Chapter 6
Silentwater padded into camp after going on an unsuccessful quest for poppy seeds and cobwebs. She had been hesitant about going near the FireClan border, for she didn't want to risk meeting up with Blackheart again. She missed him painfully, and her now slightly swollen belly didn't help. Right now, she could pass it over as to much fresh kill, but in the future, she didn't know what she would do.
Palmheart and Tanpaw were together, eating their evening meal. She joined them, deciding that she didn't really need fresh kill.
"Hey you two." she mewed, settling down. Palmheart knew her secret now, but she had to be wary of Tanpaw. Terrible as it seemed, Silentwater felt she couldn't trust a young apprentice with her secret.
"Hey Silentwater." mewed Tanpaw, who was crunching down on a large mouse. Silentwater felt her belly growl in hunger, but ignored it. Perhaps if she didn't eat much, her belly would not be as bulgy.
"I'm surprised FireClan hasn't attacked yet." Palmheart was mewing to Tanpaw. But they will, thought Silentwater, her insides churning. She had decided against telling her friends this, as well. If they went to Blackfeather, she would ask how she knew this.
The white she-cat stood up and flicked her tail in good-bye to her friends. She padded slowly to the medicine cat den, where she curled into a ball and closed her eyes.
Silentwater's eyes flew open. She was still in her den, but she could sense a presence, not of anything she knew of. She sat up, her heart beating faster.
"Who's there?" she mewed fearfully, her hair standing on end.
"Hush Silentwater…" a voice whispered to the back of her neck. "Two deaths are coming soon to you're clan…" and then the voice was gone.
Silentwater settled back down, her heart beating more slowly now. It had been a message from StarClan. Her pelt prickled uneasily at the omnious prophecy of two deaths. She wondered who it would be.
The white she-cat curled her tail over her nose and drifted into an uneasy sleep.
In the morning, Silentwater padded out of her den, stretching her long legs luxiorously. For a moment she was carefree, but then her swollen belly reminded her of everything; Blackheart, kits, FireClan, and the deaths. Silentwater moved instinctively towards the fresh-kill pile, but then stopped. If she didn't eat, maybe she would not swell as much. Medicine cat herbs could hold her off, she suspected.
Palmheart and Skywing came out of the warriors den together, and Palmheart rushed over to Silentwater.
"Guess what?" she mewed, her whiskers twitching excitedly. Silentwater smiled, for she had a feeling of what it was.
"What?" she mewed, because she could tell Palmheart was excited to tell her this herself.
"I'm having kits!" Palmheart squealed, her tail waving too and fro excitedly.
Silentwater wound her tail with her friend's, touching her muzzle to her cheek.
"Congrats!" she mewed. "I expect Skywing is the father, as well?" Palmheart blushed and nodded.
Skywing padded over and wound his ginger tail around his queen. Silentwater purred.
"Our kits-" she stopped herself. She had about to say "Our kits will be born at about the same time," but realized that Skywing was still here. Palmheart gave her a look of understanding.
"Well, congrats." Silentwater mewed again, turning to pad across the clearing. But an urgent yowl caused her to turn around. Tanpaw and the morning patrol had just raced into the clearing. Jadestar emerged from her den with Blackfeather.
"What is it?" Jadestar mewed. Tanpaw spoke breathlessly.
"FireClan is attacking!"
BLAH!!!!!FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!! Cliffhanger, yes I know teehee.
