// Warning: If your homophobic leave and never return many characters in this including a few of the main ones are LGBTQIA+ members! :D // Two young she-cats stood in the den together. “I know you want kits, Wildrose,” the small, silver one said, “but you know how it works, only a Tom and a she-cat can have kits.” The sandy-coloured she-cat looked down, almost saddened. “And I know that.” “I wish we could have kits too but I guess this nursery won’t get much use.” “Please, Cloudspirit, can we just forget about kits for a little bit,” Wildrose said. “Let’s go hunting! I know you love that!” Cloudspirit said, smiling at her mate. “Yeah, let’s go!” Wildrose said, her spirit suddenly lifting. The pair of them ran into the woods and began to crouch down, sniffing the air. She caught the smell of more cats. She signalled Cloudspirit over. The two crept towards where the strong smell was coming from. “Blood and cats?” Cloudspirit said. They walked forward and saw an injured she-cat who was laying on the ground with a litter of five kits suckling on her. The black she-cat was weak, her eyes were clouding over. “Are you alright?” Wildrose said, rushing to the she-cat’s side. The cat lay still breathing slowly. “At least tell us your name,” she said. “I’m Ashrain” she said in a rasping cough. “What can we do to help you?” Cloudspirit said. “It’s too late for me, the fox was too strong. I need you to take my kits. They must survive.” Ashrain said. “We will take them in and raise them ourselves,” she said. “Thank you,'' she replied, her breathing slowing. Cloudspirit and Wildrose picked up the kits, dipped their heads to Ashrain and said farewell. They brung the kits back to camp. “Featherfall,” Wildrose called into the med den. “Yes?” A deep male voice replied. “We found kits outside of camp, the mother was dead…” Cloudspirit said. “You need me to check up on them?” He said. “Yes. There are five of them.” Wildrose clarified. “Bring them in then,” Featherfall ordered. The pair brought the kits into the med den and placed them down on the moss bedding and let them suckle on Wildrose. “Three toms and two she-cats,” Featherfall told them. “I want to ask Honeystar if me and Wildrose can raise them as our own kits, of course Wildrose will stay in the nursery.” Cloudspirit said to Featherfall. “You should go ask him and I will stay here and keep an eye on Wildrose and the kits,” he said. She walked out of the den and over to VineRock. “Honeystar, may I speak with you in private?” “Well of course, Cloudspirit.” He said jumping down from VineRock. The two of them went into the leader’s den. They sat, the vines blocked out a lot of the light, casting shadows across the den. “Me and Wildrose have found kits in the forest, we saw the mother die,” she said, “and she told us to take the kits. Me and Wildrose want to raise the kits, as we could never have our own.” “You two can raise the kits,” he said with a nod. “Thank you,” she replied. She walked back to the medicine den and found Wildrose, “Honeystar has given us permission to raise the kits,” she said. “Oh yay!” Wildrose said cuddling the kits close and whispered to them, “Nothing will harm you.” “What will we call them?” She asked. “How about the small grey Tom can be Sootkit, the black Tom can be called Darkenedkit and the golden she-cat can be called Glowingkit. You can name the other two.” Wildrose said. “The gold and grey she-cat can be Goldenkit and the black and white spotted Tom can be Specklekit.” “We will love them all,” Wildrose said. “Of course!” Cloudspirit said.
