*Markspirit padded out of camp to see Wake. Her kits would come any day, and he wanted to be there. He raced ahead, and soon saw Wake. She smiled at him, though she was panting. Her fur was plastered against her pelt from the rain that had just happened, and sweat. Markspirit's eyes widened.*
Are you okay!?
*Wake shook her head, and mouthed. Kits. Markspirit nodded, and got some dry moss. He made a bed, and Wake collapsed on it. She panted, and winced as contractions went through her. Then, a kit slid out. It was a silver tom. Markspirit licked it clean, then as he was placing the kit beside Wake, her eyes widened in horror. She yowled in pain, as a fresh flood of pain ripped through her. A small she-kit, that was silver, and brown, slipped out. Markspirit grabbed the kit, just as a wave of blood came from Wake. She breathed heavily. That was her last kit. What was wrong?*
Wake!? What's wrong!?
*Wake stared with wild eyes at markspirit. He quickly cleaned the kit off, before pressing his cheek to hers.*
Wake... come on... you're strong. Everything's going to be okay. I'll always be here for you. Please... please...
*Markspirit started to cry.*
I love you Wake.
*He looked into her eye. She smiled, then grimaced in pain. Her eyes were watery, and she mouthed a few words. I love you Markspirit... Then, her eyes started to dull. Markspirit licked her fur.*
No! No! Wake! Please don't die! Please! Please! Please!
*But, Markspirit knew it was hopeless. Wake, was gone. Markspirit lifted his head, and yowled to all of StarClan. Markspirit hung his head, and weeped. He would have stayed like that, if the kits hadn't started mewling. His eyes flew open, and he stared at the kits. He picked up the she-cat first, and mumbled.*
Wakekit...
*He closed his eyes in pain, then picked up the silver tom.*
Bladedkit...
*He placed the two kits somewhere dry, and dug out a hole. He gently placed Wake in, burying her. He then moved a rock of the spot. He looked at the grave, and closed his eyes in loss, before taking the kits back to camp.*
:~~Markspirit, Wake:
*Markspirit padded in. The two kits were mewling hungrily. Dreamstar looked up from the prey she was eating, and padded over to where Markspirit had just placed the kits. He looked at her with sadness.*
Markspirit... what... happened?
*Markspirit looked at the ground, as tears sprung to his eyes. He choked out.*
Wake... she's... she's...
*Markspirit was unable to finish, for he didn't want to believe it. Dreamstar's eyes filled with sorrow.*
Oh Markspirit... I'm so sorry....
*She rested her tail on his shoulder, when suddenly Markspirit looked at the kits. he whispered in a hoarse voice from crying.*
The she-cat... is... Wakekit.
*He choked out the name*
The tom is Bladedkit...
*Dreamstar nodded.*
Go rest. You can be off of warrior duties right now. I'll get Bluegaze to mentor Shadowedpaw right now. Don't worry. And I'll get a queen to look after them... Coastpebble can.
*Markspirit nodded, and padded towards the Warrior's Den, his head low with sorrow. Dreamstar picked up the two kits, and brought them to the Nursery.*

(BuzzGirl... NO ONE knew Markspirit loved Wake 'cept for Dreamstar, and maybe Strongpaw. And NO other cats KNEW what Wake was like... except Markspirit, MAYBE Nestflame, and MAYBE Strongpaw.... :/ )
*Sunnypaw padded through the territory, her paws dragging. Her eyes had a hidden look of anger, and longing. She scowled under her breath.*
I hate clan life! It's so annoying! 'Clean the Elder's bedding. Feed the Elder's first. Go on a patrol. Hunt for the clan. Before you eat check the Elder's for ticks. Bring Dreamstar some food. Bring the Queen's food. bring Nestflame food.' It's so stupid! Before, I only had to worry about Icycurrent, Rosepaw, and my siblings!!
*Sunnypaw scowled.*
I want to leave!
:~~Sunnypaw:
Wrenpaw looked at Mapleberry "Can we go hunting?!?" she purred. Mapleberry nodded. Wrenpaw was doing very well in her first few training sessions, she learned battle moves quickly, and hunted well "Why don't you ask your littermates if they want to come?"
Wrenpaw nodded and ran off to Rushpaw and Owlpaw "Wanna go hunting?"
Owlpaw and Rushpaw nodded all three padded over to Berrypaw and Sky "You guys wanna come hunting with us?"
Berrypaw shook her head "Naw, me and Sky were going to go practise battle moves, maybe later,"
Wrenpaw sighed and nodded. She padded over to Mapleberry and the four cats padded out
~-~LotsaCats~-~
Wrenpaw stood still listening to the scents of the forest, she heard a vole rustling in the bushes, she crouched down and began to pad silently toward the bush. She heard a loud crack, she had stepped on a twig, the vole made a run for it, in desperation Wrenpaw lunged for it, her teeth snapped in the air and inch away from the vole "Fox-dung!" she growled
~-~Wrenpaw~~
Rushpaw leapt up snatching a starling it her claws, she sunk them in deep. She felt it go limp and she felt pride surge through her
~-~Rushpaw~-~
Owlpaw chased after a squirrel he leapt up catching it in his jaws,
~-~Owlpaw~-~
Mapleberry padded over to the apprentices, Rushpaw had caught a juicy looking starling and a small mouse. Owlpaw had caught a squirrel. She looked over at Wrenpaw, who's jaws were empty "You'll have better luck next time Wrenpaw," Mapleberry encouraged. Her apprentice shrugged padding back to camp. Mapleberry put her two fish on the fresh-kill pile, while Owlpaw and Rushpaw put their fresh-kill on. Owlpaw and Rushpaw were trying to cheer up Wrenpaw, who looked dissapointed she hadn't caught anything. "Come on Wrenpaw, We'll go swimming, you love swimming!" Rushpaw encouraged
Wrenpaw nodde looking slightly happier and raced off with her littermates. Mapleberry sighed sitting next to Birchstorm "How's the training?"
"It's good, yours?"
"Fleckpaw is doing well,"
Mapleberry nodded sighing
~-~Mapleberry~-~
Bluepaw scampered away from the bustling camp, still a little overwhelmed by Clan life. He searched through the forest, hoping to find someone, or something. He opened his mouth to scent the air quickly. Huh? Sunnypaws somehere close to here! Bluepaw burst through the bushes to find his sister.
"You okay?`" Bluepaw breathed as he sat up.
<>*Bluepaw*<>
Rosepaw paced back and forth, getting a little impatient.
"Why can't we just go! You look fine enough! We haven't seen them in over a moon!" Rosepaw complained. She knew Icycurrent knew who 'them' was.
