The next few kits where easier. There were only three more kits that Muddle had to give birth to. Shadow felt like the queen was about to faint at any time. She had sixteen kits so far. Pebble was already helping some of the others that needed milk with her own. She knew that the three shecats would share the nineteen kits as long as all of them survived and Shadow really wanted them all to survive.
"Three more Muddle. I'm sure we can do this. Don't give up on me now. Three more and we can all rest." Shadow said encouragingly as she saw the exhausted female giving another push.
Shadow got ready to catch the next kit as it tumbled out. She bit the sac and handed the kit to the two toms. She noticed that there were no more females for the kit to nurse from.
"Move the one that has had the most milk away and let this one have some. Do the same with these next two." She said before focusing on the next two kits as they were fighting on who to go next. Shadow grabbed them both and bit the sac before giving them to the toms.
"Am I done?" Muddle asked in an exhausted whisper as she turned her head to look at the dark grey female. Shadow nodded as she took the other bit of seaweed that Brown had gotten for her and ate it quickly.
Her mentor was right, that was disgusting but she ate it anyways for the last three kits that were passed her way. She ended up with the first three kits to be born since they had been moved away for the last three to have some milk as well. She licked the kits' heads. They looked the strongest and she knew that if she could do anything, she would make sure they all survived.
"Do you need anything? All of you did great. Do you want some prey or anything else? Don't be afraid to ask us." Night said looking between the three nursing females. Shadow and Pebble both shook their head meanwhile Muddle nodded her head for some prey.
"We will need to decide names for all of them sooner or later. This is going to be fun." Shadow said exasperated as she sighed looking at her new family. She just wished Mud was here to see all of this.
He might still be alive. They did say that he hasn't been found yet. They just found lots of his blood. Sunwish's voice called to her in her head. Shadow thought for a moment. It could mean that he was still alive but she doubted it.
But he could have died of blood lost. Even if he got away, he could have gotten infected or if he found the clans, they couldn't replace all that blood he lost. Just give it up Sunwish. You can see it all. Is he dead or alive?
Unknown.
----------------------
I don't know yet. I might kill him, I might not. You may just need to gain my favor and he could live. Let's say, get this book over 150 views and he can live. That seems doable.
