Cats Outside Of Clans
Sunwave
It had been a few moons since anything had really happened. Ice, Isis, and White, who was the one cat in the woods had joined the clan and changed their names to Snowstorm, Icepaw, and Whitepaw.(yes Ice changed to Snowstorm and Isis changed to Dawnpaw)
Firepaw had recovered and Fallenleaf and Blackout were expecting kits soon. Rainpaw had warned about his dream but the wolves had not attacked camp yet...
Rainpaw's ears perked up and he sat up in his nest. It was almost dawn and he saw Fallenleaf pad past the apprentice den. The she-cat let out a moan. "No..." he heard her say as she flinched. She staggered over to the nursery and crawled to her nest, but didn't fall asleep.
Rainpaw realized the she-cat was going to have Eagleheart's kits. He jumped up and told Firepaw. Soon, there was two kits laying beside Fallenleaf. Eagleheart purred and asked her what they should be called.
"The black one will be called Shadowkit and the other one Snakekit." Fallenleaf muttered. She then fell asleep being worn out.
Rainpaw turned around to see Whitepaw and Tigerkit playing around. Moonblaze padded out of the camp a look of determination on his face. Rainpaw hoped he wasn't after the wolves again. A sharp yowl rang out of the camp. Blackout was kitting, too.
Firepaw dashed up to her mother and spun around to Rainpaw. "Get Moonblaze!" she yelled.
Rainpaw obeyed seeeing the urgency in Firepaw's eyes he ran as fast as he ever ran straight into the forest following Moonblaze's scent. "Moonblaze!" he screeched as he came in sight. "Hurry! Come back to camp! Blackout is kitting!"
When they reached her there was two kits at her side and still three to come.(yes she's having five kits.) Her eyes where glazed with pain and she mouthedthe word "no".
After what seemed like moons, all five of her kits lay at the curve of her belly. The oldest was a golden colored tom, the second was a calico she-cat, the third a pure white tom, the fourth was brown with white paws, ears, tail and chest, it was a she-cat, the last was a tiny blue-silver cat with a fluffy tail, that hung like a blossom of a blue bell.
"They're beatiful kits." commented Tearstar.
Rainpaw saw Tigerkit and Firepaw studying them intently. He wasn't so sure what that was about.
"What will their names be?" Moonblaze asked
"The golden tom is Blazekit." Blackout said. "The calico she-cat will be Leafkit, the white tom Icekit, the brown and white she-cat foxkit, and the small blue she-cat Bellkit."
"Those are great names." commented Tearstar.
Tigerkit looked excited that there were plenty of kits in the clan.
Blackout fell asleep for good reason after kitting.
"They'll make good warriors." commented Rainpaw to Firepaw.
Firepaw blinked. "Yea sure. I have a feeling they are going to be very important..." she trailed off.
Rainpaw just looked at the kits. Firepaw was right. They felt...special. He didn't know how to describe it he just felt it. Or at least, the ones besides Bellkit. She felt pretty ordinary as anyone else.
"Okay." interrupted Lionblaze. "I get the cats of prophecy and all...but where are the other clans in this process?"
Rainhead looked at him. "To be honest, I'm not sure. We didn't really have a lot to do with each other starting out. We didn't really patrol the borders because we all stayed in our own territory."
"Did you even have gatherings?" Dovepaw asked.
"Not unless they started after I left." said Rainhead. "So we rarely saw cats from the other clans if at all."
Rainpaw padded back to the apprentice's den. Maybe We'll have a training assessment tommorow, He thought. As he drifted off to sleep, he had the dream again. This time, the fog was clearer and before, what he thought was Firepaw, on a closer look, turned out to be Blazekit...although he looked like an apprentice or new warrior from here. Actually, he saw Leafkit, Icekit and Foxkit there too! "The cats of the prophecy!" he realized. "But then why me? Why did someone say I had been chosen?" Then the same cat walked up to him again. "Help us!" he heard the familiar words. "But what about Bellkit?" he whispered. Then he floated into blackness again.
Rainpaw awoke with a start. He just realized what the prophecy meant. As he tried to settle down, he couldn't help but wondering why wasn't bellkit in it? he drifted off to sleep and had no dreams this time.
A few moons later...
Leafkit poked Tigerkit. "Come on!" she mewed. "Wake up" she grinned mischeiviously when he opened one eye. "Ahah!" she mewled and jumped on his back. Tigerkit rolled around but not hard enough to shake her off. He knew he might hurt her.
"I give!" he said.
Leafkit's eyes gleamed in satisfaction. "I win!" she squealed. "I'm going to be the best warrior ever! I'm going to be clan leader!"
"I'm sure you will" Tigerkit meowed sarcasticly joking.
"Hey!" she mewed. She tried to jump on him again, but missed.
Tigerkit got up. "I'm getting something to eat"
Leafkit nodded and crept up behind Blazekit as Tigerkit walked out. He padded up to the fresh-kill pile hungry. He padded back with a mouse and tripped over the tangle of kits playing, his mouse flying.
"I got you!" he heard Leafkit say triumphantly.
Rainpaw woke and got up drowzily. He walked up to Moonblaze and prodded him with one paw. "Can me and Firepaw have battle training with you?" he asked.
"Sure" Moonblaze replied. "But first I'm going to see my kits." he slid into the nursery.
Leafkit had snuck out through the netrance while everyone else was waking up. She walked up to Rainpaw. "I wanna go with you too!" she squealed, whiskers raising.
"No, not now, Leafkit." he said. "You'll have to wait until you're an apprentice."
"But that's not fair! It'll be ages!" she said tail drooping.
Firepaw appeared by Rainpaw's side. "Don't worry I'll show you some fighting moves when we get back," she said softly.
Leafkit's eyes gleamed "Really! That's great!" she exclaimed. She raced back to the nursery. "Hey guys! Guess what! Firepaw's going to teach me how to fight!" Rainpaw heard her exclaim.
Rainpaw purred in amusement. "You handled that well." he said to Firepaw. "So, do you want to go out and hunt later?" he asked.
Firepaw nodded, "Sure why not?"
Rainpaw was about to respond when out of the blue Icekit tackled him and Rainpaw fell back, surprised. He faked trying to get up and stumbled. "Ok you win." he said out of mock defeat. "Now you can go back to the nursery."
"Sorry!" Icekit squealed and ran back to the nursery.
Firepaw glanced at the fresh kill pile. "I think we need to hunt now and do battle training in a while." she told Rainpaw pointing to the fresh kill pile with her tail.
Rainpaw glanced over with her. "I'm going to, ok?" he asked. "I'll do the battle training when we get back." He padded up to the thorn tunnel and waited for Firepaw.
She padded up to him and as they started to leave the thorn tunnel on a two cat hunting patrol, they ran into Sunwave.
Rainpaw's fur bristled as he crouched. "You haven't had enough!" he snarled.
"Stand down." said Sunwave. "I do not come to hurt you, but I had a feeling I should come here."
Rainpaw's eyes widened. "What?" he asked.
"You heard me."
Firepaw stood, battle ready beside Rainpaw. "I don't beileve you" she hissed.
Moonblaze walked up to them and stopped when he saw Sunwave.
Sunwave ignored the others and walked to Moonblaze. Moonblaze just looked at him and nodded
"I will help" said Moonblaze and walked away with Sunwave.
"What was that?" Rainpaw exclaimed. Rainpaw glanced back at Sunwave, still not sure he trusted him, but padded out of camp with Firepaw for hunting patrol.
After a while, Rainpaw pounced on a mouse. He killed it with a bite to the neck. After he buried it, he trotted back to Firepaw. "Catch anything yet?" he asked
Firepaw turned to him a plump rabbit at her feet. "Yea, this and a Thrush." She paused sniffing the air. "You?"
Rainpaw said, "This mouse and two voles." he turned around and jumped up to chase a squirrel, but it ran off.
"Better chase it!" she teased. "It might threaten the clan later."
"Don't tease me." Rainpaw warned. "You'll be the next one to barely escape me."
She growled and leapt on him, sticking her tongue out, "Feel the wrath of Firepaw!"
Rainpaw pushed her off and jumped on her. "Haha! You need to change your name to Bonfirepaw to beat me!" he laughed.
"Maybe I should!" she laughed and threw him off, and slid gracefully behind the trees hidden from sight. After a few heartbeats she raced out behind him nipping his hind legs then rushing back to the trees.
Rainpaw let out a mrrow of amusement and turned around.
Firepaw tackled him again and pinned him down. She was breathing hard, since she had been laughing as well as running. Her laughter stopped, and her breath slowed as her eyes met his. Mixed emotions filled her eyes and she got off, distracted. "We should get back now."
Icekit jumped up on him out of nowhere and weakly nipped his leg. His leg suddenly turned numb and he hissed until he noticed it was only Icekit. "What are you doing out here!" he asked the kit. "It doesn't matter," he said. He turned back to Firepaw. "Yeah. Let's go."
Icekit hissed. "Come on! I can take a fight!"
"We're not fighting Icekit, we're just messing around," Firepaw responded in a wary voice. "Why are you out here anyways?" she asked suspiciously.
"Oh..." He said. "I wanted to come on the hunting patrol with you!"
"Well, you'll have to wait until you're an apprentice." said Rainpaw, who as paddding back to camp with Firepaw, his fresh kill haning from his mouth.
Firepaw nodded and followed Rainpaw, her pelt touching his.
When they were back at camp, Rainpaw sent Icekit to the nursery, and he noticed that Moonblaze and Sunwave were in the camp with yet another cat.
"No who's here?" Firepaw asked him.
"I'm not sure." Rainpaw replied.
Okay let's stop there. Guess what? We are one third of the way done I think! yeah it's a long story...that's why I update so much.
