Across the Borders, Epilogue

by: rainfeather's hope

(apple. pov. - about two weeks later)

I screech loudly, feeling as though my insides are being knotted and run over by some Thunderpath monster. This is the most physical pain I've ever known.

Everything's a blur to me from then on. Littlecloud says I had a relatively easy birth and that I should consider myself lucky.

There's no doubt in my mind that the kits are actually Birchfeather's. I have Duskkit, a tiny female with my green eyes and Marshtail's gray pelt. I suppose it runs in our lineage. There's Redkit, a male tortoiseshell whose fur is red-tipped. And then there' a tabby tom, with light brown fur, just a shade lighter than Oakfur's.

And my little kit's eyes are amber, not that hateful hazel.

His name is Maplekit. For our meeting place.

Birchfeather and I may have had to give each other up, but there's still a connection. I believe our love will always stretch across the borders.


(takes huge breath) Oh StarClan I hope you like this. I redid it twice. Please review, I really want to know what you think.

Completed Saturday, March 29, 2008; the first multi-chapter story I've ever written.
