─ ℓαsт мσση xxxxxxxThe nursery was practically overflowing with the arrival of both queens’ kits. Maplebreeze and Honeytail welcomed four healthy kits into the clan: Pinekit, Oakkit, Goldkit, and Sweetkit. Shadow had five kits, alive and well: Aspen, Fog, Mist, Vixen, and Beetle. Ashkit, Featherkit, and Hollykit were finally allowed back into the nursery, though they weren’t too impressed by the new mewling arrivals. Clan life finally seemed to be bustling again, spirits were high, and worries were pushed to the back of minds.
xxxxxxxCats were put in an even better mood after Snowstorm’s patrol returned with another cat in tow. He was a fluffy gray and white tom with a dignified air about him. He introduced himself as Dexter but was open to the idea of converting to a warrior name. Everything was going rather swimmingly until the nursery caught a whiff of his scent and sent Shadow into a frenzy. “Get him out!” She yowled waking up all of the newborn kits. “Get him out of my sight!”
xxxxxxx “Don’t worry about her,” Dexter said smoothly. “We didn’t depart on the best of terms, but she is not harmed. Plus, shouldn’t I be allowed to stay with my kits as well?”
xxxxxxx“You gave up your kits as soon as you left me in the river!” Shadow screeched. While she hissed and made a scene, Neritefang helped shelter the kits with a timid Maplebreeze. She was used to spats in GraveClan, but that didn’t mean the young ones should be exposed to it.
xxxxxxx“Easy.” Twistedstar put herself in between the arguing cats. She still managed to look intimidating even with her hind end swaying under her weight. “Sunchaser, talk with him. Shadow, I’ll have a word with you.”
xxxxxxx•••
xxxxxxx “I stumbled upon Dexter not too long ago.” Shadow explained in a low voice. “We didn’t get along terribly well at first, or I guess ever. We always had spats over prey or bedding or anything really. But he did have his charms, of course. When we weren’t arguing, he was great to talk to; I don’t think I’ve told anyone else as many secrets as I told him. He knew what to say, how to say it, and made me feel heard. I heard whispers and mutterings among alley cats about his rough character, but he was fond of me. I didn’t pay them any attention.
xxxxxxxThen, I became pregnant. They were his, they are his kits, but he seemed distant. He grew colder. We fought more often about the tiniest things. He started paying other mollies visits, leaving me alone in our little alcove. He was uninterested in me, and I felt used. I told him that. I finally snapped told him, ‘you used me, and I’ve had enough of your charms and tricks, I’m done!’
xxxxxxxHe didn’t like that. It was storming outside, just getting dark. ‘Leave then,’ he was goading me. Lightning flashed and now there was this strange glint in his eyes. He looked excited almost. ‘Leave and see how far you get!’
xxxxxxxI turned tail and ran. I felt like I was running for my life but of course that seems silly now. How could he hurt me when I was carrying kits, his kits? I ran towards a clump of trees since I needed out of the rain and knew that area led to a wilder territory. There was a small stream close by and I thought I could hang around there until I figured out a long-term plan.
xxxxxxxBut Dexter had followed me. I wasn’t very fast in all of the rain and mud, and I guess he wanted to see what I would do, where I’d end up. The rain must have caused a small-scale mudslide right down into the stream. I planned on curling up underneath a thick root and hiding away from the storm. I made the mistake of looking back. Another lightning strike illuminated him and the malicious glint in his eyes. I skittered backwards right over the edge and into the stream.
xxxxxxxI woke up drenched, still half-way in the stream and high-tailed it out of the area. I hoped I would never see him again," Shadow finished her tale. "I can't believe he's back."
xxxxxxx•••
xxxxxxx“I’m worried about Shadow. That’s why I’m here in the first place.” Dexter said quietly. “She acts tough and headstrong, but in reality, she is aloof and naïve. I had to make sure she found a safe place to live after getting spooked by a little rainstorm. I was worried sick that our kits would be washed down the river by her poor decision making. I am very glad that you gave her a proper shelter, but we can’t leech off of your goodwill for terribly long. I will do whatever I can to help your group out until the kits grow stronger, then we’ll be out of your hair.”
xxxxxxx•••
xxxxxxxTwistedstar and Sunchaser compared the two differing stories. The parts that Dexter so obviously glossed over were worrying, but he had been nothing be respectful. In the end, Twistedstar made the final decision. “While if Shadow allows it, you can visit your kits, I’m afraid she is too distressed having you stay in camp.” Dexter bristled at the denial. “You have three moons to hang around on our territory, but I’m afraid you must hunt for yourself and find another place to live after the time is up.”
xxxxxxx“Understood.” Dexter forced a smile, but it turned to be more of a sneer. “I’ll be back to see the kits when they are a bit older.”
xxxxxxxShadow wasn’t thrilled with the upcoming visit but understood the circumstances. “Thank you for keeping him away.” She wrapped her body around her kits. “I feel…safe.”
xxxxxxx“Will you be staying permanently?” Twistedstar asked gently. “You all have a space here in TwistedClan.”
xxxxxxx“I’m…still not sure.” Shadow looked down.
xxxxxxx“Take your time.” Twistedstar turned to leave the queens to take care of their kits. “But sooner is better than later.”
─ ρяεsεηт xxxxxxxThe remaining cats of DewClan all splintered off in different sized groups to find new places to live. Patchedmask had slipped away from all of them, knowing where he wanted to be. TwistedClan housed Rainsong, but while they both had mostly moved on from their relationship, his kits were there! He missed them growing up, but he finally got a chance to spend time with them. He paused before crossing the TwistedClan boundary. Was he sure they would accept him? His kits didn’t know that he actually was their father; Rainsong had decided not to explicitly tell them. Sunchaser had been unsure of him, rightfully so, and he wasn’t sure what the tom’s reaction would be once he stepped into the camp. Lastly, his heart skipped when he thought about seeing Rainsong once more. While he had moved on from the younger molly, excitement still coursed through him thinking about having the chance to talk to her once more. It’s now or never. He purposefully took a step over the marker. No turning back now.
xxxxxxx•••
xxxxxxx“Can we talk?” Nightpelt prodded Flameleap which elicited a sharp hiss. The orange tom sat up angrily as the squirrel he was stalking dashed away at then noise. He glowered at Nightpelt silently. “I didn’t mean for you to get upset.” Nightpelt started. “I just don’t like becoming terribly close with others.”
xxxxxxx“You made that very clear.” Flameleap said stiffly. “I’ve stayed out of your way, so you won’t be sad when I die. I would appreciate it if you would do the same.”
xxxxxxx“Well, it turns out that I don’t like it when you ignore me.” Nightpelt narrowed his eyes. “So don’t.”
xxxxxxx“I’m glad I finally have permission to talk to my friend.” Flameleap rolled his eyes. “I’m so honored to be allowed in your presence.”
xxxxxxx“See? Now we can go back to normal.” Nightpelt pleaded.
xxxxxxx “Learn some sarcasm.” Flameleap huffed and walked away. “And if you scare any more prey away, I’ll catch your pelt for dinner.”
xxxxxxx•••
xxxxxxxRainsong successfully herded the excited apprentices into one group. “We’ll all head out to the training clearing together and then split up to take the warrior assessments.” She explained. “If you see your mentor before me, flag them down. We’ll begin once Sunchaser is finished talking to Twistedstar.” She craned her neck. She could see a tip of an orange and white tail poking out of the leader’s hollowed tree stump, but it continued to stay in place. If only he would tell me a fraction of what they talk about, she thought. I could be another ear to worry to. Darkmist and Snowstorm joined the group.
xxxxxxx“Shall I fetch Sunchaser?” Darkmist had followed her gaze.
xxxxxxx “I will.” Rainsong frowned. “You could find Birchwhisker and Ruststripe.” She didn’t give the black molly any time to argue. She gentled prodded at his tail. “Are you ready?” She called, making sure she wasn’t eavesdropping. The tip of the tail quickly turned into a full cat.
xxxxxxx“Are you ready?” Sunchaser smirked. “It’s going to be a long day.” He intertwined his tail with hers and started towards the growing group.
xxxxxxx “Wait.” Rainsong stopped. “I’ve been thinking…do you want to have kits? Kits of our own?”
xxxxxxx“I would love that.” Sunchaser lowered his voice. “But don’t feel like we have to. I think of Patchnose and Petalfall as my own blood.”
xxxxxxx “I know, and I love you for that.” Rainsong rubbed her chin against him. “But I’m the one who suggested it. I’m serious.”
xxxxxxx•••
xxxxxxxDarkmist watched Mountainpaw practice his stalking technique through narrowed eyes. He was finally starting to grow into his paws and gaining defining muscles. “Lower!” She corrected and he sunk closer to the ground. He looked to her for confirmation. “Better.” She muttered. She watched Sunchaser duck underneath the bushes surrounding the training clearing. There were five final assessments today, and the deputy must be growing fatigued. Her lips curled into a sneer. She had graciously offered her assistance of being another pair of eyes to assess the apprentices and gotten rejected. Oh well, she would weasel her way to the top of the ranks eventually.
xxxxxxx•••
xxxxxxxThistlefur lounged beside Mallardwing on a flat rock by the creek. Leaf-fall was coming, and they wanted to soak up the sun before it grew chilly. Mallardwing rolled over to her back stretching her limbs to the sky. Her fur glistened in the sunlight. Thistlefur’s heart lurched. He never thought of her as ugly, but he had never paid much thought to her appearance. Mallardwing had just been a good patrol buddy, but for the past couple of weeks, he had been growing quite fond of the tabby. She caught him staring and flashed him a toothy grin. “You’re daydreaming.” She teased.
xxxxxxxThistlefur bashfully looked away. “Just thinking.”
xxxxxxx“About what?” Mallardwing poked him. “It must be good if you ignored my question.”
xxxxxxx“Question?” Thistlefur sat up to regain focus.
xxxxxxx“Yeah, silly.” Mallardwing laughed. “I asked how you were, though I think know I have the answer.”
xxxxxxx“Sorry,” He apologized. “I don’t know where my thoughts wandered off to.” They sat in a comfortable silence. Mallardwing was the first to break it.
xxxxxxx“You don’t have to answer this if it’s too personal,” she said. “but did you leave any family behind in WaveClan?”
xxxxxxxHe shook his head. “Nope. I didn’t leave anyone too important. And I only met Windcall, Graybelly, and Minnowflash on my journey here.” He paused awkwardly. “Not that they’re around anymore either. What brought this up?” He scrutinized her as she just shrugged but kept her gaze on the dirt. Something clicked in the back of his mind. “Are you missing your parents?”
xxxxxxxMallardwing let out a soft cry. Thistlefur licked her head trying to soothe her. “Goosekit died at birth, so I was their only kit. Then Toadsplash died and Claystream just left me! I was her life but she just ran away. And Valleyrunner took Ravenpaw and Twilightpaw with him, and even though Mountainpaw is still here, I’m not really his mother. Well, I am but not really.” She sighed. “I’m not making any sense I know.”
xxxxxxx“You’re making perfect sense to me. It’s been a tough year.” Thistlefur pressed against her. “You’re allowed to feel sad. I’m sorry that I can’t really do anything to make you feel better.”
xxxxxxx“You’re crazy,” She let out a small chuckle. “You already did. Thanks for listening to my crazy ramblings.”
xxxxxxx•••
xxxxxxx An exhausted group of cats entered camp with Sunchaser in the lead. Night was falling and the clan had waited for everyone to come back to begin a shared meal. The growing clan had just gotten settled in ready to dig in to their prey, an unfamiliar black and white tom with mismatching eyes hesitantly stepped into camp. “What are you doing here?” Sunchaser was the first to react, shooting to his feet and bristling.
xxxxxxx “My name is Patchedmask, and I seek refuge.”
