Suntalon: sorry for the delay, the party was such a hit, but cleaning up after it was a pain in the butt. Next time I should have Spottedleaf clean up, but without further delay, read on!
Chapter 7
Jayfeather could hear Lionblaze padding outside of the nursery den. Jayfeather heard Cinderheart screech and heard the first kit slide and plop then he ripped open the sack and pushed it over to Daisy who began licking its fur the opposite way to warm it up. Then Cinderheart screeched again, but not as loud and Lionblaze jumped in, but was quickly pushed back out of the den. Jayfeather ripped open the sack again, and then pushed it over to Ferncloud, who began licking it just like Daisy had, and Cinderheart gave out one more screech and the last one plopped out and Jayfeather ripped open the sack and began licking it also. Then, Lionblaze padded in, and when he saw Cinderheart he ran over and looked at her and mewed, "we have beautiful kits." Then, he asked "what should we name them?" "I would like to name the silver she-cat with purple eyes Heatherkit and the little she-cat with a golden coat and amber eyes, Amberkit, and you can name the last little tom." "I think that I will name it Hawkkit, because he will be as strong as a hawk when he is older." Lionblaze mewed. Then, they watched the kits pawing at Cinderheart's belly.
Jayfeather padded out of the den, only to be met by Leafpool, who mewed "are they okay? Do they look nice?" "why don't you go see for yourself?" Jayfeather replied tartly, and padded off without waiting for an answer. Then, he padded into his den and grabbed some borage, so he could give it to Cinderheart later.
Jayfeather heard paw steps pad quickly through the gorse tunnel and felt waves of panic coming off of Spiderleg. "Jayfeather its Brambleclaw, by the Sky Oak hurry, he was attacked by a fox." Jayfeather immediately called for Leafpool, who rushed over and mewed "I am no longer medicine cat, but how can I help." Jayfeather pointed his tail towards some cobwebs, then he picked up some marigold leaves and rushed into the forest closely followed by Leafpool.
Jayfeather bent over Brambleclaw, who was gasping for breath. He had been sliced down the side and blood was rushing out. Jayfeather suddenly heard paw steps and heard Squirrelflight screech brambleclaws name. Leafpool began putting cobwebs on the wound, and Jayfeather began chewing the marigold leaves into a pulp. As Leafpool put the last remaining cobwebs on Brambleclaw's breath had slowed down, and he was asleep. A few apprentices had made a nest around Brambleclaw, and Squirrelflight slept next to him, but Jayfeather couldn't help, but wonder if Brambleclaw would make it through the night.
