Warriors: Second Strike: Book 4: Embers

Chapter 30

[Silverstar's POV]

I watched as Doveflame came back into the camp. I just merely nodded to her a good job. If she was still alive and the rest of us where alive, Tinyclaw must have lived. I just wondered how much longer the Dark Forest will wait for the attack. It couldn't be long. I looked over and spotted Moonflash talking to Blossomsoul and Thawpuddle. We were growing and more kits were on the way. The two apprentices we had looked rather friendly with each other. Time could only tell if they were going to be mates and have more kits. I was hoping they would.

"Silverstar, do you want to hear about it?" Doveflame asked as she walked over to me as I was sitting in the shade. I nodded looking at her.

"Yes, how did it go? I'm sure it went well seeing you are still alive." I commented with a small smile to the female that I had grown up with.

"Yes, it went well. Witheredsoul and Maplesnow where there too. They helped me a lot and made sure Tinyclaw stayed awake. They are both taking the two kits to DepthClan now. There was a she cat named Acornkit and a tom named Silentkit." She explained flicking her tail as she sat next to me watching the rest of the clan.

"Hm, nice names. I can't wait to figure out how they will be as apprentices. I hope they don't follow her path. How much longer for Blossomsoul's kits?" I asked her while she was hear since we usually didn't get to talk too much with her always doing medicine cat stuff and me always doing leader stuff.

"A quarter of a moon. I just hope the attack comes before they do. It will be harder to protect them. I don't want them to get their first look on the world and see blood or see nothing at all because they have died." The medicine cat said as she looked over at the nursery where the three she cats were talking.

"I do too. I don't want my son to be upset if they don't live. He would be so heart broken. How are the other clans?" I asked her remembering that they had gotten back from the medicine cat gathering last night.

"They are all good. Bearstar just made some apprentices warriors. They also have a queen now. One of Skycloud's kits are interested in being a medicine cat so that's always good. Creamspots has offered to train him if no one else wants to." She told me before looking up at me.

"That's good. I heard Flamefur has died." I said quietly remembering how protective I used to be of her.

"Yes, sadly. She died giving birth to two kits. They are named Spokenkit and Nightkit after the two she cats that took care of her and acted like her mother even if they weren't related to her." Doveflame said before looking at the sky. Only time would tell now.
