Flowetail laid in the nursery panting, for she was extremely nervous. This was her first litter, and they were coming very soon. Needlefur nervously licked her ear many times before quietly meowing, "Don't worry. None of them will die. If they inherited either of our strength, they will live."
Needlefur remembered the day when he and Flowetail had both caught greencough, when they were still loners and had just met. Within days, the cough had miraculously cleared, without any use of herbs. For many days after, both were extremely weak, though, and almost starved because they couldn't hunt. Then, one day, a wounded rabbit stumbled before him, and he swiftly killed it. Both ate and could move again, and all signs of the greencough that had once ailed them had disappeared.

About 3-4 hours later, there were 4 kits, happily nursing from Flowertail. They were named swiftly, as Flowertail had a knack for finding perfect names. She named her first kit Leafkit, for her colors looked like the leaves in leaf-fall. She named her second kit Cloudykit beacuse of his thick, gray swirls on a white pelt. Her third kit was named Mottledkit, for from afar he looked like a normal gray tabby, but up close you could see very faint orange splotches behind the stripes. Her last kit's personality gave her her name, as it was apparent as soon as they started nursing. She would not climb on the other kits, and waited for the others to nurse before she stepped to her mother's belly. She was a longhair tabby, and she was named Gentlekit. Flowertail looked kindly at her kits while they peacefully nursed. "They are beautiful... Needlefur, you are a father now, and I'm a mother." Her eyes sparkled and shone as she looked at her kits, never taking her eyes off of them, until they finally fell asleep. She watched for a few more seconds, and then she, too, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

((ooc: This post is a little while later, when kits have opened eyes and such.))
Flowertail woke up and smiled down at her kits. "My beautiful kits, it is time to wake up." Mottledkit and Cloudykit were the first to wake up, then Leafkit, then Gentlekit got up and stretched, mewing a soft tone as she yawned. They all turned around to nurse and... "Needlefur! Wake up! The kits' eyes are open!" Needlefur bounded over, astonished. "Look, Flowertail! Look at Leafkit's eyes! They're 2 colors, just like mine!" Flowertail looked down. "Yes they are. Come here little kits, its time you drank. You look starving."

Flowertail looked over. "Oh no! Gravelkit was... was lost in the battle, wasn't he?" Flowertail mourned along with Whitescale. She hated death, especially of the young and innocent. "He... he was so little. I'm so sorry, Whitescale. I'm so sorry."

"But... but why only your kits? All four of mine are still here, yet he took your last two?" Flowertail furiously meowed.
"Don't you think he would have rather had the 4 than the 2?"

"i think he didn't notice yours at the time since their eyes aren't open yet, mine are, and they would survive the journey to snakeclan where tour's would've died," Whitescale meowed," that's why he wanted mine..... and in don't have aklot so he could carry them.."

((ooc: actually, their eyes are open.))
"Actually, their eyes are open. They just must have been asleep, and Blacknight wanted to get out so quick he didn't notice." Then Mottledkit woke up. "Hey Mom. Why do you look so worried?" Flowertail replied, "It's nothing, honey. Be quiet so the others can sleep." She turned to Whitescale and whispered, "Hide Gravelkit's body. Mottledkit and him were best friends, and he'll be very upset to see Gravelkit's body. We have to wait to tell him until the others are awake. He'll be much less likely to run away if he has some comfort when he's told."
She then added, still whispering, "And I am very sorry about what happened. I... I would be so upset if that happened to my kits."

"Uh oh. I hope that Mottledkit didn't..." Flowertail was cut off by a quick "What?!" and looked to see a distressed Mottledkit. "What happened to Gravelkit?! That's what you're worried about, isn't it?! Where is he?!" Flowertail's ears immediately flattened in sadness and distress. "Honey, settle down... Please, settle down! We have to tell you when the others are up! Please... Settle down!"
Mottledkit then yowled back in anger, "Tell me what happened to my friend! Tell me RIGHT NOW!"

The other kits woke up to Mottledkit's yelling. Flowertail sadly meowed, "I guess I should tell you what happened now... At the gathering, Snakeclan had attacked. Their leader, Blacknight, came in here and took Snowkit and Gravelkit. One of the SnakeClan warriors, Greyfur, killed Gravelkit. I'm so sorry, Mottledkit. I'm so sorry. I didn't want to tell you so fast."
Anger was replaced by extreme sadness in Mottledkit's face. "My... my best friend... No! It isn't real! I'm still sleeping!" Gentlekit walked over to Mottledkit. "Brother, please! It's real. Mom wouldn't lie to us about something so sad. You know mom couldn't even handle something like that by herself. It has to be true." Mottledkit pressed against his Flowertail.
"My best friend... I'm going to become a warrior and kill Blacknight! I'll get him back for this! Its his fault!"

Feathertail looked at Greywing. He was obviously upset over his kit's death. She looked back to Mottledkit. "Hear that, dear? Greyfur is dead. Your friend's death was avenged." Flowertail meowed.
"It's not good enough! This is all Blacknight's fault!" Mottledkit replied. "I'll kill him when I grow up! I'll kill all of Snakeclan!"

"Speaking of kit transfers, in a couple of days some of you will be leaving. I still don't know who, but be prepared to have to leave, my kits." Flowertail meowed. Mottledkit padded over to his mother and purred. "Don't worry. We will all be ready to leave. Not without a couple of sad words, you know, but we'll still be able to handle it."

Flowertail woke up to hear happy meows outside. "Mottledkit, stay here." she mrrowed. She turned and looked at a saddened and angry Mottledkit. "It is not SnakeClan. Settle down. If it was, they would have come at midnight and be dead already." She walked outside to see Mosstar, three kits, and a very happy Whitescale.
