Sagefoot took her time leading him to the entrance of the tunnel, making sure to keep him out of the way of the sharp rocks and roots of the moor. "Just to your left Harewhisker there is an entrance to the tunnels. Why didn't you tell me you were having trouble seeing out here? I would have never made you come this far." she asked with a frown.

Harewhisker felt where the ground began to slope and he slipped toward the tunnel. He paused at the mouth of it to look back at Sagefoot. "I did tell you. I told you, you were better off picking someone else for a hunt on the moor-lands, but you didn't listen." Without another word, he disappeared into the tunnel.
Dashclaw flicked his ear, feeling rather awkward in the tension. "Hey...don't take what he said to heart. He's...He's...stubborn."

Sagefoot sighed as she watched Harewhisker slip into the darkness, she would have to bring this up with Swiftstar eventually, especially if he continued to push mixed patrols. Harewhisker could get seriously injured next time. "Alright, let's get this rabbit back to camp. It will be great for the kits and queens."

Dashclaw nodded to the deputy and offered a kind smile. "You were pretty quick in catching it. Anyone could've mistook you as your siblings out here."

Sagefoot padded back towards the rabbit, "I appreciate the compliment, it was quite fun to give it a try, it's very different than hunting in the tunnels. I don't think I'll ever be as fast as you or my siblings though. Silverspirit and I used to race a lot when we were younger. I don't think I ever won." she replied with a laugh.

Dashclaw chuckled. "That reminds me of when Harewhisker and I were apprentices. We used to race too. He was adamant that as a tunneler he was just as fast as me except underground. So, we raced a few times. Me above ground. Him below it. We decided our destination beforepaw and," Dashclaw shook his head, " he actually beat me a couple times.

Sagefoot grinned, "We know our tunnels very well Dashclaw, you'd be surprised how quick a seasoned tunneler can get somewhere. Juniperpaw and Larkpaw are finally starting to remember where each tunnel goes." Pride shone in her eyes for her kits. She then grabbed a hold of the scruff of the rabbit and began dragging it towards camp.

“It’ll be fine.” Siltpath told himself as he helped Brownleaf carefully move the kits in the direction of camp. “Swiftstar can’t say no to defenseless kits. There’s still a chance you could fib a little, it… yeah… probably wouldn’t work.” The young Warrior sighed, shaking his nerves away. He looked at Copperkit, Jaykit and Clovekit, his worries melting away as he thought of how they still had a chance, with Windclan. Palegaze shrugged, unable to speak with the kit in his jaws. As they padded along the moor, he spotted Sagefoot and Dashclaw heading in the direction of camp as well. He paused, setting the kit he held down and shielded it's tiny body from the wind with his own. "Uh-oh. Looks like we might have company," he meowed warily. |

“Oh, rabbit dung!” Siltpath gasped, voice coming to a whisper as he quickly put one of the kits down. He glanced back at Brownleaf with a hint of panic, though he knew trying to hide from Sagefoot would be a bad idea. Sooner or later, the Clan would need to know.

Sagefoot whipped around as she scented something strange, she dropped the rabbit and scented the air again, ears twitching curiously as she recognized the scents of her clanmates as well. "Palegaze? Siltpath? Is that you?" she called over the moor. Glancing at Dashclaw curiously.

Palegaze cringed before side-eyeing Siltpath and tilted his ears toward Brownleaf behind them. "Here goes...literally everything," he mumbled before raising his chin to call across the moor. "Sagefoot, it's us!" he yowled over the wind that was beginning to really pick up, a smattering of rain coming with it. They needed to get these kits to a nursing queen, and quickly.

VIXENCLAW gonna @ just in case!) Siltpath bristled a bit, but quickly took in a breath and nodded. The kits were already shivering, their mews weakening from the cold. He felt his heart ache at Clovekit’s weak squeaks. ”Sagefoot! We’re here, we need some help! It… it’s hard to explain but! We have kits that need help!”

Dashclaw twitched his whiskers in amusement to the deputy's words. He remembered struggling with all the different tunnels when he was a tunneler. He opened his mouth to comment when he heard Siltpath over the wind. His eyes grew wide at the sight of the kits. StarClan, how were their kits out here?! Dashclaw ran over to the other warrior. "I'll take one. Let's get them to camp."

Sagefoot hurried over to the patrol beside Dashclaw, eyes sweeping over the kits. She nodded, her heart aching for how cold and sickly the little kits looked. "Kits are beyond the code. Doesn't matter where they came from. Come on let's get them to Eclipsesky and Dawnshadow."

Siltpath nodded quickly, though he was rather quiet as he glanced at Brownleaf again. He wanted the tom, the father of the kits, to be the one to explain on his own terms, yet he inwardly winced when Sagefoot and Dashclaw came to help, as he knew Clovekit looked exactly like her mother. Would they notice? Kits were always exceptions of the code… but would that be the case for kits of Windclan’s worst killer since the days of Adderclan?

Eclipsesky nodded in acknowledgement, allowing Thorndash to take the space near the entrance of the nursery. Eclipsesky padded closer to Ashsong again, but stayed silent to allow Dawnshadow to give Ashsong directions. "Not long now Ashsong." he mewed quietly, trying to encourage her through the pain. Here is the last post for you ice  ) |

Okie)
Ashsong gave a nod, preparing herself for the next contraction. She clenched the stick Thorndash had brought in her jaws as she felt the now family ripple of pain, letting out a low growl at it.

Eclipsesky placed his paw on her belly again, "Now Ashsong, push. Think of the kits, you can do this." he mewed soft but firm.

Ashsong pushed as Eclipsesky instructed, her claws digging into the moss of her nest. With a final push, the fist kit was born, a white and gray tom. Ashsong looked down at her kit, waiting to hear it’s first cry.

Eclipsesky leaned down to nip open the sac and lick his fur backwards. Once he was clean and wailing for his mother, Eclipsesky gently placed the little kit at Ashsong's belly. "A healthy tom." he announced with a smile.

Next one is Blazer’s.)
Ashsong purred when she heard her kits cry, happy that he was healthy. When she felt another contraction coming, she got ready to push again so that the second kit would be born.

Eclipsesky placed his paw back as he noticed Ashsong's face change again, "Alright, another push. Just like before."

Dashclaw stepped up to Siltpath to take one of the kits from them.

Ashsong gave another push, gritting her teeth. Once the second kit was born, she took a deep breath, starting to feel exhausted. Eclipsesky had said three right? That just meant one more then. Ashsong grasped the stick in her jaws again, looking at Eclipsesky for the go ahead.

The second kit was a shock of white, with just the tip of his tail showing the same color fur as his father. He gave a loud wail as soon as air hit his lungs, strong and healthy.
Thorndash felt his ears fall at each pained noise Ashsong gave, though he felt his heart soar as soon as Eclipsesky and Dawnshadow stated that the kits were healthy so far.

Eclipsesky thoroughly cleaned the second kit and placed him next to his brother. "Another healthy tom." Eclipsesky placed his paw back on her belly and pressed down firmly. "One more kit Ashsong and then you can rest. You're doing a great job."
