From here
His gleaming white fang, covered in Littleheart's blood rolled away. Exhausted and too tired to think, Runningpaw could only yowl, "Littleheart!" Finally, the tom's eyesight went into black. He could pick up the sounds of other cats around him, feel the cool night air ruffle his fur, and even the crickets that were chirping in the distance. Imagining his white pelt stained with blood, he tried to move, but found that every single muscle screamed at even a slight twitch. The tom never felt so heavy in his life, or helpless for that matter. Paws and the fur of his Clanmates brushed against him, but Runningpaw didn't try to think who it was. He allowed them to press against him without fighting.

Littleheart breathing came in gulps, she couldn't hear the the shirk of her clan mates. Her fore paw was torn off and was fully covered in blood, she hoped that her kits would come to her.
"Runn...ningpaw please get my kits, I have to see them." She breathed no knowing what cat was what. She hoped that Cherryheart was there helping her get through it. One of her eyes were gone, and her belly had a huge cut going down it.

Cherryfall bounded forward, head held high. In front of her, only a few fox-lengths away, was Winter. His white pelt gleamed in the moonlight that shone through the canopy of trees. She ran until she was right beside him, twining her tail with his.
"I've missed you," she murmured, nuzzling him. "Where have you been?"
"Away," the white tom replied, but his voice sounded distant, like something was troubling him.
The she-cat cocked her head to the side, pulling away. She looked at him again, narrowing her eyes.
"Winter, what's wrong?" she asked, voice steady though her heart felt like it was racing. She noticed her own fear-scent, mingled with another scent, something too vague to be sure of.
Suddenly a blur of orange darted at the tom, ripping into him. Three scents filled the air: fox, fear, and blood.
"Winter!" Cherryfall yowled, frozen. Her eyes were wide, but she couldn't move them away from the torn body of her mate. Even as the fox made it's way towards her. Even as she felt its teeth ripping at her. Even as she felt her life's blood spilling onto the ground...
Cherryfall's head jerked upwards, her loud gasps of breath filling the silence of the nursery. So it was only a dream... more of a nightmare, really. But the blood scent had been so strong, so real...
"Littleheart!" someone yowled, and the queen lurched to a standing position, forgetting the kits that we curled up beside her.
"I'm so sorry," she mewed, licking their heads in turn and nosing them together so they would no longer be in such an uncomfortable position. "Now go back to sleep."
She turned her head and sniffed the air curiously. Runningpaw... what was he doing waking every cat in camp? But the next scent she noticed made her freeze, locking her so that she looked exactly as she had in the dream; the scent of blood filled the air.
"Runningpaw, what's wrong?" she asked, panicking, as she threw herself out of the confines of the nursery. Again she froze as she noticed Littleheart, lying on the ground. A choke made its way out of her throat. Too much blood had haunted her in her dreams, and she couldn't handle more of it in such a magnitude. Seeing the queen barely alive, missing both a paw and an eye... it was too much. She fell into a loose sitting position, slightly bowed into herself. "Runningpaw..." she managed, but her voice seemed distant. "What happened?

Winter followed her mother out, why did she sound so scared? His fluffy white fur wasn't yet sleek but still fluffy. He didn't know if his brothers and sisters would come but he liked that. He flared his nose at the smell coming from Littleheart, she looked different. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, he ran back into the nursery looking for her kits.
"Moonkit, Rockkit, Grasskit, Mistykit, your mom is out there, it looks like she's hurt!" He yelled.

Moonkit's eyes shot open, "WHAT?!"she lept up and raced out to her mother, "Mother!"She shouted when she got there, fear,sadness, and worry filled her little eyes as tears nearly escaped as she looked at her mother.

Grasskit ran after Moonkit. His mother was in trouble. "Mother!" he yelped with all his might. He was going to be an apprentice any day down and he wanted his mother to be there. He ran over to Littleheart. "Mother..." he whispered.

Littleheart let her breath in the smells of Grasskit and Moonkit, she didn't know if she would live or not.
"My kits, this mite be the last time you hear me talk ever alive. I just want you to know tat I love you with all my heart. And...And..." She whispered to her kits. She took a long look at her kits, those two look just like her mother that left the clan.

Grasskit started to cry. His mother was hurt and the sound of her voice melted him away. "I love you." he smiled, trying to cheer her up. "I'll never forget you." he said and rested his muzzle on her flank. Her warmth calming him.

Littleheart lick Grasskit on his head, she could just see him becoming Grassstar leader a WindClan. Moonkit seemed to be more like a medicine cat, if she became one that would make her proud.
"Grasskit, Moonkit you have a...a...another brother, he is long gone but he mite still be alive, his name was Redkit I think it's now Kquton." She said lying down on the ground waiting for Silverpaw.

"By the twoleg farm." She purred.
Littleheart's eye darted back to Moonkit, she was so beautiful. Grasskit was so brave and was still always happy.
"ShadowClan crossed the border, promise me that they will never do that again. Amberstar while I'm still alive please make my kits apprentices." She said now getting weaker.

His mothers voice was getting weaker. "I promise, and I'll defend our broaders with my life." he promise. He lisened to his mother's heart beat. Slowly it got weaker. He shivered, it was a big promise and he would keep it.

Grasskit nodded and ran up into the moorland. "Cobwebs, Cobwebs." he repeated so he would not forget. He ran and sniffed a Golden plant. "This must be Goldenrod." he bit hard into the plant and tugged. He gathered as many as he could in his jaws and ran back to his mother. Cats were gathered around her. "Is this it?" he asked and set the rods down.

"Mother, Don't say that, You'll live" Moonkit said licking her mother's ear as tears began falling, "We can't live without you, If you die, We'll be brave, for you."She said blinking away more tears. She looked at his brother, "Please hurry someone, Mother has to live" she though sadly lying down beside her mother for what might have been the last time

Littleheart closed she eyes, she listened to the breathing of her kits. She doze off, she could smell the sweet scent of Moonkit.

Grasskit would stay with his mother and sister forever if he could. He closed his eyes, hoping she would live.

Runningpaw managed to awaken, and the first thing he noticed was the taste of blood. Licking around his muzzle, his discovered that it was only his own. However, the queen's blood was visible, crimson bright against his pure white fur. It was painful, but he managed to sit up and groom himself. Once the general shock had blown over to the Clan, the apprentice began to explain what had happened.
"You see... there were two cats and Littleheart chased them off. However, she went past Thunderpath and a monster attacked her. I brought Littleheart back as soon as a could!" The young apprentice coughed a little bit, Runningpaw's own blood dripped to the ground. His right fang was missing, and the tom could only flatten his ears in recognition of the injury, but didn't show any cat the reason he coughed up the blood. |
