Hey guys back with the last chapter!
PfP (guest)- glad you like the names thank you for reviewing!
Overlordmiles- I was thinking on a sequel but I'm not sure what it would be about…
Without any further ado onto the final chap!
Lunastar's POV!
It had been almost 2 moons since Mousestar's death and Pineclaw seemed to have gotten over it, in excitement for the kits that were coming soon. I slept in the nursery now, my belly becoming swollen by the day.
Tonight the kits were especially kicking. Could tonight be the night, I mean it has been almost 2 moons. I thought. I became worried. The main reason being that I was the only queen in the nursery, so no one would rush to get help, I would need to do that myself.
That whole night I wondered what our kits would look like when they arrived. Would they have my pelt and Pineclaw's eyes or Pineclaw's pelt and my eyes? I couldn't wait to see when they arrived.
Tonight I couldn't sleep, I was restless! So to pass by the time I thought of possible names, I thought of what I would name them for their warrior ceremony.
It was very dark inside; I looked outside and saw that it was moon high, the dead of night. It also meant that it was the next day. I stood up pondering if any warrior was awake at this time. My round belly swung as I stood. I purred knowing they would be joining us any day now.
I felt a strong kick from somewhere inside my stomach. "Ow! You kit's sure will be strong warriors some day!" I whispered flinching a little. They kicked again "Hey! Ow! Knock it off kits!" I flinched.
They kicked me one last time, two times stronger than the other times."Owww!" I fell on the ground, flank heaving. I think their coming! I thought urgently. But I can't just walk over to Shimmerpool's den! That might damage the kits! I thought, I was helpless but not that helpless I wouldn't risk hurting my kits. So I did what I thought was best.
When they kicked again I yowled to Starclan, half of it not needed. I heard cats starting to stir and I heard paw steps running my way. "Lunastar? Is everything alright?" Pineclaw asked noting the fear in my turquoise eyes. "Get your sister please! The kits are coming!" I meowed urgently. Pineclaw's eyes widened and rushed to find his sister in the medicine cat den
Meanwhile, I was on the ground breathing hard. Even though this was my 3 time giving birth, it was still hard for a she-cat. Not a moment too soon Pineclaw arrived with Shimmerpool and Hollypaw, ready to help. The kits kicked again, their kicks becoming stronger with every kick. "Ah!" I screamed.
Pineclaw rushed over to help me but Shimmerpool held his back and told him to go outside and to no come in till she allowed it too. She turned to Hollypaw "Go get some wet moss, and while you're at it find a sturdy stick." She ordered Hollypaw.
After Hollypaw had left she turned to me. She had 3 herbs wrapped up in a bundle, only one I recognized as poppy seeds. They kicked again. I groaned, Shimmerpool picked out one leaf it had jagged edges and kind of a fluffy texture to it. "This is a raspberry leaf, it will sooth your pain." Shimmerpool meowed as she gave me the herb.
I picked it up and ate it, a little while later I felt the pain easing down, but that didn't mean it didn't hurt. The pain was still alive and I felt my pelt ripple as I felt the first kit coming.
Hollypaw rushed in and gave me the stick; I took it into my mouth. Not a moment later a sack fell out and I bit down on the stick trying to ease the pain. Shimmerpool nipped the sack and out rolled a brown tabby she-cat. Shimmerpool licked its fur backwards and the kit started mewling for milk. Shimmerpool placed the tiny kit next to my belly and it began suckling
I purred but stopped in the middle of it, another screech filled the sky as another spasm went through my body, reminding me that another kit was going to join us. "You're doing great, Lunastar! Push!" Hollypaw encouraged me. I push and out slid another sack
Hollypaw from watching her mentor nipped the sack and out rolled a silver tabby she-cat, a smaller replica of me. Hollypaw licked its fur the wrong way until it meowed. Hollypaw gently placed down her new little sister next to her sister. "Two more kits! You're doing great Lunastar!" Shimmerpool encouraged. 2 more! I hope they don't turn out dead like Sweetsong's litter I thought remembering the pain of when her other 3 kits hadn't moved.
Another ripple of pain shot through my body bringing me to the present. I screeched biting into the stick. I could feel my teeth sinking into the stick but not breaking it completely. A spasm went through my body, I panted as the third sack came falling out.
Shimmerpool nipped it and out slid a pain milky brown tom with white paws. Shimmerpool licked at its fur time it squirmed in her grip. She placed it next to his sisters.
I was sweating now last one, you got this! I thought to myself boosting my spirits. Another shock of pain rippled my body and I broke the stick in half screaming.
The last sack slid out and Hollypaw nipped it and out fell a rather small russet tom. Hollypaw picked him up by the scruff and turned to Shimmerpool. They talked in whispers, I couldn't hear them. What are they doing? Just give me my kit! I thought fiercely.
"What's wrong?!" I asked urgently. Shimmerpool looked at me with grief stricken eyes. "Your last kit, h-he's dead." Shimmerpool meowed eyes trained on the ground. My heart sank. "Give me my kit! He can't be dead!" I ordered.
Hollypaw with sad eyes gave me my kit and indeed he was still and I sensed no heartbeat coming from him. But I didn't give up. Determination shone in my eyes as I did what the medicine cats did with my other kits; I licked his pelt backwards fiercely, no sound coming from the little kit , I didn't give up, I licked and licked the tom's russet pelt and finally after waiting for so long the tom made a little squeak.
Hollypaw gasped and Shimmerpool's eyes shone with wonder. I licked his pelt more till his mewls were stronger and I placed him next to his siblings.
Pineclaw burst in without a warning, his brown tabby pelt ruffled and his green eyes wide. I purred and he calmed down. As he walked in I noticed the familiar pelts of 3 other cats. Sweetsong, Snowpaw, and Nightpaw walked in after Pineclaw.
"Oh Lunastar, their beautiful!" Pineclaw murmured. I smiled in agreement. "I'll leave you happy family alone." Shimmerpool smiled as she slipped out of the den. "What are their names, mama?" Snowpaw asked. I thought for a moment, I couldn't think of any names but I know who would.
"You name the kits." I meowed to my first and second litter. They smiled and Sweetsong stepped forward first. She bent down to touch the brown tabby she cat's tiny head. "How about Cloverkit, for this kit." Sweetsong offered. I nodded my approval.
Hollypaw stepped forward next. "And Rowankit, for this brown tom." The medicine cat apprentice suggested. I smiled.
"I think this pretty she-cat should be named Featherkit!" Snowpaw meowed. I nodded.
"And how about Squirrelkit for this handsome russet kit." Nightpaw offered. I smiled, knowing my kits chose better names than I could have. "Go on now, your mother needs rest." Pineclaw meowed shooing everyone out of the den.
Hollypaw stayed and gave her the rest of the herbs. "This is borage it will help you with making milk for the kits." Hollypaw explained as she nudged the leaf toward her mother. I chewed them up, tasting the bitterness I screwed up my face that made Hollypaw laugh.
"Here are some poppy seeds to help you sleep." Hollypaw giggled as she dropped two seeds in front of my face. I lapped them up feeling sleepy already. Hollypaw left the den, and my eyelids grew heavy with sleep. I lapped up what was left of the water on the moss and drifted off to sleep.
I woke up in a starry area, I knew right away were I was. "Hello? Starclan are you hear?" I called. My words echoed through the clearing. Suddenly the place changed. I was in a dark forest surrounded by tree just like at home.
A voice called through the clearing "The squirrel-" a red squirrel appeared on a branch. "-will jump from tree to tree, you might be frightened at what you find on the inside, but love and kindness can change it." The voice meowed.
I saw as the squirrel's eyes turned red and leapt toward me; it grew and grew till it was bigger than a cat. I screamed as it ran straight toward me, I ran my paws hit the ground faster and faster the 'squirrel' went, faster and faster I went. My body slowed. My flank heaving, I knew I could not run forever.
The monster caught up with me and sank its sharp teeth into my flesh. My scream of pain echoed across the forest. My eyes shot open, I was still alive in my nest with my new kits.
I calmed myself "it was just a dream, just a dream." I whispered shakily. I looked at the newly named Squirrelkit, or was it? I thought.
Dun, Dun, DUNNNNNN
