——-

Rain crashed against the roof of the medicine den, Swirltail laying on a moss nest covered in rips that she had caused from her anxiety. She came into the den a couple hours ago, not feeling well, and next thing she knew? Kits. Cottoncatcher told her she needed to stay there for the night. She kneaded her claws into the moss again, listening to the roar of distant thunder as she faded in and out of being awake, struggling to really pay attention to anything around her. Was it supposed to be like this?

Next thing she knew, she awoke to mewling and Cottoncatcher, who’s expression made her heart drop. He glanced downwards, and exhaled softly; Speaking the words she prayed she never had to hear.“I’m sorry.. I tried all I could, but.. Only one made it.”

She glanced down, feeling her throat tighten and her body tremor with tears that struggled to fall. Two bodies were still, one squirming and mewling as they snuggled next to her- Their pelt as dark as the stormy sky above. “..May I.. At least name them before they’re buried?” She meowed weakly, voice trembling as she struggled not to sob. “Of course.” Cottoncatcher’s smooth, silver pelt blocked out the light, shadowing over her kits- She gently moved the two stillborns into the sunlight, whispering name ideas softly- Occasionally she’d see Cottoncatcher nod in approval of a name, his bronze eyes littered with mixed emotions; Sympathy, pity? She couldn’t tell nor could she care.

Eventually, the two kits- she settled on the names Dustkit and Joykit for them, -were taken out of the den for burial, and finally she felt herself break. Quiet yet echoing around the den, her sobs filled her ears as she cradled her little survivor in her paws. She forced a small smile at the similarities between them and her friends and family, debating names. So many ideas swirled in her mind- She considered Coalkit after one of her lost friends, but shook her head as she remembered how foolish they all were as apprentices- And his mother was still alive in the elder’s den, it’d be cruel to her to name a kit that looked like him with such a name. Perhaps Nightkit? Was that too basic?

She debated between names for the rest of the day, and through the night. Nobody ever told her naming a single kit would be this tough!Despite this she sighed contently, looking back at her little kit. They were peacefully sleeping next to her, and she finally decided on a name for them; She’d likely discuss it with her clanmates later, to get their opinion. Even if their father couldn’t help her decide, it takes a clan to raise a kit- At least, that’s what she learnt. As she closed her eyes to rest, something in her head prompted her to look at her kit.

And as she turned, her heart dropped again and she froze as a sudden shock hit her, desperately avoiding the instinct to yelp in fear. Their eyes were open, full of curiosity- At least, as open as they could make them, and they were a bright yellow that gleamed in the darkness of the nursery.

The kit had Lunarpaw’s eyes.

This wasn’t that fun for me to write but here, Swirltail being tormented by the horrors! (I haven’t decided a name for the kit lol)

Something bad? Something good, hoping it will ward off ‘evil?’

What if she gave the kit a normal name around others but bad names when they’re alone?

Coalpaw has officially evolved into coalgem

[moths-wc-aus]

a basic (beginning) idea of what WindClan AU is

I have an idea of what WC AU will become farther down the line, but those are all spoilers, so I won’t be talking about those here.  This is just a basic idea of the first few changes within the AU.

1. Jake decided to live in WindClan with Tallstar.

Obviously, it took a while before he was a trusted member (and some cats are still less than happy about there being a kittypet in their midst), but he eventually earned his warrior name, Russetstep.  He’s admitted to Tallstar that he misses his old twoleg sometimes, but he can’t imagine going back.

2. Deadfoot isn’t deputy.

In fact, Deadfoot is in StarClan.  I have nothing against Deadfoot personally, I just really wanted Jake/Russet to become deputy, and I felt that Tallstar would choose Deadfoot first.  So, Deadfoot did become deputy (for a short while, at least), but ended up catching greencough (a few months after Firepaw and his siblings came to the Clan) and passed away.  The deputy position was passed on to Russetstep, and despite the initial grumblings from some Clan members, he’s done well so far.

3. Firepaw, Kindlepaw, and Coalpaw.

Firepaw (Firestar), Kindlepaw (Princess), and Coalpaw (I just like the number 3, okay???) were found along the border during the dead of winter.  It was actually Jake/Russet who found them on patrol, and, noticing that they were nine-week-old kits, he brought them back to WindClan and convinced Tallstar to let him keep them.  Russet and Tall actually ended up becoming their adopted dads.

4. Adoptive moms??

Fire, Kindle, and Coal don’t actually have any adoptive moms... sort of.  See, since they were nine weeks upon being found, they no longer needed any milk, and could eat solid foods.  This meant there was no need for a queen to nurse them or baby them.  There was, however, a need for someone to keep an eye on them, so that duty was taken up by all the queens in the nursery (plus some warriors; Spottedhare probably came the closest to being called "mom").  Fire, Kindle, and Coal just sort of... hopped nests.  They picked who they wanted to sleep next to that night, then curled up in the nest and slept.

5. A ThunderClan change!

I decided that instead of Bluefur giving her kits away to become deputy, she would tell Sunstar of her fears about Thistleclaw.  He was a bit resistant to it at first, but trusted Bluefur, and so kept a close eye on Thistleclaw.  He came to the same conclusion as her; Thistleclaw would not make a good deputy.  Instead, he made Bluefur deputy in spite of the fact she had kits, and Mistykit, Stonekit, and Mosskit stayed ThunderClan and became warriors (Mistycloud, Stoneskip, and Mossflower).  They still don’t know about their father, though ;)

That’s pretty much all I can share for now without spoiling a bunch of stuff!  I’ll see when I can next update...

side note; it’s 2am, i’ve got school tomorrow, and i’m so ridiculously nauseous from eating swedish fish :/
