Chapter One

Honey'wood cuddled her two kits as Heavy'smoke cared for her lower pains.

"I wish I could give you poppy seeds but it's bad during mother-hood." Heavy'smoke mewed as she sorted herbs.

"I know, but I swear I'll be fine! Butterfly'kit and Lavender'kit shouldn't be that hard to handle alone!" She whined like a small apprentice.

Butterfly'kit started to sneeze softly.

"Aw." Honey'wood said softly, looking at her two little fluff-balls.

Heavy'smoke sighed.

She finished sorting herbs and sat down next to Honey'wood.

"I was thinking you should stay in the medicine den just in case." She mentioned.

Honey'wood looked down at her kits and looked back up.

"Of course, I think that would be safest." She Purred.

Soon another cat walked in, carrying a smaller cat, who was bleeding terribly.

Heavy'smokes' eyes widened as she ran to them to help.

Honey'smoke was especially shocked.

Burrow'wood put down Mountain'view.

"Mountain'view was attacked by that same badger that killed Evening'sky." Explained Burrow'wood, still a bit shaken.

Heavy'smoke nodded and started to clean up the cuts and teared skin, which still traumatized Honey'wood as her ears were tucked back.

Burrow'wood sighed, calming down when he saw the kittens.

"You gave birth already?" He whispered.

Honey'wood shook her head to distract herself, smiled and nodded.

"Butterfly'kit and Lavender'kit are their names." She said, licking her kits head.

Burrow'wood nodded and smiled.

She sighed a bit afterward, laying down as her kits calmed down from mewling.

Burrow'wood nodded to Heavy'smoke and walked out.

Mountain'view would groan and whimper in pain as her scars tended to.

Heavy'smoke finally stopped after wrapping her face and front legs with spider webs and soft, silky leaves.

"Thank you Heavy'smoke." She gratefully sighed, glad that the pain lowered down.

"I would like you to stay here at least for 2 moon rises as I'm worried you may still be infected." She said, flicking her ears.

"Oh and, I will need to ask someone to get more herbs, I know we have plenty but it's best we save up as we have a saver in that small hole." She said, leaving the den after she spoke.

Honey'wood looked at her kins' scars. (Kin- related to)

"Darling are you ok?" She said, a bit more softly.

"I think I'll be ok honey'wood, but I'll look like a freak! My face is messed up and my front legs are horrible." She wailed quietly.

"Don't be like that, you survived, and those scars show bravery and dignity. They are also unique, to you at least, and maybe me." She said, kindly.

Mountain'view smiled and curled up.

"I might take a nap." She said softly before closing her eyes to rest.

Bramble'blossom walked into camp with a large-like vole in his mouth and some more prey on his back.
