Rabbitpaw padded away, looking over her shoulder.I regret my choice.I don't want to do this!I want to be like Cinderheart, And Birchcrest and Flowerheart.I want to have kits, not have to watch them die.I don't want to do this anymore!But I can't tell Sparkfern!What would she think of me?Foolish?Selfish?. Her mind swirled with thoughts as she padded away.Applekit nuzzled Hazelpaw.
~Lionstorm bounded off of the stump and charged down the hollow that lead to DawnClan camp.~
~Hazelpaw bolted out of the elders' den as a loud caterwaul resounded across camp:"Lilypool is kitting! Goldentail too!!!!" Kits! she thought jubilantly.~
~Lionstorm pushed his pulling muscles faster, faster, faster- just so he could go racing into camp as fast as a speeding deer and make a big entrance.~
~Hazelpaw poked her head into the nursery hesitantly. "May I come in?" She blissfully inhaled the warm, milky scent of new kits.~
~Hazelpaw pulled back as Goldentail let out a heart-broken wail. The beautiful, tiny golden kit and gray kit beside her belly were completely still. "Oh, no," she whispered and made her way to Goldentail's side and hung her head in shared grief. "StarClan, no!"~
~Hazelpaw looked up as Sparkfern leaped in and respectfully backed away, brushing her tail along Goldentail's flank in a vague gesture of comfort. Oh, poor, poor Goldentail! she cried to herself. And poor, poor kits!~
~Hazelpaw nuzzled Applekit lovingly and sadness clouded her gaze and clogged her throat.~
Golden tail yowled in agony.Her two kits were gone
~
Rabbitpaw raced in,"NO!"she shreaked and padded forward, and started to licked the kits.Her listened, they didnt breath, or move and they were cold,"Im so sorry, Goldentail.Cloudkit and Dawnkit are In StarClan.
"They are gone." Sparkfern meowed sadly.
~
Applekit wailed.
~
Lilypool nuzzled Goldentail.
Goldentail let her head drop,"No,"she cried,"NO!"her fear and sadness swept over her, making her agitated and angry,"Wy did StarClan do this?!?Its all there falt!"she yowled.
Sparkfern gestured with her tail to Rabbitpaw that they should leave and give Goldentail her space. She turned and padded back to her own den.
~
Goldentail cried softly.
~
Ravenkit yowled in hurt.She walked over to the two kits and softly licked them,"Im so sorry, Dawnkit, Cloudkit"she murmured,"I,would have done something if I could"
