Butterflywing;; [/size][/color] Butterflywing leaned down take another bite from her prey, swiping her tounge again over her lips in satisfaction. Flamingarrow didnt seem in the mood to talk, so she thought it best not to provoke the queen. Her aquamarine hues turned to another sound that she quickly recognized as Northwind. A smile pursed her lips and she dipped her head. "Evening Northwind." she mewed brightly blinking her eyes in greeting.
She eyed the prey and smirked pleasnatly. "You going to pay me back for that." she winked nudging him playfully with an outstretched paw. "Only kidding." she purred laughing at herself with a musical type laugh. Her gaze flickered up to Darkfog. She smiled at him and parted her lips to speak, but snapped it shut. A new voice rung in her ears and her attention was averted to Serinewinter.
She didnt know what to make of the situation but every seemed at ease with her appearance. She smiled lightly. "Hello---up Serinewinter, right?" she mewed and blushed lightly at her shyness towards her. "Im Butterflywing." she pirked up flashing her a kind smile. Turning she spotted Chasmriver and Flamingarrow. She could feel the tension between them like thunder throughout her body and shivered.
She hoped that when she took a mate it would be like this. At that moment a soft mew rung in her ears. She turned her head up towards Dustmask. She smiled brightly and purred at his presence. His smile made her grin, flashing a row of sharp white teeth. Making it into a gentle smile she dipped her head. "Dustmask." she mewed his name, her voice velvet smooth. "Im glad to see you." she replied gently. "What to share? I dont think i can finish all of it." she invited warmly flicking her tail towards the plump shrew she was nibbling on. |

[flaming|arrow] Before the tom had even stopped making his retort to her tears had began to fall down her face. What she wanted? All she had wanted was love, and he obviously wasn't going to give that to her. She would give birth to his, feed his kits, and raise his kits, and he wouldn't even give them even a second glance, would he? She forgot about being embarrassed even to go out into camp and sat directly in the center of camp and cried. Nothing mattered anymore. She didn't mean anything to anyone, and felt as if she would be better off dead. Think of the kits, Flamingarrow. she heard in her voice. It surprised her to hear the delicate voice of Poppyfur - one of the only cats that would forever love her - and she felt soothed. The tears kept falling, but she wasn't crying for her sake anymore. She was crying for the kits. They would grow up hardly even knowing their father, or would he miraculously step in only to teach them to hate her? She shivered as a wave of ice cold fear surged through her. No. She wouldn't allow it. She shakily stood up only to fall back down again out of pure exhaustion even though she had only just woken up. Damn kits caused so many mood swings. |

"Thank you." She purred to Cloverspring and touched her nose to the other she-cats shoulder. "Have you seen Radia.." She began to ask about her old friend but she was interrupted from her name being called once again from somewhere behind her. She gave Cloverspring a quick apologetic smile and turned around to find where her name came from. Darkfog. He had not changed a bit. Her aqua orbs widened out of curiosity. How was he? She was glad to see he was still around. Who was she kidding? She was so happy to see him again, but all four paws remained fixed to their spot. She did not move. Then he was gone. Abyssbird...what on earth...She began to shake her head, it couldn't be that little bitch. He had trained her as an apprentice and that was all that was going on between them, the sneaky little pair of mouse brains! She deserved a good clawing that was for sure. She even helped to train the she-cat! How could she not have seen it coming? How....dare they. She took a step back and blinked. The muscles in the delicate little she-cat began to tense up as her claws teased the ground gently. A soft snarl left her maw. NO! She would not let Shard's ways take over her. She would not forget all she knew and become one of those filthy blood lusting cats, even if they did fight well. She took a deep breath and turned to Cloverspring. "I am guessing Lynxstar will be in her den, excuse me." She meowed and went to find her leader. It was almost impossible to hide the hurt in her tone. Padding over to her leaders den she waited patiently outside. "Lynxstar." She called.

'Lynxstar?'
It was a voice she didnt recognize. Or, perhaps she did, but it wasnt registering in the exhausted leader's clouded mind. Her wide jaws popped open and stretched, emitting a gust of breath as she fought to keep her dull grey eyes open, having just woken from a deep, peaceful slumber. Blinking a few times, to clear her fogged vision, Lynxstar rose and clawed the grassy earth before her, sinking her claws in fully and leaning her thick bodice backwards in a full stretch. She cracked her lips open once more in a second yawn, then ubruptly plopped down in her bed of pine needles on moss lazily, and opened her maw to call. "Come in please!" She mewed softly, though her normally rough voice was even more cracked than usual, shrouded with sleepiness yet. Realization dawned on her. Were Abyssbird or Flamingarrow giving birth? Oh dear StarClan, would she have to deliver again? She let out a soft groan and awaited her visiter to reveal herself. "Something wrong?" She added cautiously, begging StarClan it wasnt kits yet.
a b y s s b i r d - - - [ <3 ]
No, this was real. Utterly and undeniably real. The tom she thought she was simply helping through his tough time by sacrificing her own body was actually in love with her. Maybe these kits wouldnt be so messed up after all. A soft, rumbling purr erupted from her throat as Darkfog called out of the nursery, then scuttled to her other side and laid down, actually happy. She hadnt seen him this way since Serenewinter had been here, helping her rehabhilitate him, persay. Smiling, she looked up at his proud face and drew her tougue slowly over her nose, content as her body finally gbegan to get accustomed to the pangs of angry fie racing through her from her abdoment, but then there was another pop, and Abyssbird cried out, splaying her forepaws out and sitting up, teal eyes wide. Another jolt, and another short yowl. These were worse than before, but Abyssbird avoided writhing by huddling against Darkfog's massive frame, begging StarClan to take this pain away, and, miraculously, within moment she knew what was happening. "Darkfog!" She groaned, digging her claws into the nest. "The- the kits!" She gasped in pain and pointed towards Lynxstar's den. "Get someone!" Her voice rose several octaves as she spoke frantically, praying with all of her heart and faith.

Serenewinter glanced over her shoulder, shivers running down her spine at the sound of wailing Queen's. She shook the thoughts from her head and then realized that Lynxstar had spoken when she was in a trance. "Oh no of course not! My apologies." She meowed as the lean limbs carried her into Lynxstar's den for the first time in a long time. She looked around the leaders den as if seeing it once again. "I was hoping that I would still be welcome in Vertigoclan." She explained calmly with a sweet smile across her maw. It was good to see another familiar face. Really she was thinking about Darkfog. Maybe she should never have come back, maybe she should have stayed with one of the rather handsome tom's she met out there, they at least were nice when they wanted a she-cat, not normally otherwise. There was nothing wrong with them apart from their lust for blood. Just then she felt a lurching sensation down in her belly, like she was about to throw up a nasty piece of prey, but nothing came. Her head fell to her paws slightly embarrassed. "Excuse me, I don't seem to be feeling my best after all that traveling." She purred innocently.

Darkfog purred softly as he laid with Abyssbird in the Nursery. His kits would be here soon, sooner than he thought apparently. As she curled closer into his fur, a serious and worried expression crossed his face. As Darkfog heard her words he smiled and quickly scrambled to his paws. "I'm going." He mewed quickly racing out of the Nursery and bursting into Lynxstar's den. He didn't even notice Serenewinter as Abyssbird was the only thing on his mind now. "Lynxstar! It's Abyssbird, the kits are here." He panted, noticing Serenewinter and dipping his head. Quickly rushing to the Medicine Cat's den he spotted Littlepaw. "Well you have a big job on your hands. Abyssbird is having her kits let's go." Moving out of the den quickly he moved swiftly towards the Nursery once more.
---
Dustmask smiled softly as Butterflywing offered the mouse and was about to answer until he saw Darkfog race out of the Nursery. "Well looks like Abyssbird shall be having her kits ready or not. " He spoke softly and chuckled lightly at the thought of kits coming into the clan. He was happy that there would be although they weren't his. The tom loved kits, and would be glad about the fact that new kits would be here. "Thank you but no thank you. I'm full enough as is." The tom smiled lightly and watched the scene unfold. He wasn't sure what was happening with Serenewinter and Abyssbird and Darkfog. It was a very confusing story that he could not get straight.

[lily|thorn] lillies on the water, thorns in the heart Ice cold eyes searched the camp quickly as she entered camp. Her top priorities right now were Flamingarrow, who's kits would be due so very soon; Abyssbird, who could go into labor at any second; to the Clan, whom she would always remain loyal to. She opened her mouth and took in the scents of her friends and many clanmates. She caught the scent of a different cat, and was that the scent of fear? She decided to check out the nursery, and she was on her way to it when she realized what was happening. Abyssbird's kits were coming. She raced to the entrance of the nursery, but stayed to the side of it as she called in so she could leave room for Darkfog and Littlepaw who would be coming. "Abyssbird, everything is going to be fine. Darkfog and Littlepaw are on their way." she called into the nursery, and then she headed on to Lynxstar's den to see who the cat of a different scent was. If she had gone to the leader's den then it wouldn't be a very dangerous cat, but then again, Lynxstar could hold her own. "Lynxstar! I'm coming in." she called into the hollow log. She entered the hollow and spotted a she-cat she hardly recognized: Serenewinter. She stared at her old clanmate. "Serenewinter! It's so good to.. to see you!" she meowed happily. Life was falling back into normalcy, and Lilythorn was happy. Then she realized it. Darkfog and Serenewinter had been close, but how close? Had he only used Abyssbird? Worry surged through her momentarily happy body.

Littlepaw__&&
I'll always help you make it through, but I am little, so it will be a miracle if I do Littlepaw was just lying in his den, waiting for some of what he'd call "action." He was very bored and had already sorted all of the herbs...three times. He was drawing a circle in the dust with his claws when a cat burst through his den. Immediatly annoyed by his ruining his perfect setup, he listened with an edge on him. Yes, he did have a big job on his hands. But there was no rushing art. "Healing is an art, Darkfog. It takes time. Please wait patiently. No, you cannot come into the nursery while your beloved Abyssbird is kitting." He siad impatiently. He was already excited that he got to do his first kitting on his own. He grabbed some borage leaves in his jaws and then some camomile.
He quickly padded out of his den and over to the nursery. "Stay here." He muttered between the herbs in his jaws. He padded into the nursery and over to Abyssbird, his blue eyes shining with happiness. He set down the herbs and began to speak. "Well, please relax. It's not easy..." He scared her a bit, then shook his head. "Nah, you'll do great, Darkfog thinks so, and so do I."

Serenewinter stood quietly as Darkfog pushed past her invisible figure in the leaders den. One thing was now clear, she was totally out of the picture. He had more than one mental kick in the gut coming for him, little did she know about one of them. Maybe she should have stayed with those cats after all. She quietly dipped her head to Lynxstar and Lilythorn and left the leaders den only feeling in the way. Quickly dashing across camp she entered the warriors den and nearly went flying into Radianteclipse. She began to purr softly as she burrowed her head into her friends pelt. "I missed you." She purred very quietly to her friend. Wet tears began to soak her friends pelt as they say together. She felt Radianteclipse rest her grey tail upon her white shoulders. There was so much they had to talk about, but right now was not the time. Would she even be able to stay here and face it all? What if she mentored one of there kits? How hard would it be to resist all the blood lust Shard had already filled her head with?

"Oh, um, okay..." The words spilled out of her maw in a jumbled heap as her brilliant green lights widened in shock, then drooped abruptly in defeat. There was clearly some kind of bizarre love triangle in the background that was a bit too much for her. "It was nice..talking to you.." she mumbled mostly to herself, exhaling a puff of air and watching it spiral into the atmosphere dismally. She picked up her paws, which were nearly glued to the ground and began to drag herself nowhere in particular when a yowl exploded from the nursery and she stiffened. Abyssbird. Flamingarrow was out near the fresh-kill pile. Panic erupted throughout the camp as Darkfog dashed into the medicine cat den and out with Littlepaw in pursuit. She parked it and watched, mildly curious, fwapping her plume of a tail lazily. Everything seemed to be spinning out of control.
Frigid gusts pierced her side again, making her shudder. VertigoClan was a dramatic place. And she would always just be the shoulder to lean on, the dependable one who could be counted on not to be tripping over their paws in lovesickness or caught up in a scuffle. But was that really so bad? Sometimes it felt good to be trusted and relied on. So what it was a sucker punch when they had to run off to deal with their lives; she always managed to get over it.
With a carefree smile she continued on her way, keeping an eye on the action but submersed in her thoughts. Maybe she'd see Lynxstar and ask about an apprentice. Or Lilythorn? Her grin widened as she called out, "Hey, Lilythorn! Got a minute?" [/blockquote] |

A faint, weak whine whistled through her slightly grimacing lips as the scrawny pale gray tom rose and left in a frenzy of concern. Though this slightly amused her in the back of her muddled mind, Abyssbird was too concentrated on keeping down wails of dispair and agony as lightning jolted through her body in constant but uneven streaks, shaking her slender obsidian bodice. Her long, lean limbs twitched and kneaded to keep her from instinctively writhing and rolling about through the nursery, but she knew this would probably damage the restless beings inside of her, and restrained herself frommoving too much, though she did flop onto her side, panting. The approaching spring granted the weather a touch of warmth, but not enough to keep her thinly coated flesh from twitched and shivering. "Littlepaw!" She squeaked with relief, but then her quiet moan echoed worry at his foreboding words. The cocky little tom was probably enjoying then, she shot him a hard blue look before she flopped her head back down. There was no lie, she'd much rather have the expierianced Humblecharm here to aid her through her time of birth. Wasnt this apprentice supposed to be stuffing herbs in her maw? "Where's Darkfog and Lynxsta-" Her babbling, strained words were cut off with a sharp shriek.

The deputy quickly stepped out of Lynxstar's den and made her way towards Flamingarrow, who sat moping next to the fresh-kill pile. Then he sounds coming from the nursery - shreiks, screams, yowls, whines, and other noises of pain and suffering - made her shudder with a great fear. StarClan let her survive. she prayed quickly and silently. "Lilythorn - got a minute?" she heard from a she-cat near her. She turned towards them and recognized the young ashy gray she-cat with shockingly green eyes. "Ah.. Cloverspring. What can I do for you?" she asked her aquaintance. Her blue eyes sparkled with fear, excitement, and a certain degree of laughter during the entire little mess of Clan life. She waited impatiently for Cloverspring to respond, for she wanted to go out onto a patrol.

Sharply, she snapped her head from left, to right, feeling each ear touch her broad shoulder in turn, with a satisfying crack at each jagged movement. Ahh.. that never failed to hit the spot. A small, blush-pink tougue flicked out between her lips and dragged itself round her thick maw, shadowed into a faint smirk. All was well and chaotic in VertigoClan, as always. The clan of drama, for sure. Summerpath's brilliant green lgihts blazed for a moment, shining with a touch of nervousness as they flicked in the direction of the nursery. Through the low-hanging evergreen branches, she caught sight of Abyssbird's glossy pelt, and then Littlepaw's slight form. He was a good tom, he'd do alright. Even as she reassured herself, the lean warrior shivered, screwing her eyes shut and swiveling her ears backwards against the nape of her neck in attempt to block out the queen's ghastly wails. She needed to get out of camp in a snap. Jumping up, the white and tabby she-cat trotted over to Lilythorn, opening her mouth to emit a small chuckle. "Wow, sounds like that Littlepaw's clawing her eyeballs out in there, hm? Bah, she's not the biggest cat I know, but she's got a will to live, for sure. I've got a feeling she'll love those kits more than she'll ever love anyone else, including herself." She shook her head slowly and smiled, turning her head to face Cloverspring, and grinned, dipping her head in greeting. "You ladies interested in a hunt or something? I gotta get out of camp because that yowling is breaking my heart."

Littlepaw__&&
I'll always help you make it through, but I am little, so it will be a miracle if I do Littlepaw picked up the chamomile quickly and padded closer to Abyssbird. "Eat these, eat these. Calm down, or the kits will get injured!" he siad to her quickly, thinking of what Humblecharm had taught him. He answered her screech ending question. "They're waiting outside, they'll be able to come see the kits, when you're done birthing them, now calm down!" He insisteded to the she-cat. He inhaled calmly. "Lie down, alright. No need to worry about anything." he purred in her ear. Maybe he should let Darkfog come in to calm her...it would probably work, but not often would they come to that. He stuck his head out of the medicine cats den and looked at Darkfog. "Go get coltsfoot. It's a large yellow flower on the top rock. Hurry."

[lily|thorn]
lillies are beautiful ; thorns are painful She let out a real laugh as Summerpath spoke of Abyssbird and Littlepaw. Littlepaw is an impatient little apprentice. I feel bad for Abyssbird right now. And yes, she's got the will to live for sure. I just feel horrid because Serenewinter is back and I wonder what Darkfog is going to do with the two of them. I'd have to take him on a private patrol and kill him if he left Abyssbird. She'll love those kits, and if Darkfog..does leave her. I can't even think about how torn she'll be." she put in quickly after Summerpath had finished her first statement. Her Clanmate mentioned a patrol to get away from the heartbreaking sounds of birthing, and she quickly echoed her with her own reply. "A patrol would be a lifesaver at the moment. And," she turned to Cloverspring. "You can tell me about what you needed me for, Cloverspring." She started towards the camp entrance and turned back towards them. "Well? Come on girls." she called over Abyssbird's continuing yowls.
