Flamefur could see things no other cat could. Her clan saw it as a burden and so did she. Until one day Flamefur realized that it wasn't just her imagination. Her clan depends on her for their survival. But will they realize that before it's too lat...
Flamefur's eyes peeked open. Her entire body ached. there was only darkness surrounding her.
"Hello?" Flamefur called. She heard a gasp and her eyes adjusted. Bluefire sat in front of her. Tears streamed down his face.
"I thought I lost you!"
"How am I still alive?"
"I-I don't know... Cherrywhisker... She... She told me that we would probably lose you in a few days but you're awake... And alive."
"Oh..." She stammered lamely.
"I must wake her immediately!"
"Wait how long have I been out?"
"Three days."
"Have you slept?"
"I couldn't knowing there was at least a small chance of you opening your eyes."
"Sleep. I'll get up and tell her."
Flamefur tried to stand but she felt pain shoot up all of her limbs.
"No, stay here. I'll be right back!"
Bluefire came back only heart beats later with Cherrywhisker in the lead.
"You're alive! Thank Star Clan!" Cherrywhisker collapsed at Flamefur's side and nuzzled her happily.
*** One Moon Later ***
Flamefur padded through the forest with a mouse clamped between her jaws and she thought about the battle. Bluefire ended up killing the calico and we were victorious. Too bad Flamefur hadn't been there to see the Dark Forest Cats cower in fear and retreat!
Bluefire had become Bluestar and Flamefur was appointed as deputy.
As Flamefur entered the camp Bluestar greeted her with affectionate licks. They shared a meal together and then Flamefur assigned patrols.
"I love you." Bluestar said as they sat on a tree stump together and watched their Clan move around the camp.
"I love you, too.
***
Flamefur was in the medicine cat den pacing while impatiently waiting for her sister. Her sister suddenly entered the den and was surprised to see Flamefur.
"What's up?"
"Not much, I just don't feel well. I'm unbelievable tired and I have a stomach ache!"
"Chill out and sit down."
Flamefur sat down and watched her sister paw at her stomach.
"Um... How's this supposed to help?"
Cherrywhisker paused then looked up at Flamefur and smiled.
"I think you're going to have kits!"
"What? Who'll send out patrols? And organize hunting parties! And-"
"Calm down! It's fine. I'm sure Bluestar would be please to take over your duties for a little while so that you can have his kits."
"How'd you know they were his?"
She smiled "You two love birds have been inseparable."
"Oh." Flamefur's skin burned under her pelt. She had been with him a lot lately. But they were Leader and Deputy. What could you expect?
Then she thought of how happy her mate would be to hear the news. She smiled and thanked Cherrywhisker then found Bluestar.
"Hey, got time to go on a walk with me?"
"Of course!"
Flamefur took him into the forest then paused in a clearing. She was already exhausted.
"What's going on? Are you okay? Should we get Cherrywhisker?"
"Everything is perfect. Because..." Flamefur turned to look at him, "I'm expecting our kits!"
