In heartbeats it was over. As she turned her head side ways, two small bundles of fur were lying there, still wet. Quickly she began to lick them vigorously as they mewed small sounds of protest. She rubbed there fur the wrong way to keep them warm as Rainflower meowed, "I'll help." The two she cats groomed them gently as murmurs broke out from the entrance of many curious cats. Rainflower nudged one kit toward her as she went out and mumbled just loud enough to hear, "you can see in the morning. Right now she needs to be alone." Turning to face Midnightstar she meowed, "I'll be back shortly, I'm going to fetch some herbs." Slipped out the cleft Rainflower disapeared leaving the three cats alone.
As Rainflower disapeared Midnightstar pointed to the small gray she-kit murmuring, "Stormkit." pointing to the other kit which had a colouring she had never seen which was Dark orange that was almost brown but like a burning flame with dark black stripes all across his body. Nosing him gently she mewed, "Maplekit." Nudging them closer to her she curled around them and began to sleep.

Lunafire was glad that Midnightstar had her kits without a flaw. Before Rainflower herded them out he saw a glimpse of the kits. They were so cute!

A half moon had passed and Maplekit and Stormkit grew quickly, but there father still hadn't even seen them yet. Midnightstar slipped out of the cleft in the blue-gray rock as the sun beat down on her glistening black pelt. Maplekit and his sister Stormkit ran after there mother as she neared the rockfall. Grabbing the two growing kits in her jaws, she picked her way down the tumble of rocks placing the two eager kits down gently when she reached the bottom. The instant she laid them down they took off across the clearing. Soon after the kits had opened their eyes, Rainflower had examined them and found out that Stormkit was blind like her father. Suddenly Midnightstar remembered what StarClan had said. "Your love will not all be good, there will be disapointment." Thats what they must have meant. But it is also good for it will always make me remeber Flamefur and honor him, She thought. Silently she padded after them as they played in the clearing pouncing on a beetle that dared get within reach of the flailing paws of the kits.

Days flew by and Stormkit and Maplekit grew and grew until they were finally apprentices, and today was the day that would come true, and their father wasn't even there to congragulate them.

Flamefur bounded into camp. "I'm sorry." He purred, nuzzling Midnightstar. He saw to apprentices beside her. "Our kits!" he murmurred proudly. "They're beautiful!"

As Lunafire was walking towards the fresh kill pile for a nice meal after a long hunt he noticed Flamefur bounding in. "I'm sorry." he said "Our kits!". Lunafire was glad that Flamefur could finally see his kits, he looked very proud. " Hi Flamefur." Lunafire meowed " Nice to see you again!"

As Flamefur bounded up she thrust her muzzle into his fur. "It's been so long." She whispered. (Midnightstar's point of view)
(Maplepaw's point of view) Maplepaw stood glaring at the tom. Who was he? Why was he in ThunderClan? He had RiverClan scent. Maplepaw shifted uneasily on his paws noticing that the tom and his mother stood pressed up against each other. A shot of fear blasted through his fur. Suddenly a strong rush of protectiveness seemed to travel through him. Pulling himself to his full height he growled confidently and protectivly standing in front of his sister he asked, "Who are you?"
(Stormpaw's point of view) Stormpaw shrunk back at the unfamiliar bad scent of the flame coloured tom. Opening her jaws she drew in the scent more carefully. It's riverClan! Realizing the scent she let her brother slip infront of her, though she knew that if the tom laid one claw on Maplepaw she would chase him out of there making him want to never come back. Tensing her muscles she prepared to leap if necessary.

Noticing Stormpaw and Maplepaw's fluffed up tail Lunafire said " Stormpaw, Maplepaw, this is your father, Flamefur."

Rainflower quickly padded out hearing hisses from the two new apprentices Maplepaw and Stormpaw in the clearing. She got out just in time to hear Lunafire meow, "Stormpaw, Maplepaw, this is your father Flamefur."
Surprised gasps came from the two cats. Trying to break the silence she meowed, "Hi Flamefur! Nice to see you! How are you?"

Silverstorm padded through the enterance tunnel, dropping his prey on the pile. Noticing the gathering cats, he padded over wondering what the comotion was about.
"Hi Flamefur! Nice to see you! How are you?" He heard Rainflower meow. Listening to the convorsation, he sat down curiously listening.

(Maplepaw character) Maplepaw's fur sluffed out in shock. "What?" he squeked. "We-we have a father?" he gulped. Of course you have a father you mousebrain! He thought shaking his head. "I-I mean, your- your our father?" He asked uneasily. He'd never known his father, he had just assumed he had died or something, but his mother told them stories of the great cat but he never thought he'd meet him.
(Stormpaw character)"Didn't you just here Lunafire?? He'd just told us he was our father why would you have to ask?" Stormpaw whispered to Maplepaw. Stormpaw slipped out from behind her brother to stand beside her mentor curious but catious about the new cat that claimed to be her father. He looked just like how their mother had described him, flame colored with a bit of white and gray eyes but muscular and brave.
"Yes father, he's my mentor. He's a really good one too. With him to teach me I'll be the greatest warrior!" She meowed pride building inside her as she explained that Lunafire was her mentor. She sat and waited for him to reply.
