Another shriek sounded from the nursery, forming a feeling of worry in the cats who were gathered around the den. Some cats tried sneaky peaks into the den to make sure Maizeflower was okay while others sat back, flinching at every cry. Finally, Fadedsong scurried out the den, eyes ablaze with worry.
"Fadedsong, what's going on?" Luckyfur asked, but the medicine cat ignored him. She dashed over to the medicine den like a dog was chasing her.
"Fadedsong? Are you alright?" Lambstar called out to her friend, but still no response. A yowl sounded from the nursery, causing Whiterose to wince. "I-I'll see what's going on." Lambstar said, though she wasn't really sure that she wanted to. Slipping into the den, Lambstar saw Maizeflower, her queen, hissing in pain, with two orange and one brown kit near her stomach, drinking her milk. Maizeflower let out a painful screech and began shaking.
"Why can't I just die already?" Maizeflower growled to no one in particular.
"Die? Maizeflower, what's going on? Why are you in so much pain?" Lambstar inquired padding towards the queen and laid next to her.
"Fadedsong! That stupid medicine cat of yours can't keep me or my last kit alive, she told me!" The queen hissed, her voice rang with great sorrow when she mentioned her kit. "But the ones that are alive, name them af-" Maizeflower cried out in pain, her eyes squinted as she beat the floor underneath her with a paw. "N-name them after crops. I want the orange male one to be Carrot something."
"Carrotkit. Got it. Want to name your others too while you're still- uh, y'know..."
"Y-yes. Can I name the small she-cat Gala. A-after-"
"Gala apples?" Lambstar interrupted. The pained queen nodded, teeth bared as she was in intense pain that Lambstar hoped to never understand.
"Th-this brown one with a red tail, could you please name him Coverkit? T-then Covertail f-for his red tail. Maizeflower stuttered. Fadedsong entered the den again and headed straight towards the ginger she-cat.
"Eat this then push." The tortoiseshell she-cat ordered, revealing that she had a poppy seed in between her paw pads. Maizeflower obeyed, eating the seed then pushing for her last kit. The queen sank her claws deep into the soil underneath her as she birthed one last healthy kit. Maizeflower breathed heavily, out of breath, as Fadedsong checked to make sure all the kits were okay.
"I'm sorry, Maizeflower. I couldn't save you, but at least all your kits are healthy and alive." Fadedsong murmured softly to the queen quickly, then pushed her babies until they were in her line of vision. The queen gave Fadedsong a look of disbelief, then eyed her kittens once more to see that they really were healthy. They mewled, calling for their mother's milk. Their skin was pink and soft, which was enough to convince Maizeflower that they were healty. A proud grin was visible on the ginger she-cat's face as she rested her head on the soft nursery floor. Fadedsong pushed the kits back over to Maizeflower's stomach before she asked, "What'll their names be?"
"Carrotkit, Galakit, Coverkit, and Caulikit. Lambstar knows who they are." Maizeflower whispered. "Thank you for allowing my kits to live. Now please, take good care of them. The queen told Fadedsong, then finally closed her eyes and went limp.

Lambstar peered inside the nursery at the mewling, starving kits. Fadedsong insisted for the Clan to let the queen stay there for as long as possible so the kits could maybe continue drinking her milk, but LambClan's leader was sure they'd end up drinking her blood soon. That, or nothing, which was what seemed like they were doing now. Flurrytuft was right by her side, looking at the kits with fretful eyes. "Lambstar, we need to do something. Why don't we head to Moonpool and hope we get a warrior who's had kits before?" Flurrytuft suggested. Lambstar nodded her head.
"Yeah, good idea." She commented, then called out, "Whiterose! Watch the Maizeflower's kits while we're away. If they start drinking up blood or whine too much, take them away from Maizeflower's dead body." The white, red-eared she-cat nodded and sat near the den to do what she was told to.
Flurrytuft and Lambstar headed to Moonpool, feeling perturbed for Maizeflower's kits. They travelled past their plains territory over to Moonpool's rocky cave. Lambstar tip-toed inside, ears against her head as she silently mourned for the queen. She laid down and dreamt.
When she reopened her eyes, she saw a young, kind, familiar face. "Maizeflower?"
"Ah, so you do recognize me." The dead queen said. "I'm going to try and figure out how all this StarClan stuff works so I can help LambClan out,"
"I think you just send us prophecies and grant us new cats. Speaking of which, can we have a warrior that could care for your kits?" Lambstar asked.
Maizeflower tilted her head to the side. "I... Don't think I can do that. I'm sure Ashtint can, though."
"Ashtint?"
"Yeah.. I can never see her face, but I know she's here. She's a kind, white silhouette of a cat." Maizeflower explained. "Oh, and get rid of my dead body. It's got no more milk and is going to start smelling."
"We will. Anything else?" Lambstar asked.
"Nothing else. Thanks for letting me and my children join your Clan. Now wake up." Maizeflower said, with series of hisses and snarls sounding in the background, causing Lambstar to wake with a start. She automatically peered outside to see some fluffy, brown, ragged pelted she-cat snarling at Flurrytuft, who was hissing back at her. Lambstar was going to jump in and help her deputy out until she heard the other she-cat speak.
"Good, good. Make sure you bare your teeth more, though, and lash that tail of yours like you're threatening an opponent." She said.
"I naturally don't lash my tail much, though." Flurrytuft spoke.
"Ah ah ah! Don't make excuses, make improvements. Again!"
"Flurrytuft, what in StarClan's name is going on?" Lambstar asked, padding up to the tom. "Who's she?"
"I dunno," LambClan's deputy shrugged. "She just popped out of nowhere and started training me."
"I am Rita." The older looking she-cat said. "I was known as a strong, threatening rogue where I come from, but that rank didn't pass without its troubles." Lambstar and Flurrytuft looked at each other, having a feeling that Rita was going to tell a story. The sat side by side and listened.
"Lots of other rogues hear my name and ignorantly take it as a challenge. They want to be the best around, so they decide it's best to take me on. I've had countless gangs ambush me in my sleep, but not one left without a million bloody scars carved on each cat. One tom I met, a handsome orange tabby, decided that instead of challenging me, he'd settle down and we'd grow a family, an empire. Or at least, that's what I once thought. When the kits were old enough to fight, that mangy crow-food eater stole them and tried to get them to attack me. Of course, they fought me, following their idiotic father's words, but I wouldn't attack my young back. I did do something, however." Rita said, pausing for what Flurrytuft thought was only for dramatic effect until he realized she wanted them to speak.
"Er, what'd you do?" The gray tabby tom asked.
"I left." She answered.
"You left? Why?"
"Despite my title, I'm not all that of a violent cat. I was tired of living in such a sick, disgusting world where all the cats their wanted was fame and power. I had children and wished to train them to be wise and strong, just as I, but they were growing corrupt before I even got a chance to save them. So I simply left, for a new, more peaceful home. For a place I could train those younger than I to be wise and strong." Rita explained. She then turned to Flurrytuft, and said, "That's why I trained you, young one. I could see that your heart was true, and that you didn't wish for violence or glory, but wisdom and strength for the greater good."
The tom looked amazed. "Wow..." Was all he could say.
"You're perfect." Lambstar blurted out.
"Perfect? No, I've got my flaws." The older she-cat stated.
"N-no, I mean for my Clan, LambClan!"
"LambClan? Doesn't sound too bad. What does this Clan do?" Rita asked.
"We work together to help each other survive and help LambClan grow more and more into something respectable and great." Rita said nothing more, so Lambstar went on. "Um, with our current situation we need someone promising to train our kits in the future, and someone to feed them for right now. Their mother died while giving birth to them and we don't have anyone who's had or is having kits at the moment."
"So that's why you say I'm perfect. If you're asking me to, I'd be willing to join this Clan of yours." Rita decided.
"Gr-great! I'm sure you'll love it there! Here, we'll show you to our camp."
