-{ Chapter 1- Goodbye, Mistycloud. }-

~85 Moons Later~

Almost the entire clan was gathered around the nursery as Mistycloud, a beautiful white queen expecting her first litter of kits, was kitting. Next to her was Sunpelt, a ginger and white tom medicine cat, who helped Mistycloud through the process.

With a gasp of pain came the first kit, which was a reddish and golden shecat. She toppled into the mossy nest beside her mother.

Then came the second kit, a soft-furred white shecat.

A third scrawny ginger tom fell into the nest.

Sunpelt's warm smile disappeared as the white queen started to lose blood. As Sunpelt stared at the white queen and her scrawny kit, he realized that her flanks weren't rising and falling. In fact, they weren't moving at all.

Sunpelt stepped outside of the nursery. Almost the whole of RiverClan was waiting outside. Sunpelt had a pained look in his eyes.

"Mistycloud and one of her kits..."

"...are dead."

Sunpelt's quiet voice seemed to echo around the clearing.

An anguished wail rang through the RiverClan camp.

"Mistycloud! NO!" the miserable mew of Minnowleap, Mistycloud's mate, sounded muffled in Cloudjumper's ears.

Mistycloud had been the first RiverClan cat to accept Cloudjumper when he joined the clan. He had thought of her as his own kin. It was like everything around him didn't matter. He was so encased in grief that he barely heard a soft voice in his ear.

Clearwater whispered in his ear, "She's with Star Clan now..."

Her voice was as filled with sorrow as much as CloudJumper's heart. As Sun-pelt headed back into the nursery to grab the limp bodies, Cloud-Jumper heard a faint mewling. He leaped so quickly to his feet that he almost fell over. Clearwater jumped back surprised. Cloud-Jumper and Minnowleap leapt like lions to get to the nursery.

Two kits lay sleepily in the mossy nest.

There was a white kit with gray stripes and a kit with a mottled orange and sunset red pelt.

Both were beautiful SheCats, the spitting image of their mother. As Minnowleap sniffed his fluffy kits, a beautiful pink petal fell onto the little white kit's pink nose. Minnowleap, still filled with grief, whispered in a gentle sweet voice, unlike his usual gruff tone,

"The white one will be called Blossomkit, to symbolize the petal that fell. And the orange one will be named Sunsetkit for her sunset-colored pelt."

As Cloudjumper stared at the two kits he swore he heard the voice of Mistycloud whispering,

"Take good care of my kits."

As Cloudjumper heard Mistycloud's soft mew, he nodded making a promise, a vow.
