Number of Cats: 7(3 Servings)Toms: 4 Mollies: 3Next Moonstone Visit: May 25, 2017🍁Archive🍁──────────────────────────────────────── "Zira, is that you?"
"River? Oh, it really is you!" The pregnant molly dashed over to the familiar tom, pressing her face against him and purring loudly, her injured paw was kept elevated as it throbbed with the sprain. "I have been looking for you for a whole moon! I have been so worried-" she went on but was cut off by the worried meows from the white cat.
"Actually I am Blizzardsong now, it is a long story. But Zira, you are hurt?!" His voice grew from worry to anger. His pale yellow eyes glared at Owldust who just stood there "You are a mouse brain! Can't you she is expecting kits! And here you have her, out and about in the melting snow. You should be ashamed, what if something terrible had happened to her!" he spat at the now cowering molly. Before he could continue Zira interrupted him.
"Riv-Blizzardsong, I asked her to come out here with me. If you have to be mad at anyone be mad at me, she was out here to protect me while we searched for you." The soon to be queen explained to her mate. It managed to stop his anger filled words but his glare obviously said he was still upset. "Come on Owldust, lets go back to camp. Maybe Cloudstar will be back from Moonstone and this can all be sorted." Zira meowed sweetly before limping back towards camp. Owldust went to help the molly but was pushed aside by Blizzardsong so she just lead the way, staying quiet for once.

Cloudstar had woken up on his own in front of Moonstone. It was oddly quiet and it seemed as if Starclan had now heard his prayer, usually when he had asked for a cat they would have shown up at the cave. Maybe Zira's mate was dead? The fluffy white tom left the cave behind the waterfall feeling puzzled, he was going to head back to camp and see what Archpool had to say about this.
Cloudstar did not know what was waiting for him back at camp, so when he entered he was shocked to scent and see an unfamiliar cat. The leader looked around and saw that he was talking to Bouldershade and Fawnwillow, but where was Zira and Owldust? They should have been back by now, he would ask Bouldershade. As he padded up to the group of cats and was about to ask Bouldershade where the mollies were. Before he could he could hear Owldust chatting away quiet loudly in Archpool's den and the faint meows of Zira. Seems he got an answer before he had to ask so instead he asked Bouldershade "Who is this?"
"This is River, I mean Blizzardsong. Owldust and Zira found him out in the meadow." The deputy meowed informatively. It was hard to get much emotion from this tom and Cloudstar will have to talk to him later.
"Brother, you forgot to mention that Owldust let Zira get hurt." Blizzardsong meowed the molly's name with much anger and hate. This caused Cloudstar to narrow his eyes at the new tom, he was not sure how he liked the tone.
"I am sure it was an accident, brother." Bouldershade muttered.
"Enough," Cloudstar interupted the two toms, Zira seemed fine anyways as she walked out of the den and towards the group with Owldust at her side. He ignored them and turned to Blizzardsong "Tell me, how did you find your way here?" his usual bossy tone was laced with curiosity.
"Starclan, at least that is what they called themselves. They said if I accepted to becoming a warrior and took a new name they would lead me to Zira. They gave me the name Blizzardsong and then it was like could scent Zira all the way here." The white tom meowed to the small crowd of cats, only Archpool was not here to listen, as if he did not care. All the cats were quiet when he finished telling them what had happened, it was Cloudstar who spoke up.
"It seems like Starclan had answered my prayer, I asked that they bring you to us a warrior. It seems they have brought both you and Zira to join our ranks." Cloudstar then looked at the preganant molly "It seems like you will need a proper clan name." He turned away from the group and jumped up on the high rock "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the highrock!" he yowled. Though the majority of the clan was already gathered, he waited for Archpool to come out. When the medicine cat's head popped out of his den Cloudstar continued. "Zira, do you promise to uphold the warrior code to protect the clan, even at the cost of your own life?"
"I do." Zira meowed bravely and loud enough for every cat to hear in the clearing.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Zira, from this moment you will be known as Dawnflower. StarClan honors your kindness and positive attitude, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Briarclan." As if Starclan wanted to show their acceptance a beam of sunlight came through to the clearing, engulfing the camp in warmth. The cat of Briarclan chanted Dawnflower and relaxed for the rest of the day.

"Please don't make me be alone with him! He hates me!" Owldust pleaded with Bouldershade who was making the patrols that evening. "I know we are suppose to all get along.." The molly added.
"Owldust, what makes you think he hates you?" The deputy asked before thinking about his own question. They had spent almost a whole moon now and even Bouldershade noticed Blizzardsongs hostility towards Owldust "Never mind, why don't you come and patrol with me? Cloudstar can go hunt with Blizzardsong instead." The deputy meowed. He would use Fawnwillow as well but she was starting to become big with kits. His kits, and there was no way he was going to risk her getting hurt.
"Thanks Bouldershade!" Owldust purred and nuzzled him before bounding off to eat. She was so much like a kit and the tom was not really looking forward to spending the day with that talkative fur ball. The tom sighed before following after her, he picked up a quail and padded towards the nursery. He was just going to drop it off to the queens and tell Fawnwillow he was going on a patrol.
"Those are such cute names!" Bouldershade heard Fawnwillow meow "But how do you know-" The molly stopped when she saw the tom enter. "Hey Bouldershade! You know you didn't have to bring that, I could have gotten it myself." Fawnwillow meowed as she saw the quail.
"Speak for yourself Fawnwillow, I am glad he brought that plump bird. I am starving!" Dawnflower chuckled sweetly. "Blizzardsong has been so busy patching up the few holes in the nursery walls and making sure our bedding is nice and dry that he forgets to bring some prey. Not to mention I bet the feathers would make our nests softer." She added as Bouldershade passed the bird to her.
"I know you could have gotten it Fawnwillow, but I wanted you to get some rest. Not to mention all the mud that the melting snow has created.. Anyways, I am going on a border patrol and Blizzardsong will be going on a hunting patrol so if you two need anything just go get Archpool. I asked that he stay in camp until Dawnflower has her kits at least." The deputy meowed before nuzzling his mate and padding out of the den, he could hear them resume their conversation before padding away towards Cloudstar. He let the leader know the change in patrols and then went to check on Archpool, informing him that both son to be queens were in the nursery. Only after he had done all this he went to the entrance of the camp where Owldust was now waiting for him and lead the patrol down south.

Cloudstar had dipped into the medicine cat's den, Archpool wanted to see him one last time to make sure he was okay to go back to his usual busy self. "Hey Archpool." The tom called out before spotting the Bengal tom.
"Thanks for not fighting me on this as usual, Cloudstar. Now have you had any coughs or runny nose since the last time I have seen you?" The white tom just shook his head "Then it seems you are doing much better and now you can continue your duties. Also if I may say something, maybe you should have Bouldershade take it easy. He has been pushing himself a little to hard now and I would hate to see him get sick. Fawnwillow is going to worry herself soon with kits, she does not need to worry about Bouldershade either." He meowed with care, of course this observant tom would have noticed the deputy taking on to much.
"Alright, I will make sure he takes it easy." Cloudstar muttered to the medicine cat, he hated taking orders from someone else. Archpool however seemed to love to give him commands and it was no wonder that the two did not always get along. Cloudstar turned away then, rolling his eyes before padding out of the den. There he saw Blizzardsong put another bundle of moss on top of the nursery, he seemed to have tucked it in with a little bit of mud as he patched up some holes. "Come on, lets go do some hunting Blizzardsong." the leader meowed.
"I was hoping to stay around camp though, Archpool said that Dawnflower can have her kits any day now and-" The short hair tom started to say but was interrupted by Cloudstar.
"I don't think I was asking." The leader bossed "We can stay close if you want but the clan needs food and you know it. We are down a warrior now and we will have more mouths to feed. So we go do some hunting, maybe if you stopped complaining we can be done faster." Though it was put harshly Blizzardsong knew Cloudstar was right and without a word he lead the way out of camp.
───────────────────────
Once Bouldershade had left the nursery Fawnwillow turned back to Dawnflower "But how do you know what they look like?" She asked her the question. Dawnflower already had names for her kits and it puzzled Fawnwillow.
Dawnflower swallowed the bite she had taken from the quail before answering "I can see them in my dreams, at least I think I can. They are so playful and so fluffy with their kitten fluff. I can't wait for you to meet them Fawnwillow." The molly purred as if she already knew her kits. Her tail was wrapped around her side as if to protect them.
"They sound wonderful, I hope I have healthy and strong kits. Though I am sure I will, little fluff balls love to kick me in the side." Fawnwillow meowed affectionately. "I am glad the snow is melting and there are no more snow storms. That means leaf bare is over and our kits will have prey and wont starve." This caused Dawnflower to nod in agreement.
The light colored molly had plucked some more feathers from the quail and stuffed them in the lining of her nest before bending down to take another bite. Suddenly a sharp pain went through her stomach and she looked at Fawnwillow with wide eyes "Get Archpool!" she whispered before another sharp pain went through her abdomen. She pushed the half eaten quail away towards Fawnwillow's nest and tried to get comfortable in her own.
Fawnwillow nodded when Dawnflower told her to go get the tom, she left the nursery quickly and carefully walked over to his den. "Archpool, it is Dawnflower! I think she is having her kits today." she meowed in a hurry. She watched as the tom grabbed a small bundle of herbs and trot passed her. Fawnwillow didn't follow after him, she would give the two their space.
