Peace filled the camp as water barrelled down the cliff. The sun shone bright overhead, light dappled onto the dirt and into the roots of an ancient tree, a red she-cat sat in her herb filled den sorting out pungent herbs, the sound of cries ringed in her ears, the echoing sound came from a dark hidden, moss covered tunnel, the young she-cat rose to her aching paws and into the softly lined tunnel, that smelt damp and soothing. The cries amplified as she got closer and closer to the end of the Tunnel.
"What took you so long Foxstripe" Hissed Smokebreeze baring her sharp yellow teeth in pain. The queen's belly was bulging, heaving up and down as she breathed heavily.
"You need to start pushing Smokebreeze, You should do perfectly fine"Foxstripe soothed licking the Queen's ear.
InstantlySmokebreeze's stomach spasms and she lets out a howl as a small kit is deposited into the soft moss lining of the nest. Smokebreeze roughly licks the coating off the kit as it tried to fumble about towards her stomach for warmth and comfort.
"You need to push again Smokebreeze," mewed as she examined the small kit "It's a tom-kit".
Once again Smokebreeze's stomach spasms and two small kits tumble out into the nest. Foxstripe licks the coating off one of the small kittens. The three newborns fumble about and settle into the warm scent of Smokebreeze's fur and begin to kneed her stomach for milk.
"One tom-kit and two she-kits!" Foxstripe pauses as she sees that one of the she-kits' was born without fur. Her fur stood on end as words fumbled out of her mouth "Great Starclan!" Angrily Smokebreeze hissed at Foxstripe as she protects her kits covering them with her long tail. Eagleheart approached a lush Bush, he crawled through the bush and down a small rabbit hole pushing his bulky frame into the Nursery to Smokebreeze, she was laying down next to the three kits, his throat rumbled as he let out a loud purr of pride. Toadwhisker laid in her nest beside Smokebreeze, with her three kits Flamekit, Tanglekit and Lizardkit. Eagleheart looks to his mother and then to his newborn littermates.
"What are they called Smokebreeze?" Questioned Eagleheart as happiness welled from his heart and to his paws.
"The brown and orange tom-kit is called Timberkit" she announced licking the tom kit's fur making him look neater. "The honey mottled she-kit is Yellowkit, and this blue-grey bare she-kit is Fallingkit, they are all so beautiful aren't they Eagleheart"
"They are perfect Smokebreeze, Starclan couldn't give you better kits."Purred Eagleheart.
"Eagleheart, if anything happens to me, please protect them" pleaded Smokebreeze, Eagleheart give Smokebreeze a reassuring nod and left the nursery.
Moon high approached the sparkling Silverpelt, the waterfall tunnelled down the cliff's face, crickets chirped as the camp was somewhat silent as the cats slept in the warm comfort of their dens. The wisteria blew in and out as the sea breeze raced out of the camp and into the meadow. A heavy pawed Tom padded through the entrance, his long fur was clad in dry mud masking the smell of his scent. The tom lifted his head and opened his mouth tasting the air, he tastes the familiar taste of his mate's scent and pads down the moss lined rabbit hole.
"Smokebreeze, you know what I need, you have one moon left. If you do not follow my orders, your thing you have here will be gone." The tom slithered back up the hole not waiting from a response and leaves the camp not leaving a trail, not disturbing another cat.
"Hurry up Yellowkit!"squeaked Timberkit as he raced around the nursery with Fallingkit a tail length behind him.
"But I'm tired! I just want to sleep" grumbled Yellowkit laying down on the dirt flooring.
"Yellowkit there is no point sleeping when the nest is being cleaned" huffed Fallingkit chasing after her littermate.
"Fine!" Snapped Yellowpaw getting to her paws
