Back in ThunderClan
"Um… your father is still to injured to have you three visit him. But I have told him all about you, and SwiftKit your father was the one who picked your name. Your named after the legendary deputy SwiftClaw, SwiftClaw was your fathers father."
SwiftKit looked up to her mother, but before she could reply a loud yowl burst from the nursery.
"It's a she-kit!"
"Come my kits, lets meet the new kit."
GingerFur padded into the nursery followed closely by her kits. At GrayWisps belly lay a single she-kit her pelt darker than the no-moon sky. Her tiny mouth opened to reveal a tiny pink tongue. GingerFur whispered softly to the new mother.
"What is her name?"
The three kits behind GingerFur suddenly noticed something red surrounding the queen and her kit. GrayWisp took a ragged breath and whispered in a husky voice.
"GingerFur, my time grows short… Her name is RavenKit. If_ if I die please raise her_ tell her about me when she becomes a warrior_ I will tell CornTail you said hi. Gringe_"
The gray queen started breathing rapidly, as if fighting for breath. The medicine cat rushed back towards the queens side. Wispering in a grave voice.
"She has lost too much blood, there is nothing I can do, I'm sorry GingerFur"
"NO! SISTER YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME! FIRST CORNTAIL AND NOW YOU? PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!"
The queens breaths became very shallow, as she whispered.
"Oh beloved GingerFur… I lov_ love Yo_ you. Good_ Goodbye…"
Then the queen exhaled her eyes became glassy and she didn't inhale. GrayWisp was dead.
Meanwhile in RiverClan
"I can't believe you told the clan we are mates! Now I have to have kits with you, AND I don't even love you!"
Fishtail whispered to Silverflood. The silver SheCat replied icily.
"Well you better get over it cause you got one moon left here… if we don't have kits."
All the sudden a yowl split the air.
"WINDCLAN ATTACK!"
A wave of thin bodies rushed towards the two warriors, Fishtail and Silverflood got into a fighting crouch as their leader called out.
"RIVERCLAN TO ME!"
The WindClan attackers burst into the den, Silverflood rushed to the nursery ready to fight. A light brown tom rushed towards her trying to force his way into the nursery but Silverflood was ready, she leapt towards him slashing her claws down his shoulder. The tom slithered under pushing up as Silverflood was launched into the air the tom leapt upwards, claws ready Silverflood latched her claws into his shoulders they landed on the ground, the WindClan tom struggling under her grip, but Silverflood just sank her claws deeper in his shoulder. The warrior managed to shove of Silverflood before running off into the haze of battle.
Meanwhile near the moonstone
"FATHER! Get away from mom!"
The large tom turned on his daughter amber eyes gleaming in the dark. Insanity shrunk away from her father… Savagetooth. A former warrior of one of the four clans. He growled.
"Ah little Insanity. What can you do to stop me? You can't kill me that's for sure. You are just a helpless little kit, and when I'm done with your mother YOU'RE next!"
Mother's safety was short lived, her shrieks of pain beginning again.
"AH! Savagetooth please stop!"
The claws of Savagetooth gleamed in the night, Insanity caught a glance of her mother, the stone of light letting her see her mother. Covered in wounds drenched in her own blood, some of the flesh on her right shoulder was hanging not completely ripped off. Her mothers pleas for mercy fell upon deaf ears, the huge tom ripped her throat to shreds.
"NO! MOTHER!"
Insanity was screaming at her mother and father. As Savagetooth turned on her the small she-cat sprinted away.
Back in ThunderClan
"Kits aunty GrayWisp isn't with us anymore… StarClan has called her to join them."
A wave of grief crashed into the queen. SwiftKit spoke up after a minute.
"Mother? What does that mean?"
GingerFur was unable to take the pain anymore…
"SHE IS DEAD, DEAD AND NEVER COMING BACK! CORNTAIL TOO, THEY BOTH LEFT ME!"
The kits looked to their mother as they were told that their father was not even alive.
"Oh my StarClan what have I done? My kits I didn't mean to tell you that…"
SwiftKit wasn't mad like her brothers… No she needed to tell her mother how she felt.
"I'm not sad mother… but let me speak. YOU OF ALL CATS KEPT OUR FATHERS DEATH FROM US, YOUR KITS? I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FORGIVE YOU!"
The small she-kit collapsed trembling, SwiftKit dragged herself to RavenKit. She looked up and spoke.
"RavenKit is not to know of her mothers death. From now on the story is that she was kidnapped by an insane rouge. Am I clear?"
The kit stood to her full height, and padded away to visit the apprentices.
