Petalfur looked at Adderstrike wondering if the kits should call her their mother, but it just didn't seem right. She didn't want to diminish the memory of Applebloom in Adderstrike's mind even if she had wanted to so long ago..... "hush, kits" she mewed gently, her voice soft andquiet. "your real mother will always be with you, right here" she said touching their chests with her tail. "she loves you and so does your father. I am here to take care of you until you can see her once again" she added softly. The kits, laid at her stomach, began to fall asleep. Petalfur looked at Adderstrike in a way she looked at no other cat. A loss of words, but a heart of understanding and love. She soon lay her head on her paws and drifted into sleep.

Dapplekit looked around. Where was Hawkkit? The cat she'd traveled here for. Given up the comfort of the nursery to be with the one she loved the most.

Meadowfur lay in the clearing. She had lived a noble life, and made a new home in WindClan. She had died of weakness. A fever, and a hint of greencough though the season was leaf-fall. Her dead kit lay beside her, Runningkit, a mixed-colored cat who looked just like his father, had died, scratched to the bone by brambles and biten by a fox. Her two other kits, Meadowkit, a kit that highly resembled her mother, and Jumpkit, a jet-black tom kit with green eyes, sobbed at her fur.

OOC: why not. it adds drama and the kits will have a mother.
SHORT TIMESKIP
IC: Petalfur woke silently after a brief rest with Adderstrike's kits as well as her own, Wheatkit. They were still sleeping soundly at her stomach. She got up and stretched only to lie back down. She wasn't going to leave the kits alone... Not now. She wondered what Adderstrike was doing, and the wondered why she cared. He was very sweet, but he wasn't his mate. Yet... She remembered when she was a new warrior... Adderstrike had also just gotten his warrior name. She looked at him, her heart stirring, but he looked away, he looked to Applebloom. She soon forgot about her love for the tom and moved on, slowly. She had found another mate. She came back to life as the three kits woke hungry. She turned over so they could suckle. They were still so tiny! She knew how Adderstrike felt. They shared something in common, both their mates had died as well as one of Petalfur's kits. Did she like this tom once more? Or would she be true to only her other love? -
Dapplekit ran up to Night of Shadow "do you know where Hawkkit is?" she asked, tilting her head "and when can i learn to fight?!" she questioned, standing up on her hind legs balancing perfectly and swishing her tiny unsheathed claws through the air.

silently dropping back onto four paws, whimpering she said "can i see hawkkit for just a moment? i can make him respect!" dapplekit was smart and wise. she mewed "but i'm not six moons yet. What clan is this?" she mewed curiously, questions bubbling inside of her "sorry," she meowed guiltily "for asking so many questions. I'll be loyal to whatever clan this is!" she vowed looking the grown cat in the eyes. "may i start now?" she asked looking at her paws. "i'm sure i'll be the best...in...int, intener that i can!" she finished aware of the cat looking down at her.

Featherwind gasped in horror. She'd sen the two toms go after Petaltail and knew it wasn't good. She'd tried to stop Grayfur from hurting Shrewclaw by risking her own life. She'd tried to jump over him, but she was too late. Grayfur was a vicious killing tom! She realized with a start. He hadn't thought twice about what he was going to do and he only cared about Petaltail!! He hadn't bothered to see if Shrewclaw was alright. She ran over to Shrewclaw aware of pain that might be going through him. She nudged him softly. "are you okay?" she whispered, shuddering
OOC: Jeez Weaselyfur, I'm not trying to go after your cats! Its a coincidence. I was gonna meet Grayfur up in that tree, but he jumped too soon! -
Dapplekit whimpered "sorry" she mewed truthfully. It was obvious this cat was upset so dapple kit shot one last glance and sped off. 'where are the other kits?' she wondered as she bumped into Winded Spirit. "i'm sorry!" she mewed, her ears flat and her tail drooping. She was shaking hard as the cat turned to her. She backed up slowly whimpering scared.

OOC: transformers nerd Sorry!
-
Featherwind licked Shrewclaw's cheeck. "ill go get the medicine cat" she mewed quietly as she dashed off. She looked for Petaltail. "petailtail!" she called out urgently. She could smell the she-cat's scent and ran to it almost knocking her down. "You like whom!?" she demanded. "because of YOU" she cried angrilly, "shrewclw is almost in starclan!"

Petalfur wondered why Freezeshine was in the nursery. Was she expecting kits? no, she didn't have a mate yet. so why is she here? Petalfur pondered the question. She so badly wanted to see Adderstrike, but why. "Freezeshine, please watch the kits, I need to go to the dirt tunnel" she lied. She crept out of the nursery and headed for the freshkill pile. i can't love another cat? can i? she thought opening her mouth in search for adderstrike. not so soon after Stormclaw... she thought guiltily.
-
OOC: sorry! my mistake. I thought grayfur had dragged petaltail to the camp or something. anyways:
Ic: "why are you sorry to that vicious killer!" featherwind snarled. "he TRIED to kill Shrewclaw!" she said, still extremely angry at Petaltail's lover. -
"they're good" she mewed, her heart racing now. "i've left them with Freezeshine for a little while." she meowed trying to act normal even though she was flushed. "here." she said as she took a large rabbit from the fresh kill pile. She padded over to a more concealed spot and ppushed the rabbit towards him
-
"Well you better tell him that!" she snarled. "Go on! Tell Grayfur you choose Shrewclaw over him! And tell Shrewclaw why you didn't try to stop Grayfur!" she hissed and stalked off not far where she sat and groomed. i thought grayfur loved me... she thought miserably i wanted to stop him. he could've been mine, but he jumped on shrewclaw and now what?!
-
"sure" she replied feeling guilty that she had betrayed her love to stormclaw. She hungrily took a bite out of the rabbit and pushed it back (once again) to adderstrike. she laid her tail on his, jerking away when she realized what she was doing and then laid it down once more ontop of his feeling love and kindness.
-
"so soon after applebloom" she teased, purring, stormclaw, forgottem. Adderstrike would be her mate now "i think i love you too" she purred louder, twisting her tail into adderstrike's
-
she giggled. "stormclaw wasn't you" she mewed touching his cheek with her tail. she rolled over playfully. "how could I say no" she murmured resting her muzzle on his flank. she closed her eyes, almost dozing off. she got up with a start
-
"oh! right" she mewed "i am SO sorry!" she jumped back startled. her gaze softened and then hardened once again. "i'll bring him to you then." she hissed. she went off to get shrewclaw. "shrewclaw," she mewed, lightly prodding his side. she bit on his scruff and started to drag him to petaltail.
OOC: now we wait.. -
Featherwind sat down. making herself comfortable, she started grooming
