Fire And Water - Warrior Cats (Private)

[Keriae]

Mackrel studdied her paws carefully, and opened her mouth. "She never really liked me, you know.Nver. It's because of my strange pelt colour. She wasn't that colour, and neither was our father. She was talking to some other cat one day when we were kits, and I overheard her. I'm wierd Thorn. And I'm named after a fish. A fish, of all things!" Her voce had grown to a wail, and her head had raised, but once she finished, it hung low again, and her body shook visibly.

Littlestreak didn't say a word, but with her eyes closed, it was obvious that she was enjoying the closeness of the tom. When she opened her eyes once more, they glowed with her happiness, and she couldn't care less about hunting.

Thorn turned at Mackrel's wail and looked at her. "She loves you, Mackrel. I'm sure of it. Which she-cat dislikes their own child?" he didn't know a lot about she-cats, but couldn't believe that a mother would dislike their own child if their color was different. He shrugged slightly, feeling uncomfortable talking about it. "Please Mackrel, if you need to talk to someone, remember that I will be here for you. Say anything you like, and I won't be angry." he said silently and added a little smile. He turned to see Scar and Littlestreak dissapearing and turned to Mackrel again, chuckling a little before he dashed after the two cats as fast as he could.

[Keriae]

Mackrel sighed and followed him after a while, not really watching where she was going. She didn't need to talk to anyone, but Thorn needed to understand that Bat hadn't loved her. She herself had tried to ide that nagging thought in the back of her mind, but with her mother's death, it had resurfaced. She was now free from her mother, free to do as she pleased but nobody would believe her.

[TheSilverfeather]

Thorn walked close behind the two cats, feeling that Mackrel still seemed a bit depressed. He sighed low and tried to push the thought away from his mind. He wasn't succesful before the rich scent of mouse reached his nose and his mind focused on hunting. Quickly he dropped to a hunters crouch and stalked soundlessy towards his prey, his paws hitting the forest floor lightly.

Dove yawned and got up, tired of being in the medicine den. Besides, she felt fine now, really. She walked outside and breathed in the fresh scent, enjoying the sun on her pale colored pelt. She sat down and began grooming her fur carefully, trying to remove any dust on her fur.

Narcissa woke up to some terrible pain in her belly and growled low. What was wrong with her? She shuddered as she suddenly realized what it might be. She got up quickly and stared at her belly, noticing that she had got slightly plumper since before the battle. Everything seemed to fit perfectly together. She lowered her head a bit and walked to the medicine den, dipping her head to Dove as she passed by. When she got in her mind swirled to Lucius. She walked over to him and touched his shoulder. "Lucius? Are you awake?" she whispered.

[Keriae]

Littlestreak lifted her nose to the breeze, catching the scent of squirrel. "Want t hunt it together?" She asked Scar, her eyes begging him to accept.

Lucius opened one eye, and sat up quickly at the look on Narcissa's face. His pelt, still covered in dried blood, was clumpted and standing straight up, making him look stupid. However, his gaze was serious. "Narcissa? What's wrong?" He asked, his voice nervous.

[TheSilverfeather]

Scar smiled and watched Littlestreak. "Sure, I wouldn't mind." he said and sniffed the air, catching the scent of squirrel as well. He crouched, his head flat against his head as he stalked forwards towards where the scent was from.

Narcissa shuddered. "I'm not sure if something is wrong..." she hesitated and watched her paws for a long time, trying to think about what to say. "Lucius, I think I'm pregnant." she said, her gaze watching him carefully. She blinked a few times and glanced away for a moment, as if she thought he would be angry at her.

[Keriae]

Littlestreak watched him for a moment, then stalked around to the back of the scent, keeping as low as possible. She looked around for Scar. She would chase the rabbit towards him, and he could finish to job.

Lucius fell over in his shock, but got up, spluttering. "P-pregnant? K-k-kits?" He asked, supprised. "That brilliant!" He exclaimed, and lenaed forwards weakly, licking her nose.

[TheSilverfeather]

Scar smiled and nodded towards Littlestreak, keeping low so that she could chase the prey to him. He preprared to leap up when it came towards him, simply sitting there. His ears was perked at any sound nearby, his tail held inches away from the ground to prevent it from making any noises.

Narcissa smiled a bit, but studied her paws nervously. "I'm not sure yet, but I think so." she stopped and watched him for a while, worry shining in her eyes. "What if something goes wrong?" she whispered, obviously scared.

[Keriae]

Littlestreak could see the squirrel. It hd sensed her, so she ran at it, causing it to flee towards her clanmate. Her teeth were bared, and her ears flat against her head as she enjoyed the thrill of the chase. It was her favourite part of hunting.

Lucius shook his head. "Nothing will go wrong. And I'll be there for you." He promised. His heart was swelling with joy. Narcissa, his Narcissa, was having kits. His kits.

[TheSilverfeather]

Scar felt his ears flatten against his head as the prey came towards him and leaped forwards, grabbing it by it's throat. The two of them fell to the ground and Scar bit down as hard as he could, waiting for the squirrel to die.

Narcissa smiled, her whiskers twitching slightly. "Thank you." she said and leaned forwards, giving him a soft lick at his cheek. She sat back and blinked a couple of times, flinching as her belly hurt again. This time she kept silent though.
