Chapter Eight
Cloverpaw ran into the hole "I've done this kind of thing before." she said "I can help"
Wild hung back at the the den entrance with Willow and Pebble. They waited in absolute silence with rigged posture, even though Wild barely knew Stormflower she could sense to tension in the air.
After a while had passed Willow said "Something's wrong it shouldn't be taking this long." "I'll go check said Wild, entering the den. She was greeted by Stormflower laying on her side gasping for breath, while Cloverpaw frantically pushing on her stomach. "Wh-what happened" Wild said horrified by Stormflower's pain. "Something's wrong with the kit's" said Grasswhisker who had been sitting next to Stormflower "Their stuck inside of her.I-I think both my die" he sobbed.
"Not if I have anything to say about it" Cloverpaw muttered pushing harder on Stormflower's side "Wild, I need your help come help Stormflower to breath while I look at the kit." Wild took over Cloverpaw's position as the gray she-cat moved over to the kit. Wild's panic was almost overwhelming. Cloverpaw examined the stuck kit, and then said "Just as I thought, the kit is stuck in sideways. I could try to fix it, but that would be risky." Grasswhisker looked conflicted. "If it might save them" he said " Then yes...lets try it." Cloverpaw carefully pawed the kit, she pushed it around until it popped out. The kit was quickly followed by another. Soon both kits were sucking at their mother's side, who was much more comfortable now. "Oh Cloverpaw thank you" she said "You've saved me and my kit's lives." "I agree" said Grasswhisker "Thank you, I thought that I would loose my beloved just moments after finding her again.
"I think that the happy couple need some space" said Wild nudging Cloverpaw out of the den. As they emerged Willow and Pebble greeted them. "Hey Cloverpaw we heard what you did in there" said Pebble "It was really cool!" "Oh it was nothing" Cloverpaw shyly responded " Don't be so modest." Wild said nudging her " You went with your gut, and saved Grasswhisker's family." Cloverpaw blushed then suddenly said "I am getting kinda hungry now that I think about it." Wild almost smiled, she had to laugh at the cats randomness. Now that she thought about it she was getting kinda hungry too. "Yeah" said Willow "We haven't eaten all day. Let's see what we can find!"
