Yea. Both of them lol)
"Ok," Zoe said and began padding away slowly, checking the air for more of those prey scents.
"I'll try my best," Julianna said with a giggle.

That's cool )) Wolf quickly found and caught two squirrels; one of them hadn't seen him coming, the other he had to chase halfway up a tree before he caught it. Slightly winded from his pursuit up the trunk of a pine tree, he buried his two kills. Thorne smiled and playfully flicked her shoulder with his tail. He lifted his gaze towards the den, his smile fading slightly. "Should we go and see if they're okay?" He asked.

I had a plot idea with them for a while, thinking maybe they all got separated or something but then the split happened)
Zoe managed to catch another mouse but otherwise wasn't having very much luck. she continued walking, keeping to a straight line so she could find her way back.
Julianna hesitated before nodding and stepping just inside the den.

Wolf returned as well, with his two squirrels and a sparrow. "Hey," he greeted as he padded up to her. "Any luck?"
Thorne let her go in first, then followed. It was rather crowded with him in there now, seeing as he was almost as big as Mojlnir. "Hey Mojlnir," he said quietly. He looked down at Stormfire, and saw that her eyes were closed, and her mate was sobbing into her fur. The Tom's eyes widened in horror and his heart froze in his chest, assuming the worst.

"A mouse," Zoe said. She tried to feel proud that she managed to catch something and forget about the fact that she only caught one thing.
Mojlnir looked up at Thorne. "Hey.." he murmured. He sat up and blinked his tears away. "She fell asleep," he said quickly, noticing hte look of horror on his friends' face.

"Good job," Wolf said, smiling at her. "Are you ready to head back?"
Thorne instantly looked relieved, sighing softly. "Do you think she'll be okay?" He asked quietly, glancing down at the three kits at the queen's belly and fearing that they would have to grow up without their mother.

"Uh, sure," Zoe said with a shrug. She unearthed her two catches and nodded to him.
"I.. I don't know. I think so but I don't.. I don't want to.. hope.." Mojlinir mewed slowly, trying to pick the best words to use. Julianna leaned down and looked at the kits. 'Well, they seem healthy at least," she commented softly, "and precious. Poor dears,"

"The best way to get better is to practice," Wolf said as he carried his kills and headed back towards the alley. "The park is usually a good place to hunt, there are plenty of squirrels and birds there."
"Stormfire's a fighter," Thorne murmured, saying what he'd already said to Julianna. He seemed like he was assuring himself more than anyone else. His gaze fell upon the kits as well. "They're beautiful," he said softly. "Have you named them yet?"

"I might have to check it out sometime. Maybe next time you go I can tag along?" Zoe asked shyly.
Mojlnir smiled a little as he looked at his kits. "We named these two. Ember and Angel. the other two haven't been named. I wanted her to have a reason to wake up," he said

Wolf nodded. "Sure, I'd like to show it to you," he meowed. "We'll just have to watch out for twolegs and dogs."
"Beautiful names," Thorne said, sitting on the opposite side of Stormfire, facing Mojlnir. His whiskers twitched, and he looked ready to say something, but changed what he was going to say to something different. "Do you think being born so early will harm them? More than we can tell?" He asked, eying the little she-kit with a twisted paw.

"Ok," Zoe said with a rare smile and continued walking beside him.
"I don't know. Jules? Do you know anything? Or mom?" Mojlnir asked looking at the shecats.
"Well," Pandora mewed, "They may struggle to breathe for a while which could lead into difficulty breathing later on in life. They'll likely always be smaller than they should be for their age but that hasn't stopped anyone before. They might get sick more easily and be sick for longer than most cats with the same illness. There are a few other complications that are so rare, they aren't even worth mentioning."

"Other cats might ask you to go hunting with them," Wolf told her as they entered the alley. "If they do, you should go; it's often you'll have to hunt with others, seeing as you're a hunter now."
"But other than that, they'll be okay?" Thorne asked, relieved. "Let's hope for the best, then," he whispered. He looked up at Pandora. "If... when Stormfire wakes up, what's going to happen to her? How long until she's up and moving again?"
(Are there four kits now, or still just three?)

I don't know. Hawk hasn't been by to accept or decline the offer to rp one)
"Oh. um..can't I just go with you?" Zoe asked quietly.
"It'll be a while before she'll be able to move a lot," pandora said. "She'll be weak and sore for quite sometime. she'll know when she's ready to move, I'm sure."

"I don't see why not," Wolf said. "But you'll probably have to explain to others why you won't hunt with them."
Thorne's ears flattened. That seemed like a lot to have to deal with. "Mojlnir, if you'd like to be left alone with her," he said softly. "We can step outside again if you'd like."

HAwk! Do you want a kit?)
"ok," Zoe said with a shy nod. "Um.. whenevr you go out, I'll gladly join you,"
"Do what you want," Mjolnir said with a shrug

"I'll let you know," Wolf promised. "It was nice to meet you, Zoe."
Thorne glanced down at Stormfire. He felt like Mojlnir needed to be alone with her at the moment. He bent down and licked the she-cat's cheek, scared that this would be the last time he saw his friend alive. He placed his tail briefly on Mojlnir's shoulder and left the den.
(Want to skip to when she wakes up?)

"I'll see you around, then," he said, flicking her shoulder with his tail.
Stormfire didn't open her eyes until late into the night. And when she did open them, she remained still; she was struggling to remember what had happened and why she was in pain. Soon the memories came back to her and she shifted, wincing in pain, to look down at the kits at her belly.

Mojlnir was asleep when Stormfire woke. He'd tried so hard to stay awake but couldn't help himself after a while. He stirred when she stirred but didn't wake.
Ember was mewling quietly and tried to squirm closer to her mothers' belly. Her twisted paw made it hard to move and she ended up turning a circle.

Stormfire's attention was drawn to Ember as she mewed. Despite the extreme discomfort and pain it caused her, she leaned in and brought the kit safely to her, giving the tiny she-lit a loving lick before resting her head back down, her eyes watering from the pain. She could tell Mojlnir was asleep beside her, and chose not to disturb him, knowing he must be exhausted.

Ember nuzzled against her mothers' belly, hungry. She mewed again and searched for food.

Stormfire curled her tail weakly around all her kits and brought them closer to her to eat, managing a weak purr. She rested her head against Mojlnir's chest as she watched the kits. If she had died during her kitting, it would have been completely worth it to her.

Mjolnir finally stirred and woke as Stormfire leaned her head against him. His eyes brightened in disbelief and relief and he purred. "stormfire! You're awake! How are you feeling sweetheart?"

"Terrible," Stormfire said quietly. "But better than before." She wrapped her tail tighter around the kits. "Still feel like my insides have turned to mush." She decided not to tell him how much pain she was still in, not wanting to make him stress or worry.

"I'm glad," Mjolnir mewed, "I was so worried about you. Pandora says you'll be sore for quite some timeand shouldn't move,"

"Well, she was right," Stormfire said with a small groan. She lifted her head slightly and licked his cheek lovingly. "Now you can be comforted to know that I'm not going anywhere for a long time."

"I'm so glad," Mjolnir purred and nuzzled her gently. "I don't know what I would do if I lost you,"

"You wouldn't last a day without me," Stormfire purred, smiling weakly. Angel let out a small mew, pressing herself against her mother's belly.
