A/N: So, the last chapter of this story... WHEH! It's been a great pleasure!
Swirlspot: Ya... the reason they didn't check, however, is because Scourge had taken Storm far away. Falcon was the only one who went after her. Dawnfeather would have gone, but she needed to take care of her other two kits. No, I actually didn't like him like SOME PEOPLE do, but yes, he was a good evil dude. (Didn't remember how to spell villan, villian, however, to lazy to look it up :P XD) I actually don't have a favorite Warriors charactar, mostly because there's too many good ones! (Firestar is pretty high up there, tho!)
Dawnfeather winced as Birdpaw dabbed a sticky, greenish paste onto her wounds. The herbs stung slightly as they soaked in, and the white and black she-cat glanced up at her daughter, Storm, who had been telling the story of what had happened to her. Storm had fallen silent, and was staring off into the air.
"Storm?" Dawnfeather prompted quietly, and Birdpaw peered around Dawnfeather's shoulder at her sister, blue eyes shining expectantly.
"Oh, yeah, sorry. So, after Cloud and her mate joined our 'Clan', her mate, Blue, just... disappeared. Cloud was, of course, heartbroken, and it was totally expected, but the thing was, why would Blue have left? He was perfectly happy, he just up and left."
Icestrike, who had been resting beside Storm, raised his head. He opened his mouth to speak, and as he did, Dawnfeather noticed once again the very faint, blue-white outline of a cat hovering near her son's head.
She couldn't help but bristle, and she realised she had tuned out Icestrike's words, and her kits were looking at her expectantly. "Well? Do you think that's why Blue left?" Birdpaw asked, eyes narrowed in concern.
"Sorry, wasn't listening. Icestrike, what's with the cats?"
Icestrike looked startled, and his eyes grew more cloudy. The instant they did, the cat's outline disappeared. "Um... I was going to tell you, I swear by StarClan, but I never had the time." His eyes brightened again, but Dawnfeather couldn't see any outlines this time.
"When I was... dying, I appeared in this place, like StarClan. But it wasn't. These cats started appearing around me, and they introduced themselves as the Star Dwellers, and the place they were in was the Place of No Stars. Apparently, they took power from the Moonstone and used that to keep on living. But when StarClan came, they drove the Dwellers out, and the Dwellers are fading. They needed a new power source, and I offered to carry them around until I found one."
Storm gaped. "You almost died?!" Icestrike chuckled nervously, tail-tip twitching. "Monster accident. Long story. Tell you later?"
"So, what you're saying is this. You're carrying around a bunch of dead cats in you?!" Birdpaw's eyes were huge, and she had forgotten to continue with the paste.
Dawnfeather shook her head. "Well, that explains how you're able to get around so well." She nudged Birdpaw, and the small black she-cat jumped, and began to hurriedly spread the paste over a large wound across Dawnfeather's side.
"You all are as noisy as a bunch of kits!" Mudpelt suddenly exclaimed from another nest. The four cats looked at each other guiltly. They had forgotten to keep their voices down. Dawnfeather leaned over and licked the fur that had gotten plastered the wrong way on the side of his face when he had slept. Smoothing it down right, she smiled. "You're fine. Just go back to sleep, we'll try to be quieter."
Mudpelt huffed with fake anger. "Might as well stay awake and listen to the rest of your marvelous story."
Storm chuckled. "It's not that marvelous."
"But you surviving is." Dawnfeather said firmly, taking in the large scars over her daughter's body.
"Finished!" Birdpaw leaned back, inspecting her handywork. Leaves covered the paste to keep it from smearing off, but it wasn't messy, and she had gotten every wound. "You're as good as Cinderpelt!"
Birdpaw beamed, and her mentor walked through the entrance in time to hear Dawnfeather's words. "Just about." The gray cat said with a wink, using her tail to pat the leaves down a little firmer.
Icestrike chuckled, blue eyes gleaming merrily. "Well, we're all grown up now, Mom. What're going to do now, start another batch of kits?"
Birdpaw and Storm chuckled, but Cinderpelt grinned a knowing grin. "Yes. That's what your mother is going to do."
Storm and Birdpaw choked on their laughs, and Icestrike's eyes bulged. "WHAT?!" They yelled as one. This time it was Mudpelt, Dawnfeather, and Cinderpelt's turn to laugh. "I told your mother this morning, in fact, but she went ahead in the battle anyway."
"You could have lost your kits!" Birdpaw said with horror, crouching and pressing her ear against Dawnfeather's flank. "They're not developed enough to be hurt too easy, but I warned Dawnfeather to take it easy. She tried." Cinderpelt looked at Dawnfeather meaningfully, and Dawnfeather flattened her ears in a embarassed way.
"I tried to keep a eye on her!" Mudpelt yowled, when he caught Storm glaring at him. "She's nearly impossible to contain, though!"
"So, do you have any names?" Birdpaw said eagerly. "I know lots and lots of good names!"
"Relax, Birdpaw, I don't know if they're male or female yet." Dawnfeather nuzzled her youngest on the head.
"Speaking of Birdpaw..." Cinderpelt said. "I think it's time we change that. You've proved yourself as a good medecine cat, so, I think it's time we get you a new name!"
"Careful!" Icestrike said with a chuckle. "She looks like she's going to explode."
"Strange words coming from a blind cat." Cinderpelt said. Storm interrupted Icestrike's next words. "Cover your ears!"
They followed her advice, just as Birdpaw let out a ear-piercing yowl. "I'M GETTING MY FULL MEDECINE CAT NAME!''
"Not if you act like a kit!" Cinderpelt yowled back, paws over her ears.
Birdpaw immediatly clamped her mouth shut, ears folded back in apology. "Sorry!"
Timeskip: Two months later-~*O*~-~*O*~-
Dawnfeather lay in the warm sun, basking in its warm rays as she watched the apprentices tumble about in the sandpit, mentors watching them with approving eyes.
Her rounded belly, though not at it's full size with growing kits, was still rather large, hinting to more than one kit. Mudpelt lay close by, not having any jobs at the moment, and was watching the apprentices as well.
Together, they watched Birdpaw, now Birdstone, trot by, herbs dangling from her mouth. She flicked her tail in hello at them as she passed, and they returned the flick.
"Remeber when you first got here?" Mudpelt asked, traces of amusement in his voice. "She was a tiny, tiny little, starving kit, with the biggest blue eyes I had ever seen. Of course, then, I didn't really notice that, I was too busy looking at you."
Dawnfeather snorted. "Please. I wasn't much better. None of us were."
"But now you are, and I thank StarClan for it." Dawnfeather nuzzled him, and he returned it. "Aw, get a den!" Skysong's new kit, Blackkit, squeaked in disgust, watching with wide yellow eyes.
Mudpelt chuckled. "Why? It's so much better nuzzling out here, where everycat can see it!"
Dawnfeather caught on. "Ah! Yes, in fact, you can stay here and watch!" She nuzzled Mudpelt again, keeping her light blue eyes on Blackkit. He stuck his tongue out in disgust and ran back to his sister and mother. "Mommy!" They could hear his sharp wail, and Mudpelt laughed again. "Kits!"
"I'll make sure ours have better manners." Dawnfeather said, wrapping her tail around Mudpelt's.
"I'll help as well." Her mate said, voice drowsy as the sun lulled him into a slumber. "Hmmm." Was her only reply as she joined him for a nap.

The problem with your own cats in the mix of real-book cats, you have to be REALLY careful about who's mates with who, and who you make related to who. SPIDERLEG WAS MATES WITH HIS OWN MOTHER! But my sister saw the mistake and I fixed it in time. (THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A COLOSSEL MISTAKE!) :O
See you all in the future!
May StarClan light your path! ~AquaJinx
