Reviving Blood
Chapter 18: Circle of Life
A screech of agony made cats jump awake in panic. Bodies darted out into the moonlit clearing, claws unsheathed and fur standing on end. Everyone was ready for a threat to leap at them. Both camp guards, Duststripe and Coalsplash, raced in, afraid that something got passed their watch. Many eyes exchanged a glance. No one seemed to be fighting. Was someone having a bad dream? Falconstar appeared from his den, green eyes watching the camp with concern. Another screech filled. All cats jumped with terror. Ears turned to find the source. Eyes turned to the nursery. Wildfire appeared, her eyes wide with terror.
Her voice cracked with strain and fear, "Tawnysong! Blossomstorm! Jayflight!" The three medicine cats appeared with herbs in their jaws. She yowled at the top of her lungs, "It's Whispersong! She's kitting!"
Blossomstorm let out a mental curse, diving back into the medicine den. They had been expecting a fight. She dropped the leaf full of herbs and raced for the other one. Tawnysong had prepared this several weeks ago when the queen was supposed to kit. Now five weeks late, the dark gray spotted she-cat knew it was going to be a hard birth. Quickly she raced for the nursery. The other two medicine cats were already there. Jayflight appeared as she reached the den. The tom nodded to her before racing out of camp. Blossomstorm knew he was after some water for the kitting queen to drink. Her sharp teeth grit as the pale gray she-cat let out another wail. Pawsteps made the medicine turn around. It was Skycloud, Wolfsnarl, and Windhowl. With a lash of her tail, Blossomstorm ordered them to wait outside.
Amber eyes slowly adjusted to the dark interior. Wildfire was nudging her kits out so the medicine cats had as much room as possible. Tawnysong, her calico fur ruffled and dirty, was leaning over Whispersong. The pale gray she-cat's swollen rose and fell quickly as she struggled to breath. Amber eyes were squeezed tightly shut. Claws ripped into her moss nest and the cool dirt. Her tail was stiff as a board. A tremor ran through her body before she screeched again. Blossomstorm winced. Maybe never having kits had been a good decision. It always seemed to be a painful process. Gently she put down the herbs and licked the she-cat between the ears. The calico medicine cat rested a paw on the swollen belly, feeling what was happening. Rustling alerted them to Jayflight's return. The tom leaned over Whispersong and dripped water into her throat. Weak swallows were all the queen could do.
The first kit started coming with a wave of agony. Blossomstorm gently pressed on Whispersong's stomach, trying to add her strength to the she-cat. Tawnysong whispered soothing words. She had already given Whispersong two poppy seeds to help with the pain. Jayflight continued to give her water and even left at one point to grab a stick for her to scratch. Yowling, the kitting queen pushed but the kit wouldn't come. Only blood appeared. Again, the she-cat pushed with blood as the only result. That's when Tawnysong hissed with fright.
"There's internal bleeding. If we don't get the kits out then they'll drown in their mother's blood," she explained softly to the other medicine cats.
Blossomstorm growled, feeling dread fill her heart, "We'll get them out."
"I'm not so sure, Blossomstorm," the tired calico meowed. "Not without killing Whispersong in the process."
"What's the process?" Jayflight asked, stepping between the she-cats.
"We have to cut into Whispersong's stomach so the blood has a place to go while she kits. However, if she loses enough blood then the exhaustion will kill her," Tawnysong meowed.
Blossomstorm flexed her claws, "Then we have work to do."
Before either medicine cat could stop her, the gray she-cat aimed and cut into Whispersong's pale fur. The she-cat gasped in shock and pain. Dark blood poured from the injury. Tawnysong appeared with the nursery's extra moss to collect the blood. Then another wave hit the kitting queen. She yowled in pain…
But this time the kit came.
Jayflight quickly began licking the tom's fur. Blossomstorm leaned over Whispersong, urging her to keep trying. Tawnysong sat beside the open wound. She was trying to judge when enough blood had been lost. Two more tremors racked the she-cat's body, resulting in two more kits. Now Whispersong was panting hard. Her amber eyes started closing. She was exhausted. She was losing a lot of blood. Blossomstorm grit her teeth, heart pounding. There were two more kits still to come. If Whispersong didn't have the strength, then how would those kits come out? Her amber eyes glanced to Tawnysong in question. The calico sensed the gaze and shrugged weakly. She had seen so many queens become exhausted and give up the fight. Jayflight was too busy licking the newborn kits to be of much help.
Lashing her tail, Blossomstorm leaned over to whisper in the she-cat's ear, "Don't give up, Whispersong. Keep fighting. If you give up now then you're taking your kits with you. Fight like the warrior you are!"
Whispersong's amber gaze look up at her. Then the warrior clenched her mouth shut, dug her claws into the dirt, and pushed. Two waves of agony were all it took for one kit to come. That left one more to go. Blossomstorm pressed into that pale gray, blood-soaked flank and willed the she-cat to keep fighting. Her eyes looked towards the stars, praying that Starclan wouldn't take the mother and her kits. The Clan needed them. The Clan needed the hope their lives would bring. She snarled, remembering that yesterday's sunhigh patrol had brought reports of the Flames arrival. The group was hiding out in the tall, swaying grass. However, their scent along the border strongly declared their threat. The medicine jerked from her thoughts as the kitting queen trembled. A yowl was torn from her pale gray throat. All was silent afterwards…
Until five quiet meows filled the den.
Relief swept through Blossomstorm like a gentle river. Tawnysong quickly set to work patching up the stomach wound. Jayflight gingerly placed each kit at their mother's stomach. Whispersong breathed in and out, simply trying to stay alive. Blossomstorm seized the herb bundle and produced borage leaves for milk, chervil for the stomach pain, and dandelion to replace poppy seeds. Jayflight came to her to help. After all, Whispersong was too exhausted to even swallow. Only by Jayflight using honey and water were they able to get the herbs down. Done, they looked to Tawnysong to see if she needed help. However, the calico was fine, other than rocking on her own paws. Blossomstorm leaned over the kits and sniffed them carefully. All were fine. All were healthy. There was nothing that stated any of the family were going to die.
Yowls of praise and congratulations filled the air. Blossomstorm watched from the entranced to the medicine den as cats swarmed around a proud Windhowl and an exhausted Whispersong. They had just announced their kits' names: Talonkit, Silverkit, Mothkit, Breezekit, and Bluekit. She smiled at the names. They were perfect. However, she did feel kind of sorry for Talonkit. The tom-kit would grow up in a family of she-cats. The only other males were his father Windhowl and his uncle Wolfsnarl. The poor tom was going to live a life filled with drama.
The camp entrance shook as a hunting patrol returned. Prey was thrown over their shoulders and clamped in their jaws. None of them were hurt. That was good. Maybe the Flames were deciding the Clan wasn't worth the fight. Blossomstorm flexed her claws in the dirt. The Flames would have to fight her if they wanted to kill any of her Clanmates. Though she was a medicine cat, protecting her Clan was still part of her job. She wouldn't fail until her last breath.
But some things are out of one's control.
The medicine cat was walking through the territory with Falconstar's hunting patrol. Jayflight was padding behind her. In his mouth were the tansy, dandelion, and coltsfoot they had already collected. With the Flames' threat being very real now, Falconstar refused to let any cat out of camp without a patrol. Only Crow and Badger could do so. There age and stiff bones would tell anyone they weren't worth the effort of fighting. Star and Bloodfang left them alone. Hopefully the Flames would do the same.
Somewhere deep inside, Blossomstorm felt dread growing. She had woken up today with that feeling. Two days before had been Whispersong's kitting. All of them were doing great. Tawnysong had finally declared all worry was for not. Only sickness or an attack could send them to Starclan. That was good…so why did she feel dread in her body. Glancing back at her former apprentice, she wondered if he knew anything. After all, Starclan sent him the prophecy of war and blood. Or maybe they had spoken to Tawnysong while she was at the star-pool. The dark-gray spotted she-cat didn't know the answer. All she knew was something bad was going to happen today.
A yowl of pain made the patrol. Instantly Falconstar leaped forward. His patrol followed right behind. Blossomstorm chased after them. Pawsteps behind her told her that Jayflight was following with the herbs. Maybe they could get there in time to save whoever was being attacked. Hopefully the dread in her heart would not come true. Breaking through the bushes at the second Forestclan border, Blossomstorm slid to a halt, tail going out to stop Jayflight. Amber eyes stretched wide with horror. Falconstar was bristling, face-to-face with a deep scarlet-orange tom. The Forestclan patrol spread out to face the other cats standing at the border. Underneath the scarlet-orange cat's front right paw was a black, white, and gray body the medicine cat instantly recognized. Badger's sides rose and fell weakly. His green eyes were dull and weak. Blood flowed over the ground from his injuries. Blossomstorm felt a snarl pull at her lips. His blood was on the fur of the Flame cats. They had attacked an elder! They had surrounded and brought down a cat they should respect!
A cold voice seemed to freeze the air, "Greetings, Forestclan. Are you prepared to bow to your betters?"
Falconstar stepped forward threateningly, "Release him! He is an elder, not a warrior!"
Ice blue eyes narrowed, "Like I care. All who stand against the Flames will die. He," his tail flicked to Badger, "is just the example. Fight us and soon all of you will be here."
Blossomstorm felt her heart go cold with anger. Both ears went flat against her head. Claws dug into the warm earth. This tom was threatening her Clanmates, the ones who welcomed her with warmth and joy, despite her flaws. She wasn't going to surrender to them. She wouldn't let them kill anyone if she had the choice. Her hind paws launched her body forward. Amber eyes grew cold. She felt no emotion for the cats of the Flames. She wasn't their medicine cat. Not one had any pull at her heart. They might as well have been her former friend and former mate for all she cared. A cat yowled as he saw her incoming. Her body raced past her Clanmates. The deep scarlet-orange tom looked at her with a bored expression. Claws arched for his exposed throat.
That's when a brown body leaped in the way. Blue eyes widened as she scratched her cheek. Burn marks covered her pelt. The medicine cat bit into her spine and hauled her off her feet. Claws lashed out but Blossomstorm easily dodged. Fast as a striking snake, the Forestclan medicine cat attacked. Jaws seized ahold of the she-cat's white throat. Front paws pinned her down by resting on her white chest and stomach. Blood poured onto the grass. Slowly Blossomstorm stood to her full height. Scarlet blood dripped to the grass from her jaws. Amber eyes glared into the leader's ice blue. He could see her determination and anger. The brown and white she-cat, a loyal Flame, laid dead at her gray paws. Forestclan was frozen with shock behind her.
Blossomstorm snarled angrily, "Release him or you're next."
The tom tilted his head at her then stepped back from Badger. Calmly he turned and padded into the tall grass. He didn't even seem to care that Blossomstorm had killed one of his cats. Yet the medicine cat was adept at reading body language. His stiff walk told her he did care – cared more than he let on. Pushing him from her thoughts, Blossomstorm crouched beside Badger. His breathing was ragged and fast paced. Softly she hushed him, licking his wounds clean. The tom's green eyes looked up at Falconstar. His white jaw fell open as he tried to speak. Claws unsheathed as he reached for his Clanmates. Instantly Mintleaf gave him her paw. Trembling shook his body. Blossomstorm felt her heart stop in her chest. She had seen this before. She had seen this happen to a cat in her old family. The healer had said it had to do with the heart. Sometimes, after a stressful situation, a weak heart would just give out. Tears poured from her amber eyes…
There was no cure.
Badger was laid respectfully in the center of Forestclan's camp. Cries of anguish filled the camp. Cats raced forward. None could believe what they were seeing. They separated as Crow hobbled over. The tom's amber eyes were wide with shock. His mouth hung open. Tears fell down his cheeks as he stared at his denmate and friend. Falconstar crouched beside the fallen elder. Tawnysong was sitting near the medicine den. Her green eyes glanced towards Blossomstorm. Blood still caked the dark gray-spotted medicine cat's mouth and paws. Amber eyes were staring at Badger without comprehension. He was dead. All his wisdom was gone. Why? Why did the Flames have to kill him first? It made no sense. It wasn't like he posed a threat to them. Slowly a snarl pulled at her lips. Badger's death was a message. The leader didn't care who he was, what he had done, or how his death would affect anyone. All Badger had been was a way to send a bloody message. In the end, Badger's old heart had been unable to take the strain.
Her amber eyes turned towards the Flame camp. Bloodied claws raked into the ground. Her tail lashed violently behind her. Softly, darkly, she muttered, "I'll kill you for this trespass."
Unknown to her, an off-white tom with black stripes on his face and back was muttering was the same thing.
