Just jump in.
Gingerheart said nothing as she sat and did vigil standing guard of the WindClan camp entrance. She stared up at the sky and looked up at the stars that were starting to disappear as the night turned to day.

Yawning,Cotton flopped out of the scraggly bush he called shelter."I'm so hungry!"He wailed as the small poofy tom stood up and stretched his muscles.He scented the air and only picked up the scent of air that cut through you and stung so bad your eyes watered.
Suddenly his ears perked up as he picked up the scent of cat.Following it as best he could he eventually saw a cat sitting alone at what looked like an entrance.He puffed up his white fur,trying and failing to look intimidating."Do you have food?"He asked.

Gingerheart rolled her eyes at the tom cat failed attempt to scare her as she stood up. Gingerheart was a bit large for a WindClan cat but she made up for it in speed. She looked up and saw that she could finally speak. "Get lost rogue," Gingerheart said with a growl and some sleepiness in her voice.

"What's a rogue?"Cotton asked,starring up at the she cat with interest."I'm not a rogue,I'm just lost."

Petalfall lay in the nursery by herself, napping softly, her swollen belly laying by her side. Suddenly though she woke up with a hiss of pain, shifting in the moss nest before another wave of pain washed over her. "IS anyone there? Help!" She called out.

"A rogue is what you are," GingerHeart said in a growl before she heard PetalFall's meows for help. "Fox dung she is kitting now out of all times." She mumbled under her breath with a growl. "Hold on PetalFall I'm getting WillowBrush now." GingerHeart called before she looked back at the tom cat. "Get lost," she snarled before she went into the entrance to wake WillowBrush up.

Cotton started laughing,laughing so hard he didn't even notice his brother,a larger brown tom,coming up beside him.
"Come on Cotton,cats around here don't care about starving cats separated from their families."The brown tom licked his brother's head.
"But Branch,"Wail Cotton,"mother's probably dead and I'm hungry!"And with that he slipped in through the camp's entrance,hopping that the queen's pain would take any attention from him.

GingerHeart was getting WillowBrush the WindClan medicine cat up and helping her carry the herbs she needs for PetalFall's kitting. While WillowBrush was helping PetalFall Gingerheart was yawning and padding over to a comfortable spot to sleep.

Petalfall let out a pained growl as she shifted more, trying her hardest to find some position that would dull the pain at least a little bit. "Where's your father when I need him?!"

"Cursing his kits bad timing."Crowsong replied as he slipped into the den with a yawn."I brought you a stick."He said as he dragged it in.

"You knew it would happen any day now love." Petalfall growled out, though her eyes showed her relief for the tom being there. "Thanks for coming." She clenched her jaw now as another wave of pain washed over her.

"None of this would have happen if you had come sleep in my den when you were getting close." WillowBrush retorted obviously not happy with being woken up so early. "Be prepared to bite down when the first kit comes." She added. Meanwhile GingerHeart smelled the scent of the tom from earlier and growled as she stomped over to where he was.

"No other queens have had to stay in the medicine cats den. I'm just fine in here." She retorted and pawed the stick Crowsong had brought closer to her.

Cotton looked up at the she cat with amusement and indignation in his eyes."I'm hungry,tired,bored,and lost.I'm not leaving without one of those rabbits."He growled,still not taking the complete size differentiation into mind.
"It still wasn't a smart idea."Crowsong put in calmly.

"How is it not smart? I'm perfectly healthy and nothing has gone wrong throughout the expectancy so there's no reason for me to have needed to go to the medicine cats den. Now please, just help me get through this pain! This is terrifying." She tried to calm down as another wave of pain hit her. This was her first litter and she had been unprepared for the amount of pain that came with this.

Crowsong picked up the stick and held it over Petalfall."Take it when you're ready."He mumbled around it.

"Thank you." She leaned up and nuzzled his chest as best she could before laying back down and readying herself as another wave of pain hit her.

"Let's just return to the task at paw." WillowBrush said with a sigh.
"Listen pipsqueak I have been up all night last night guarding the camp and the prey pile. To say I am not cranky would be an understatement. So unless you don't want me to shred you and use your fur as lining for my nest then I suggest that you get out of our camp!" Gingerheart said in a cold growl and snarl as well as puffing her fur all the way out making her much bigger than the tom cat as well as making it quite obvious that she was being serious when her claws came out.

A growl from behind Cotton made him duck as his brother jumped out from what seemed like nowhere."Branch!"He exclaimed.
Branch jumped at the she cat."Listen punk.Just because we're 8 moons old that doesn't give you the right to bully us."He growled as he started pummeling the she cat's stomach.

Petalfall nodded silently as her pains continued.
Stingstep heard the commotion and looked around, spotting Gingerheart and two loners. The deputy stood and moved toward them, clearing his throat before pulling one of the loners off of Gingerheart, being bigger than them and stronger and so easily doing so. "Hello, Gingerheart, who is this and why is he in the camp. Especially at a time like this." At his words a pained yowl came from the nursery.

"Well StingStep the younger one came asking for food." GingerHeart explained before she stood up and used her tail to knock Branch off. "Also don't go picking fights with cats older then you." She added looking over at Branch before she arched her back and stretched and yawned making it obvious she was ready for bed.

Darkfeather poked his head outside the warrior's den at all the commotion. He saw the two strange toms near the fresh-kill pile and watched as one of them tried to attack Gingerheart. He forced his way out of the den in a hurry, a growl rumbling in his throat. "What is going on here?" he snapped, tail and spine bristling in anger. The large black pelted tom was more than annoyed to have been woken up, but now there were intruders in camp. What a morning! He relaxed a bit as Stingstep came over, ready to handle the situation.
Frostpaw lingered at the entrance to the nursery. She had been newly named the medicine cat apprentice a few moons ago and was nervous. This was her first birth after all. The pale gray tabby she-cat ducked hear head, trying to figure out what she should be doing. Her eyes lingered on Petalfall, feeling useless as her clan-mate wailed in pain. She knew she should be doing something to help but it's like her paws were stuck in honey.
(may I jump in?)

"He attacked one of our warriors. I was just removing him from her." He then set down Branch before turning to the two toms. "Now, if you would calm down and come with me, I will listen to what you have to say and see if there is anything we can do for you. We are not ones to turn away young cats, especially those who look so... starved." He nodded to Gingerheart. "Go ahead and get some rest. You've been on watch and deserve it. I'll take it from here." He then led the two toms to a secluded corner of the camp.

"I was protecting my brother."Branch explained as soon as they were in the corner."That cat had no reason to attack someone so young as him,let alone as small!"

She nodded her head before she padded into the warrior's den and made herself a nest near the back and curled up and immediately fell asleep.
(Yeah you can jump in.)

"Now now. In this clan we have to protect our camp, our clanmates, and ourselves. Gingerheart is a fine warrior who tries her best for the clan. With the starting of Petalfall's kitting everyone is on edge." He then looked between them. "Now tell me, what made you think stealing prey wa a good idea? Why are you so thin?"

"Because our mother never got around to teaching us how to hunt and you have so much food!"Cotton squeaked before getting smacked in the back of the head by Branch.
"And our flock left without us."Branch added reluctantly.

"You mean you've been abandoned? You're barely older than a kit though." He sighed before looking around. "Stay here." He stood and went to the fresh-kill pile, picking up two hares and taking them back to the toms. "Eat. After that I'll take you to our leader."
