featherclan

chapter 3

leafpool shrieked in pain as a painful wave passed down her body, crowfeather his blue eyes round with worry and anxiousness nudged the moss ball closer. "c'mon push leafpool you can do it! look at our beautiful she-kit you've already brought to our clan." he whispered. with a great effort leafpool gazed at the small black she-kit, just like your father...she thought as another spasm hit her and a wave of darkness covered her vision. "leafpool....leafpool open your eyes" whispered a familiar voice, opening her eyes she saw a silver sleek she cat with a feathery tail. "feathertail!" leafpool gasped as she saw she was not in the small cave but in silverpelt! "am....i dead?" she asked the silver she-cat "yes," feathertail meowed, leafpool noticed a hint of sadness in her tone as a dark grey tom padded out from under a stary bush his blue eyes solemn. "leafpool,feathertail," he greeted them "i couldn't help but over hear your conversation." he meowed looking at feathertail "crowfeather as been through to mush to lose a second mate, and i would gladly help feathertail once more." he meowed moving closer to leafpool "i will let you go back to crowfeather but your clan name will be feather clan, we will not be abke to give your leader crowfeather nine lives i doubt you will even need that yet...with my life here you will return to featherclan." he meowed and leafpools mouth drooped "wait! stonefur are you sure?"  feathertail asked and stonefur nodded confidently "of course! plus thunder had a theory cats who leave starclan get reborn." he meowed and feathertail lashed her tail "that just a theory!" but stonefur had already toched his muzzle to her head and a zap of life spread through leafpool and she was sent spiraling back into the cave den. crowfeather viciously licking a golden tom and setting him by her side. "leaafpool!" he gasped purring wildly and drowning  her in fur as he rubbed his face to hers. "i can't believe your alive! i though you died..." he whimpered and leafpool purred loudly unable to speak her joy before a small pang hit her and crowfeather placed a light grey tabby at her belly. leafpool gazed at all the kits purring wildly. this is what starclan wanted her to give up? three perfect kits a mate and a clan of her own? as if! crowfeather interrupted her thoughts "can this one be named lionkit?" he asked gently nudging the golden kit who had a thick fir forming around its neck. "its perfect." leafpool purred and she looked at the black kit, the first to be born "this is ravenkit." she meowed licking the black she-kits head as it let out a small mew. crowfeather touched the light tabby tom "and this is jaykit" he meowed and leafpool nodded and lapped at the wet moss ball before laying her head down and curling around her kits.

         "don't worry fleek your more then welcome to keep your name."  crowfeather was meowing sympathetically  just in the clearing "great!" came a younger voice which sounded  like pushed enthusiasm.  "there are four more members as i said, i'll take you to might them if you like." crowfeather meowed and there was and excited mummer  from fleek. instantly sitting up from her nest and plucking the moss from her fur, she called her kits closer. "hush!" she chided as puzzled and excited whispers came from them. they where only a moon old and yet already a nuance. crowfeather dipped his head to leafpool as he padded in. fleek  studied them "what are there names?" he asked tipping his dark ginger head to one side his blue eyes shimmering with curiosity. lionkit puffed out his chest his thick neck fur spiking up "my name is lionkit, this is my mother leafpool." he meowed and jaykit shoved him away his jay blue eyes sparkling with triumph and he mocked him puffing out his tiny chest "my name is jaykit." he meowed and leafpool could see fleek was cheered up by the kits play. ravenkit calmly rose her head her green eyes sparkling with interest as she looked at fleek "my name is ravenkit, my brothers lionkit an jaykit have introduced themselves, now who are you?" she meowed her small voice cool leafpool couldn't help but feel proud, she will defiantly follow in her fathers paw prints. she thought and fleek held back a mew of surprise seeing such a young cat speak that way "well, my names fleek... me and my mother where kitty pets untill our house folk left us." he meowed and jaykit looked straight at fleek leaping off of lionkit "where are they? i don't smell them." he mewed. leafpool gazed at jaykit, why say smell instead of see? maybe he's just trying to show off his scenting skills. she thought. fleek flinched and crowfeather moved closer to him mewing encouragement. "w-we where just in a ally when a dog attacked an-and we thought it was just a mouse-brained dog that follows there owners every where but, when we tried to out run it it grabbed my mother and tore her to shreds in a instant-" he paused eyes wide as if he was seeing the whole thing all over again. crowfeather nudged him and he continued "we reached the end of a ally the wall top way above our heads, my father haze told me to climb on his shoulders and get up the ledge as the dog drew slowly closer...." he meowed and leafpool could see he was visibly shaking  and jaykit seemed incredibly stiff as though he could see the dog right in front of him, and lionkit flexed his muscles as though he would leap at any dog that came near him. "when i reached the top i turned to hull my father up but i was to late...haze was hissing furiously and the dog had his throat locked in its jaws..."  fleek shuddered "the last thing i heard was a loud crack as i can away towards this forest." fleek meowed and leafpool dipped her head her heart cracking for the young tom "i'm sorry for your loss.." she she whispered.
