[UNDER MAJOR CONSTRUCTION] The First Dream (Book One)

Chapter 24

Sun seeps into Swiftfeather and Fogstar's snug den as Swiftfeather sits up. She hears a faint quarrel and Swiftfeather's curiosity forces her outside.

"Whispercloud!" Sunflame meows angrily "Your kitting is less than a moon away! Your belly is swollen with kits! You need rest. You need to stay in the nursery!"

"I want to help my clan!" Whispercloud meowed back "I can't do that if I'm sitting in the nursery!"

"You can help the clan by having healthy kits!" Sunflame meowed, realizing that Swiftfeather is watching. Sunflame looked away from his mate, walked towards Swiftfeather and lowered his meow to a whisper. "Please help her. She's very stubborn." Swiftfeather nods as Sunflame jogs to join a patrol.

"Whispercloud," Swiftfeather meows while sitting down next to her "I was just like you. A stubborn warrior that didn't want to give up that life because of my kits. But please, join the nursery for your kits' sake."

"Well," Whispercloud started but before she could finish her sentence Swiftfeather interrupted

"I am positive you won't be the only one in there for long." She meowed glancing at Heatherwind sharing tongues with Rootfur.

"Fine!" Whispercloud meowed, flicking her tail rapidly "I'll go!"

"Thank you." Swiftfeather meowed before getting up and walking over to Heatherwind "Hey littermate!" Swiftfeather meows. Heatherwind glances and Rootfur and then looks back at her littermate

"Swiftfeather," Heatherwind smiles "We are expecting kits!" Rootfur sits up with pride and smiles at his mate

"Well, I wonder what color they're going to be!" Swiftfeather meows sarcastically, laughing so hard she can barely breathe

"Hey! Oh goodness, Swiftfeather!" Rootfur meows, his scowl turning into a smile once he glances at his and his mate's pelts "Our kits will be the prettiest brown kits ever!"

"Swiftfeather?" Whitebelly meows from across the clearing

"Coming!" Swiftfeather meows, but before leaving she smiles to Heatherwind and Rootfur "Yes, Whitebelly?"

"Can you join the next hunting patrol with Twigpaw. Nightstep and Rabbitpaw will join." Whitebelly asks nicely

"Of course!" Swiftfeather meows, then turns towards Twigpaw "Twigpaw! Come on! Hunting patrol!"

"Coming, coming!" Twigpaw meows, embarrassed "Goodness! Just come and get me next time!"

"Well the clan needs food." Swiftfeather meows while cuffing Twigpaw on the ear. Twigpaw just laughs as they venture farther away from the camp.

"We'll go that way." Nightstep meows "I saw some birds" Swiftfeather nods as Nightstep takes Rabbitpaw the other way

"You run that rabbit towards me, and I'll catch it." Twigpaw meows, once the other cats are gone

"Are you sure?" Swiftfeather asks, glancing at the rabbit that is nibbling on some grass "It looks pretty fast."

"Don't worry. I've got this. Cloudpaw taught me a tactic." Twigpaw meows her head raised high with pride. Swiftfeather makes a huge loop around the eating rabbit. She flicks her tail and starts to jog. The jog turns into a full on run as the rabbit, now aware, runs towards Twigpaw who is hiding behind a rock. Twigpaw jumps out right when the rabbit is only a couple tail lengths away. The rabbit, startled stops right in its tracks and lets Twigpaw have an easy catch.

"Good job!" Swiftfeather meows as the fresh smell of rabbit fills her nose. Twigpaw responds with a smile and the two she-cats walk back to camp.

Yay! Good job Twigpaw! Okay don't forget to comment and star and read the next chapter cause... It's the.. End! Byee! ~Swift
