Camp was quiet this morning, as Asterflight slipped out of the warriorโs den. Yawning she padded over to the nursery where Mothflutter lay just outside, swiping a paw over her face to clean her long muzzle.
Mothflutter smiled at Asterflight and the Blue she-cat sat down beside her mate.
โGood morning Mothflutter. How are you?โ
โIโm alright. The kits will be born soon. This moon is what Ridgepelt said.โ The orange and white queen responded. Asterflight nodded.
โHave you seen Candleflicker or Canaryglow yet?โ Asterflight asked.
The oriental queen shook her head. โNo, I havenโt though I did see Blizzardfoot slip out of camp earlier this morning. Or not. I might have just dreamed it, it was pretty early.โ She chuckled.
Asterflight smiled, getting to her feet.
โIโll go find him.โ She mewed.
Wandering through the misty woods, Asterflight took a deep breath, enjoying the cool air. The sun was strangely absent this morning, obscured by thick clouds. Hopefully it meant rain. Ridgepelt and Spruceleaf has been complaining about the herbs beginning to crisp up and dry.
Asterflight was brought out of her thoughts by voices drifting through the trees. Curiosity led her towards them and though she knew it was wrong to eavesdrop, she wanted to know more.
A smile crossed her face as she recognized Blizzardfootโs voice and she quickened her pace a little bit.
But then she hesitated. Stopping a few pawsteps away, still obscured from view, she heard a second voice.
โ... take care of them. The little she-kit is Bonfirekit and the Tom is Flarekit.โ A female voice mewed, sounding worried.
โDonโt worry. I will.โ Blizzardfoot said.
Peering through the brush, Asterflightโs fur stood on end as she surveyed the scene. Blizzardfootโs white pelt stood out like a bear in a flock of ducks and beside him was a strange she-cat and two kits. She hissed softly. What was he doing with a rogue? Or worse, a cat from another clan?
Sinking her claws into the grass she watched as the kits tumbled around and Blizzardfoot and this stranger kept talking.
โI have to go now.โ The she-cat said. Blizzardfoot sighed.
โI should too. Will I see you again.โ He asked.
โMaybe at gatherings. I love you.โ
โI love you too.โ He said sadly. โIโll take good care of them.โ
The she-cat merely nodded then sprinted off. Blizzardfoot looked down at the kits.
โAlright you two. Letโs head back.โ He turned to leave but Asterflight stalled out of the bushes.
Blizzardfootโs eyes widened. He stepped back.
โAsterflight! I-โ
โShut up.โ She snarled. โIโve seen enough.โ
โIโm so sorryโโ he started. She whirled around.
โNo youโre clearly not!โ She roared. โItโs too damn late for your half-hearted apologies!โ
โAre-are you going to tell Featherstar?โ He stammered. โPlease theyโre so young!โ
โNo. But you, me, the others, weโre done.โ She snapped. Furious, she added. โI hope you know that the most dangerous cat to your kits, is you.โ She stalked away, wincing slightly as he growled.
โI donโt need any of you! We never loved each other! Maybe you and Mothflutter loved each other, but me, Canaryglow and Candleflicker, have no one.โ
โSo be it.โ She snarled and stormed off, leaving him standing there alone.
Tawnyheart padded through the misty forest down to the stream, the half-moonโs light on her back. Two days ago Blizzardfoot had brought his kits back and chaos had followed. But it had gotten her thinking. How many other mateships weโre close to crumbling. She knew that Cypressclaw and Flamepelt were on thin ice, Cypressclaw not wanting any more kits, Flamepelt hoping for some and Firepaw caught up in the middle of his parentโs fight. Surprisingly in the midst of all this chaos and mistrust, Fleetrunner and Heatherbreeze had grown much closer now, and the two she-cats might someday become mates.
Thinking back to her own rushed mateship she wondered if her and Wolftail were as stable as they thought. Leaping over a log, she realized they really hadnโt spoken much since Larkbounce and Ivytuftโs warrior ceremonies. He became more and more busy with his duties as deputy and they both agreed more kits was not something they could handle so... now what. She paused. She truthfully didnโt know anymore. Sheโd been so certain that they were meant to be together, that she didnโt really consider whether they should be together. She hated being a queen. She loved her kits but she loved her freedom. Being able to run and hunt and fight. Being a warrior was who she was. Not a mother. At least not a good one. Sheโd been distant at best from her kits.
As Tawnyheart thought it over she began to realize. She never should have been a mother. Nearing the stream she looked down at her reflection. Scars marked her pelt. Her face naturally turned down to a frown.Her ear was torn from a battle from her youth long-forgotten.
Ripples stirred the water as a tear slipped down her cheek.
why she thought. It was the only thing that mattered. The clan had been so small. It needed kits. Sheโd been confident that serving her clan was the right choice. But she hated it and her kits suffered as a result.
Sighing she looked at her reflection again. Her face was screwed up into a sob and she snarled. Swiping at the water with her claws she turned away, fuming. This was what motherhood had done to her. It made her anxious and depressed and nervous.
She needed her freedom. Badly. She needed to be free from all distractions and she knew what that meant. Turning, she bounded through the woods, dodging brambles and roots leaping around stone and over logs. When she reached camp panting she fought to catch her breath as she pushed through the thickets into the entrance.
Thankfully Wolftail was sitting alone, eating fresh-kill.
Trotting up to him, she mewed breathlessly, โWolftail, we need to talk, please come with me.โ
Once they were a little ways away from camp, she sat down on the mossy ground and wrapped her tail over her paws to keep it from twitching with agitation.
As she explained everything, Wolftail listened intently, but she could see the sadness in his eyes. โSo, you see. I need this. I need my freedom back. I...โ she took a deep breath. โI donโt think we should be mates anymore. I need to be free and I think... I think you do too.โ She finished.
Wolftail paused. Finally he nodded and opened his mouth to speak but no words came out. Sighing he tried again, โI understand.โ He croaked. โBut... if you ever need me, Iโll still be here for you, as a friend.โ
Tawnyheart smiled. โThank you.โ She said and touched his paw with the tip of her tail. โTo freedom.โ
โTo freedom.โ He echoed.
Raven followed Goldenfur, Flamepelt, Thrushwhisker, Heatherbreeze and Juncopaw through the territory, eyes dropping. Heโd done his best to get on every patrol he could. His Mother was still out there, and he needed to find her. Somewhere Smoke was in the woods and she was probably looking for him, Crow and his dad. He wondered if sheโd had her second litter yet, or if she was still expecting. He yawned. It was going to be strange having little siblings. Crow had been born first and alway liked to lord it over him. He loved her nonetheless. She was very smart, having tracked him for a while noon on her own. Since his family had been shattered by two-legs heโd been looking for them one by one, hoping that someday things could go back to normal.
A touch on the shoulder from Heatherbreeze shocked him out of his trance and he looked up at the dilute torture she-cat. โYou alright Raven? Youโre practically asleep on your paws!โ She chuckled.
โYeah.โ He mewed. โJust didnโt get much sleep.โ
Heatherbreezeโs gaze softened. โWorrying about your mother?โ She mewed sympathetically. Raven nodded. โWell,โ she huffed, โfrom what youโve told me she sounds like one of the toughest cats ever.โ
Raven smiled. โYup.โ
โKind of like your dad then eh?โ She inquired.
Raven frowned. He didnโt like his father much. Shadow had always liked Crow more. Both his parents had been tough rogues and Crow was a natural born warrior. To Shadow, Raven was to scared to fight. โI guess.โ
โNot so sure about your old man, huh? Well if it helped my dad never really liked me either. Me and my brother werenโt really supposed to be born.โ Heatherbreeze admitted.
Raven looked over at her. โYou have a brother?โ He asked.
Heatherbreeze nodded. โHeโs dead. Or not. I donโt know. He went missing many moons ago.โ
โIโm so sorry.โ Raven mewed. He couldnโt imagine what it would be like if he lost Crow. She may be rough, but she was his sister, right?
Heatherbreeze shrugged and smiled again. โThatโs alright. Nothing I can really do about it now, eh?โ
Raven sighed. โYeah. Iโโ he was cut off by a yawn.
Heatherbreeze laughed. โHey, why donโt you finish that thought tomorrow? Iโm sure Goldenfur wonโt mind if I take you back to camp to get some rest.โ
Greywing walked through the undergrowth with Thrushwhisker. Her mate insisted on coming despite her protests and though Greywing was glad of the company she would have preferred to go alone.
โYou know I would have been fine on my own.โ She repeated. Thrushwhisker looked at her.
โMaybe yes, but youโre expecting kits, Iโm not taking any chances. Iโm not gonna lose you.โthe brown she-cat persisted. Greywing rolled her eyes, but she was grinning.
โFine.โ She chuckled. โLetโs go to the stream.โ
They walked together, discussing things quietly, like names for their kits, or whatnot when the two Mistyclan she-cats stopped.
โItโs so shallow.โ Thrushwhisker murmured, batting at the water with a forepaw. The stream had dried up significantly after so long without rain. She remembered The medicine catโs complaints of dead herbs and dry moss, but sheโd dismissed it so quickly. Now that she realized it she couldnโt stop. The ferns and grass were all shriveled and crispy at the edges. Sheโd seen greenleaf get hot but never like this.
โStrange.โ She murmured. Padding forwards she took a closer look at the stream. Itโs normal soothing babble had been reduced to a choked bubbling. Reaching out a paw, she barely grazed the surface of the water when her head flooded with strange images.
Burning cattails, the mists turned blood red around her, unnatural smells flooded her nose, deafening noises all around her. Everything moved so fast but she was hyperaware, like a squirrel, every detail magnified so much her head hurt and her vision swam. She was in unfamiliar woods, her heart beating so loud, fleeing. The sky was black with clouds and the grass beneath hr paws crumbled to dust. A deafening roar blocked out all her senses and a big yellow two-leg monster bore down on her, steel-trap jaws stretched wide.
โGreywing!โ Thrushwhisker shouted. Greywing blinked. She was lying on the ground, her mate standing over her, fear in her blue eyes.
โWhat happened?โ The gray queen asked, shaking violently.
โYou touched the water then you collapsed, shaking and writhing on the ground, hissing at nothing!โ Thrushwhisker stammered. Greywing tried to stand but her legs gave out, Thrushwhisker rushing forwards to catch her.
โLetโs get back to camp.โ Greywing said weakly.
Back in the medicine den, Greywing described her vision to Ridgepelt.
โWhat to you think it means?โ The gray and white medicine cat asked, looking slightly disturbed. Greywing took a shaky breath.
โIt means,โ Greywing swallowed. โThat a terrible danger like none we have ever know is coming to Mistyclan.โ She locked eyes with Ridgepelt, โ and it could destroy us all.โ
