Moonlights path

14- kits

Every day they waited in the old den for the snow to melt and every day nothing happend more snow cane every night as did dreams of Earth clan and Sparkheart, making them both miss thier clan deeply. A moon passed, then a second. Moonlight's belly became so swollen that she could no longer hunt the mice around the den. She was confined to the bed by Addertail, who hunted and made her comfortable, making the black she cat exaughsted and sleep deeply. One night, hours before the dawn of the third moon, labour pain kept both she cats awake. As dawn broke, the mewling of kits could be heard among the winter bird calls. A large litter of five kits, lay feeding aginst and exaughsted Moonlight. Both she cats slept untill sun high before hunting. Another moon passed and the kits began to walk and open their eyes. The eldest Firekit, a dark tabby she cat, asked question after question to her mother and Addertail "Where's our father?" "Back at camp." "Why arnt we at camp?" "The snow is too deep to travel." "I wish it wasnt." Her brothers Greykit, a small grey fluff ball of energy, and Ravenkit, a sleek equal match to his brother, wished to go into the snow everyday to play. Only Owlkit, a calm and wise beyond her years silver she cat, and Goldenkit, A shy tom named after his grandfather, took no notice to the snow. Instead watching Addertail hunt and play with thier siblings. Moonlight wondered how long her kits would be confined to the old den, when one day the snow melted enough to safely travel. Leading her kits outside, She and Adderfang took a big breath of freash air in happiness. "Kits." Moonlight purred "Its time to go home."
