  Badgerpaw listened as Featherstorm reported to Littlewing her sunhigh patrol has caught fresh fox scent in the territory. Baypaw shuddered next to her as Featherstorm told Littlewing the scent belonged to many foxes.
  "You don't think they'll find ThunderClan camp, right?" Baypaw asked. He still felt that he should call it ThunderClan, instead of 'our' or 'my' Clan.
  "They found it near WindClan border so I doubt they will," Badgerpaw meowed, but in her mind she was on edge.
  Badgerpaw looked as Willowflight hurriedly guided Birchfur to the nursery. She bounded after them and entered the den in time to here Willowflight speak.
  "This will likely be your last litter, and it sounds like a big one," she purred. "Perhaps six."
  Badgerpaw purred at Birchfur. She wondered how many litters she had had. Badgerpaw raked through her mind to one of her first sights.
  Birchfur stood next to Lighteye. "They're beautiful!" Birchfur purred.
  "I hope this will be the first of many litters, like you had!" Lighteye meowed.
  "I very much do hope you get more litters as well, my daughter," Birchfur purred.
  Birchfur was her grandma! Badgerpaw hadn't realized until now.
  "Oh, Badgerpaw!" Birchfur meowed. "Come in, come in!"
  Badgerpaw entered and sat next to her.
  "How many litters will you have after this?" Badgerpaw asked.
  "Well," Birchfur thought for a moment, "this will be my tenth."
  "What litter was my mom from?" Badgerpaw asked.
  "She was in my seventh," Birchfur replied.
  Badgerpaw smiled as Birchfur asked her if she wanted to hear a story about her mother as a kit. She said yes, and Birchfur started the story.

  Badgerpaw entered camp after a successful hunt with Sapstar, Featherstorm, and Baypaw. She dropped her prey in the pile and walked to the den. She reached the entrance and sat next to Bearpaw.
  "So, how was your training?" Badgerpaw asked their seemingly daily question.
  "Great! I learned more fighting moves," Bearpaw answered. "You?"
  "I went on a hunting patrol with Featherstorm, Baypaw, and, Sapstar," Badgerpaw replied.
  "You know, I think Baypaw likes you," Bearpaw purred in amusement.
  "W-what?" Badgerpaw's blushed a bit. "Why do you think that?"
  "He always tries to do things with you, he always looks at you with a passionate glow in his eyes," Bearpaw explained.
  Badgerpaw was speechless. She looked at Baypaw, his eyes met hers.
  "Perhaps," Badgerpaw replied.

  It had been seven moons since Birchfur had been moved to the nursery and Badgerpaw looked at the sun, a little past sunhigh. She looked across the camp and a glint of black caught her eyes. It disappeared quickly and Badgerpaw shrugged it off. A few moment later a snarl and a pained yowl sounded Badgerpaw's head snapped to the sound as she caught one of the warriors fighting a fox. She looked around and saw two foxes sneaking into the nursery as a pained shriek sounded in it. She ran over to it, dodging all battle until she entered the nursery. She heard Willowflight's hiss first thing.
  "BADGERPAW! Help, Birchfur is having her kits!" Willowflight meowed.
  Badgerpaw sped forward and lunges at one of the foxes. Her claws raked its back and it growled in pain. She dodged to the side as the jaws of the beast came towards it. Another jaw caught her shoulder and she yowled. She felt dirt and a pain as she hit the wall. She got up, wincing in pain. As she shoulder gave a violent shiver and almost faltered Badgerpaw yowled to herself, 'NOT NOW! WE HAVE TO HELP WILLOWFLIGHT AND BIRCHFUR!' Somehow her talk had worked and her shoulder steadied, though still burned like fire. She leapt back at the foxes and clawed one down the side. She heard Willowflight's growl mixed with Birchfur's pained yowl. This willed her in and she dodged swiftly as the fox reached for her. She leapt and landed in the red-orange beast's head. She dug her claw in and thought to herself. The answer came to her, but she knew it would probably kill her. She leapt off the head and ran forward, leaping up at the throat of the fox. She grabbed in with her teeth and the fox yowled in pain. She unsheathed her claws and swung herself until she had a good grip. She then raked her back paws down the belly of the fox. It yowled and fell in its side, not moving. The other fox Badgerpaw watched exit the den. She ran over to Willowflight.
  "Willowflight?" She mewed.
  "Badgerpaw, I must tell you something," Willowflight's voice was hoarse. "I-I had a prophecy, the night you were born, a badger told me this:
  'The badger of the night shall bring peace in the corrupted world. Beware, a shadow lurks in minds, and only the badger of night can save you. When river, wind, and shadow go for thunder, the badger shall light the spark.' That badger is YOU."
  "I- HOW?" Badgerpaw asked.
  "I cannot answer this, and know that I shall watch over you from StarClan; they are gathering around to welcome me," Willowflight mewed.
  "No, Willowflight, don't die!" Badgerpaw mewed.
  Birchfur's wail snapped Badgerpaw to the issue. She looked at the kits she had, five.
  "Ok, ok, if Willowflight is correct, you have one more to go. Just breath, and push," Badgerpaw mewed.
  Birchfur obeyed and the last kit slipped on the floor. Badgerpaw looked to se did Willowflight had had any poppy seeds and found one. She gave it to Birchfur.
  "Eat, it'll help you rest," Badgerpaw mewed.
  "Is everyone ok?" Fernpaw's voice mewed from behind her.
  "Birchfur has had her kits, I have a fox Bite in my shoulder, but Willowflight-" Badgerpaw stopped, "She's dead."
  Fernpaw stepped over to her and gave a cry of despair. Then quickly recovered. "Come," she instructed. Badgerpaw followed her to her den. She laid her down and out some marigold and cobwebs in the bite.

  Badgerpaw slept soundly as the moon shown. An invisible force picked Badgerpaw up and ran swiftly but gently towards sloping hills.
