Echoskip let out a joyous meow, snuggling close to her kits and placing her head down upon her paw.

Nightfallkit gnawed silently on a small twig. Mainly using his teeth, hoping to sharpen them up. He was quite bored, just being in the nursery with his siblings and the other queens. He wanted to get out the nursery. Be with the other toms! He was surrounded by she cats, and it annoyed him greatly. His eldest brothers were young warriors, and they hardly came to the nursery unless it was mandatory. Nightfallkit looked up to his brothers. Even though he was young, he aspired to be like them. Eventually, the tom got bored of the twig, and he pushed it away with a paw. His eyes looked around, catching hold of his sisters. He wanted to play! So, he jumped quickly into a crouch, growling playfully at his sisters, hoping to some type of reaction from them. He wanted them to be scared of him. After all, wasn't he fearless? Everyone should fear him!

Honeythistle neared the nursery, a small smile on his face. It always made him happy to see his little ones. He was just happy that they were safe. That flood made him stressed, but his newborns were safe. They were warmed up near their mothers, so that was good. It was pleasant. As he managed his way through the wrecks of the nursery, the tom shook the debris that clung to his fur. Goodness! He hated going through nursery entrances, but it was well worth it. As he appeared at the entrance, his eyes searched out for his kits and lovely mates. But, they instantly landed on a sneaky tom kit who going to pounce on one of his sisters, though Honeythistle didn't know which one. "Don't you dare, Nightfallkit." Honeythistle's voice boomed, hidden behind a tender purr. Why were his sons always so rebellious? He figured it was Nightfallkit's bonding time with either Crimsonblaze or Bronzeflash. As he approached the kits, Nightfallkit stood up from his crouching position, giving his father a sheepish grin. As Honeythistle got comfortable within the nursery, he looked down at his three small kits, purring loudly. It was just something that made him tender and content when he was surrounded by little versions of him.

Twilightkit was curled up, looking tense and nervous. She was surrounded by new, strange kits and queens and she didn't like it. Why couldn't they just go home already? At least there she didn't have to be so tense..kind of. Nightfallkit was knawing a twig, which was confusing to the young she-kit. Her brother was..interesting, not one of her favorite cats but not too bad. She sighed, burying her nose in her paws and looking outside the nursery with curiosity and fear mixed in her eyes. "Why did it have to..flood?" She remembered the word. Twilightkit sighed, sitting up and glancing around. Maybe it wasn't too bad? She could find something to do perhaps. But then again, what if RiverClan kits were mean to her? Or something worse! She swallowed, turning with irritation to Nightfallkit. "C-Cut it out Nightfallkit." She said, trying to be cool despite her nerves about being here.


Twilightkit stood, her paws numb with fear, and walked slowly to the entrance of the nursery. Just a bit of fresh air, just jut her muzzle out and take a breath. She was just..stressed! Yeah, she was just stressed about what happened. Twilightkit's small amount of boldness was taken away right now, she spotted the fur of her father and smiled slightly. He was better than Nightfallkit, much much better. "Honeythistle!" She trilled, nuzzling her fathers leg, as she was too small to reach his face. Her fur fluffed out, she looked much bigger than she actually was. She sat next to him, purring softly glad he was here. She turned to see Nightfallkit, letting out a tiny huff. Her brother was always being annoying, couldn't he calm down for just a second? She sighed softly, her fur smoothing itself. She didn't like it, obviously, it was kind of annoying to the shy young she-kit. She fixed her fur, her eyes glowing with hidden nerves as she smiled at Honeythistle. He, and her mother, were who she looked up to, she wanted to be just like her mom when she got older! She leaned into his fur, glad he was there. They weren't in ice cold water anymore, they were in a warm milky nursery. But still, it was weird. Better than that, though.

Eveningkit layed quietly in the nursery. She felt odd being in this place called "Riverclan". She had heard other queens talk about Riverclan, but she thought it was imaginary. Apparently it wasn't imaginary. Eveningkit didn't understand though why there had to be more than one clan, when Shadowclan was so amazing, surely there was no need for another. Next they would be telling her there were even more Clans! That's a ridiculous idea, she chided herself.

She still didn't understand what was wrong, though. So what there was some water in camp. What's the big deal? It's just water. And it probably wasn't even a lot. But all the cats told her that it was a "flood", whatever that meant.

As Eveningkit lay lost in thought, a familiar scent caught her attention. She saw her sister get up from next to her, and walk through the entrance. After a moment she heard her sister let out an excited squeal. And after another moment she saw the cat with the familiar scent enter.

"Honeythistle! She squeaked as bounced up to her father. She nuzzled her father on the leg, and then looked up at him with admiration and love in her eyes.

Their little battle made Tumblekit so happy, despite the fact that she was just woken up. She knew she'd always love her brother, and wouldn't be able to bear hurting him, hence the sheathed claws as they tussled in the nest. Coastkit was larger than Tumblekit and always would be, but as of that moment as kits, he didn't know how to use it. She wasn't aware of the extent of her own talents either, she simply leaped and happily, always hit her target. Coastkit's large paws swinging at her made her eyes widen and she dodged a few. Then, one of his paws caught her and she squealed, pulling back. Giggling, the young molly batted her own, smaller paws at her brother. After slinging her paws at Coastkit a few times, Tumblekit leapt off of her brother, dodging his paws and tucking in to role across the mossy floor and bounce to her paws.

The move was clumsy and she almost fell over, but the kit managed to remain on her paws. Bits of moss was interlaced with her sleek seal point patterned fur and bits of fur stuck out at all angles, but a happy smile shone from her face, showing the fact that she didn't care at all. Tumblekit looked around, noting the absence of their mother. "Coastkit!" She exclaimed, her blue eyes widening with her brilliant idea, "Mom's not here! Let's sneak out into the clearing!" Being only a moon old, Tumblekit and Coastkit hadn't been allowed out of the nursery yet. What better way to see the camp for the first time than to sneak out while their mother was away?

Coastkit only got one good smack in before Tumblekit retreated from on top of him, but honestly didn't care that much. He was still having fun even though he wasn't the best at fighting; the perks of being young and innocent. In the future, he would begin feeling frustrated by his lack of natural skills. However, for now he just enjoyed an occasional wrestling match with Tumblekit or his other friends.
As his sister bounced to her paws, he followed suit; rolling up onto his paws and standing up. Scraps of moss clung to his back, but with one firm shake of his sleek pelt they were gone. His short fur usually didn't give him any trouble because it was short and sleek, even dirt kind of blends in with his stripes. Though, if their mother caught sight of them dirty, she'd spend hours grooming them until they were perfect again. Honestly though, these two siblings couldn't care less about how they looked.
At her words, he looked around with wide eyes. She really isn't here! The thought instantly excited him, and after looking around he turned to Tumblekit with a wide gaze. "Yeah, let's do it!!" He exclaimed, his heart pounding at just agreeing to the plan aloud. As he waited for Tumblekit to make the first move, the kitten bounced from paw to paw in place, always ever moving. He could absolutely not stand still in one place for longer than a minute; he had to do something with himself to keep focused.

A grin crossed Tumblekit's face and her eyes narrowed mischievously as Coastkit agreed that they should sneak out! The molly's tail lashed with excitement, and her thorny claws dug into the moss as she flexed them in and out. Finally, the kit bounded to the edge of the nest and began trying to climb over it. Once she made it halfway, however, Tumblekit found herself sliding down to the bottom once more, landing on her haunches with a laugh. The seal point wasn't deterred and immediately threw herself back onto the side of the nest. Finally, she reached the top and tumbled down the other side, landing clumsily on the nursery floor. Tumblekit had managed to land on her paws, thanks to her tail, but the momentum sent her careening forward and she ended up with her face in the dirt and her tail in the air.

Tumblekit righted herself with a laugh and shook the moss and dirt from her sleek fur. The she-kit turned to glance at her brother before hopping over to the nursery entrance. She stopped just inside it, bouncing on her paws with excitement. Then, she led the way into the clearing, having to take mulitple steps due to her tiny stature. "Wow!" She breathed, looking at all of the warriors and apprentices milling around the huge clearing. To her, it seemed as if the clearing went on forever.

( @starfall @Mystical @monfang @AbsurdJinx The kittens are being born now, letting ya'll know. This is my first time rping kits being born and naming them, so I may have done it different than what ya'll may be used to.)

Silverear froze in fear for a slight second as she felt a wave of contractions flow through her body. The kits were coming! She was very nervous about giving birth in Riverclan, she would much rather be in the Shadowclan nursery at this time. She breathed in slowly, knowing it was time. She gripped onto a nearby stick that was brought to her earlier, feeling another wave of pain wash over her.

-Fade to black-

The shadowclan queen was laying in her nest, her fluffy tail curled around her three newborn kits. Each one looked perfect, and she instantly felt love for each of them. She licked the first one on the head, it was a handsome little brown tom. The silver colored calico licked the next kit on the head, it was a silvery white kitten. She smiled before licking the third and final kit on the head, it was a beautiful little orange, white and brown colored kit.

Silverear shifted her weight slightly, looking at each kitten. She had a feeling their father would want to see them, since they were his kits. She shook her head slightly, deciding it was time to name her kittens. Now for their names. The new queen turned her gaze to the little tom, whispering, "Your name will be Muddykit for your handsome pelt." She turned her eyes to the next kitten, the little silverish colored one that reminded her of herself a little. "Your name will be Ivorykit, little one." She whispered in the kitten's ear, even though she knew Ivorykit wouldn't understand yet. It made her feel better to say the names aloud for Starclan to hear. Her eyes fell on the final kit, and she felt her heart warm yet again. "And for you, my dear one, your name will be Olivekit." She said to the kit, licking it on the top of the head again. The queen scooted the kits closer to her, curling her tail tighter around them. Her eyes flicked to the entrance of the nursery before she looked back at the kitten, smiling.

Darkness. That was all the small, last born kit saw. Silence. Nothing entered her ears except the faint, muffled voice of her mother. For a moment, she just mewed at the touch of the warm tongue that brushed on her. Then, her stomach rumbled. She could smell the warm scent of milk near by and so she crawled her way to it. She sniffed around for the scent of the milk and soon she found a teet and began to suckle quickly, pressing and kneading her mother's stomach, and after a few seconds she had calmed, drinking the milk, feeling the warm liquid run down her throat and she enjoyed it. And as she did that the kit soon fell asleep, still suckling.

Black. Ivorykit let out a loud meow that sounded like a yowl. Their ears were flat, pressed against their alabaster and white head, and their eyes were scrunched tight. Unlike their sister, they didn't deep their tummy rumble. They didn't move to their mothers warm milky scent. They didn't suckle or anything like that. They just let out a loud meow, and wrinkled their nose. Then, because they has nothing better to do, Ivorykit inched towards their mother. As the scent hit their nose, Ivorykit's nose twitched. What was that scent? It was delicious, gentle, and pleasing. It made their stomach rumble. So the little kit prodded the source of the scent. When they decided it was fine, they began to suckle. Soon enough, they were farst asleep as well.

Sorreltuft crept cautiously into the nursery. He knew Everwhisper wasn't currently in the den which allowed him to visit in with Silverear, but you couldn't ever be too cautious. Finally, after reassuring himself that his possessive mate was not in the den, he straightened his posture until he was standing with confidence. He searched the unfamiliar den until his gaze rest on a rounded figure, three bundles of fur squirming at it's side. He immediately determined this shape - familiar unlike the den - to be Silverear, and it appeared that their kits had finally been born! Sorreltuft's features brightened, excitement flooding his body.

He stood in the opening to the den while Silverear named their kits, discreetly nodding in approval to the chosen names. Sorreltuft was smiling softly, and he found himself purring gently as he watched the scene unfold before him. He noticed Silverear glancing up at him, and felt that was his queue to approach. Treading carefully, he neared his fling and their kittens. His awe was as visible as day as he gazed down at his kits. After a moment of adoration, he looked up at Silverear, his eyes glistening with unshed tears of wonder. ``They're amazing, Silverear... Absolutely amazing. Who would believe we've created such beauty..?`` No one. Nobody can know these kits our mine.
