An ebony she-cat lay in the back of the ThunderClan nursery breathing hard. Her green eyes were misted with exhustion. It was nearly midnight and she had finally done it. She had carried her first litter, five kits born to her and Nightshadow. The thought made the she-cat bitter. Nightshadow had left her for another she-cat.
Ravenfeather pushed the thought away and looked down at her beautiful kits, choosing names. Spottedkit was the little tortiseshell kit, the first born kit. Next came a dark grey tom kit, Cloudedkit. After him came a kit identical to Nightshadow. Stripedkit would be his name. The last two kits were black, like her. Shadowkit was the largest and the runt of the litter was Riverkit.
With a sigh, Ravenfeather laid head back, eyes half closed.
((speedy, u can have nightshadow sneak in if you want, i don't care))

Silverstripes slender bodice slipped into the ThunderClan camp easily. Hers silverly form was hidden in the shadows. The moonlight disguised her gray fur. Hours she had waited for Ravenfeather to give birth to her kits. Her plan was set and she was waiting in position. The idea was so sneak in and grab a kitten. She knew it was wrong, but the though was too tempting. Her mind told her to steal but her heart told her to leave.
She knew she was doing Ravenfeather a big favor anyway. Talking one kit off her hand would lead to a better outcome in the winter. It would be one less mouth to find prey for in the winter ,and in the worst case, one less good cat to see die from Greencough.
Silverstripe padded lightly into the den. Ravenfeather and her kits were curled up in the corner. Surprisingly, there were no other cats in there except her. It was probably to give her some privacy. Her dark form slipped over to the kittens they were curled up next to Ravenfeather's body. This was it. All she had to do was grab the kitten of her choice. She stepped closer and bent down to grab a kitten. Unfortunately thing don't always go as planned.
A kittens mewl rose into the night air. Would her kit's cry wake the sleeping mother or would she remain in a silent sleep, unknowing of the threat to one of her kits.

Fiery green eyes snapped open. Ravenfeather let out a low growl and unsheathed her claws when the smell of WindClan caught her attention. Ravenfeather's ebony head snapped around to glare at the intruder.
"Get away from my kits!" Ravenfeather snarled.
The midnight-stained fae leapt to her paws. This however wasn't her smartest move. She had forgotten her hindering limb and her exhusted body. Neither were willing to move quickly. Ravenfeather bared her teeth and lashed her tail, determined not to show weakness.
"What are you doing here wind-rat?" Ravenfeather snarled. |

Silverstripe smiled. Even though the she cat was weak she still had some spunk.
"Oh come now. You know what I'm hear for and I intend to get what i want wheather you wish for me to or not. You know its the best for both Clans. For your Clan, well it's one less mouth ot feed in the winter. In my Clan, it's one more good warrior."
The silver cat unsheathed her claws and bared her teeth.
"You wouldn't want wanything bad to happen whould you?" The cat teased. She took a step closer to the kittens.

Without thinking Ravenfeather flung herself in front of her kits, snarling and growling. "I don't care what your clan has. These are my kits. You won't touch one hair on their heads."
The ebony she-cat stood firm in front of her five kits, the kits she had given life to. Even if their father was a traitor, Ravenfeather was going to protect her kits.
"Why don't you do seduce some foolish tom and have your own kits?" Ravenfeather growled, flexing her claws threateningly. |

A chuckle escaped her throat.
"I didn't want to have to hurt you Ravenfeather. I though you were more sensible than that. "
With claws extended she lunged at the she cat. One way or another, one of thoes kits will be hers.

Ravenfeather snarled and lunged to meet Silverstripe, swiping at the WindClan cat's muzzle. "You will NOT get my kits" Ravenfeather growled.
The onyx she-cat however landed on her bad limb. The stiffened limb gave out and Ravenfeather stumbled. This was a mistake. ((srry bout the wait)) |

The she cat felt claws meet her muzzle. She cringed in pain but regained her form. She couldn't let a little scratch stop her. She stopped just for a moment and the ebony she cat fell.
"Whats wrong Ravenfeather? Are you hurt?" She taunted.
The cat lashed out at the she cat. She had to act quickly before any other cats woke up. If she didn't grab one of the kits she'd loose the chance to take one at all.

Ravenfeather hissed angrily. "Why do you want my kits? Something wrong with your blood or are toms just driven away by your ugly mug?" Ravenfeather snarled, standing protectivly over her kits, hoping desperately that help would come soon.
The night-shaded fae lashed her tail, wishing she could hush the heart-wrenching wails of her crying kits. They wanted the warmth of their mother but for right now, Ravenfeather could not comfort them. |

Silverstream had nothing to say to this. There were toms in her Clan its just that none caught her attention. She snapped back to the job she had to do. It was now or never and her heart started pounding at all the noise they were making. With in the moment she dashed at the kittens her maw open ready to catch one in her jaw and run off agian.

Ravenfeather was knocked roughly off balance and she caught a flash of silver as Silverstripe snatched a kit. Ravenfeather let out a wail and leapt blindly at Silverstripe, raking her claws down the silver fae's flank. It would leave three scars. The ebony queen fell in a heap, off balance. Her eyes were wide and she was trembling and staring at Silverstripe in horror. Stealing a kit from its mother was the most lowly act of a warrior. |

Silverstripe cried out in pain. She stumbled and fell .The kit still held in her jaws.She cringed at the scarled blood seeping out of her bodice and onto the den floor. She pulled herself to her paws and shook the blood off her pelt. Her eyes shifted to Ravenfeather. Compassion and pity fell over her. She knew this was wrong, but it had to be done.
"I'm sorry Ravenfeather. May my words of compassion soothe your broken soul." She said sweetly. Her heart ached. All of this was so wrong. She turned her head and ran quickly out of the ThunderClan camp. She had to return home.

Ravenfeather leapt to her paws and stumbled after Silverstripe. A broken-hearted wail rang through the dark camp, rousing warriors but she knew it was too late....her kit....Spottedkit....was gone.
"The next time I see that filthy rat I'm going to skin her alive" Ravenfeather snarled. "Gathering or not, I'll kill her."
Defeated, Ravenfeather went back to her remaining kits, Riverkit, Shadowkit, Stripedkit and Cloudedkit. Ravenfeather's heart was heavy in her chest as she gazed at the place where Spottedkit had been. The other kits were mewling loudly, crying to their mother and sister.
The ebony she-cat curled around her kits, hushing them with gentle words and using her nose to guide them to her side. "I'll find you Spottedkit" Ravenfeather murmured. "You will know whose blood you bear." |

[glow=green,10,1000]Cloudedkit hovered in a corner. "Momma! I'm scared!" he sniffed, then walked out farther peering around with his big green eyes. "Where'd Spottedkit go?" his head was cocked in a cirious, yet scared way. [/glow]
[glow=red,10,1000]"You shoulda let me at 'er!" a black pelt slither over to his twin-pelted mother. "I could have ripped her to shreds!" He stuck his tongue out in between his teeth, shook his rump, then, BOOM! He pounced on a green match of moss, with his long forpaws keeping his balance, while his strong hindlegs skined the moss. "See! I'll be a great warrior! Wont I momma!?" he looked cheerful, but cirious. [/glow] |

"Stop it Shadowkit" Riverkit mewed, green eyes turning toward his brothers. "You'll get yourself hurt."
"Oh stop whining" Stripedkit mewed, turning his back on his brothers and settling as far away as possible from them. "If they get hurt it's their faults."
Ravenfeather gave a weak purr at the antics of her kits. Ravenfeather licked Shadowkit's ears. "You'll make a fine warrior someday, you all will. Spottedkit is just....going away for a while, don't worry, you'll see her again."
