Jekyll)) Shatteredlake watched in admiration as the first kit was born. He nipped at the sack, cutting it quickly before giving his kit strong licks to warm it up.

Aloevera didn't have time to look at her first kit as another wave of pain crashed over her almost immediately after the kit was born and the she-cat was forced to focus on her current task. Perspiration soak into her fur and blood was beginning to soak the moss of her nest slightly but she still pushed once more, her head falling as she managed to birth her second kit.

Shatteredlake did the same for the second kit as he did the first, bringing it gently to his side to make room. "Is there any more coming?" He asked Wolfheart, glancing over to look at his mate, who seemed absolutely exhausted. He smelled the metallic scent of blood in the air and his fur spiked with worry. "Is she alright? There shouldn't be that much blood..." Shatteredlake cuddled his first two kits closer as he fussed.

“You’re almost there,” Wolfheart encouraged, looking down at the first two kits. “There looks to be another coming. Just get through this last one.” The amount of blood was concerning him, so he offered Aloevera more of the raspberry leaves.

The she-cat gave a weak nod, forcing herself through the pain as she ate the offered leaves and readied herself. "Ok... let's do this." The next pain was slower to come, the she-cat bracing herself. The pain was small though, and Aloevera knew immediately that something with this kit was different. Forcing herself to look behind her she saw the kit was tiny, her chest still and the she-cqt's eyes went wide with panic. "No! Wolfheart, help her!"

Wolfheart’s relief at the last kit coming was short-lived when he heard Aloevera’s panic and saw the kit, tiny and still. Oh, StarClan, don’t take her so soon, he prayed. Wolfheart quickly nipped the sac and brought the kit close to him, vigorously licking her fur the wrong way in an attempt to get her to breathe and start moving.

Aloevera watched closely, tears brimming at her eyes as she prayed for her kit to breath. When a mewl escaped the kits small body the queen let put a sigh or relief and her tears turned into ones of joy as she smiled. "Thank you Wolfheart."

“I’m always happy to help.” Wolfheart bowed his head before making sure all the kits were at their mother’s side, hopefully the rest of their kithood would go smoothly. He turned to address Aloevera and Shatteredlake. “Congratulations, both of you. Bringing new life into the clan must be exciting.”

Shatteredlake carefully brought the other two kits to Aloevera's belly so they could start suckling. Immediately, the second kit began kneading her mother's stomach impatiently, mewling in hunger. "They're beautiful, Aloevera," he whispered. "I love them."

(Here!)
Minty happily steps out of her house and takes a moment to stretch her body. She wanders over to the fence eager to explore for a little bit. Her twolegs were busy which meant plenty of time for her to be on her own for a little bit. Minty walks over to the fence and jumps on top of it and looks around.

Aloevera smiled softly as she nuzzled the small little she-kit back toward her belly after she had strayed away. "What should we name them love?" Looking closely at the runt of the litter the new mother realized that a plant came to mind because of their fur. "How about Vanillakit for this little girl? Her colors and markings make me think of a vanilla orchid."

Hawkeyes258)) King heard a shuffling from nearby. He usually spent his days wandering around the twoleg homes searching for food they may have thrown or rats searching through the rotting food. He glanced up, staring at a pretty cat on the top of a fence. "Hello," he called. Jekyll)) Shatteredlake nodded happily. "What do you think of Cloudedkit? She looks like a leopard shrouded in the clouds." He placed his tail tip on the white she-kit's head, gazing lovingly down at her.

Minty looked down at the tom and tilts her head to the side. "Oh, hello there!" She mewed waving her tail in greeting. Minty had seen him around a few times but this was her first time talking to him,

King hopped up onto the fence beside her. "My name is King. I've seen you around, is this your house?" he glanced at the large shelter behind her, wondering if she was a loner like him or a housecat.

"That it is." Minty said with a flick of her tail. "What about you? Do you have people or do you wander?" She asked him.

"That's perfect for her. What about the tom though? What should we name him?"

Hawkeyes258)) King shook his head, his ginger fur ruffling around his neck. "No, I don't. I used to though. Great owners, but they left. I was out exploring and by the time I came back, they were gone. I've been living alone ever since." Jekyll)) Shatteredlake searched his brain for a perfect name for the tom, but none came. "I got nothing," he half purred. "Any ideas?"

"How about Spectralkit?"

"Sorry to hear that." Minty mewed unsure of what she would do in that situation. "Must be fun though to not depend on Twolegs for food and to do whatever you want."

King sat precariously on the fence, keeping his tail out for balance. "Not really," he confessed. "I get really lonely sometimes."

Morninglight hesitantly stepped forward until water lapped at her paws. It was cold, not like the warm sand or cool forest floor. It nipped at her toetips and made her shiver. Slowly, she took step by step until water scraped the fur on her underbelly. The water seemed calmer once she was in it, and instead of crashing against her, it just tugged her legs slightly, a gentle ebb and flow that wanted her to dive deeper. Gaining a little confidence, she turned around and splashed Bubblepop in the face with a giggle.
Dovepaw was caught off guard as she was attacked, her mind moving slower than her mentor's as she was tossed about. Suddenly, she was pinned to the ground, struggling to slip away. With a sigh, Dovepaw quit her struggling and went limp.
Hawkflight noticed Dustpaw moving up the rocks. "Be careful, Dustpaw! I don't want to fish you out of the water too!" Have you decided on someone to be King's love interest?)) We dropped these ones when the kitting started, oops)) Bubblepop watched the she-cat slowly as the ocean current pulled at her legs and soaked into her fur, the sun having warmed the water before they got there and making it where it felt nice on her skin. When water was suddenly flying toward her she tried to dodge and fell in, her entire body becoming soaked as she stood up with a laugh and sent a wave of water back toward Morninglight with her own paw. --- Blessedflower gave a nod and moved off of the apprentice, letting her get up. "Sneaking is one of the best ways to fight in the forest. The dense undergrowth and the large amount of scents can be helpful to hide both you and your scent, but you also have to think. I made sure to choose a bush that had white flowers, that way it would help hide my white fur. Not only that but the flowers have a very strong smell that covered up my own. Today, you will be learning how to perform a perfect sneak attack on an unsuspecting cat. I borrowed Canyonpaw today, who has a fantastic sense of smell and his high energy makes it where he is aware of everything around him. He was sent by me to hunt close by and your job is to sneak up on him without him realizing and attack him. I'll be watching of course but you nor him will know where I am. Now head that way." She pointed off in one direction with her tail. "Be silent, e sneaky, and be sure to use your senses, your surroundings, and your head." --- Dustpaw flicked her tail dismissively at the older tom's words as she caught the scent of a water vole and crouched down, moving forward steadily as she tried to find the small animal. Finally she spotted it beside a hole on the edge of a berry bush and knew that if she messed up then she would be going home empty pawed. Checking the wind as she was taught the she-cat used the rocks along the Cascades to hide her gray fur as she moved closer until she was only a tail length away from the bush. Jumping forward suddenly she struck out with her paw and snatched the vole from under the bush, tossing it into the air and watching as it hit the rocks. She then pounced on it again and killed it with a quick nip to its neck. "I did it!"

Minty places her tail on his back to comfort him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Do you have any friends or family?" She questioned. "Well," King began, his eyes clouded with a memory of when he was younger. Sadly, he shook out of his daze. "Not anymore." his eyes lit up once more. "Unless you want to be my friend?!"

Jekyll oh goodness you're right lol)) Morninglight tried to dodge the water that came flying towards her face, but the water slowed her down, and she ended up getting water up her nose. "That was cheap!" she cried, bounding towards Bubblepop with her tail flicking, playfully chasing after her with laughter in her eyes.
Dovepaw blinked in understanding. "With my white fur, I'll have to hide in the white flowers that you did to hide myself and my scent," she murmured out loud, thinking through her strategy. She gave her mentor a sharp, determined nod before slinking off in the direction her mentor pointed her in. She opened her jaws, scents of the forest flooding her senses, but she was only focused on one. Canyonpaw. She caught a whiff of his scent and padded silently through the forest, making sure she didn't step on any loud leaves or brittle sticks.
Hawkflight nodded respectfully as he watched Dustpaw catch the vole. "Give thanks to StarClan for this gift. Bury it and try for some fish. If you need instructions, just ask." While Morninglight was off doing whatever she was doing, Hawkflight felt responsibility for this apprentice.

Fernwing glanced around the camp. She had heard some meowing coming from the queens den and smiled thinking of new kitsch coming into the clan. She stood up and stretched shaking off the moss off her black and white pelt. She walked out of the warriors den and into the main camp, glancing around she searched for someone to talk to or to see if they had a patrol together for right now.
-------------------------------------------
SharpPaw was eating a small fish watching everyone in the clan move around. He liked cat watching but he loved to chat to the other cats and getting to know them. Ever since the merge he has been a little hesitant to get close to the others but he decided today he was gonna try to talk to other cats that are not from oceanclan.

King ducked his head. "Sure." His whiskers twitched, and he yawned, even though it was only mid-day. "The sun makes me so tired," he grumbled, swaying slightly on the fence.
