Story (It's kind of long): Grief weighed down Wrenflight's fur despite the brightness of the morning. She was in a secluded hollow she had found a long time ago as an apprentice. (Long time, meaning about 5 moons) She could already feel t he weight of the kits in her belly, yet she had no mate. No mate that live din her Clan, at least... "Where is he?" she muttered. The only thought she had in her head was *How can i be pregnant? I'm barely a warrior!* The summer sun filtered into the hollow/ Bees flew lazily around outside, as if dreading another day of work. Suddenly, a shadow slammed into Wrenflight. She screeched and instinctively lashed out her paw, landing a hard blow on something. "Ow!" moaned a familiar voice. "Ashclaw!" purred Wrenflight. Her worries melted away as the gray tabby tom licked her ears and purred as well. Wrenflight stopped. She had been nuzzling his ear when she caught the scent of blood. She took a step back. "Ashclaw! You have more wounds then when I last saw you!" Ashclaw growled. "I know. It's from the rouges." he mewed grimly. "Rouges! Are you okay? Are they causing you problems?" Wrenflight's eyes betrayed worry. "No, no need to worry about me. I taught them who was boss. Well, with a little help." he said briskly, seeming to want to change the subject. "Anyway, how are you?" Wrenflight shuffled her paws, not answering. Ashclaw looked concerned. "Are you okay? Is something wrong?" His bright green eyes were flecked with worry. "I'm having kits!" burst out Wrenflight. "Kits! This is- this is amazing!" Ashclaw said excitedly. Wrenflight's guilt faded away to be placed by doubt. Maybe it was good news. After all, the father was the cat she loved! "But who will I say is the father?" Wrenflight asked. "Hmm... good point. You could always not tell, or say it's Jayfoot. He likes you, right?" Ashclaw smiled like it was all worked out. "O-ok." Wrenflight forced a smile, and rubbe dher head on Ashclaws. "Well, I have to go. Need to watch out for those rouges. See you in a few days! And don't worry. Our kits will be the best." Ashclaw turned to walk back in the forest. "Bye!" called Wrenflight, before turning to walk back to camp. All her worry, guilt and misgivings had melted away, just like that. No cat would ever know that the real father of her kits was and exiled warrior... right?
So she ends up having the kits, and before then, tells Jayfoot that he is the father. Of course he is very excited. A little later, still before she has kits, Jayfoot is killed in a fight with rouges, and the rest of the cats from the fight that are warriors come back and tell them the Ashclaw was leading, and then tell them that Ashclaw was killed. Wrenflight was devastated. She had two kits, both males. The first she named Coalkit, and she never told any cat that Coal was her codeword for Ash. The second kit she named Jaykit, because after Jayfoot died, she felt horrible about lying to him, and not really loving him. Besides, other cats would think that she named him that to honor his father.
So yeah, this is my entry. I hope you enjoy it! It was very fun making up the story and cat. Thanks
