Rainfrost's Destiny

Chapter 6

Rainfrost rose from her best, badgerfrost was already in the clearing, it had been at least 7 moons since Ratear attacked her. Her siblings had become deputies. Similar incidents had happened to them. All the clans had been finding strange rogue scents on the territory. But there was something finiliar about the scent. Then cats began to go missing, first it was Pink foot, then stormfoot and now Sweetberry. They were all cats close to her and now they were missing. She was living in constant terror for her mate. She sent out patrols, deciding not to go on any today. She padded over to the medicine den. 'Littlestorm! ' she called. The small tom came running over to her. 'I feel sick.. ' she muttered. 'Its because your expecting. ' He responded, the tom was getting old. 'WHAT? ' She gasped. 'But I don't want kits! Im deputy for star clans sake. ' She hissed. 'You don't have to raise them, Feather foot is expecting to. She can nurse them. I know you don't want kits. ' Littlestorm mewed, a flood of relief came to her. 'I need to tell Badgerfrost.. ' She raced to her mate. 'Badgerfr-' She was cut off. 'DONT TALK TO ME! I KNOW WHAT YOU DID! ' Badgerfrost hissed. 'What do you mean? ' She asked. Badgerfrost gave her a look of hatred. 'You know what you did. ' He hissed. 'But im-' Badgerfrost ran off, she decided that if he didn't believe or care anymore she wouldn't tell him. She turned her head and noticed Smallwhisker laughing his tail off. 'Whats funny she asked? ' Her voice was achy. 'Oh, nothing much.. Just told badgerfrost a little something. . Make him hate you. ' Smallwhisker laughed. 'What...? ' She gasped. 'Toodles! ' He ran off. She stood in shock. Her fur bristles in anger. She scanned the camp for badgertrost. Noticing his fur she raced to him. 'Badgerfrost! You have to listen! ' She gasped 'Fine speak up. ' He hissed. 'I don't know what Smallwhisker said but he toled me he lied to you! ' She cried. 'How am I supposed to believe you? Your obviously lying. Cut the act. ' He growled. Her eyes widened. 'You want me to cut the act? What act? I've only hid one thing from you. You would've known if you didn't listen to Smallwhisker. But I guess my kits will grow up without a father because you can't pick the right path. ' Sh hissed. Badgerfrost d eyes widened in shock. 'Kits?! ' He gasped. 'Kits. YOUR KITS! ' She yelled. It didn't matter that everyone knew now. Badgertrost eyes watered. 'Im sorry! I didn't know.. ' Badgerfrost cried. She glanced at him. 'Why forgive you when you can't even believe your own mate? You know Smallwhisker hates me. It's obvious he was lying. He talks mousedung about us all the time. Yet you believe him over me. I can't believe you Badgerfrost. 'She hissed stomping away. Badgerfrost called her name but she ignored him, no point in talking to a ton who couldnt evwn bother to care for her properly. Her heart was broken. She walked over to the tree stump choosing to sleep away from her so called mate. If he chose to do this to her. She'd get revenge. It was hard to sleep that night cold winds blew over and it began to snow. Making her even more cold. She shivered 'C-cold... ' She gasped. Her misty breath shown in the cold lead bare air. She whimpered. Covering her face with her tail. She woke up, covered from head to tail in snow. She slowly rose up. Shaking off Tufts of snow. She drowsily walked to the wet rock. Calling patrols. She sent the cats off and headed to the medicine den. 'Littlestorm? ' she called. He ran to her. 'Oh starclan your cold. Fight with Badgerfrost? ' he mewed calmly. she nodded. 'How did you know? ' She asked. 'I heard it, your shouldn't torture yourself by ignoring him. Forgive him. He didn't know. ' Littlestorm informed her. She nodded paddinf off. She had sent Badgerfrost on a patrol be able she couldn't bare the thought of seeing him. It'd be a bit until he returned. She sent him on a patrol with Featherfoot, Featherfoot was always slower then a slug. She sighed. Why did she have to be so difficult? She missed Pinkfoot, her apprentice had always been cheerful. Sweetberry to, her best friend. Sweetberrys former apprentice, Birdtail had been depressed. She could tell Birdtail liked sweetberry. She padded to the clearing. She noticed the familiar black and white pelt and ran to him. 'Badgerfrost? ' She asked. 'Yes...? ' He responded eerily. 'I.. Forgive you. ' she muttered, embarrassed. He nudged her and smiled. 'I knew you would.. ' he whispered. 'Im so excited for our kits.. ' He mewed. 'Yeah.. About that.. Im not gonna stay in the nursery with them. I'm gonna keep doing my dutys.. I don't think I can handle not doing anything for my clan.. ' She muttered, guilt flooded through her. 'What..? You can't do that! ' Her mate hissed. 'I can and I will, I don't want to sit in the nursery all day... I can't handle it. Besides some things coming I know it and I must be ready. ' She responded. Her mate just nodded and left. She could tell he was sad..She Looking guilty at the ground. She shuffled her paws nervously. She was heavy with kits and her legs ached each time she walked, why had starclan cursed her with this? She couldn't have kits.. She didn't want to.. But maybe she did, but she wouldn't be able to watch them grow up. Her duty for the clan stopped her. She sighed. Why had she been chosen for this? She was planning to meet up with her siblings tonight. Snowstar offered to take over patrols because it was harder for her. She padded outside of camp for a walk. She hopped across stepping stones and walked across the grass. Heading towards the gorge she stopped to stare, the way the waves crashed and fell calmed her. She dug her claws into the ground to hold her down better. She heard rustling in the bushes and turned her head padding over to investigate she halted as she felt something was coming. She noticed a flash of brown and then the world went dark. She gasped as she woke up in a strange place.. The barn! She stood up and looked up, she was in a twoleg cage and Clawstorm stared down at her. She let out a yowl of surprise. She looked next to her, Sweetberry and Pink foot! But where was Storm foot? 'Stormfoots... Gone. ' Pinkfoot muttered, her heart sank. 'Oh my star clan your expecting! ' Sweetberry gasped rushing over to her friend. 'Your sure to have your kits any day now! We need to get you out! ' Sweetberry whispered. 'Clawstorms been feeding us but it's not enough.. We can sent rogues and the other former deputy's here to... Great starclan I'm hungry.. ' Pinkfoot complained. 'Your kits are coming soon, when Featherfoot was like this her kits came the next day, will need to make a best for you. ' Sweetberry mewed, worry flooded in her amber eyes. Pinkfoot and Sweetberry began to make a best, using feathers from old prey and mouse fur. They added some grass that grew in the cracks of the barn they plucked when reaching out of the silver vine. she rested on the nest. The barn had gotten dark and she knew it was moon high resting her head she woke up to a strange pain, she then realised what was happening. 'My kits! ' She yowled, Pinkfoot grabbed a stick giving it to Rainfrost, a spasm shot through her and a bundle of fur fell out, she quickly began to lick it, it happend 2 more times. Her kits were beautiful, One was a grey white and black tortoiseshell and one was fully black with the other being white with grey stripes. 'Ill name the white tabby one.. Bristlekit. The white one can be Cloudkit and the other will be Silver kit.. ' She mewed happily, covering her kits with her tail. She couldn't bare to lose her children. Claw storm looked with a hiss. Padding off. She knew what she had to do. She had to wait until her kits were weened. She watched as they began to suckle, feeling uncomfortable she ignored it. She had to be silent, clawstorm came back with 2 rabbits and dropped it. 'Rainfrost will take one, she needs milk for her kits.. And I'd rather make her suffer a different way. ' Clawstorm hissed padding away. She ate some of the rabbit and pushed it away for the others. She rested her head and fell asleep. The soft winds of the air blew into the cage.
