"I expect Cinderfur's kits coming very soon. Actually I expected them at least today!" A thin gary she-cat mewed brimming with excitement. "Barktail is worried out of his fur waiting for these kits I expect a big litter!"
"You can do this right?" A black and silver she-cat murmered.
"Of course!" The gray cat meowed. "Have faith in your clanmates Mistsar."
"I'm just worried about the battle, Ashcloud." Miststar mewled.
"Our warriors are strong." Ashcloud comforted Miststar. hoping the leader wouldn't sense her own worries. "Just wait and see they'll come back stronger! I even stocked up all my suplies to take care of any injuries!"
"Ok" Miststar padded out of the medicicne den. Was I right to do this? The dream I recieved was kinda wierd. She then shook the thoughts away. She sorted her herbs.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneth High Rock for a clan meeting!" Miststar's vioce rang throughout the clearing. Ashcloud slithered out of her den the patrol for battle was already chosen. Eaglegaze, Barktail, Oakshadow, Flameclaw, Foxpaw, and Boulderpaw. Miststar slithered back to her den as the patrol left.
Rowanpaw was right in front of her now. "HURRY CINDERFUR'S KITS ARE COMING!" Fear struck her, she told him what herbs to get and raced to Cinderfur. Rowanpaw now had some herbs. Working quickly on cinderfur, she paused to see how many kits she was having. Five. She worked quicker and quicker.
"Rowanpaw ya ready!" Ashcloud called. The apprentice shook his head vigurously. "Cinderfur just breath. Your kits are coming." ashcloud soothed. The first kit came, it was a stong tan she-cat with golden and giner dapples. Cinderfur breathed in deeper breaths. or at least tried. Next came a small white she-cat. Soon came two toms and another she-cat. Both toms were dark brown and the third she-cat was white and totieshell.
"What are you naming them?" Rowanpaw purred.
"The tan she-cat is Owlkit, the white she-cat is Moonkit, the tortieshell she-cat is Cherrykit, The dark brown tom is Bearkit, and the dark brown tabby tom is Hawk-kit." Cinderfur mewed. A gasp sounded from Rowanpaw as he looked down in awe.
"Owlkit's eyes are already open!" He whispered. Owlkit was standing, ears pricked, and looking intently outside the den. All of the cat watched as she walked firmly over to the den entrance. Owlkit then sat down and squealed happily.
Next second Barktail rushed in and gasped, "They're here!" he said under his breath. Owlkit rubbed against him. He looked down and his jaw dropped open to see the she-cat's eyes open. "How long ago were they born?"
"Just now." Ashcloud replied proudly. "Wait weren't you on the battle patrol?"
"Ya. We just came back." he mewed unable to take his eyes off his kit.
