The Heart

by UltimateFandomBB

What would you do, if you knew you could do more for the people who raised you, and cared for you? Well, that's exactly what Skykit's thinking. Skykit will do anything to help her clan, but when she gets the chance to help more than any other cat could, she jumps at it.

4. Chapter 4

Skykit looked around the medicine cat den. You don't really notice the details of a place until it's your home, even for just awhile. She looked up at the log that served as a roof of the place. She noticed it actually stopped about three feet short of the entire den. The rest was covered in vines. At first, she thought maybe they just got the wrong size log but, then she realized they did this on purpose.

The log gives the patients privacy in the dark and it's easier to rest. The vines let in a good amount of light, giving the medicine cat enough light to find herbs and worked with them. Skykit looked outside and every once in a while saw Airkit look inside the den, as if making sure she hasn't moved.

Suddenly, there was a loud commotion outside. "Eveningdew is having her second kit!" Skykits ears perked up. Eveningdew was Rockkit's mother and she was supposed to have two kits but after Rockkit came, the other one was pushed back. The kit's been delayed for almost three moons. Skykit ran out of the medicine cat den to the queen's den. Of course, kits weren't allowed in but you could still see from the outside, but only a little. Skykit waited outside when everyone got super quiet.

At first she was scared the kit had died, but then she heard Eveningdew start to purr. She knew she wouldn't purr if she was in pain or the kit died, so she knew it was over. She stepped up a little to be able to see the kit. At first, The kit kept trying to be close to it's mommy but, soon it started trying to stand. Everyone held their breath even though we knew it wouldn't be able to stand but, we all admired it's persistence, The kit tried this four or five times but, instead of it looking like standing, it kind of looked like hopping.

Eveningdew laughed. "You're like a little bunny!" She pulled her kit close and started grooming it. "That'll be your name, Bunnykit." Morningglory, the medicine cat, smiled. "Fernclan. Say hello to a new member of the clan, Bunnykit." While everyone was cheering, Skykit could've sworn she heard the kit purr at its new name.
