Prologue:
Deep into the forest of Maine, in a cold and snowy blizzard. Lived a small of group of cats called ChristmasClan. They lived among tall pine trees and everything they did was Christmas. The food they ate, which was reindeer, Turtledoves, French hens, swans, geese, fish, Chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, and mice. And to pass the time they sang Christmas carols, which they also taught the apprentices along with how to hunt.
The cats were singing Christmas carols, while Angelsing was having her second litter.
"When can we come in?" Rudolphpaw asked, with a sigh.
"Yeah, we have been waiting forever," Claricepaw added.
"Soon, she's on her last kit," Jesuslight answered.
"Finally." Saintheart sighed.
"Alright, Saintheart ya come in now." Naturesing meowed.
"Aww." Claricepaw moaned.
"You're next." Pepperminttree mewed.
"Ok." Rudolphpaw meowed.
"Alright, are ya ready?" Pepperminttree asked.
"Yes, I've ready hours ago."
"Well, she's waiting for ya." Jesuslight meowed. Saintheart purred, as he walked inside holly bush. And gasped we he saw three kits at her belly. "What are their names?"
"Well, I named two. The dark brown she-cat is Mainekit and the only tom is Nicholaskit."
"I love them and I thought of a name for the last one Santakit."
"That's perfect. "
"Hey, can I come in?"
"Yes, Ivylight come in."
"Thank's, wow! Three kits. Do they have names?"
"Yes, the tom is Nicholaskit and the two she-cats are Mainekit and Santakit."
"Those are great names." Before Angelsing could say anything, two little heads poked in. "
"Can we come in now?"
"Yes." Rudolphpaw and Claricepaw smiled and walked in.
"Meet, your new brother, and sisters. Nicholaskit, Mainekit and Santakit."
"Hi, we're Rudolphpaw and Claricepaw your big brother and sister." Angelsing purred, as she listened to last verse in the song. "Born is the king of Israel."
"One day our kits will the learn that. What Chris-" Before Angelsing could continue. she heard two loud yowls. 'That's Hollystar and Kiaraleaf!' Jesuslight gasped and ran towards them, When he got there, he saw Pepperminttree tapping her on the ground and staring at him. "What?" he asked. "What took a so long?" "Umm, Pepperminttree." "Not now Naturesing." "I got here as fast I could." "Hey, Pepperminttree." "I said not now, well ya didn't get here soon enough we could see they were pain seconds before they yowled." "Well, I was listening to Angelsing and Saintheart." "Pepperminttree!" "What, Naturesing." "We have a job to do." "Oh, right. Sorry, let's get to work." Naturesing smiled and walked toward Hollystar and Kiaraleaf, Jesuslight and Pepperminttree followed behind. After a while, more kits were born. Lionfreeze walked in and asked Kiaraleaf. "What are their names?" "The first one is Kionkit, and the second is Bungakit, the third is Fulikit, the fourth is Onokit, the fifth is Beshtekit, the sixth is Jasirikit, the seventh is Guardkit, the eighth is Roarkit, the ninth is Lionkit." "After me?" "Yes, Lionfreeze after you." ".Who are the rest?" "You can name them Lionfreeze." "Ok, how about Pridekit for the tenth, Landskit for eleventh, Liveskit for the twelveth, Rockkit for the thirteenth, Disneykit for the fifteenth, Princesskit for the sixteenth, Skykit for the seventeenth, Preciouskit for the eighteenth Stripdekit for then nineteenth Wildkit for the twentieth, Bunnykit for the 21, Lovekit, for the 22, Flashingkit for the 23, Lotuskit for the 24 and Arosekit for the last one?" "I love them, their perfect names for the last of them." Kiaraleaf purred. Meanwhile, Christheart was with Hollystar hearing their names. "So, the first one Turquoisekit, and second Sparklekit, the third is Nemokit, the fourth is Rainbowkit, the fifth is Wishkit, the sixth is Billykit, the seventh is Bonniekit, the eighth is Merlinkit, the ninth is Clefkit, the tenth is Hartannakit, the eleventh is Celtannakit, the twelveth is Adikit, the thirteenth is Sapphirakit, the fourteenth is Excaliburkit, the fifteenth is Rubellitekit, the sixteenth is Patcheskit, the seventeenth is Sherbetkit and the last one is Acicakit."I love them." Christheart purred. Ivylight walked toward the new moms and stared in awe. "Wow! The Angel spirits have blessed as with a lot of kits tonight. Who will all learn the true meaning of Christmas one day."
Chapter one.
Many stars had passed after the kits were born and they were getting bigger everyday. "Ha, ha. Where are ya Santakit?" Mainekit watched Kionkit look for Santakit and rolled her eyes. "Kionkit, you're not gonna find her. she's the best hider out of all us. Kionkit was about to say something when he heard a small mew. "Heads up!" Kionkit looked behind his shoulder and got hit by a small pebble. "Oww." "Oh, sorry Kionkit." "That's ok, Bungakit. It didn't hurt that bad. What are ya doing?" "Playing catch with Fulikit, what are ya doing?" "Playing hide and seek with Santakit." "Oh ok, I'll let ya get back to it." "Ok, see ya later Bungakit." "See ya!" Bungakit yowled over his shoulder as he ran off to find Fulikit, Kionkit smiled as he watched Bungakit go. Ok, now time to find Santakit wherever she is. Wait! I wonder if she's hiding in the snow. she's white and snow is white. humm, I wonder. "Ya, still looking for her?" Kionkit smiled, he knew who that was. He he remembered all kits and their voices. "Yes, Nicholaskit I am. But, I got idea where she could be hiding." "Humm, what's your idea Kionkit?" "That she could be hiding in the snow." "Smart thinking Kionkit. She's white the snow is white." "Exactly, Nicholaskit. So, let's get low on the ground and see who can find her the fastest." "You're on Kionkit. What's the prize?" "No, prize. It's just for fun." "Ok, sounds good." "Alright, on your mark, get set, go!" Nicholaskit smiled and got low on the ground. Kionkit did the same.
Chapter 2
Santakit smiled in her little snow pile. They'll never find me .
Meanwhile, Nicholaskit and Kionkit were sniffing and feeling the ground. "Anything yet?" Nicholaskit shook his head. "No, not yet Kionkit. I think we should split up." "Good idea Nicholaskit. I'll go this way and you go that way. We'll meet back here and I'll have Santakit with me." "No, I'll have Santakit with me." "Game on, Nicholaskit."
The sun was starting to set and it was getting darker. Kionkit and Nicholaskit sighed when they came back to their spot. "I looked everywhere but I didn't find her." "Same here Kionkit." "Well, we should get back to our moms." Kionkit mewed with a yawn. "Sounds good to me. But first, Santakit we give up!" Santakit crawled out of her snow pile. And walked over to them. When they saw her, a smile came to their face. "You're safe. Thank StarClan." Nicholaskit sighed "Yeah where were ya?" Kionkit asked. "I can't tell ya then it wouldn't be a secret hiding place." "True, but." "What's the but Kionkit?" "Janja and is friends could have found ya, remember the story? They were ones that killed Doryswim's mom. And your a kit easy prey for them." "It's just a story Kionkit, it's not true." "I believe it is Santakit." "And just because you believe it. I have to believe it." Kionkit and Nicholaskit nodded. "You too Nicholaskit?" "Yep, two against one. So we win!" Nicholaskit answered. "Fine, I'll be careful next time." "Good, now we better get back to the bush." Kionkit mewed.
Meanwhile, a dark gray almost black cayena. Which is a half cat and half hyena, watched the kits with a smile.
"Better listen to your brothers Santakit."
"Janja, when are we gonna eat them?"
"Well, not now Chungu. We gotta wait for the right time."
"And when will that be Janja?"
"Soon Cheezi."
"And, when is soon?" Chungu asked.
"Anah. Fur brain soon is tomorrow."
"Umm, why that late?" Cheezi asked.
"Because I'm the leader of this group and I say so. Got it fur brains?!"
Chungu and Cheezi nodded.
"Good, now let's get out of here," Janja said and started running back home. Cheezi and Chungu followed behind.
Meanwhile back at camp.
"Where were ya?" Angelsing and Kiaraleaf asked.
"Playing hide and seek." Kionkit answered.
"And Santakit was hard to find." Nicholaskit added.
"She won't tell us her hiding place." Kionkit mewed.
"It wouldn't be secret anymore."
"Santakit, Santakit, Santakit. Ya could have died. Don't remember the story of Tideheart's death? Doryswim's Findingshell's and Destinysparkle's mom." Angelsing said.
"Yeah, These two boys remind me about it. She was killed by a cayena, that is half cat and half hyena." Santakit signed.
"Yeah, let's hope they didn't see ya. Any of ya." Angelsing and Kairaleaf meowed together.
"I don't think they did." Kionkit mewed, with a yawn.
"Let's hope not and it's time for bed." The two moms meowed.
"Ok, night Kionkit."
"Night Santakit and Nicholaskit."
Meanwhile back with the cayenas.
"So, think I have an idea. About how we're gonna get kits."
"And eat them, right Janja?" Cheezi asked.
"Yes, fur brain."
Chungu looked at Janja and asked.
"So, what's your plan Janja?"
"Yeah, tell us your idea," Cheezi added.
"Take it easy guys."
Janja stepped in front of them and started to sing.
"You'll need a second to soak this, though, this is my best plan yet. About how these little kits won't have a clue. Without their mom in her nest, they'll be ours for the taking. You two will do the rest, swipe away, before they can say goodbye. Ha, ha. When the mom is out our way, the kits won't be safe. We can eat our little snack when the mom is out of our way. Out of our way. Oh, yeah. Out of our way. Oh, yeah. Then they'll be a kit for you and you and me. When the mom is out of our way. Will hide in bushes and wait for the right time, to strike and we'll have our little feast. Augh! Fur brains. When the mom is out of our way, the kits won't be safe. We can eat our little snack. When the mom is out our way. Out of our way. Oh, yeah. Out of our way. Oh, yeah, then they'll kit for you and you and me. When the mom is out our way. Whoa, Out of our way. Oh, yeah. Out of our way. Oh, yeah. Then they'll be a kit for you and you and me. When the mom is out of our way. One more time. Out of our way. Oh, yeah. Out of our way. Oh, yeah. Then they'll be a kit for you and you and me. When the mom is out our way, when the mom is out our way. When the mom is out our way! Ha, ha, ha! Do ya get it now?
"No, not really." They both answered.
Janja just sighed and shook his head.
"What?" They both asked.
"Nothing fur brains, just nothing."
The next morning, Janja, Cheezi and Chungu woke-up early. "Ya ready?" Janja asked.
Cheezi and Chungu nodded.
"Good let's go."
Meanwhile back at camp, Kairaleaf was telling Ivylight about the kits little adventure. When she was finished, Ivylight was speachless. After a while she finally said. "Wow! I'm so glad that Santakit wasn't hurt." "Or killed by the Cayenas." Kionkit added.
"Right that too, Santakit you were a gift by the Angels."
"Yeah, we all are." Kionkit added again.
"Yes, Kionkit you're right again."
"Wait, what do ya mean by that we are gifts from the Angels?"
"Well, Santakit there was just so many of ya that were born that night, we were just so blessed by them for giving us all of ya."
"I could have guessed that."
"Ya Know just about everything don't ya Kionkit?"
"Well Santakit I guess I do."
Meanwhile, Moonrainbow and Spirtespark were out on patrol. "See any Cayenas?" "No, Spirtespark. No sign of Janja and his friends." "Good, maybe he didn't see them after all."
'That's what you think' Janja thought, as he watched the patrol cats.
"So, when are we doing the plan?" Cheezi asked.
"When the mom cat leaves the nest fur brain."
"Oh, yeah that's right too."
"Shh, quiet fur brains the cats are talking."
"Yeah, that would be bad if they did Moonrainow."
"The leader would stop them if they did and trys's to take them."
"That's true Spirtespark, they would get in trouble not the kits."
"Did ya hear that? Hollystar is the moms." Cheezi gasped.
"Yeah, fur brain I heard them but if plan falls through we don't have to worry."
"Oh, yeah you're right Janja. Like always." Chungu said.
"That's why he's our leader."
Meanwhile Spirtespark's ears pricked and asked Moonrainow. "Do ya hear voices?"
"Yeah, I do it's coming from this bush over there."
"Let's go check it out."
Janja heard that and his eyes widened.
"What do we do now?" Cheezi and Chungu asked in a shaky voice.
"Stuff it fur brains and hope that they don't find us."
Cheezi and Chungu nodded and didn't say another word.
The pawsteps got closer and then stopped.
"I don't hear them anymore, do you?" Moonrainow asked.
"No, I don't." Spirtespark answered.
"Humm, maybe we were just hearing things." Moonrainow meowed.
"Yeah, let's go." Spirtespark replied, as she started walking away. Moonrainow right behind her.
Janja peaked out of the bush he and his friends were hiding in and sighed. "They're gone."
"Whew, that was close." Cheezi sighed.
"Yeah, to close." Chungu added.
"Well, fur brains if ya just keep your mouths shut we wouldn't have had that problem." Janja growled, quietly.
"Sorry." Cheezi and Chungu said.
"That's ok, just keep them shut now."
Cheezi and Chungu nodded and kept quiet.
Meanwhile back at camp, Spirtespark and Moonrainow were talking to Ivylight about the patrol. When they were finished, Ivylight responded.
"So, ya heard them but ya didn't see them?"
"That right Ivylight." Moonrainow meowed.
"Humm, well maybe their not out there. Thanks for checking anyway."
"You're welcome." Spirtespark said.
"I'll tell the moms that there's nothing to worry about."Ivylight sighed, as she walked toward the mom's den.
Meanwhile back with the cayenas.
"Janja look, look at all the kits!" Cheezi gasped.
"Yeah, fur brain I see them all. And there's no way that one mom can have all of those kits."
"Not even two moms." Chungu added.
"Yeah, so their must be at least three moms."
"So, we have to wait until three moms leave the nest Janja?"
"Yes, fur brain. And there goes one now."
"Now, we just have to wait for two more to leave."
"Yes, fur brain and look there goes another."
"And there goes the last one."
"Now, it's time to strike. Right Janja?"
"Right, fur brain now let's go."
They licked their lips as they headed toward the kits.
“Alright now be very quiet, we’ll take them by surprise.”
“Ok, Janja.”
Janja just sighed and slowly led them toward the kits.
“Almost, Almost Now!”
Back at the knitting place, the kits were playing and having fun
when Kionkit lifted his head and started sniffing.
“What’s wrong?”
Santakit asked.
“I smell something.”
“What is it?”
“I don’t know Lionkit.”
“I smell something too.” Roarkit mewed.
“But what is it?”
Mainekit asked looking around.
“Us.”
The kits looked behind them and gasped.
“Surprise!”
Janja shook his head and sighed.
“Fur brains!”
“What?”
“This isn’t a surprise party now come on we’re wasting precious
time.”
“Right, should we just kill them now?”
“No, not right here we’ll do it when we get back home.”
“Oh, ok.”
“How do we get them to follow us?”
As Janja was thinking Guardkit asked.
“What’s gonna happen to us?”
Kionkit looked at his sister and answered.
“Nothing, when I say run we run.”
“Ok.”
“Run!”
Kionkit yowled and ran as fast as he could, the others right behind
him.
Chungu saw them and meowed.
“Hey, where’s our meal going?”
“Nowhere, come on after them!”
Chapter 3
“Kionkit! They’re right behind us!”
Wishkit meowed.
“And catching up.” Rainbowkit whimpered.
“What do we do?” Nicholaskit asked.
“Just keep running and pick up the pace!”
Kionkit answered with a yowl.
“Ok.”
Pridekit meowed and picked up her pace the others did the same.
“Janja they picked up their pace.”
“We’ll never catch them now.”
“Maybe not, but I got an idea.”
“What would that be Janja?”
“We’ll lead them back to our land.”
“How?”
“Like this, Kionkit.”
“Yes.”
“I know a safe place where you and the others can go.”
“Really, where?”
“Just listen carefully.”
“Ok.”
“Now, just make a left turn right here.”
“Ok, ya heard the Angel cats we go this way.”
“He thinks that it’s the Angel cats leading him, this plan is
working.”
“Ok, where now?”
“Now take this right turn.”
“Ok.”
“Then after that take three more left turn then three more right
turns and you’re there.”
“Ok. Come on ya heard the Angel cats.”
Kionkit mewed, as he started to make his turns.
Janja just watched them, with a smile.
“The fur brained kit, he’s really believing all of this.”
When the kits got there Kionkit asked.
“Ok, we’re here now.”
“Yes, ya are now stay there I’ll come and tell you guys what to do next.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Guys we're gonna meet an actual Angel cat!”
“I wonder which one?”
“I don’t know Santakit, but this is so exciting!”
“Oh, sorry to disappoint ya.”
Janja meowed, when he got to them.
Kionkit looked up and gasped.
“You’re not an Angel cat.”
“Nope.”
“Where’s the Angel cat who was leading us here?”
“It was not an Angel cat who was leading here, it was me.”
“What! Then where are we?!”
“Our land.”
“Oh great Angel cats! What have I done?!”
Chapter 4
Back in camp the moms were returning back to their nest.
“That was a good break.”
Angelsing meowed.
“Yeah, it was.” Karialeaf sighed.
“Something is wrong.”
“What’s wrong Hollystar?”
“Doesn’t sound a little quiet to ya?”
“Now that you mention it, yeah it does.”
Angelsing replied.
“Kionkit!”
No answer.
“Wishkit!”
No answer.
“Santakit!”
No answer.
“Maybe they’re sleeping.”
Karialeaf meowed.
“Maybe, let’s take a look around.”
Angelsing meowed, as she started to look around the bush.
The other moms did the same.
“Anything?”
“No.”
“Nope.”
“Oh great Angel cats! Where are they?”
“Hollystar!”
“What is it Karialeaf?”
“I smell cayenas!”
“What! No!”
“Hold on a sec, I found some paw-prints!”
“Where?”
“Over there and they’re small enough to kit paw-prints.”
Hollystar walked over to the paw-prints and saw that Angelsing
was right.
“You’re right and it looks like they stayed together in a group.”
“Oh no, ummm Hollystar I just found more prints and they’re
cayenas.”
“They must have followed after them.”
“That’s my guess and there were at least three of them.”
“And I think I know who they are, follow me and help me get the
clan together “
“Why?”
“We’re all going to Janja’s land and battle for the kits.”
“Why the whole clan?”
“Because we’;re gonna need all the help we can get.”
“Oh ok then why don’t we split up it will make it a lot faster.”
“Wait a minute I just thought of a better idea.”
Before Karialeaf and Angelsing could ask what it is Hollystar ran
into the stable and jumped into the manger and cried out.
“All cats come here and hear what I have to say!”
One by one the the cats went the into the stable to hear what
Hollystar had to say.
As soon Reindeerwish entered Hollystar started.
“Christmasclan I have some bad news, our Angel kits have been
taken by Cayenas.”
Everyone gasped.
“It’s true, I am afraid.”
“We gotta go save them!”
Dovewhisper cried.
“Yes we do, now who’s ready to battle some cayenas?!”
“We are!”
The cats yowled.
“Good, now let’s go save some Angel kits.”
Hollystar jumped out of the manger and ran out of Camp. The
other cats right behind her.
“Will get our herbs ready!” Jesuslight yowled out.
“Ok!”
Hollystar yowled back.
Naturesing watched them go and sighed.
“I wonder how many of us will come back.”
Pepperminttree walked over to Natuesing and meowed.
“All don’t know, all of us I hope.”
“Same here Pepperminttree.”
Chapter 5
When the kit rescue patrol got outside they tasted the air.
"Cayena scent and it’s fresh." Mistpaw meowed.
"I smell it too and our Angel kits." Nemopaw replied.
"Same here and two sets of paw-prints, large and small." Lovepaw
said.
"Then let’s go, follow those paw-prints!" Hollystar yowled and
started to follow the trail of paw-prints the others right behind her.
"I hope they’re alright." Nemoscales sighed.
"Me too." Rainbowscales added.
"Don’t worry Kionkit will protect them."
"Kairaleaf he’s just a kit himself, how can he protect them?!" Lemonpaw asked, with a small retort.
"He’s not just a kit! He’s mine and Lionfreeze’s! Also my firstborn So I just know okay!"
"Okay, sorry Kairaleaf,"
"Guys quiet, we’re here," Hollystar said in a loud whisper.
Lemonpaw and Kairaleaf nodded and stayed completely quiet.
"There they are and looks like they’re talking, let’s listen to what they’re saying," Spottedpaw whispered.
"Yes, what have you done now kit?" Janja asked, with a laugh.
"What do we do now?" Santakit asked in a scared mew.
"I don’t know," Kionkit gulped.
"Ya don’t know?! You’re the one who got us into this mess!" Mainekit spat.
"I know but I thought it was an Angel cat leading us to safety not a cayena leading us to his land!"
"You really are just a fur brained kit," Janja laughed as he shook head.
"Yeah, and a dead one," Chungu meowed and licked his lips.
"Yeah, let’s eat!" Cheezi added.
"They’re right enough chit chat kit, time for dinner."
But before he could take the killing bite, Hollystar yowled.
"ChristmasClan attack!"
Kairaleaf was first to leap out and jumped on top of Janja.
"Run Angel kits!"
"You heard my mom guys run!" Kionkit yowled and started running the other kits followed.
You'll make a great leader one day Kionkit. Kairaleaf thought with a smile.
Janja wriggled under Kairaleaf’s weight and called out.
"Chungu and Cheezi after them!"
"We’re a little busy right now!" Chungu said, as ducked from a paw swipe that came Circlelife with her claws out.
"Sorry Janja he’s right." Cheezi added, who trying to shake of Candlespark who biting deep into his leg.
"Must I do everything myself?" Janja sighed and bit Kairaleaf's leg, Kairaleaf yowled in pain and loosened her grip. Janja smiled and wriggled out then went after the kits.
Kairaleaf got to her paws and went after him.
"Hold on Kairaleaf I'll cut him off!" a voice called out.
"Okay, Doryswim."
This is for you mom!
Doryswim ran like the wind and spat. "Stop right there Janja!"
Janja stopped in his tracks and turned around.
"Make me!" he growled.
Doryswim snarled and lifted her paw to give him death blow.
Janja gasped and ducked just in time. "You're Tideheart's kit aren't you?"
"Yes I am!"
"It's over Janja, you'll never get our angel kits!" Kairaleaf snapped when she reached them.
"Surrender Janja! There's too many of them!"
"Chungu's right we need to surrender!"
"Fine, you won this time but next time you won't be so lucky!"
"Hollystar it's all over! We won!" Doryswim meowed.
"Oh, thank the Angel cats, ChistmasClan let's go home."
Fantasnow let go Cheesi ran toward Hollystar the other cats right behind her.
"Hollystar did all the kits get out?" Rainbowscales asked.
Hollystar let a gasp. "I don't know."
"Yes, I made sure everyone made it out." A small voice called out.
"Kionkit, what are you still doing here?"
"I just about to leave Dovewhisper when I heard you guys asking about the kits."
"Okay, then let's go home."
"Sounds good to me, Findingshell, let's go home everyone." Hollystar meowed and everyone followed her back home.
"So, Kionkit where are the rest of you?"
"I told them to hide and wait for me Nemoscales."
Nemoscales was about reply when a small voice softly called out. "Kionkit we're over here."
"Okay, Adikit you guys can come out were headed home."
One by one the rest of the Angel kits came out and followed the rest of their clan-mates home.
"Here, they come." Lionfreeze meowed.
Hollystar purred when she saw them and walked into the stable. The others followed behind her when they were all inside she jumped into manger that was full of pine needles and started. "Our lord Jesus Christ, we celebrate these two learners. Who have been taught many Christmas songs including yours and ours, they have become great hunters, and now send out your angels to shine out their glow. And now you have become followers. With your new names. Clariceglow and Rudolphspark. That I shout to the heavens. Amen."
"Amen." The whole clan meowed.
Hollystar meowed, as she jumped out of the manger and the cats headed off to bed. All of them but Hollystar, who stayed behind to talk to Clariceglow and Rudolphspark.
"So, you two need to sit an eighteen-minute silent prayer. Think ya can do that before the kits are born?"
"Of course, we can Hollystar, and how did ya know?"
"Oh please. Ya think we didn't? Everyone could see what was going on between you and Rudolphspark."
"And, you're not mad?"
"No, of course not. There's no rule that says, brothers and sisters can't be mates. I'm very happy for you two."
"Thank's Hollystar."
"You're welcome, now I'll let ya be so you guys can sit your silent prayer." Hollystar meowed, as she walked out of the stable. When she was gone, Clariceglow and Rudolphspark turned around to face the manger. Then they got down on their knees, put their paws together, bowed down their heads and prayed.
Eighteen minutes went by quickly. They got up, walked out of the stable and headed off to bed. On the way, Clariceglow felt a sharp pain in her belly.
"Rudolphspark go get a Healer cat, their coming!"
"Now?!"
"Yes, now!"
"I'll get ya to the holly bush first. Then I will. I'll grab the first one I see."
"Ok, and hurry!"
"Their's only one way I can do that, pick you up and run."
"Ok, if it's the only way. Then do it."
But, before he could a yowl made him freeze. "Stop!"
"Naturesing, she ca-"
"She has no choice Rudolphspark, go get the manger from the stable."
"Ok, Naturesing." Rudolphspark meowed, as he raced into the stable and grabbed the manger. Then raced back to Naturesing. "Good, now help me get her in."
"Ok." Rudolphspark meowed, as he helped Naturesing get Clariceglow into manger. Just as the first kit was coming, after the first kit was born the rest of them came quickly. "Congrats, guys you have eight she-cats and one tom."
"What going on?" Clariceglow asked, licking her kits.
"Angelsing is having her last litter of kits!" Saintheart answered.
"Wow! ChristmasClan is getting a lot of kits tonight and me and Rudolphspark are big brother and sister again."
"Yes, and so is Nicholspaw, Mainepaw and Santapaw."
"Oh, yeah they are."
"Yeah, so dad can ya help me get Clariceglow to the holly bush?"
"Yes, of course I can." Saintheart answered, as he picked up one side of the manger and Rudolphspark picked up the other side and together they slowly walked toward the holly bush. On the way Clariceglow asked. " Do ya think we should name them now or when we get there?"
"Let's do it now, I'm thinking Joykit for the first one."
"I love it, and Christmaskit and Holidaykit for second and third."
"Perfect, and Candycanekit and Starkit for the fourth and the fifth."
"Those are perfect names for them. And Mangerkit and Adorekit for the sixth and seventh."
"I love them, and Pinekit for the last she-cat."
"That's perfect for her and let's name our only tom together."
"Ok, on three, one, two, three. Emmanuelkit."
"Those are amazing names guys and here we are." Saintheart meowed.
"Ok, let's put the manger down together."
"Sounds good Rudolphspark, on three. One, two, three." And together they placed the manger down in front of Angelsing, who already had her kits."
"Oh, mom. They're lovely, do they have names?"
"Yes, the only tom is Olafkit and five she-cats are Blueberrykit, Marshmallowkit, Littlekit, Sassykit and Izabellakit."
"Those are amazing names for them and we have named ours, mine and Clariceglow."
"Oh, congrats guys and what are their names?"
"The only tom is Emmanuelkit and she-cats are Joykit, Christmaskit, Holidaykit, Candycanekit, Starkit, Mangerkit, Adorekit and Pinekit."
"Those are amazing names for them too."
"Yes, they are Angelsing and wow! 15 kits were born tonight!"
"And we're big brother and sisters! And they are amazing names!"
"Yes, you are and thanks ."
"You're welcome."
"Well, we should leave them alone and get some sleep."
"Ok, Hollystar. good night."
"Good night!"
Hollystar, Rudolphspark and the learners left the bush, walk to their beds and fell fast asleep.
Santapaw fell asleep first and didn't know, she would have the most surprising dream of her life.
When Santapaw opened her eyes she was at the edge of solid frozen pond. She stepped back a little bit, so she wouldn't slip onto the ice. "Santapaw, it's ok." A voice called out.
"Who are ya?" Santapaw asked.
"Walk across the ice and I will tell ya." The voice answered.
"Walk across the ice? You're kidding right?"
"No."
"I can't, I'll slip and fall. I might die!"
"You'll be fine Santapaw, I promise. You'll walking across, a lot of frozen ponds on your quest."
"Quest? What quest?"
"Walk across the ice and tell ya about that too."
"Fine, I'll do it." Santapaw sighed, as she put one paw on the ice. Then slowly she put the rest on and started to walk across. She closed her eyes and said to herself. 'I can do it, I can do it' and before she knew it, she was across the frozen pond. She opened her eyes and sighed. 'I did it!'
"Good job Santapaw, I knew ya could do it. Now, my name Tideheart."
"I know ya now! You're Doryswim's, Findingshell's and Destinysparkle's mom!" Santapaw gasped.
"Yes, I am."
Deep into the forest of Maine, in a cold and snowy blizzard. Lived a small of group of cats called ChristmasClan. They lived among tall pine trees and everything they did was Christmas. The food they ate, which was reindeer, Turtledoves, French hens, swans, geese, fish, Chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, and mice. And to pass the time they sang Christmas carols, which they also taught the apprentices along with how to hunt.
The cats were singing Christmas carols, while Angelsing was having her second litter.
"When can we come in?" Rudolphpaw asked, with a sigh.
"Yeah, we have been waiting forever," Claricepaw added.
"Soon, she's on her last kit," Jesuslight answered.
"Finally." Saintheart sighed.
"Alright, Saintheart ya come in now." Naturesing meowed.
"Aww." Claricepaw moaned.
"You're next." Pepperminttree mewed.
"Ok." Rudolphpaw meowed.
"Alright, are ya ready?" Pepperminttree asked.
"Yes, I've ready hours ago."
"Well, she's waiting for ya." Jesuslight meowed. Saintheart purred, as he walked inside holly bush. And gasped we he saw three kits at her belly. "What are their names?"
"Well, I named two. The dark brown she-cat is Mainekit and the only tom is Nicholaskit."
"I love them and I thought of a name for the last one Santakit."
"That's perfect. "
"Hey, can I come in?"
"Yes, Ivylight come in."
"Thank's, wow! Three kits. Do they have names?"
"Yes, the tom is Nicholaskit and the two she-cats are Mainekit and Santakit."
"Those are great names." Before Angelsing could say anything, two little heads poked in. "
"Can we come in now?"
"Yes." Rudolphpaw and Claricepaw smiled and walked in.
"Meet, your new brother, and sisters. Nicholaskit, Mainekit and Santakit."
"Hi, we're Rudolphpaw and Claricepaw your big brother and sister." Angelsing purred, as she listened to last verse in the song. "Born is the king of Israel."
"One day our kits will the learn that. What Chris-" Before Angelsing could continue. she heard two loud yowls. 'That's Hollystar and Kiaraleaf!' Jesuslight gasped and ran towards them, When he got there, he saw Pepperminttree tapping her on the ground and staring at him. "What?" he asked. "What took a so long?" "Umm, Pepperminttree." "Not now Naturesing." "I got here as fast I could." "Hey, Pepperminttree." "I said not now, well ya didn't get here soon enough we could see they were pain seconds before they yowled." "Well, I was listening to Angelsing and Saintheart." "Pepperminttree!" "What, Naturesing." "We have a job to do." "Oh, right. Sorry, let's get to work." Naturesing smiled and walked toward Hollystar and Kiaraleaf, Jesuslight and Pepperminttree followed behind. After a while, more kits were born. Lionfreeze walked in and asked Kiaraleaf. "What are their names?" "The first one is Kionkit, and the second is Bungakit, the third is Fulikit, the fourth is Onokit, the fifth is Beshtekit, the sixth is Jasirikit, the seventh is Guardkit, the eighth is Roarkit, the ninth is Lionkit." "After me?" "Yes, Lionfreeze after you." ".Who are the rest?" "You can name them Lionfreeze." "Ok, how about Pridekit for the tenth, Landskit for eleventh, Liveskit for the twelveth, Rockkit for the thirteenth, Disneykit for the fifteenth, Princesskit for the sixteenth, Skykit for the seventeenth, Preciouskit for the eighteenth Stripdekit for then nineteenth Wildkit for the twentieth, Bunnykit for the 21, Lovekit, for the 22, Flashingkit for the 23, Lotuskit for the 24 and Arosekit for the last one?" "I love them, their perfect names for the last of them." Kiaraleaf purred. Meanwhile, Christheart was with Hollystar hearing their names. "So, the first one Turquoisekit, and second Sparklekit, the third is Nemokit, the fourth is Rainbowkit, the fifth is Wishkit, the sixth is Billykit, the seventh is Bonniekit, the eighth is Merlinkit, the ninth is Clefkit, the tenth is Hartannakit, the eleventh is Celtannakit, the twelveth is Adikit, the thirteenth is Sapphirakit, the fourteenth is Excaliburkit, the fifteenth is Rubellitekit, the sixteenth is Patcheskit, the seventeenth is Sherbetkit and the last one is Acicakit."I love them." Christheart purred. Ivylight walked toward the new moms and stared in awe. "Wow! The Angel spirits have blessed as with a lot of kits tonight. Who will all learn the true meaning of Christmas one day."
Chapter one.
Many stars had passed after the kits were born and they were getting bigger everyday. "Ha, ha. Where are ya Santakit?" Mainekit watched Kionkit look for Santakit and rolled her eyes. "Kionkit, you're not gonna find her. she's the best hider out of all us. Kionkit was about to say something when he heard a small mew. "Heads up!" Kionkit looked behind his shoulder and got hit by a small pebble. "Oww." "Oh, sorry Kionkit." "That's ok, Bungakit. It didn't hurt that bad. What are ya doing?" "Playing catch with Fulikit, what are ya doing?" "Playing hide and seek with Santakit." "Oh ok, I'll let ya get back to it." "Ok, see ya later Bungakit." "See ya!" Bungakit yowled over his shoulder as he ran off to find Fulikit, Kionkit smiled as he watched Bungakit go. Ok, now time to find Santakit wherever she is. Wait! I wonder if she's hiding in the snow. she's white and snow is white. humm, I wonder. "Ya, still looking for her?" Kionkit smiled, he knew who that was. He he remembered all kits and their voices. "Yes, Nicholaskit I am. But, I got idea where she could be hiding." "Humm, what's your idea Kionkit?" "That she could be hiding in the snow." "Smart thinking Kionkit. She's white the snow is white." "Exactly, Nicholaskit. So, let's get low on the ground and see who can find her the fastest." "You're on Kionkit. What's the prize?" "No, prize. It's just for fun." "Ok, sounds good." "Alright, on your mark, get set, go!" Nicholaskit smiled and got low on the ground. Kionkit did the same.
Chapter 2
Santakit smiled in her little snow pile. They'll never find me .
Meanwhile, Nicholaskit and Kionkit were sniffing and feeling the ground. "Anything yet?" Nicholaskit shook his head. "No, not yet Kionkit. I think we should split up." "Good idea Nicholaskit. I'll go this way and you go that way. We'll meet back here and I'll have Santakit with me." "No, I'll have Santakit with me." "Game on, Nicholaskit."
The sun was starting to set and it was getting darker. Kionkit and Nicholaskit sighed when they came back to their spot. "I looked everywhere but I didn't find her." "Same here Kionkit." "Well, we should get back to our moms." Kionkit mewed with a yawn. "Sounds good to me. But first, Santakit we give up!" Santakit crawled out of her snow pile. And walked over to them. When they saw her, a smile came to their face. "You're safe. Thank StarClan." Nicholaskit sighed "Yeah where were ya?" Kionkit asked. "I can't tell ya then it wouldn't be a secret hiding place." "True, but." "What's the but Kionkit?" "Janja and is friends could have found ya, remember the story? They were ones that killed Doryswim's mom. And your a kit easy prey for them." "It's just a story Kionkit, it's not true." "I believe it is Santakit." "And just because you believe it. I have to believe it." Kionkit and Nicholaskit nodded. "You too Nicholaskit?" "Yep, two against one. So we win!" Nicholaskit answered. "Fine, I'll be careful next time." "Good, now we better get back to the bush." Kionkit mewed.
Meanwhile, a dark gray almost black cayena. Which is a half cat and half hyena, watched the kits with a smile.
"Better listen to your brothers Santakit."
"Janja, when are we gonna eat them?"
"Well, not now Chungu. We gotta wait for the right time."
"And when will that be Janja?"
"Soon Cheezi."
"And, when is soon?" Chungu asked.
"Anah. Fur brain soon is tomorrow."
"Umm, why that late?" Cheezi asked.
"Because I'm the leader of this group and I say so. Got it fur brains?!"
Chungu and Cheezi nodded.
"Good, now let's get out of here," Janja said and started running back home. Cheezi and Chungu followed behind.
Meanwhile back at camp.
"Where were ya?" Angelsing and Kiaraleaf asked.
"Playing hide and seek." Kionkit answered.
"And Santakit was hard to find." Nicholaskit added.
"She won't tell us her hiding place." Kionkit mewed.
"It wouldn't be secret anymore."
"Santakit, Santakit, Santakit. Ya could have died. Don't remember the story of Tideheart's death? Doryswim's Findingshell's and Destinysparkle's mom." Angelsing said.
"Yeah, These two boys remind me about it. She was killed by a cayena, that is half cat and half hyena." Santakit signed.
"Yeah, let's hope they didn't see ya. Any of ya." Angelsing and Kairaleaf meowed together.
"I don't think they did." Kionkit mewed, with a yawn.
"Let's hope not and it's time for bed." The two moms meowed.
"Ok, night Kionkit."
"Night Santakit and Nicholaskit."
Meanwhile back with the cayenas.
"So, think I have an idea. About how we're gonna get kits."
"And eat them, right Janja?" Cheezi asked.
"Yes, fur brain."
Chungu looked at Janja and asked.
"So, what's your plan Janja?"
"Yeah, tell us your idea," Cheezi added.
"Take it easy guys."
Janja stepped in front of them and started to sing.
"You'll need a second to soak this, though, this is my best plan yet. About how these little kits won't have a clue. Without their mom in her nest, they'll be ours for the taking. You two will do the rest, swipe away, before they can say goodbye. Ha, ha. When the mom is out our way, the kits won't be safe. We can eat our little snack when the mom is out of our way. Out of our way. Oh, yeah. Out of our way. Oh, yeah. Then they'll be a kit for you and you and me. When the mom is out of our way. Will hide in bushes and wait for the right time, to strike and we'll have our little feast. Augh! Fur brains. When the mom is out of our way, the kits won't be safe. We can eat our little snack. When the mom is out our way. Out of our way. Oh, yeah. Out of our way. Oh, yeah, then they'll kit for you and you and me. When the mom is out our way. Whoa, Out of our way. Oh, yeah. Out of our way. Oh, yeah. Then they'll be a kit for you and you and me. When the mom is out of our way. One more time. Out of our way. Oh, yeah. Out of our way. Oh, yeah. Then they'll be a kit for you and you and me. When the mom is out our way, when the mom is out our way. When the mom is out our way! Ha, ha, ha! Do ya get it now?
"No, not really." They both answered.
Janja just sighed and shook his head.
"What?" They both asked.
"Nothing fur brains, just nothing."
The next morning, Janja, Cheezi and Chungu woke-up early. "Ya ready?" Janja asked.
Cheezi and Chungu nodded.
"Good let's go."
Meanwhile back at camp, Kairaleaf was telling Ivylight about the kits little adventure. When she was finished, Ivylight was speachless. After a while she finally said. "Wow! I'm so glad that Santakit wasn't hurt." "Or killed by the Cayenas." Kionkit added.
"Right that too, Santakit you were a gift by the Angels."
"Yeah, we all are." Kionkit added again.
"Yes, Kionkit you're right again."
"Wait, what do ya mean by that we are gifts from the Angels?"
"Well, Santakit there was just so many of ya that were born that night, we were just so blessed by them for giving us all of ya."
"I could have guessed that."
"Ya Know just about everything don't ya Kionkit?"
"Well Santakit I guess I do."
Meanwhile, Moonrainbow and Spirtespark were out on patrol. "See any Cayenas?" "No, Spirtespark. No sign of Janja and his friends." "Good, maybe he didn't see them after all."
'That's what you think' Janja thought, as he watched the patrol cats.
"So, when are we doing the plan?" Cheezi asked.
"When the mom cat leaves the nest fur brain."
"Oh, yeah that's right too."
"Shh, quiet fur brains the cats are talking."
"Yeah, that would be bad if they did Moonrainow."
"The leader would stop them if they did and trys's to take them."
"That's true Spirtespark, they would get in trouble not the kits."
"Did ya hear that? Hollystar is the moms." Cheezi gasped.
"Yeah, fur brain I heard them but if plan falls through we don't have to worry."
"Oh, yeah you're right Janja. Like always." Chungu said.
"That's why he's our leader."
Meanwhile Spirtespark's ears pricked and asked Moonrainow. "Do ya hear voices?"
"Yeah, I do it's coming from this bush over there."
"Let's go check it out."
Janja heard that and his eyes widened.
"What do we do now?" Cheezi and Chungu asked in a shaky voice.
"Stuff it fur brains and hope that they don't find us."
Cheezi and Chungu nodded and didn't say another word.
The pawsteps got closer and then stopped.
"I don't hear them anymore, do you?" Moonrainow asked.
"No, I don't." Spirtespark answered.
"Humm, maybe we were just hearing things." Moonrainow meowed.
"Yeah, let's go." Spirtespark replied, as she started walking away. Moonrainow right behind her.
Janja peaked out of the bush he and his friends were hiding in and sighed. "They're gone."
"Whew, that was close." Cheezi sighed.
"Yeah, to close." Chungu added.
"Well, fur brains if ya just keep your mouths shut we wouldn't have had that problem." Janja growled, quietly.
"Sorry." Cheezi and Chungu said.
"That's ok, just keep them shut now."
Cheezi and Chungu nodded and kept quiet.
Meanwhile back at camp, Spirtespark and Moonrainow were talking to Ivylight about the patrol. When they were finished, Ivylight responded.
"So, ya heard them but ya didn't see them?"
"That right Ivylight." Moonrainow meowed.
"Humm, well maybe their not out there. Thanks for checking anyway."
"You're welcome." Spirtespark said.
"I'll tell the moms that there's nothing to worry about."Ivylight sighed, as she walked toward the mom's den.
Meanwhile back with the cayenas.
"Janja look, look at all the kits!" Cheezi gasped.
"Yeah, fur brain I see them all. And there's no way that one mom can have all of those kits."
"Not even two moms." Chungu added.
"Yeah, so their must be at least three moms."
"So, we have to wait until three moms leave the nest Janja?"
"Yes, fur brain. And there goes one now."
"Now, we just have to wait for two more to leave."
"Yes, fur brain and look there goes another."
"And there goes the last one."
"Now, it's time to strike. Right Janja?"
"Right, fur brain now let's go."
They licked their lips as they headed toward the kits.
“Alright now be very quiet, we’ll take them by surprise.”
“Ok, Janja.”
Janja just sighed and slowly led them toward the kits.
“Almost, Almost Now!”
Back at the knitting place, the kits were playing and having fun
when Kionkit lifted his head and started sniffing.
“What’s wrong?”
Santakit asked.
“I smell something.”
“What is it?”
“I don’t know Lionkit.”
“I smell something too.” Roarkit mewed.
“But what is it?”
Mainekit asked looking around.
“Us.”
The kits looked behind them and gasped.
“Surprise!”
Janja shook his head and sighed.
“Fur brains!”
“What?”
“This isn’t a surprise party now come on we’re wasting precious
time.”
“Right, should we just kill them now?”
“No, not right here we’ll do it when we get back home.”
“Oh, ok.”
“How do we get them to follow us?”
As Janja was thinking Guardkit asked.
“What’s gonna happen to us?”
Kionkit looked at his sister and answered.
“Nothing, when I say run we run.”
“Ok.”
“Run!”
Kionkit yowled and ran as fast as he could, the others right behind
him.
Chungu saw them and meowed.
“Hey, where’s our meal going?”
“Nowhere, come on after them!”
Chapter 3
“Kionkit! They’re right behind us!”
Wishkit meowed.
“And catching up.” Rainbowkit whimpered.
“What do we do?” Nicholaskit asked.
“Just keep running and pick up the pace!”
Kionkit answered with a yowl.
“Ok.”
Pridekit meowed and picked up her pace the others did the same.
“Janja they picked up their pace.”
“We’ll never catch them now.”
“Maybe not, but I got an idea.”
“What would that be Janja?”
“We’ll lead them back to our land.”
“How?”
“Like this, Kionkit.”
“Yes.”
“I know a safe place where you and the others can go.”
“Really, where?”
“Just listen carefully.”
“Ok.”
“Now, just make a left turn right here.”
“Ok, ya heard the Angel cats we go this way.”
“He thinks that it’s the Angel cats leading him, this plan is
working.”
“Ok, where now?”
“Now take this right turn.”
“Ok.”
“Then after that take three more left turn then three more right
turns and you’re there.”
“Ok. Come on ya heard the Angel cats.”
Kionkit mewed, as he started to make his turns.
Janja just watched them, with a smile.
“The fur brained kit, he’s really believing all of this.”
When the kits got there Kionkit asked.
“Ok, we’re here now.”
“Yes, ya are now stay there I’ll come and tell you guys what to do next.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Guys we're gonna meet an actual Angel cat!”
“I wonder which one?”
“I don’t know Santakit, but this is so exciting!”
“Oh, sorry to disappoint ya.”
Janja meowed, when he got to them.
Kionkit looked up and gasped.
“You’re not an Angel cat.”
“Nope.”
“Where’s the Angel cat who was leading us here?”
“It was not an Angel cat who was leading here, it was me.”
“What! Then where are we?!”
“Our land.”
“Oh great Angel cats! What have I done?!”
Chapter 4
Back in camp the moms were returning back to their nest.
“That was a good break.”
Angelsing meowed.
“Yeah, it was.” Karialeaf sighed.
“Something is wrong.”
“What’s wrong Hollystar?”
“Doesn’t sound a little quiet to ya?”
“Now that you mention it, yeah it does.”
Angelsing replied.
“Kionkit!”
No answer.
“Wishkit!”
No answer.
“Santakit!”
No answer.
“Maybe they’re sleeping.”
Karialeaf meowed.
“Maybe, let’s take a look around.”
Angelsing meowed, as she started to look around the bush.
The other moms did the same.
“Anything?”
“No.”
“Nope.”
“Oh great Angel cats! Where are they?”
“Hollystar!”
“What is it Karialeaf?”
“I smell cayenas!”
“What! No!”
“Hold on a sec, I found some paw-prints!”
“Where?”
“Over there and they’re small enough to kit paw-prints.”
Hollystar walked over to the paw-prints and saw that Angelsing
was right.
“You’re right and it looks like they stayed together in a group.”
“Oh no, ummm Hollystar I just found more prints and they’re
cayenas.”
“They must have followed after them.”
“That’s my guess and there were at least three of them.”
“And I think I know who they are, follow me and help me get the
clan together “
“Why?”
“We’re all going to Janja’s land and battle for the kits.”
“Why the whole clan?”
“Because we’;re gonna need all the help we can get.”
“Oh ok then why don’t we split up it will make it a lot faster.”
“Wait a minute I just thought of a better idea.”
Before Karialeaf and Angelsing could ask what it is Hollystar ran
into the stable and jumped into the manger and cried out.
“All cats come here and hear what I have to say!”
One by one the the cats went the into the stable to hear what
Hollystar had to say.
As soon Reindeerwish entered Hollystar started.
“Christmasclan I have some bad news, our Angel kits have been
taken by Cayenas.”
Everyone gasped.
“It’s true, I am afraid.”
“We gotta go save them!”
Dovewhisper cried.
“Yes we do, now who’s ready to battle some cayenas?!”
“We are!”
The cats yowled.
“Good, now let’s go save some Angel kits.”
Hollystar jumped out of the manger and ran out of Camp. The
other cats right behind her.
“Will get our herbs ready!” Jesuslight yowled out.
“Ok!”
Hollystar yowled back.
Naturesing watched them go and sighed.
“I wonder how many of us will come back.”
Pepperminttree walked over to Natuesing and meowed.
“All don’t know, all of us I hope.”
“Same here Pepperminttree.”
Chapter 5
When the kit rescue patrol got outside they tasted the air.
"Cayena scent and it’s fresh." Mistpaw meowed.
"I smell it too and our Angel kits." Nemopaw replied.
"Same here and two sets of paw-prints, large and small." Lovepaw
said.
"Then let’s go, follow those paw-prints!" Hollystar yowled and
started to follow the trail of paw-prints the others right behind her.
"I hope they’re alright." Nemoscales sighed.
"Me too." Rainbowscales added.
"Don’t worry Kionkit will protect them."
"Kairaleaf he’s just a kit himself, how can he protect them?!" Lemonpaw asked, with a small retort.
"He’s not just a kit! He’s mine and Lionfreeze’s! Also my firstborn So I just know okay!"
"Okay, sorry Kairaleaf,"
"Guys quiet, we’re here," Hollystar said in a loud whisper.
Lemonpaw and Kairaleaf nodded and stayed completely quiet.
"There they are and looks like they’re talking, let’s listen to what they’re saying," Spottedpaw whispered.
"Yes, what have you done now kit?" Janja asked, with a laugh.
"What do we do now?" Santakit asked in a scared mew.
"I don’t know," Kionkit gulped.
"Ya don’t know?! You’re the one who got us into this mess!" Mainekit spat.
"I know but I thought it was an Angel cat leading us to safety not a cayena leading us to his land!"
"You really are just a fur brained kit," Janja laughed as he shook head.
"Yeah, and a dead one," Chungu meowed and licked his lips.
"Yeah, let’s eat!" Cheezi added.
"They’re right enough chit chat kit, time for dinner."
But before he could take the killing bite, Hollystar yowled.
"ChristmasClan attack!"
Kairaleaf was first to leap out and jumped on top of Janja.
"Run Angel kits!"
"You heard my mom guys run!" Kionkit yowled and started running the other kits followed.
You'll make a great leader one day Kionkit. Kairaleaf thought with a smile.
Janja wriggled under Kairaleaf’s weight and called out.
"Chungu and Cheezi after them!"
"We’re a little busy right now!" Chungu said, as ducked from a paw swipe that came Circlelife with her claws out.
"Sorry Janja he’s right." Cheezi added, who trying to shake of Candlespark who biting deep into his leg.
"Must I do everything myself?" Janja sighed and bit Kairaleaf's leg, Kairaleaf yowled in pain and loosened her grip. Janja smiled and wriggled out then went after the kits.
Kairaleaf got to her paws and went after him.
"Hold on Kairaleaf I'll cut him off!" a voice called out.
"Okay, Doryswim."
This is for you mom!
Doryswim ran like the wind and spat. "Stop right there Janja!"
Janja stopped in his tracks and turned around.
"Make me!" he growled.
Doryswim snarled and lifted her paw to give him death blow.
Janja gasped and ducked just in time. "You're Tideheart's kit aren't you?"
"Yes I am!"
"It's over Janja, you'll never get our angel kits!" Kairaleaf snapped when she reached them.
"Surrender Janja! There's too many of them!"
"Chungu's right we need to surrender!"
"Fine, you won this time but next time you won't be so lucky!"
"Hollystar it's all over! We won!" Doryswim meowed.
"Oh, thank the Angel cats, ChistmasClan let's go home."
Fantasnow let go Cheesi ran toward Hollystar the other cats right behind her.
"Hollystar did all the kits get out?" Rainbowscales asked.
Hollystar let a gasp. "I don't know."
"Yes, I made sure everyone made it out." A small voice called out.
"Kionkit, what are you still doing here?"
"I just about to leave Dovewhisper when I heard you guys asking about the kits."
"Okay, then let's go home."
"Sounds good to me, Findingshell, let's go home everyone." Hollystar meowed and everyone followed her back home.
"So, Kionkit where are the rest of you?"
"I told them to hide and wait for me Nemoscales."
Nemoscales was about reply when a small voice softly called out. "Kionkit we're over here."
"Okay, Adikit you guys can come out were headed home."
One by one the rest of the Angel kits came out and followed the rest of their clan-mates home.
"Here, they come." Lionfreeze meowed.
Hollystar purred when she saw them and walked into the stable. The others followed behind her when they were all inside she jumped into manger that was full of pine needles and started. "Our lord Jesus Christ, we celebrate these two learners. Who have been taught many Christmas songs including yours and ours, they have become great hunters, and now send out your angels to shine out their glow. And now you have become followers. With your new names. Clariceglow and Rudolphspark. That I shout to the heavens. Amen."
"Amen." The whole clan meowed.
Hollystar meowed, as she jumped out of the manger and the cats headed off to bed. All of them but Hollystar, who stayed behind to talk to Clariceglow and Rudolphspark.
"So, you two need to sit an eighteen-minute silent prayer. Think ya can do that before the kits are born?"
"Of course, we can Hollystar, and how did ya know?"
"Oh please. Ya think we didn't? Everyone could see what was going on between you and Rudolphspark."
"And, you're not mad?"
"No, of course not. There's no rule that says, brothers and sisters can't be mates. I'm very happy for you two."
"Thank's Hollystar."
"You're welcome, now I'll let ya be so you guys can sit your silent prayer." Hollystar meowed, as she walked out of the stable. When she was gone, Clariceglow and Rudolphspark turned around to face the manger. Then they got down on their knees, put their paws together, bowed down their heads and prayed.
Eighteen minutes went by quickly. They got up, walked out of the stable and headed off to bed. On the way, Clariceglow felt a sharp pain in her belly.
"Rudolphspark go get a Healer cat, their coming!"
"Now?!"
"Yes, now!"
"I'll get ya to the holly bush first. Then I will. I'll grab the first one I see."
"Ok, and hurry!"
"Their's only one way I can do that, pick you up and run."
"Ok, if it's the only way. Then do it."
But, before he could a yowl made him freeze. "Stop!"
"Naturesing, she ca-"
"She has no choice Rudolphspark, go get the manger from the stable."
"Ok, Naturesing." Rudolphspark meowed, as he raced into the stable and grabbed the manger. Then raced back to Naturesing. "Good, now help me get her in."
"Ok." Rudolphspark meowed, as he helped Naturesing get Clariceglow into manger. Just as the first kit was coming, after the first kit was born the rest of them came quickly. "Congrats, guys you have eight she-cats and one tom."
"What going on?" Clariceglow asked, licking her kits.
"Angelsing is having her last litter of kits!" Saintheart answered.
"Wow! ChristmasClan is getting a lot of kits tonight and me and Rudolphspark are big brother and sister again."
"Yes, and so is Nicholspaw, Mainepaw and Santapaw."
"Oh, yeah they are."
"Yeah, so dad can ya help me get Clariceglow to the holly bush?"
"Yes, of course I can." Saintheart answered, as he picked up one side of the manger and Rudolphspark picked up the other side and together they slowly walked toward the holly bush. On the way Clariceglow asked. " Do ya think we should name them now or when we get there?"
"Let's do it now, I'm thinking Joykit for the first one."
"I love it, and Christmaskit and Holidaykit for second and third."
"Perfect, and Candycanekit and Starkit for the fourth and the fifth."
"Those are perfect names for them. And Mangerkit and Adorekit for the sixth and seventh."
"I love them, and Pinekit for the last she-cat."
"That's perfect for her and let's name our only tom together."
"Ok, on three, one, two, three. Emmanuelkit."
"Those are amazing names guys and here we are." Saintheart meowed.
"Ok, let's put the manger down together."
"Sounds good Rudolphspark, on three. One, two, three." And together they placed the manger down in front of Angelsing, who already had her kits."
"Oh, mom. They're lovely, do they have names?"
"Yes, the only tom is Olafkit and five she-cats are Blueberrykit, Marshmallowkit, Littlekit, Sassykit and Izabellakit."
"Those are amazing names for them and we have named ours, mine and Clariceglow."
"Oh, congrats guys and what are their names?"
"The only tom is Emmanuelkit and she-cats are Joykit, Christmaskit, Holidaykit, Candycanekit, Starkit, Mangerkit, Adorekit and Pinekit."
"Those are amazing names for them too."
"Yes, they are Angelsing and wow! 15 kits were born tonight!"
"And we're big brother and sisters! And they are amazing names!"
"Yes, you are and thanks ."
"You're welcome."
"Well, we should leave them alone and get some sleep."
"Ok, Hollystar. good night."
"Good night!"
Hollystar, Rudolphspark and the learners left the bush, walk to their beds and fell fast asleep.
Santapaw fell asleep first and didn't know, she would have the most surprising dream of her life.
When Santapaw opened her eyes she was at the edge of solid frozen pond. She stepped back a little bit, so she wouldn't slip onto the ice. "Santapaw, it's ok." A voice called out.
"Who are ya?" Santapaw asked.
"Walk across the ice and I will tell ya." The voice answered.
"Walk across the ice? You're kidding right?"
"No."
"I can't, I'll slip and fall. I might die!"
"You'll be fine Santapaw, I promise. You'll walking across, a lot of frozen ponds on your quest."
"Quest? What quest?"
"Walk across the ice and tell ya about that too."
"Fine, I'll do it." Santapaw sighed, as she put one paw on the ice. Then slowly she put the rest on and started to walk across. She closed her eyes and said to herself. 'I can do it, I can do it' and before she knew it, she was across the frozen pond. She opened her eyes and sighed. 'I did it!'
"Good job Santapaw, I knew ya could do it. Now, my name Tideheart."
"I know ya now! You're Doryswim's, Findingshell's and Destinysparkle's mom!" Santapaw gasped.
"Yes, I am."
