Returning not too shortly after a quick solo hunt, Runningblaze had just dropped off a shiny fish, his front paws still damp from fishing in the Murky Puddle. The large tom had an affection for swimming, and that included fishing as well, it was one of his most favorite things, aside from his mate and kits. Speaking of, the white and ginger tom spotted two little dark bundles bounding out of the nursery, immediately recognizing them to be his little balls of trouble. Runningblaze let out a deep purr that rumbled in his chest and observed the kits moments before finally deciding to approach the little ones.
"Now what exactly do y'all think you're doing out here by yourselves?" The large tom interrogated the youngsters, amusement shining in those bright green eyes of his. "Did your mama send ya off on your own for making too much of a ruckus?" His gaze mainly landed on the smaller of the two, Shadekit. Her tiny size had greatly worried the tom, afraid she would grow sickly due to her small size and slow development, but she proved to be just as lively as the others. "Or did you wander out here on your own?" Runningblaze finished questioning them. He wouldn't be surprised if they decided to leave on their own, he's sure it must be getting crowded now with Nightecho's new kits. Though, he's pretty excited for his kits to be growing up with their own kin.

The tiny kitten would normally have bounded forward to meet her father, excited and with an endless number of questions about everything from the mundane to the bizarre. But today Shadekit seemed shell-shocked, her short life had thus far been only one of happiness and love, if it had ever been anything else, Namely an unfortunate sitting incident she had been too young to remember, she was none the wiser. However, the fear she had heard from Nightecho had panicked her, something she had never heard of anything similar and she didn’t like it. The idea her mother might ever be like that made her all the more scared. Burrowing her tiny frame closer to her father, her dark coat standing out against the soft gingers of her father’s long coat. All but sinking into it, “Something is wrong with Nightecho,” She squeaked, eyes wide enough to be comical on her facial features.

Based off her reaction and how she didn't immediately rush towards him, Runningblaze could sense something was wrong. Worry struck across his face and he embraced his short sized kit, wrapping a protective tail around her tiny frame. He briefly glanced to Dark-kit, wondering if they were feeling the same. "Nightecho is a big she-cat, she can take care of herself just fine so don't worry about her, sweet girl." Runningblaze comforted Shadekit, hoping his words would make her feel better, though he was highly curious on what was going on. Pensive green eyes landed on the entrance of the nursery and he made a note to himself to check up on the queens later on.
With that worry aside, Runningblaze took a big step beck and crouched down to get on Shadekit's level, playful grin on his face. "Let's say the two of you and I play a game, does that sound fun?"

Ryestorm
She never really enjoyed silence, instead she would usually fill it with the sound of her own voice..yet right now it seemed nice enough. She could see the camp coming into view, letting her relax a bit at the idea of no longer carrying these two pieces of prey.
"When we get to camp, how do you feel about getting a bite to eat? I think we earned it..totally not part of my reason for heading out though." She teased, giving him a soft purr as she picked up her speed. She had forgotten he might trail behind with his own prey, stopping at the entrance to turn around and watch for him. Sure, walking by his side was fun but she also enjoyed a little mock chase every now and then. She was a tad disappointed he couldn't join in but there would always be days to come. Perhaps, for once in my life, a cat is warming up to be my friend. The thought felt foreign to her, usually cats would avoid her presence since every time her mouth opened it could result in a heated debate. Yet, here she was, having had a peaceful discussion with the tom before her.

Driftfall
With Nightecho & Co
As soon as he began his departure, a scream filled his ears. He certainly wasn't prepared for this, he had thought the kitting had come smoothly for her but there no mistaking it was Nightecho calling out. He tried to make an abrupt turn but instead hit his head on the entrance to the nursery. He grumbled to himself, he wasn't thinking straight. He couldn't think straight, all the possibilities filling his head. She could be dying, a complication he hadn't even thought of or worse, in the mother's case, a kit would be passing away in front of her eyes with no one to help assist it. He pushed on into the nursery, letting his eyes adjust to the dim light once more. When he could see the bodies around him, everyone seemed fine. Breathing, no blood, nothing. What had happened then? He never thought of Nightecho as the type to cause such a ruckus for no reason.
He glanced to the other queen beside her, perhaps something was wrong there? She seemed well enough, her breathing fine and no scent of illness hung in the air. He decided instead of just trying to resolve the problem with clues, he would just go about asking her since it seemed everything else around him was in order. "Nightecho, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Looking up from where she was crouching to the side of the den, the young queen was beginning to shake but was forcefully trying to keep herself steady and upright. Her gaze burned with fear so sharp it could have set dry foliage ablaze, and the four newborns were mewling in confusion in the nest a few steps away, begging for their terrified mother. Her gaze drifted across the medicine cat, knowing she would be judged for the moons of her apprentice-hood and young days as a warrior were something she told very few cats, especially not her mate. That she had trained under the dark forest, learned to kill in ways that would make most warriors revolted. Closing her eyes, she inhaled shakily, "I dreamed of my father." That much was a well known point, and not something that would necessarily damn her in the eyes of her clanmates. "He has threatened the kits."

Driftfall
With Nightecho & Co
His heart skipped a beat when she mentioned her father, he was well versed in the cats the clan had a right to be fearful of. But in all rational thinking, a nightmare about her dad posed no threat to her or the kits. She might be suffering from some post kitting stress which caused such a scene to play out in her mind. It wouldn't be the first time in his seasons of training and being a medicine cat he had seen this. Despite that thought process, he learned as a 'paw to never dismiss a queen's frantic feelings even if they seemed impossible to come true. "Nightecho, look around the den, try to stabilize yourself in reality. Your kittens are breathing softly beside you, no harm done to them.." He trailed off, his eyes slowly moving to the bundles of fur near her. They seemed fine, the lack of a lot of movement on their end didn't bring him a great cause of concern since their breathing seemed even enough. "What all did he say? Did he mention any set in stone plans to harm the kits?" He felt helpless in this moment, like many times before. If, this was a big if, it wasn't a nightmare and the real deal...it's not as though the tom could force his way into her or her kit's dreams to stop the tormentor. He walked with Starclan in his own sure but he never had walked with other that were living. Nor the literal reason the word evil exist.

"I know the dark forest as well as you or your apprentice know the ways of the stars," her voice was hoarse and unfamiliar to her own ears. Grief seemed to wrack her frame, not necessarily for the loss of her kits but the threat she had brought upon them. What kind of mother am I? She demanded with a shake of her head, barely a day old and the shadow of death lingered over them, and it was all of her fault. "You need to know if my father makes a threat, he very much means it." She glanced to Lightbloom, knowing she of all cats would understand her fears. Though Nightecho had been the closest to her father, it was a burden they had shared for a long time. It might well have been a nightmare, but that didn't make it any the less real than any thing she saw before her. Nightecho; whilst not a particularly kind shecat by nature, was a logical and rational one at heart. And if this had panicked her so much, it was a likely indicator that this was no irrational fear brought on from a kit-like nightmare. She relayed quietly what had happened to the medicine cat and consequently those who shared the den. How she had awoken in the depths of the dark forest, found her father - crazed and angry, and he had discovered that she had recently bared kits. Her own cockiness had given away the location of the newborns, and how he had vowed to find them and deliver them to his dark home. Lowering her head as she looked to the four kits for the first time since this had all happened, she added dejectedly. "And he promised to leave one alive, for his own purposes. He is coming back, and I think it will be through one of these little ones." She whispered quietly. I am having so much fun right now, don't mind me.

Driftfall
With Nightecho & Co
At the mention of the dark forest, his mind began to race for solutions for them. He had none. He knew very little of the Dark forest, just what it was and what was in there. He had no clue how to will a cat into walking there, it would only happen if they were summoned it seemed. He fluffed up his own fur despite the air being warm from the many bodies. A cold chill still ran through his body though, he would prove to be helpless in this unless he went out searching for the dark forest himself. I would be useless if I went there, a dead medicine cat is not a good medicine cat. "Do you think we should tell Scorchstar about all of this?" His voice sounded more steady than he felt, something he had trained himself in learning. "He might be able to help us figure out a way to protect your kits better from forces that aren't known to walk among us." He wasn't sure how she would feel about suggesting that the newly appointed leader should help, perhaps she was a Dovepool supporter and he never even knew. Either way, Scorchstar was their leader. He had been there when he received his lives, no doubt there. "I know it might be weird to ask the leader for such but I can't fight your father, I know nothing of moves outside of those that were learned to protect me. I don't know how to kill an undead cat." His heart felt for the queen, he would never have kits of his own but he could understand the feeling of being helpless to help those close to him.

Something in the young queen's gaze seemed to harden, her frame steeled as a stiffness ricocheted through her frame until she sat up straighter than she had been. Blinking thoughtfully, her head carried low. "Will you?" She asked calmly, not looking at the medicine cat as she spoke, her tail drawing around herself as she tried to think straight. Her gaze flickered across the frames of her four kits, sadness burning in her gaze now as she waited for the medicine cat to respond. They were so perfect, so innocent... "I need someone else to look after these kits," she said weakly, her heart broken. "They don't deserve me as a mother, someone else should raise and love them," It was clear from her tone of voice that she hated having to say it, but her words were spurred on by what seemed to be a genuine fear for her loved ones, "I am a terrible mother, they need someone competent to raise them."

With Nightecho & Co
He felt a bit sick at the idea of the queen giving her kits to another cat in the clan. None of them would be able to produce the milk the kits needed besides the other queen in here with them. Even then, it was unheard of for a queen to outright give up her kits. She would be a cast out from the clan, not physically but most likely emotionally. "I will talk with him but listen to me, Nightecho. You cannot just give up on your kits, sure other cats would take them in and protect them but I've never seen a more force more fierce than a queen protecting her kits. You would be the best option for them now and in the future." He didn't want to think about asking other cats to take the kits, even if he wouldn't be the one doing so. He lifted himself off his haunches, feeling a familiar ache in them from sitting too long. "I will discuss things with Scorchstar and perhaps the deputy if he's not available, but do not, I cannot stress this enough, make any rash decisions. The kittens as of right now are safe and breathing."
