Pain shot through her. Her eyes widened her vision blurred. With a thud she landed on the grass her body curled as waves of pain pulsed through her. The tom she was once yowling at was watching her in shock and fear. Hamlet ran over in a panic his eyes searching over her as Silvers face shown with pain as yowls of pain left her mouth. A pool of red started to surround her "T-This was never meant to happen," Hamlets voice shook as his claws dug into the ground. With a broken voice she looked at him, tears glossing over her eyes but she had a small smile, "Its ok...just try and save my kits" she said with a weak smile. Hamlet took a deep breath before nodding and running off to get cobwebs. Silvers mind flooded as she felt blood pool around her. "Please...not them...not them" she begged to the stars above, "They are all I have...I cant lose them...I lost so many people....Please Blaze..." she cried as a tear fell down her cheek. A moment later she let out a loud yowl, a heat roared over senses. She gritted her teeth as a kit slipped out, with a few deep breaths she leaned down and picked them up. Licking softly she saw its dark pelt with the color of bright flames covering its body. With tears in her eyes she brings it close to her. "Flarekit..." she whispers softly to him. Hamlet ran back into the clearing and gasped at the sight of the tiny kit pressed close to her, blood covering its pelt. Another spike shot through her and she clamped her mouth shut. With a sharp flash another kit eased out. Hamlet now sitting down in front of her took her kit and started to lick it softly, "Songkit," she whispered as she pulled the kit towards her and made the tiny she-kit rest close to her sibling. Closing her eyes her body shook, Hamlet watched her guilt pulling at him, he caused this, all this pain, he thought his eyes glassing over. She let out a loud cry making the tom snap out of it. Placing a paw on her side he whispered soft words to her as her breath heavy.
With one more yowl another kit fell into the blood. Hamlet leaned over and picked up the kit, placing it gentle in front of him he licked the kit, the taste of copper filling his tongue but it didn't bother him as much as the fear of these kits dying because of him. From where her head rested Silver spoke, “Honeykit…” she said looking at him with a small smile. “That's perfect,” he whispered as he placed the kit next to her siblings. Her vision blurred as pain shot though her. The black she-cat that stood in the shadows watched her with sorrow and sympathy. She could relate to the small cat kitting like that was painful and she knew that instead of the kits she wouldn't make it. “And there's nothing we can do?” The golden tom said as he looked at the she-cat. She shook her head, “No...there's only enough time for us to save one and you heard her…” her ears lowered, “She wants the kits to live…” Silver yowled out her body curling as her claws cut at nothing. The world seemed to freeze as the pain was finally over but she knew it wasn't over. Hamlet rested a golden tom next to her belly. “They’re all healthy,” he said his ears lowered. The brim of her eyes darkened as her eyes grew heavy, “Take care of them till I wake up, ok?” she mumbled before her eyes shut. Sleep would help. But the next time she opened her eyes she was standing, she looked around to find Blazepaw walking over making her gasp. “Hornet...b-but how?” she asked in disbelief as she took a step forward. Small stars shimmer in his pelt and sadness was darkening his eyes. “Silver...i'm so sorry,” he said as he looked down. Silver was about to ask what he meant before she looked down to see her body. A gasp left her mouth and that's when she knew, she didn't wake up. She saw Hamlet there shaking her with tears running down his face as he yowled at her to wake up. Tears feel down her face, “N-No...I can't be dead…” she whispered as she looked down at her sleeping face, she looked so peaceful. Blazepaw walked over and held her close, “I'm so sorry Silver…” he said hugging her closely. She started sobbing, her body shaking, “But our kits! I can't be dead, I need to be there for them!” she sobbed loudly. Blazepaw pulled her closer as he whispered soft words to her. Silver’s body shook as she looked up at her kits, “Will they be ok?...” she whispered. Blaze looked at the kits, “Yes,” he whispered, “Our kits...they really are perfect,” he spoke softly as he nuzzled her softly. Silver nodded slowly, “Yea…”she said her ears lowering. Blaze looks at her, “I know you won't be able to raise them but...you can still watch them up in the stars with me Silver” he spoke softly to her. Silver looked at her kits for a moment later. She still had so much to do. So many things to say. Her words will never be heard. She looked at Blaze with tears in her eyes, “Ok...let's go” she said as she stood. Blaze curled her tail around hers and they both walked to starclan.
