After ANOTHER Hunting Patrol~

[atrb=border,0,true][cs=7][bg=black] Cat: Brighteye Notes: So Sorry! Getting sick. Words: 383 Brighteye didn't hear what Silvertongue had to say to Snowpatch. She'd been steps ahead of the two she-cats, and hadn't been paying attention to the two. No, she was staring up, watching Twilightstar as she readied herself to talk to the clan. As the rest of the clan waited for her to speak, Snowpatch came to sit next to her, her fur barely brushing against her own. Brighteye glanced at Snowpatch, but she wasn't looking at her. Then, Twilightstar was speaking, and she couldn't pay attention to Snowpatch. Twilightstar told them that Blackpaw had died against her pelt. She also spoke of going to Shadowclan, and what had come to pass there. She paused for a moment, letting what she had said sink into the rest of them. It was always a sad time when an apprentice died, but it had been Blackkit, who had caused so much strife among the clans. She felt some sorrow towards Twilightstar, and minute sadness for the death of the cat, but it would be gone before the next moonrise. Then, it was time for ceremonies. Twilightstar started with the apprenticing of her own kit, Santuarykit - now Sanctuarypaw. She announced that she, Brighteye, would mentor Sanctuarypaw. She rose to her paws and stepped forward towards the cat. They touched noses, accepting each other. As she was taking a seat near her apprentice, and near Snowpatch, Twilightstar spoke once more. The she-cat named Angie walked forward when bid, her belly so large it almost dragged on the ground. Her name was changed, no longer being Angie, but Leafsong. Then, it was Lilliths' turn to be called forward, after Leafsong was accepted into the clan by her new name. Lillith, who was to be known as Silvertongue - for Brighteye had been there when she requested her name - took a few steps forward. Then, she paused, looking down. She glanced around after a moment, fearful, and the scent of blood reached her. Lillith collapsed then, and yowled to Twilightstar. Leafsong rushed to her side and called for the Medicine Cat, while her kits hid behind Snowpatch, watching the two cats. Brighteye watched with wide eyes, her tail against Santuarypaw's shoulders, keeping her where she was. There wasn't anything they could do.

Twilightstar jumped down and started yowling orders. "Stay away, all of you! Now, Goldenmoon is not here, and I'm not sure where Silentpaw has gotten off to. If you have a knowledge of herbs, step forward!" She lept towards Lillith, known as Silvertongu to her, and started to murmur confortingly to the queen. Then, Leafsong stepped forward, her orange dappled coat shining against the weather.

She rushed forward, and checked to make sure the kits were coming fine. The first one was already being pushed out. "Come on now, Lillith, the first kit is already coming. Now, just continue pushing and you should be done on not time." She prodded the birthing queen's belly, and started to push, to feel how many kits there were. "About two or three, plus the one that's already coming..." she murmured to herself.

[atrb=border,0,true][cs=7][bg=#de1919] Kit - Silvertongue and Silentpaw Words - 360 words Notes - Painful pain is extremely painful ;; Silentpaw hung back. "I... I'm sorry Twilightstar... I'd help... But the kits and possibly the mother would die... I've got the disease I'm sorry!" He cried, running out of the camp. Silvertongue lay on the floor in agony. She clenched her eyes shut, pushing as hard as she could. She remembered back to when herself and Leafsong were just kits, and their mother died before their very eyes, as the owners dog had turned rabid and killed her. They had only been a few moons old, and found it hard to cope. Silvertongue was determined to stay alive for her kits, and she screamed out in frustration, the first kit, a red she-kit. She moved almost immeadiatly to show she was alive and kicking, and she started mewling. Silvertongue managed a pained smile. "Rosekit..." She smiled, pushing again. Another small ginger tabby, still alive and kicking, was out next. "Poppy... Kit..." Silverotngue said, closing her eyes and laying her head on the floor. Then, two kits at the oppisite ends of the scale - blacn and white - appeared. Gladepaw took the kits over to a bunch of apprentices where they licked them furiously. Gladepaw saw Silvertongues struggles. 'Oh Starclan... Let Silvertongue live! What has she done to deserve to die?!' She almost cried out. Silvertongue looked at her two newest kits. "Hidekit..." She said, ear pointing to the black one at Gladepaw's feet. "And Daisykit." She said, pointing to the white one. And finally, with one last push, and a loud cry, the last kit, a small silver tabby was out. Silvertongue almost cried out in relief. She, and her kits, were alive. "Flowerkit..." She sighed, flopping her head on the floor, panting heavily. The kits were safe. She was glad of that. Leafsong cried out in relief herself, nuzzling her sister. [Long birth post is long]
