Foreverclan

Stormstar sat, under the shade of the Tall Tree. His gaze floated around camp until it finally rested on his mate, Snowwhisker, who was grooming her white fur. She looked up and her blue gaze locked with his, but only for a moment. From the rumors flying endlessly around camp, Snowwhisker had been getting closer to Oakbranch. Lionscratch padded up to him, sympathy lighting his amber eyes. "I'm sorry Stormstar, but I think Snowwhisker has chosen Oakbranch over you" he said softly, sitting down beside his leader. Stormstar shook his gray head. "I know." he sighed, looking up at Snowwhisker again. Now Oakbranch had joined her, and was sitting with her, nuzzling her belly. "And she's expecting kits. My kits" he added, looking away from his former mate. Blueblaze, the medicine cat, had joined the two toms. "I told her not to leave you for him, but she wouldn't listen. She said that her kits would never know that you were their father." the blue-gray cat said, glaring harshly at Snowwhisker.

Oakbranch purred, nuzzling his new mate's swollen belly. Yes. My plan is unfolding nicely he thought. Soon, her kits will be born. Then I will… his thoughts were interrupted by a screech of agony, from beside him. Snowwhisker had fallen to the ground, her eyes wide. Blueblaze, Stormstar and Lionscratch had rushed over, and were now carrying her to the nursery.

Forgottenclan

Mossfire lay in the sheltered Forgottenclan medicine cat den nursing her two of her new kits. Tallkit and Leafkit. Her mate, Tigerfang, was asleep beside her with her other three kits, Sandkit, Dustkit, and Rosekit, nestled up with him. The queen smiled, before gently picking up Tallkit, and placing him with the other kits. She did the same with Leafkit, who let out a small squeak when she was picked up, and then fell silent. The tired queen curled up in her nest and fell asleep.

Bumblepaw watched Ashpaw and Snowpaw practice their battle moves sadly. The pale gray tom had breathing problems, where every once and a while he'd get tired unexpectedly and collapse, panting. Because of this his mother, Raintail, had forced him to train as a medicine cat instead of a warrior, like he had wanted. His mother had also kept him away from Ivystar, so he could not tell her what she had done. Though Ivystar had heard plenty about him from his mentor, Swiftgaze, whom he gave a very hard time. Ashpaw and Snowpaw weren't his siblings, they were Maplefern's kits, but as they were only a few sunrises apart, they had been apprentice on the same day. The two were tussling on the ground, kicking up clouds of dirt and dust. "Bumblepaw! Get back to work!" snapped his obnoxious mother as she cantered by. "Why don't you get back to work! All you do every day is eat and sleep!" he hissed back. The attention of his clanmates was now focused on him and his mother. Raintail turned around slowly, and with a screech, jumped on him, pinned him to the ground, and bit his neck.
