entirely sure though." I gave the air a sniff and began tracking the familiar scent of toms.
'Why did they have to pick today to come out here?'I thought to myself as I began recognize Munkustrap's scent from the others.
+Samara's P.O.V.+
'Why did they have to pick today to come out here?' I heard her voice in my head again.
"No stop." I put a paw up to my head and rubbed it.
"Sammy?" I heard my mate, Pouncival, ask me.
"I'm alright Pounce." I smiled at him.
'Would you shut up conscience? I know today is the day Xani died but I don't need her voice visiting me every other day!'
