Welcome my miniscule amount of readers to A Father's Love. It will mainly center around the kits, so not a lot of Flarestrike & Cloverspirit POVs for it, even if I adore writing them. If you haven't already figured it out, the main characters are Applepaw and Blazepaw, more Blazepaw though. Snowpaw will also play a main role, Fatherpaw is just... there. Aha, sorry. Enjoy!
Three cats were arguing in the Starclan hunting grounds, their tails and bodies bristled.
"You've done it before! Why not with me?"
Blazepaw was snarling at Shadownight, his golden eyes flashing with malice.
"Because, you have to stay up in Starclan to help us figure out your sister's punishment!"
Blazepaw lashed his tail, unsheathing his claws.
"You will not kill my sister or her kits as a punishment! Can't you see her punishment already unfolding?"
Instead of striking the former medicine cat he sank his claws into the earth and shook his head, sitting down and glancing down towards the earth as if he could see Cloverspirit down there, preparing to induce herself.
"She won't be able to do it. She won't be able to give up her kits. But I'll tell you this, I won't let you kill her, and I won't let you leave her broken from the death of those kittens."
Shadownight too looked downwards, a pool of water rippling where he had looked. In it, Cloverspirit thoughts could be seen, a blur of telling the clan her treachery and her ponderings if Flarestrike could claim them. Shadownight shivered as her intense love for the kits rolled over him.
"Send me down as one! I have to protect my sister!"
Blazepaw looked down at her frantically, his tail lashing. "Do it!"
Shadownight looked down at his paws, his toes were twitching.
"This darkness... it will engulf Amberclan. All because of her. She was such a lively apprentice..."
His black face contorted in pain, before he nodded, "Okay, I'll do it."
Blazepaw sighed, "Thank you. I know I won't be able to remember you, but please, send me down safely."
And with that he bounded down towards his sister as she prepared to give birth to her last kit, her own brother.
I did have a different prologue, but I wanted another one started in Starclan just like AMD. Plus, I really like the Blazepaws. This Blazepaw's personality will be different than the one down there. The dead one is a hot-headed, grumpy, and a lot like Jaypaw. The re-born one takes everything in stride with a cool-air, but sometimes acts a lot like his former self. R&R!
