(Warrior Cats)SmokeTrail's fire

Chapter 4- Love Is Stronger Than I Am.

When smoketrail woke up she saw that no one was around her, should she feel bad? Did Goldeneyes hate her now? Apparently not. When she yelped his name, he came running.

"Yes, sweetheart?"he asked frantically.

Smoketrail nuzzled him and stared into his shocked amber eyes

"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry for everything that i did to you, I don't know what I was thinking falling for him before, but you're my true love."

He laughed. "What's so funny?"smoketrail asked irritably.

In response he pinned her down like a playful apprentice.

Smoketrail felt his warm belly against hers, and heard the soft purr the rumbled in his chest. They were soulmates. They will be forever.

She pulled away from Goldeneyes which startled him "what's wrong?"he asked

"Well the thing is...I'm..,"she trailed off as Goldeneyes sat in front of her "what?"

"I'm expecting...."she finished making sure not to make eye contact with him.

"Huh?"goldeneyes looked confused for a bit then suddenly jumped to his paws "great starclan, are you expecting my kits!?"he meowed in astonishment.

Smoketrail's nodded, once again playfully tackled by her mate as he played with her like a pair of kits would .

They both purred almost in unison.

--

For smoketrail, some of the next few weeks was just a blurr, she felt how much he truly loved her even after what he had done to him two moons ago.

Suddenly she felt something. A sharp pain that shot through her belly. She whimpered in pain.

Goldeneyes got to his paws and rushed to get the medicine cat.

Smoketrail tried to run to the medicine den but couldn't make it far and stopped.

"What's wrong?"asked Sakurabloom.

"I-"she was cut off by another shoot of pain, and crouched instinctively, making some of the pain ebb off but not for long.

Goldeneyes and sakurabloom carried her to the medicine den, since the nursery was too much of a bad memory.

The two worked quickly as smoketrail yowled and moaned in her extreme pain and let out a screech as her Belly spasmed and she almost passed out fro, exaustion.

Pain shot through her body as a small kit appeared on the moss near her.

Goldeneyes stood by her and purred comfort to her.

-----

Smoketrail didn't feel quite right, and she felt sick, though she smiled at the sight of four kits at her belly.

Sakurabloom was studying one and pulled the small kit from her mother. She sniffed and inspected the kit for a moment. She shook her head and put the small kit in smoketrail's paws "she's going to pass soon."she explained and stepped away respectively.

Smoketrail and goldeneyes whispered and nudged the kit and purred, hoping the it would survive. Smoketrail was first to notice the heartbeat pause.

She let out a pained yowl as did Goldeneyes.

"No...my baby.,."smoketrail sobbed "my poor baby..."

No one else, not even Goldeneyes had any words for her. This had happened on her very first time.

Two of the kits seemed to be alert and purr, though one seemed confused.

Smoketrail was worried about this but managed to hardly shrug it off, licking her remaining healthy kits.

---

Smoketrail was finally allowed to move around more after a while, with her kits more active and able to eat solids.

as soon as she walked back into the nursery- "hi momma!" came an exited mew. She smiled at her kits.

"What you been doing momma?"asked Emberkit, a white kit with blue eyes and ginger speckles all over her pelt.

"Hi momma.."meowed splitkit, who had her face split right down the middle, ginger on her Right, black on her left, and she had smoketrail's mismatched eyes.

"Hello little ones."smoketrail purred and finally moved to the corner where hopekit always was, the poor thing was weak and could hardly  eat. Smoketrail had no idea what to do.

sakurabloom had tried to feed her mushed up meat. she ate it, but threw it right back up. She said: if she makes it just a little longer, she'll survive. And it had been three-and-a-half moons since her birth.

Hopefully she would make it to four, they had named her hopekit, because she was so fragile, and staying alive was her only hope.

"Do you think she'll ever get better?"smoketrail asked, sakurabloom, glancing at her worriedly.

"She seems to be holding up. You know, smoketrail...you've got a real fighter here."sakurabloom replied, with a smile.

Smoketrail was about  to reply when a loud yowl pierced the air.

They both ran to the leader's den where flashstar was panicking"what's wrong?"sakurabloom asked calmly.

"My kits...t-they're missing...I can't find them anywhere...." Flashstar answered, trembling like a frightened kit.

Smoketrail gasped at the same time as the medicine cat "Oh no....."sakurabloom meowed.

Flashstar nodded almost unable to speak "patchkit, quietkit, and Angelkit. all three."

Sakurabloom nodded "where did you see them last?"

"They were asleep with my other daughter, wavepaw...."

Smoketrail's eyes widened"oh my starclan, flashstar.....she isn't there....all of the apprentices were asleep when I last checked, but I didn't see her...oh starclan...."

Flashstar let out a shriek "my baby's are gone! Please send warriors to find them! I need them back! I can't go on without them!"she growled.

Smoketrail gave a swift nod before bursting out the den screaming"all cats old enough to catch their own pray, please report to the mossrock for an important clan meeting!" Even though she knew it wasn't her place to do this, it was the first thing that came to mind.

Cats rushed out to the clearing and surrounded smoketrail, not too close though.

"flashstar's kits have gone missing, the young three and the older one. A group of cats including myself will be leaving to search for them. After the territory, we search windclan."
