{I know. that's what I said. That's why Raven said that there is only one more. } Ravenfrost felt the ripples receding, though she knew from experience that there was usually another kit to come. "Stay with me, Kit." She meowed. "Talk to me if you can. Tell me how you met Silver." She meowed, trying to distract her from the pain that was going to come as the fifth and final kit was born.

Oh ok. Read a bit wrong))
Kit vaguely heard the she-cat but smiled slightly. "I had gotten... lost. Silver found me." She took a deep breath as she faded in and out of consciousness. "He helped me get home. Ever since we've been friends. After he tried to protect me from the cat that attacked me... we accepted we loved each other and now are mates." Her head flopped down as her gaze started to darken.

{Lol. Is all good. } Silver licked her, sending up a prayer to Starclan that she would be okay. "Stay with me Kit." He meowed fondly to her, "WE've made it this far." -- Ravenfrost massaged Kit's flank, feeling another strong convulsion coming. "Push!" She meowed, knowing for sure that this would be the last kit. "This is the last one, then you can rest! I promise."

Kit barely heard the she-cat. Her instincts are what reacted as she used what strength she had left to bring her last kit into the world. After that though her vision faded to black and she fell into the depths of unconsciousness.
(She's alive but just barely and wakes up in a few days. I thought I would create some... drama!)

{Lol. Definitely dramatic. } Ravenfrost acted quickly again as she repeated the process for the last time. She licked the kit's fur backwards until she heard it mewl. She placed the last two kits at their mother's belly. After making sure the kits were well, she checked that Kit was still breathing. "She's fine Silver." She promised the worried tom. "We need her to get back to camp." She told him. {Should we have a patrol of Echostar and Snowhawk show up searching for Ravenfrost?}

Sure!))
EchoStar and SnowHawk had gone out for a walk. The leader had finally recovered from losing her life and wished to stretch her legs, SnowHawk had simply accompanied her. They were padding along when they caught RavenFrost's scent. Glancing at each other they followed it to where Kit now lay unconscious with Silver by her side, five kits at her belly, and RavenFrost checking her over. EchoStar was the one to speak. "RavenFrost, what's going on?"

"I was out searching for herbs..." Ravenfrost began, not knowing how best to explain what happened. "I got a little distracted when I came across Silver and Kit, and she was kitting." She told them. "I am sorry I didn't take a warrior with me, and I won't come out again without some cat accompanying me." -- Silver nodded confirming Ravenfrost's story. "We were going to come to the volcano." He added, having not told this to Ravenfrost. "If that is okay, Echod-star." He meowed to his old friend.

EchoStar looked at Kit, her eyes full of fear for the she-cat. "She looks so young though! Is she okay? Silver, how do you know her?" She was suddenly at the she-cat's side, nudging her cheek. She hated seeing cats die and since this cat now had kits to care for it would be even worse.

Silver opened his mouth to reply, but then shut it again, thinking of how to explain how he had crossed paths with the young cat. "She was in trouble and I helped her out." He replied, not wanting to touch on how he had killed the cat responsible for this. "She is 15 moons old. I was watching out for her, and now we are mates." He told her, the past now coming out. "But my question is still unanswered..." He meowed in prompting.

EchoStar looked at Silver and then back at Kit before nodding quickly. "Yes, let's take her to the camp. RavenFrost can look after her and the kits that way." She nodded to SnowHawk and the tom padded up. "What's her name? Also, I'm able to carry two of the kits, RavenFrost, you can carry one as well. Either only one cat is carrying Silver's mate or two are and me and RavenFrost will manage to carry the kits."

Silver nodded. "I can carry her." He told Echostar."If you can manage the kits, I can manage Kit." He told her. A He put his paws around Kit. "I've...flown with her before..." He confessed. -- Ravenfrost picked up two of the kits and began flying towards the camp, hoping that they would take the hint that she wanted to get them to camp. "Meet me at the camp." She told them.

SnowHawk nodded and grabbed the final kit as EchoStar picked up two of them. With a swish of her tail EchoStar was in the air and hurrying toward the camp as fast as she could.

Silver carefully picked up Kit in his paws and flew into the air, carefully so that he could securely fly with her between his paws without hurting her. He flew with speed and was glad when the camp came into view. "We're almost there Kit. Almost." He told her, hoping that she would be okay.
{Would Echostar want to give Silver and Kit Clan names for joining and Rejoining the clan?}

Post by Jekyll on May 6, 2018 12:30:45 GMT -5
I think that would be up to Silver and Kit. I'm thinking of giving Kit a clan name but I'm not sure. And it's up to you for Silver))
EchoStar and SnowHawk landed in camp at the same time. Thankfully most of the clan was out hunting or doing patrols and so the camp was mostly empty as the leader and warrior made their way to the nursery. There was extra moss in the nursery at all times and EchoStar quickly made a nest out of it and then gestured for Silver to set Kit inside it.

Silver gently placed his mate in the soft nest and curled up next to her. He wasn't going to leave this spot until he knew for a fact that she was still alive. He watched the kits as they nursed and was glad when he saw them finally fall asleep. "Thank you." He meowed to Echostar, Snowhawk and Ravenfrost in turn as they sat near by watching. "She would have died without your help." He meowed. "We- we were coming to the camp anyway." He told them. She would like to join and I- I want to be where she is..." He meowed as guilt rose in him again about what had happened. "Can we stay... Echodr-star?" {I have a feeling he wouldn't mind becoming a warrior, but he would be a little edgy for a while. }

Post by Jekyll on May 6, 2018 12:51:12 GMT -5
I can understand that. I'm still trying to think of names for Kit))
EchoStar glanced between SnowHawk and RavenFrost before turning back Silver and smiling kindly. "Of course you can stay here. Can I just ask why your mate wished to come here instead of being at her original home?"

Silver simply shrugged at this, being unsure completely of her motives. "She has a good heart, and a troubled past." He meowed thoughtfully. "She would've died if I hadn't been there for her and I think she wanted to learn more about where I came from. Not to mention she was a kittypet and her housefolk were terrible to her..." He told them the story of the last moons that he had been away as Kit and her newborns slept peacefully. "I hope you understand why I did what I did." He meowed, referring to telling them about what he had done to Uge. "It was outside the warrior code."

EchoStar only smiled as she padded up and touched her nose to Silver's ear before doing the same to Kit and then each of the kits. "I feel you did the correct thing. By ridding her life of Uge you saved not only her but her kits as well. Your kits as well." She smiled at the tom before stepping back. "You are both welcome here along with the kits. If you wish to, you will be invited back into the clan officially and if Kit wishes it and our ancestors are willing, she may be given the gifts that the rest of us have. Then when your kits become apprentices, they too will get the gifts. This is all up to the two of you though."

Silver thought for a few seconds. "They- they aren't my kits..." He meowed awkwardly, hoping he didn't sound mouse brained."Can I talk to you in private, Echostar?" He asked his leader, finally getting used to calling her by her rightful name. "Like we used to when we were younger?" He asked her. "I have some things I need to tell you." He meowed, not wanting to leave Kit, but also not wanting Snowhawk or Ravenfrost to hear what he had to say.
{Also, Silver was going to be named a Warrior when he left... Siverflight...He rejected the name when he left...}

Do you want him to get that name now?? Also, I have three names in mind for Kit. KitHeart, KitFur, or KitWhisker.))
EchoStar nodded to SnowHawk and RavenFrost and turned back to Silver as the two left the den. Sitting down the she-cat wrapped her tail around her paws and settled her green gaze on the silver tom. "What is it Silver? Also, when we're alone I give you permission to call me EchoDream. I somewhat miss my old name." She laughed lightly and gazed fondly at her old friend. They had grown up together and the clan hadn't felt the same to her after he left.

{Lol. I thought of a one of them for her as well... read Silver's post 5 up from this post, counting this one as one... } Silver smiled as he listened to her talk. "I miss the old days when we did this all the time." He meowed reminiscing. "Echodream, I never told you the full reason I left the clan in the first place." He confessed after a few moments. "Obviously the guilt and pain of what happened drove me away, and the things Snowhawk said to me made it worse." He told her. "But seeing as how you are now the leader, you should know..." He thought how to word his reply. {Also, if Echostar wants to call him by his warrior name, he may not be as afraid of it. }

I don't see it. I read the post but I don't see the name))
EchoStar smiled and stayed quiet as the tom spoke. She wanted him to feel comfortable enough to talk about it on his own.

"She has a good heart... {Lol.} Silver took a deep breath. "I left for that, don't get me wrong, but I sensed corruption in the clan. Cats seeking to gain power, who didn't live the warrior code to the fullest." He meowed remembering the things he had witnessed. "I sense a great danger coming."
|

Post by Jekyll on May 6, 2018 14:09:47 GMT -5
Oh! Lol))
EchoStar perked her ears at this and immediately went rigid. "Explain this more. If you knew of this then the leader before should have...," She stopped speaking before clearing her throat. "If you feel danger is coming then I should know of it so I may protect my clan."

Post by Squirellfire on May 6, 2018 14:22:02 GMT -5
Silver shook his head. "You didn't know everything about the leader before you." He meowed thoughtfully. "Nor the cats that followed her." He meowed, not wanting to hurt his old friend. "Echodream, I don't know if they are even still here. Or if they feel the same way." He meowed with a deep sigh. "If something arises, I will tell you immediately, I promise!" He meowed happily. "But for now, I think I need to officially rejoin the clan..." He meowed with joy in his voice.

EchoStar smiled brightly and nodded. "I know that RedStar was not a good leader. When I became leader I learned that our ancestors wanted to take away our gifts. I rekindled our bond with them and now we live happily once more. I will not let anyone cause that again." She then looked at Kit and smiled. "A good heart huh." She laughed lightly. "Tell me when she wakes and I'll hold the ceremony then."

Silver nodded. Turning to look at Kit. "I do have one request though." He meowed. "I just want to remain known as Silver, if that is possible." He meowed, hoping that if he ever did leave the clan again, he would be able to not be bound with a new name.
{TImeskip to when she wakes up?}

Post by Jekyll on May 6, 2018 14:49:11 GMT -5
Aww. Darn. I liked the name Silverflight. XD))
EchoStar nodded quickly. "If that's what you wish. Ask Kit when she wakes if she wishes for a new name though, if she says yes... I already have one in mind."
(Sure! Timeskip-- two days *weird alien noises. Ping! Timeskip complete)

Silver laid his head on his paws again, beginning to doze off. He had opted not to build himself a nest as he watched over Kit. She had been asleep for two days, and he worried about her very much. He hadn't eaten or slept really.
