Birdfeather's Life

By Pinksky777

## Prolog

Spot was coughing, really hard. She tried to get her two back legs to get up. But she just collapsed on the wet, hard forest floor. "Mommy..." she croaked. "Dad-" before she could finish, she blacked out. It had been two hours since Spot had awoken. When she did, there was a cougar, glancing over her. "Hello little one. Are you ok?" the cougar said. Spot opened her eyes, from the sound of it, it was a female. "Ye-yea." she hesitated. "Are you lost?" She questioned. "Mhm." Spot was still croaking, in the highest pitched croak. "Come here. Oh, and by the way, i'm Oakclaw, a queen of Stormclan." she said. Spot reconized the word "Queen" and "Clan". Oakclaw picked Spot up by the scruff. She brought her to a camp, a clan camp. Oakclaw went into a den, still holding her. Oakclaw set Spot down and started talking to a black jaguar. "Moony, i found this kit in the wild while i was looking for softer moss-bed." she said. "Oh. This is the first, and probably last, time we have found a kit in the wild! Whats its sent?" The jaguar asked. "Clawmoon." Oakclaw replied. Moony knew what had happened, why Clawmoon had been sneaking out. To see her mate. "Oakclaw, do you know what this means?" Moony asked. "Yea..." Oakclaw replied. "Oakclaw, we must keep this a secret. Dont tell ANY cat you know, not even you closet family, friends, or Otter." Moony said, looking and Spot. "Little kit, whats you name?" Moony asked. "I dont know." Spot said. "Well, you should be known as Feather." Moony said.

## Chapter 1

Welcome to Feather's world!

“Feather!” yelled out Oakclaw. “Yes momma?” she replied. “Do you know where your father is?” asked Oakclaw. “I think he’s talking with Moonstar.” Feather said. “Thanks.” “Your welcome.” Feather giggled and ran over to Fox, the newest member of the clan. He was a Bengal Tiger. She was a Cheetah. “Hey Feather!” said Fox. “Hey Fox.” she said. “May all cats old enough to catch their own prey come join us today for a clan meeting.” said Moony in a deep, smooth voice. Everyone came. Accept for kits though. She looked at Otter and nodded. Otter grabbed Feather and Fox by the scruff and brought them up to the Highrock. “Stay here, don't be scared.” Otter whispered in both of their ears. “Ok daddy.” said Feather. “These two kits are now six moons. Until they have earned their warrior names they will be called Featherpaw and Foxpaw.” said Moony. “Foxpaw’s Mentor will be Otter.” Otter nuzzled Foxpaw. “And Featherpaw’s mentor will be me.” Moony nuzzled Birdpaw. “Birdpaw! Foxpaw! Birdpaw! Foxpaw! Birdpaw! Foxpaw! Birdpaw! Foxpaw!” everyone shouted.  Featherpaw and Foxpaw were so happy that they were apprentices now. Featherpaw was extra happy because her own leader was her mentor. Moony jumped off the highrock to dismiss the clan. Otter, Featherpaw, and Foxpaw all jumped off the highrock at the same time. Otter went to see Leafpaw. Featherpaw and Foxpaw both went to the nearest pond. They looked at each other and blushed a little.

## Chapter 2

Training Time

Featherpaw just stared at the water. Both of their ears perked up. Otter and Moony were coming towards them. “Featherpaw, how about you try to catch a fish.” said Moony. Moony walked towards the water and stared at it. “See that shadow? That's a fish.” Moony’s jaw opened. She snatched the fish from the water and bit it with her sharp teeth. It was dead from one bite of a tooth. “I will save this. Remember the warrior code. Before you eat your share, bring the prey you caught to the prey pile and don't eat it.” said Moony. Otter did the same thing, only he caught a really big fish, almost as big as Foxpaw. “Come on Featherpaw, let's go look at the Sycamore Tree.” Moony padded off instantly. Featherpaw followed her whispering under her breath, “By Foxpaw.” Featherpaw suddenly saw a super huge tree. She was going so fast that she crashed into it. “OOF!” She said crashing into the tree. “You ok?” asked Moony, laughing a little. “Im.. ugh… fine.” Featherpaw replied, shaking her head. Featherpaw looked up and stared at the Sycamore tree. “Whoah…” she whispered,”What is this…?” “That Featherpaw, is the Sycamore tree. Did you know that centuries ago this territory that we have used to be Thunderclan’s?” said Moony. Featherpaw gasped. “Really?” “Yes, really. Wildstar used to tell that all the time.” said Moony. “Who’s Wildstar?” Featherpaw asked. “Wildstar was the second leader of Stormclan. Foreststar was the first.' Moony said, looking up at the tree."Whoa..." Featherpaw whispered.

"Well, lets get back to camp. Its almost moonhigh."Moony sighed. They both quickly padded back to camp. Featherpaw ran to the apprentice den. She looked for Foxpaw, over all of the few other apprentices. "Extra training i guess." Featherpaw sighed. She walked over to the mossbed in the dark, cold corner. Foxpaw came back a few hours later. When he went into the apprentice den, Featherpaw had already fallen asleep. He just sat right next to her. Looking at her black ear and her blue feather on it. Soon he fell asleep. Before he did, he curled his tail around Featherpaw's and smiled. Then he finally fell asleep.

## Chapter 3

Love is in The Air

"Foxpaw! FoxPAW!! FOXPAW!!!" Featherpaw yelled out. "Yea Featherpaw?" He said, popping his head out of the den. "I NEED to tell you something!" she screeched. "Yea? What is it?" he replied. Featherpaw was breathing really fast. "Ok..." she sighed, taking a deep breath."We... were becoming..." she waited for a few seconds. "Warriors." Foxpaws eyes widened. *This is the moment! This is the time to tell her!* he thought. Featherpaw stared at him. *What am i going to do!? He probably already arranged being mates with another apprentice.* she thought. "Featherpaw, i need to tell you something." Foxpaw said. "I need to tell you something, too. Lets, say it at the same time." she replied. "Ok." he said. "Lets to it." she told him.

"One"

"Two"

"Three!"

""I want to be your mate when were warriors!""Featherpaw stared at him. Foxpaw did the same, only at her. They both smiled, and blushed. Then, they heard Moony's call. "May all cats old enough to catch their own prey join us today for a clan meeting." everyone ran up to the Highrock. Its been a few moons since Featherpaw and Foxpaw became warriors. "The time has come that two apprentices have been trained well for a few moons. And in every apprentices life, its time for the real journey, to begin. Featherpaw, Foxpaw, come up please." Moony said. Featherpaw walked up fastly, while Foxpaw ran straight past her. "Foxpaw, Oakclaw has trained you well, i hope to see you doing those things he has taught you. Foxpaw, by the power of Starclan, your warrior name will be Fox. You are now a full warrior of Stormclan." Moony smiled at him and then looked at Featherpaw. "Featherpaw, you have been trained well by me. I hope to see you using the tools and tactics i have taught you. Featherpaw, by the power of Starclan, your warrior name will be Feather. You are now a full warrior of Stormclan." she smiled at Feather and looked at the crowd. "Fox! Feather! Fox! Birdfeather!" the crowd went on and on. Feather and Fox just stared at each other. Moony growled, signaling the clan that the meeting was over. Feather and Foxclaw ran to the arch entrance. It was covered with trees, so they ran behind the thickest one. They were blushing, really, really blushing. "Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, there are plenty other cats that want you, that are better than me." Birdfeather said, worried. "Uh... no! NONE of them are better than you. I mean, they may be stronger, they may, hunt better. They may smell better than you, but i dont car-" beofre Foxclaw could finish, Birdfeather interrupted. "You forgot faster."She said. "Birdfeather, your a cheetah. Are you that stupid? Your faster than ME!" Foxclaw replied. "I-i w-wasn't th-thinking." she said, looking at her paws. Foxclaw couldn't hold it any longer. *Thats it! I need to do it!* he thought. He ran up to her and lifted her head up with his paw. Then he put his paw down, and he put his nose against hers. They finally knew, that they were ready to be mates.

## Chapter 4

Kits; Wait, just one?

"F-Foxclaw!!!" Birdfeather yelled out. "H-Hurry!!!" "Im coming! So is Thistleleaf!" Foxclaw yelled back, running in the den with Thistleleaf. "I'm here. Birdfeather, bite down on this." Thistleleaf, the medicine cat, said, breathing hardly. Thistleleaf gave Birdfeather a thick, long stick to chew on. **1 hour later...** "Foxclaw, you can come in now." Thistleleaf said, looking outside the den. Foxclaw came running up to Birdfeather. "Shes..." he couldn't think of any words to say. "Beautiful?" Birdfeather asked. "Y-Yea, that." They post started looking at the kit. She was orange, with black spots around her. "What should we name her?" Birdfeather asked. "Sparrowkit." Foxclaw replied. "Sparrowkit..." Birdfeather mummbled. "I like it! Little one, you are now Sparrowkit." **1 moon later...** Sparrowkit was tired, really tired. she had been playing around all day with her kit-friends. "Momma?" she yawned. "Can i please... take a nap?" she said, exhausted. "Anytime sweetie, anytime." Birdfeather said, smoothly. Sparrowkit collapsed right next to her mother's nice, warm, comfy belly. She curled up and went to sleep. Birdfeather sighed, looking at Sparrowkit. *I cant believe i already have a mate, and a kit.* She thought, really pumped up. She yawned. When she was about to rest, Foxclaw came in the den. "Hey Birdfeather." she said quietly, walking towards her. "Hi Foxclaw." she replied. "So, hows the little orange doin?" Foxclaw asked. "Shes fine, she spent all day playing, eating, playing, eating, and on and on." she said, really smooth. "Hm. You gonna rest soon? He asked. "Mhm." Birdfeather replied. Foxclaw want bhind her and Sparrowkit, then he lied down behind her. Birdfeather turned her head to look at him, then smiled. She put her head down and closed her eyes. Foxclaw did the same. **3 moons later...** Foxclaw and Sparrowkit went into a meadow. They played, Sparrowkit tackled Foxclaw half the time, they played hide and seek, they did lots of fun things. Sparrowkit was just biting a flower, when Foxclaw looked up. He saw a hawk, heading straight for Sparrowkit. "SPARROWKIT!!!" Foxclaw yelled out, jumping at the hawk.

## Chapter 5

She's Dead

"SPARROWKIT!!!" Foxclaw yelled out, jumping at the hawk. "Daddy? What wro-" "AHHHHH!!!!!!! DADDY!!!!!!!!" Sparrowkit cried out, getting carried by the hawk. "SPARROWKIT!!!" Foxclaw cried. He jumped, trying to get her. He got her paw, but then it slipped. He collapsed to the ground, blacking out. "Daddy!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!" Sparowkit yelled out, crying. Soon, Foxclaw felt blood drips on him, falling from the sky. Then, he fully blacked out. **2 hours later...** "Ah... ugh..." Foxclaw croaked, getting up. 'Sp-Sparrowkit...!" he tried to yell. "N-No..." he blacked out again, he couldn't help it. **3 hours later...** "Foxclaw!" Foxclaw heard a she-cat calling for him. "Foxclaw!!!" the voice got louder and louder. "Foxclaw." The she-cat said, looking at him. "Foxclaw... are you ok?" she whispered in his ear, smoothly. "W-Who are you...?" he asked, his eyes still shut. "Its Birdfeather. Are you ok." she whispered again, laying down next to him."Sparrowkit... she..." Foxclaw said, croaking. "Where is Sparrowkit. She what." Birdfeather kept whispering into his ear, trying to calm him down. "She's dead." Foxclaw said. "What..." Birdfeather whispered, looking up at the sky. "How is she dead?" she asked. "Hawk..." he replied, blacking out again. "Foxclaw? Foxclaw!" Birdfeather cried "Dont you dare black out on me again!" It was to late, he already did.

"Foxclaw, Foxclaw are you awake?" Moonstar said, looking at him. "Birdfeather, go get Mapleleaf." "Ok." Birdfeather replied. "Mapleleaf!" she called out, running into the camp. "We need you." "Ok, where is he?" Mapleleaf asked. "In the middle of the forest, follow me." Birdfeather said, running into the forest again. "Foxclaw. Your gonna be ok." Birdfeather said, laying down next to him again. "Birdfeather, if i die. Just know that i will always love you." Foxclaw said, his eyes opened, staring at her gleaming purple eyes. "Foxclaw. Your NOT going to die. NOT under my condition!" She said, tearing up. Foxclaw smiled at her. "I know you wont..." he whispered. **1 day later...** "Foxclaw, is Sparrowkit really dead?" Birdfeather asked. "Yes! For the last time yes!" he yelled out. "Foxclaw! Whats wrong with you!?" Birdfeather yelled at him. "Your the problem! That kit, Emberkit, is the problem!" He yelled back. Birdfeather had just had a new kit the day after Sparrowkit died. "You know what, Foxclaw? If were mates, then WHY are you yelling at me and your newborn kit like it was OUR fault Sparrowkit died! Because its not! Its no-ones fault!" Birdfeather yelled out. "Because... b-becau-" Foxclaw hesitated. Before he could finish Birdfeather interrupted. "I DONT want to hear it! Your just going to make an exuse! Lets go Emberkit." Birdfeather growled, walking off with Emberkit. Emberkit looked back at Foxclaw. "By daddy." she mumbled. Foxclaw growled at her and went into the deputy den.

## Chapter 6

He Regretted It

Birdfeather was sitting down, all by herself. With Emberkit already Emberclaw, Foxclaw hating her, and the only hunter in the clan, she was the most depressed thing on earth. Foxclaw all a sudden came in to the hunter den. Birdfeather was facing the den wall. But Foxclaw didn't care. "Still the only hunter?" he whispered into her ear, laying down behind her. "Nope." Birdfeather sighed. "Well at least you have a lead hunter, thats your dad. I dont even have a dad." Foxclaw said. Birdfeather sighed again. "You know, i regretted how i treated Emberclaw all these years." Foxclaw sighed, licking Birdfeathers head. "I always hoped you would tell me the truth for once. And im glad you did." Birdfeather said, still looking at the wall. "Well, i need to go ask Moonstar something, ill be right back. Foxclaw padded out of the den and went to find Moonstar. He found her in a tree. "Hey, uh, Moonstar!" he shouted, looking up at the tree she was in. "I-I need to talk to y-you!" Moonstar came down to the lowest branch, she sat on it and said "Yes, what is it Foxclaw?" Moonstar asked. "Since Birdfeather is **STILL** the only hunter, i was wondering if i could ALSO be a hunter, and a deputy, AND still fight for the clan. I dont want her to have a complete lonely life. And, if i could also sleep with her for a moon." Foxclaw asked. "Hm... i'll think about that. But, you can go sleep with Birdfeather for a moon. She does seem pretty lonley at night. Sometimes i can hear her crying a little It makes me feel bad. But i'll think about the Hunter-Deputy thing." Moonstar replied. "Ok, thanks Moonstar!" He said, running back to the hunters den. "Birdfeather, would you like to sleep with me for a moon?" Foxclaw asked. Birdfeather got up, looked at him in the eyes, and shot him an evil glare. "Like?" Birdfeather asked. "Yea, i said that." Foxclaw said, a little worried. "And why would you use the word 'like'?! WHY NOT LOVE?!" She said, running up to him. "I would absolutely LOVE to sleep with you for a moon! I mean, i am lonely all the time. So i would love it." She said, blushing. Foxclaw blushed back. Foxclaw went into the deputy den. Birdfeather followed. Foxclaw let Birdfeather lay down first. She layed down facing the den entrance. Foxclaw lied down behind her, just like usual. They both quickly went to sleep.

## Chapter 7

Her last litter

Birdfeather was ready for her next litter to be born. She had became a queens 6 moons ago. And 6 moons ago she had another kit. Echokit. But now she's Echopaw. Birdfeather was moments away from having her newborn kits. **3 hours later** Birdfeather was laying on the ground, looking at her to boys. They were Stormkit, a brown one with stripes, and Stripekit, and tan one with stripes. They were both drinking her milk while Foxclaw was out hunting for the clan. Emberclaw was checking on Terror, Birdfeather's step-mom, who had a litter of her own. Terror was about 10 feet away from Birdfeather, so she just lied her head down on moss and fell asleep.

Foxclaw came back after awhile and went straight to her. "How are my little squirts doing?" He asked. "Purr-fect. They've been eating well at having good times to naps." Birdfeather replied. "Good. Have they made any friends yet?" asked Foxclaw. "They aren't even able to get up yet." Birdfeather said smoothly.
