It been a very warm leaf bare morning. The leafs hadn't stared to fall yet but could see the slight tingles of orangey red colour on the edge of every leaf of the surrounding the Thunder clan camp. Spearkit and her adopted sister Patchykit were sleeping peacefully beside their mother Shimmeringheart, as the sun rose slowly over the trees,as the birds sung Spearkits father swallowwing was out on a patrol with Lavendertail, Amberheart and fallstar. All were the best hunters of Thunderclan of the time.
Shimmeringheart woke from the sound of a bird sending of its morning calls, loudly. "Birds" Shimmeringheart mutated under her breath.
"What was that." Spearkit asked out of curiosity.she was obviously awake now.
"Nothing lovely" Shimmeringheart replied, Spearkit nodded, looking at Patchykit and then stard at the moving clouds in the sky. "Mummy the clouds are moving" Spearkit squealed excitedly.
Very soon after that Patchykit awoke. "Why are we up so early" Patchykit said as she rolled over onto her back exposing her white stomach and stretching her paws.
"Go back to sleep if you want, we all accidentally woke up early this morning" Shimmeringheart said
"No thanks" said Patchykit as she pawed at a butterfly who had flown in to the nursery. Spearkit looked up at her mother and smiled broadly. Her mother looked at the trees in return. "Where's papa?" Spearkit asked
"I don't know" said Shimmeringheart flattered her flattering her ears back . Spearkit soon lunged herself up and went over to Patchykit to star pawing the butterfly,
Sssrrreeecchh
"What was that mummy?" Spearkit asked through the awful sound, not worry about the butterfly, leaving the bud for Patchykit.
"That would be a crow..." But before Shimmeringheart could finish, there was the sound of thundering
paws on the dusty ground. A warrior named Springgrass bounded into the nursery yowling "Shimmeringheart we need you and your kits now" he said urgently and out of breath.
Shimmeringheart looked like she was going to ask why, but the urgency in the Warriors voice convinced her that it was going to be a good enough reason. "Ummm" Shimmeringheart said as she stood looking around at the nursery walls. "Spearkit you come with me, Patchykit you go with Springgrass, okay?" Shimmeringheart said with an urgent tone. Patchykit nodded and walked over to the warrior and let him pick her up in his mouth.
"Ow gentle mouse brain" complained Patchykit as he bit a little to hard for patchy kits liking.
"Language Patchykit" Shimmeringheart said. Spearkit looked around, confused questions racing through her head.
"Spearkit come on!" Her mother yowled. Spearkit then hesitantly padded over to her mother, letting her mother pick her up with her mouth. He then bursted quickly out of the nursery and into the camp. Warrior who were just starting to wake looked at them very confused as they bounded quickly past.
Shimmeringheart had no trouble following the young warrior as she was a great hunter, but as a queen now her warrior duties were dropped for a little while. Springgrass bounded very quickly and the ground seemed to only be a blur to the new kits, who hadn't seen this amount of speed and movement in their lives. Spearkit watched in awe of the passing world.
Springgrass soon stared slowing down, not from exhaustion but from the though that he knew that he was close to his destination. Shimmeringheart slowed to his pace and soon into a quick walk. He padded urgently to a clearing where a ginger brown tom cat lay on the ground struggling for every breath. The cats who went on the patrol with him, we're all standing around him and some were bent down licking his slash on the back of his neck and on his chest. The wound on his chest was fatally deep, but it hadn't gotten him yet. Wh had a thing that made him want to keep living and that thing was, he wanted is last memory to be of his mate and kit.
Shimmeringheart dropped Spearkit in shock and sprinted over to the cat and instantly stared to licking him and talking to him. Patchykit was put down safely next to her adopted sister as Springgrass stringed over to the cat. Spearkit had no idea who was laying down and neither did Patchykit, but as soon they got over there Spearkit instantly recognised him. "Papa" Spearkit squealed.
"What happened?"Shimmeringheart asked having trouble hiding her grief in her eyes.
"A random Shadowclan cat came... and ... attack...ed me ... I was just protecting... the others" he struggled. The sound of his croaky dry voice made Shimmeringheart drop to the floor beside him in grief.
"Oh why you?" She said quietly. "Why Starclan!" She yowled. She lifted her paws and stuffed into the soil with anger. Spearkit just watched in horror of her mother's anger and her father dying.
"Spearclaw.. Live... to your fullest... and Shimmeringheart... I .. Will always... love ..you ....both" those were Swallowwing's last word before he joined Starclan. Suddenly all the warriors around his body erupted with mourning yowls, that spread all around the lake. Suddenly the old out of date medicine cat, Ellosecho bounded into the clearing slowly. "Who's hurt?" He said in a sorta heroic way. Shimmeringheart then got up slowly and turned around quickly, slamming her paw into the side of his face, claws unsheathed. The blow was so powerful, he fell to the ground unconscious and a bloody scratch on the side of his face. "Old rage" Shimmeringheart growled lowly to herself.
Spearclaw looked at mother super stunned for all the bad word, that had just left her mouth. Spearclaw trotted over to her grieving mother. "Mum a-" spearmint stared
"Shut up spearkit!" She yowled, Shimmeringheart padded a little away, turning her head sharply. "What is the name of the Shadowclan cat that killed him?" She commanded strongly.
"Forestwhisper" said Fallstar, his voice chocked up with grief, Shimmeringheart bowed her head in respect and went off to find him, she pounded into the bush and you could yet see her after that.
"What know?" Patchykit said with A sad voice. Fallstar looked at Patchykit and then said,
"Lavendertail and I will carry the body back to camp, for the elders to burry and, Amberheart will stay here and Watch Ellosecho until he wakes up" all the warrior nodded and did as their leader commanded.
"What about Patchykit and I?" Spearkit squeaked at her leader.
"You to can came back with Lavendertail and I and you'll wait in the nursery until your mother returns" he said. Lavendertail and Fallstar grabbed the lifeless body of Swallowwing, and lavendtail littered the body and stared to carry it. Spearkit followed with her tail dropping and her ears flattened back. Patchykit just followed slowly with her tail half down. She licked spearkit's ear in hope of cheering her up, but all Patchykit got in return was a sad look from spearkit, telling her no matter what she did she would not cheer her up, and that made patchykit's tail truly droop.
