M I N T Y P A W The apprentice walked around the clearing in search of her mentor. She was at a loss, nothing to do, no one to talk to. Hopefully she could get her mentor to train her, show her how to fight or hunt properly. Now she was starving, yet could not eat until the clan had been fed first. Mintypaw was yearning now to go out before her paws began to ache and hunting would become a terrible experience. Quietly, she padded over to her mentor and dipped her head in greeting. Her small, shy voice came softly, "Omencurse, can we go train?" It was a simple question, because she could also get away with eating and not hunting first, if her mentor let her fly. Today she hoped to get some training in, so that the other apprentices didn't get too far ahead of her. |

He didn't find any hint fresh trace of the medicine cat in her den, so he decided to go take a nap in a sunny spot off to the side of camp. Thunderthighs found a nice spot off to the side wout of everyones way. It not like anyone would care what he did and long as he stayed out of the way.
OOC: Sorry I know its short, but I'm a little preoccupied right now.

The long haired ebony tom was away from others. Go figure. Some looked at him and labeled him depressed. Emo. Whatever you want to call it. No that wasn't his case. He was just quiet. He wasn't a harsh tom at all, just a quiet tom who kept his thoughts to himself. Of course now he had been assigned an apprentice. Thank you Larkstar, though she was now dead. Dead hmmm, leader's were dropping left and right it seemed. First Ghoststar from Celestialclan and now Larkstar from his clan. His own clan. Oh well it was the past and there was nothing he could do about it now. For Wreathedstar was now the leader of Zephyrclan and Omencurse would follow him and the ways he wished to lead. Hearing the soft voice of his small apprentice Mintypaw the large tom turned his head. His golden eyes settled on her. He was quite the formidable tom though he didn't try to be. It was just his size. He didn't wish to speak to her, though he would have to. How was he supposed to train an apprentice without speaking to her or him. Though in this case it was a her. Opening his mouth to speak he shut his mouth and nodded his head briefly. "Let's go. We'll work on hunting. Hopefully to quell your loud noises of hunger." His voice was deep and gruff.

The little apprentice trailed behind her mentor, out to practice hunting and get a chance at having a meal before the day ended. Paws made no impression on the earth as Mintypaw padded quietly behind her large mentor. He did happen to be quite intimidating, especially to someone of her stature. Destined to be small for life, she had to learn not to fear things that were big. Conquering fear wasn't easy though, and being small made hunting plenty harder, because rabbits were actually a bit bigger than herself, and rabbits where what Zephyr territory offered. Ah well, hopefully Omencurse would teach her how to hunt things that were larger than her. Maybe a special technique? Probably, she would just end up not a good warrior, small and a bit to kindly, she was too nice to those of the other clans.

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I came here to talk
I hope you understand
The green eyes, yeah the spotlight, shines upon you
And how could, anybody, deny you
I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter now I met you
And honey you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green eyes
"Pull yourself together mouse brain!" He told himself/
Crypticstrak softly touched his nose to her ear and rested his tail on her flank, which was rapidly rising and falling from her breathing. "Shhh, its ok, everything is going to be fine." He purred. Meanwhile his insides were churning, and a lump rose in his throat from seeing Ivywhisper in pain. He curled protectively around her making sure she knew he was there for her. His quiet purr rumbled in his belly, like background music to all this chaos. "You are going to make the most wonderful mother, kind natured and completely beautiful, everyone will know these are our kits with your good looks." He meowed. He watched her carefully, trying his best to keep calm in the middle of it all, he would try his hardest to help Ivywhisper, and if he had to help to keep the kits warm he would help. Anything he had to do, he would do it in a heartbeat as long as it was to help Ivywhisper.

Ivywhisper yowled louder, what was that Taintedleaf said to her? She could push? Finally! Then the kits could come out, the worst would be over. Then she look after the kits, care for them untill they were apprentices. That wa the best bit, no, the best bit would be watching them become warriors. That must feel great, to see your own kits all grown up and ready to fight for your clan.
She did as Taintedleaf said, and pushed. She didn't know if she would be able to keep them in for much longer, the urge to push was so strong. She pushed and pushed for the kit, her eyes screwed up. Suddenly, she could feel a kit beneath her, she turned slightly to look at a small bundle of wet fur, black and white like hers and Crypticstreaks. Speaking of Crypticstreak, he was speaking to her.
She purred slightly at him and licked her kit, before the pain reapeared. She pushed the kit to Crypticstreak, "Lick it please," She whispered, as she felt another kit coming.

Crypticstreak tumbled forward to see the precious little kit, although for a kit it was rather large, possibly a tom? He pressed his nose into Ivywhisper's fur before he bent down to lick the kit, careful not to hurt it, it looked to innocent and helpless. He purred closely and looked to Taintedleaf for some guidence. He rested his tail around the tiny little kit, sheltering it with his warm furry tail, from the draughts coming in, if there were any. This would be his role from now on as long as he lived, looking after these kits with all his life.

Happiness went through Ivywhisper as she saw Crypticstreak with their kit. He was going to be great with them. She was also happy that she could now say THEM. She started licking the next kit that had arrived, a small white she-cat. She smiled and started licking it, and purred with happiness once more when it began to move. She wondered if the one Crypticstreak had was moving...
Another contraction told her there were more kittehs to come, and so another did. Another small one, this time all black. (Tis the stillborn one) It smelt like a she-cat and she began licking it, and then passed it to Crypticstreak as she felt another. This was going to be a biiig family.

Crypticstreak purred as the kit he had began to wriggle and squeal. He passed it over to Taintedleaf to check, along with the white one, then he received a totally black one. He began to lick it just as he had done with the other one and his heart began to thud faster as the kit did not stir. He pushed his wet nose into the tiny hairs scattered along her body. Nothing. He gulped and carefully moved her aside to Taintedleaf. He could not allow his mate to see this, at least for the moment. He padded over to Ivywhisper and touched his nose to her head. "Come on push! You are doing so well." He purred encouragingly. They would have all of their beautiful family soon. "Taintedleaf if you need anything I will help you to the best of my ability." He meowed and his glistening green eyes darted to look over his mate with pride.

Three kits, but more to come! How many would there be, Ivywhisper wondered. So many, but more or hers and Crypticstreaks! They could look after them, of course Crypticstreak may have to do some warrior duties, but he could come and see the kits whenever he liked. And knowing Crypticstreak he might be with them for a while...
The next kit was black and white again, and a she-cat. It was a very small kit, smaller than the others. She smiled and started licking it untill it moved around her, presumably to find milk. She could hardly feel anything anymore, the pain numbing her. The last kit was a quite large kit, a tom. She licked it untill it moved, then stopped, falling onto her her side in exaustion. She smiled to Crypticstreak and nudged the kits towards her belly.

Crypticstreak's purr rumbled as he pushed the two healthy kits softly towards their mother, guiding them all the way. Then he turned to Taintedleaf with a flicker of sadness in his deep green eyes. He touched his nose to the black she-kit knowing that nothing could be done to make her come to life. "May Starclan watch over you my little angel, Velvetkit." He whispered then looked at Taintedleaf once more. He padded over to his mates side and sat down near her head. He watched the kits carefully then touched his nose to Ivywhisper. "Sleep now m'dear, you were brilliant, I am so proud of you, and may Starclan watch over our kits." He purred and gave her a few licks on the head and moved away to leave her in peace. "I hope she is ok." He meowed to nobody in perticular.

Taintedleaf let the kits coem from Ivywhispers body naturally. She didn't need any help. This was instinct for mother cats. The queen had been brilliant. Slowly he moved over to her side as kit after kit appeared. He passed them onto Crypticstreak gently, examining each one carefully. His heart froze when a small black one was at his orange paws. It wasn't breathing...it wasn't moving. Sadness came over his eyes and when he looked at Crypticstreak...it was reflected there. "Ivywhisper needs you now..." he whispered to the tom, pulling a small amount of moss over the tiny she-kit. Velvetkit... Taintedleaf thought sorrowfully. The small kitten would never see the sun rise, never open her eys or hear the sounds of the forest. Never smell the scents of her kin. No, she was with StarClan now. He quickly helped move all the small kits to Ivywhispers side, allowing them to drink milk. He shot a sharp glance at her mate, motioning to him not to say anythign about the dead kit till she had her breath back.
He moved over to the other queen, who was just about ready to push as well now. He felt her stomach once more before taking a deep breath. "Now Shiverleaf now!" he breathed loudly, glancing at Glasspaw to come and watch as he was doing. He waited anxouisly for the next litter of kits. Hopefully there would be no stillborns, but one could never tell. Ivbywhispers kits had coem early though, he thought sadly.
Phew...one done, one to go! |

Glasspaw;; [/size][/font] Glasspaw didnt know exactly what to do, Taintedleaf seemed to be doing everything just fine. Her sightless ice colored optics tried to search for something, something to see. So much was happening around and she couldnt even watch it happen. Sighing she turned her head towards Ivywhisper. Smiling encouragly she dipped her head softly to the parents. Soon a new scent entered her nostrals, one she hadnt smelled before. Blood mixed with something else, the kits were here! She purred at the soft sound of mewing that echoed in her ears. The brown swirled she-cat felt eyes burning into her pelt gently. Taintedleaf was talking to Shiverleaf now. "Congradulations Ivywhisper, Crypticstreak." she mewed softly and got to her paws. Trotting over to Taintedleafs scent she sat down next to him. Her ears flicked towards the other queen. She pressed her side into Taintedleafs for a moment, the energy around them was so strong. Too bad she could never have that. She wished she could. |

Tigerlily sat in the back of the camp looking at the small cluster of cats. Her head tilted to the right making her soft velvet fur ripple. She blinked quizzically, I wonder what's going on. she thought curiously. Tigerlily sighed and then turned her attention to her velvety paws, she only got along well with apprentices. But other warriors were over there, even two medicine cats! Tigerlily rippled her fur uncomfortably, Why don't I have courage. her silvery eyes blank but somehow filled with confusion. Tigerlily looked back up but then down again Move. Towards. Them!!but she couldn't... Why can't my apprentice be here with me.. |

Shiverleaf heard the words of Taintedleaf and knew that she would have to. For if she didn't she might be risking her kits' lives and she would simply not do that. Following the instructions she let a cry of pain before sinking into a relapse of perfect happiness. She wasn't sure why the feeling her her like a tidal wave. Silencing the loud piercing screeches and yowls. They were still existence though not nearly as harsh on the ears of her clan-mates. Within time a kit was seen, eventually it would be laid at her side with 3 other kits though she knew nothing of that. Time seemed to go on forever and she didn't know whether she would live through this. Though the tinge of happiness she had experienced was still lingering in her body as the final kit arrived. Four healthy happy kits. Four beautiful kits. They all resembled their father. Though one kit seemed to be a double shaded gray. Different then the rest. She looked smaller, dainty.
