Nursery

[FIRESTRIPE ❥]

Shadowclan queens nursing or expecting kits make nests in this comfortable den. The wall is strong, and the bedding is changed often to make it comfortable. Freshkill is brought for the needy queens and kits by apprentices through the day.

[FIRESTRIPE ❥]

Frozentear slept in the nursery, she was worn out. Kits were tiring. She sighed and lifted her head, smiling as she saw her three kits by her side. The last thing she had of her mate. The thought of her mate made a sharp pain go through her heart, and she let her head drop to the ground. She closed her eyes, but she was to overwhelmed by memories, so she opened them. She had to get up, she had to get out of there, she had to go there. She held the tears back, but she could not hold the pain back. She glanced at her kits again, seeing Rippedkit a tear fell done her face. She got my flaws, she got everything I hate about myself, she has it all. She loved her, yet it was painful to look at her. She could not move, she could not leave her kits, yet she had to go there. She had to see that place. She knew it would make her break down, but she had to do it. She needed to be alone. She glanced around the nursery and seeing no one she remembered she had to stay there, but she did not know if she could. The pain had been building up for moons know, she had not had a chance to let it go, she usually did. As a mother she never would. Never. She did not know how she would or could live with this pain, she felt lost. She felt like she was drowning, just as he had.

The Tiny white tom with a Racoon tail was sleeping peacefully next to his mother She was keeping him warm. But When He felt her get up He stired and struggled to go after her. His tiny limbs not moving very fast. He began To Mew. calling for her. He was so young his eyes were not fully opened yet they wre more along the lines of squinting. He turned his tiny head from side to side. Searching for his mother. He had not heard her leave the den yet. So he mewed and called for her.

[FIRESTRIPE ❥]

Rippedkit jumped as she felt both her mother and her brother move. she scampered about, following her mothers scent, except she realized she was on-top her mother. She let out a squeal of surprise, and quickly scrambled off, scared of being scolded. She bumped into the side of the nursery and some of her fur got caught, she tried to claw it off but her little body wasnt ready for that kind of work. She felt her mother come up and take her by the scruff and set her between her litter-mates again. Her mother lay down and she crawled back towards her mother.

------------------------------------------

Frozentear sighed, she had gotten up to look outside longingly. She had laid back down, but then she felt a kit on-top her, than it got off. She opened her eyes and looked around felt a stab of pain as she saw Rippedkit. She had to get over this. When she realized Rippedkit was stuck, she quickly padded over and took her by the scruff, bringing her back to her siblings. She lay back down, sighing. She wondered if she would ever get a break from this, from mothering. Her mind flashed back to the day. The river, the angry river flowing so fast. Sweeping her heart down into...into what? She did not know. That is what she hated, that is why she needed to go there. She needed to find out where he had gone.

[Rascally]

Racoonkit. Felt his mother laying back down. and he squirmed over to get closer to her. He got next to her and snuggled into her fur Mewing For her attention. His claws were out And he was needing the nesting out infront of him. His hind legs were sprawled out behind him. He He Felt the presence of his other two littermates close to him. he was content now.

[Tiki]

The little it and had been disturbed when her mother decided to move. She had meowled a bit and then when her mother lay back down she snuggled closer. She gave a little meow of content and she snuggled in closer to her mother's warm body, finding that Rippedkit and Racconkit were already snuggled in close. She sighed with contentment as she searched for a teat. She began to suckle and lapped up the warm nourishment eagerly.

[Rascally]

Racoonkit, mewed Softly. now that his family was all together again. He snuggled closer to his two sisters and mother. His eyes were just barely starting to open now. He finished nursing and closed his eyes. He was warm and content now.

[FIRESTRIPE ❥]

Frozentear could not help a little smile watching her kits, she loved them dearly. She wanted to stay and protect them. She gave each of her kits a lick in turn, right on the top of their heads, between their ears. She sighed and rested her head on her paws, wondering what would happen next. She was exhausted, still, and she soon fell asleep. Her breath was even, calm, peaceful.

---

Rippedkit was happy that she had her mother and litter-mates to keep her warm, she let herself fall back asleep, she could not wait till she was old enough to explore the rest of her clans camp, it was something she desperately wanted to learn about. At the same time she wanted to stay put where it was warm and safe.

[Seriouspudding]

Gazethorn walked into the nursery and puffed out his chest in authority, but trying not to scare the kits with his frosty yellow eyes.
''Are all of the kits okay?'' he asked the queen and suddenly felt an itch, but tried not to scratch it, because he would look foolish and wierd, if he batted his nose randomly.

[FIRESTRIPE ❥]

Frozentear glanced up as she smelled a warrior enter the nursery. "They are pretty good" she sighed and waited for a response, she watched the warrior intently, she did not know what to think, what to do. She was a bit confused and groggy. She had just woken up. She glanced at her kits, they all seemed to be sleeping. Everything is ok. she thought, but it something felt a bit...wrong. That was a usual feeling since that day. She felt the normal flash of pain.

[Rascally]

Racoon kit heard someone entering the den He felt his siblings sleeping. And he struggled to open his eyes. He was at the age where his eyes would be just starting to open.He mewed and scrambled closer to his mother. His tiny ears flicked back again as Fly and two other warriors came into the Den.And the smell of new Kits overwhelmed his nostrils and He mewed again.

Ghost followed after Fly Carrying Cyotekit in her jaws she set him down next to his brother And looked at the queen. Waiting her response to What fly had asked her.
