"I'm aware, Littlewing" Gryphonstar replied calmly to the medicine cat "but these are not WindClan kits. We have no right to do anything until Lightstar sees this. We must respect ThunderClan--ahh...other ThunderClan cats. This is good" he broke off, apon seeing Flameheart and Lightstar dash in. "No, no lions. Nothing but RiverClan cats" he added to ThunderClan's leader, dipping his head respectly to Lightstar.
Lynxclaw followed closely behind the large patrol, stopping to see Winterflight on the ground. Wha...what happened? She hadn't even noticed the other she-cat these past days...
Looking around, her blue gaze rested on the two kits. So...kitting without first telling the Clan you were pregnant...? How irresponsible...you could have had worse for them... she thought grimly, closing her eyes to block the sight.

Lightstar nodded, glad no lions had figured them out yet. She looked at Starfur, "Starfur, I want you to take Winterflight and her kits back to camp. protect them well." The young she-cat looked at Rowanstar, then back at Winterflight. "yes Lightstar..." mewed Starfur. he felt nervous going it alone with a queen whom had just delivered, and two barely a few minete old kits, but he had to. they were the future warriors of his clan.

((sry this post might be kinda random ... :] I've got a crap-load of back-tracking to do here O.o)) While Willowstar and Gryphonstar were talking, the RiverClan leader was vaguely away of Ravenstreak and Winterflight having a very secretive conversation. Willowstar ignored it however, and turned her attention back to Gryphonstar. She was about to tell him that her own medecine cat was unaccounted for aswell when she heard a gasp of pain. Spinning around, she followed Ravenstreak's gaze and saw that Winterflight had collapsed onto her side, her chest rising and falling in laboured breathing. The she-cat was kitting! And at the worst possible moment! Willowstar thought in frustration. Their journey to the MoonStone would be delayed even longer due to the unexpected event. Still, her eyes were clouded with the concern of a mother and she padded over to see the condition of the kits. They seemed healthy and both looked like their mother, who was gazing happily at her new bundles. "They're beautiful, Winterflight." The RiverClan leader mewed in congradulations. She soon became so tranfixed by the kits that she nearly jumped out of her fur when the representatives of ThunderClan and ShadowClan, along with both leaders, came scrambling up the river bank. Her fur standing on end, she trotted brsikly over to them and greeted Lightstar and Rowanstar with a respectful nod. "Good to see you both. I assume that you're all ready for the journey?" She mewed good-naturedly, despite the twinge of uneasiness she felt around the ambitious Rowanstar. While the ThunderClan leader set out orders for Winterflight to be brought back to RiverClan and Rowanstar turned to the warrior Flameheart, Willowstar noticed that Crowfur had appeared and was now speaking with Littlewing. The RiverClan leader went over to her medecine cat, nodding to Littlewing, and whispered "This certainly puts a flaw in our plan. We should be on our way to Mothermouth by now with all haste." Her voice was calm and collected, but her eyes betrayed how anxious she was to get to the MoonStone. ~~ Patchpelt raced along in the rear of the large aptrol, his old bones straining to keep up with the younger and more agile warriors. He wondered how well he would be able to cope with the long journey to Mothermouth and back. After all, it had been a long while since he had been there. Still, he anticipated fidning out what to do about the strange Lion menace and wanted to reach the MoonStone as soon as possible. When the patrol reached the river, Patchpelt readied himself for the leap across the rushing water. Buncing his muscles and screwing up his face, he launched himself with all his might off the bank, landing short of the opposite shorline with a splash. He scabled on the wet stone for a moemnt before gaining solid footing and crawling up the bank, his belly and legs dripping with cold water. Rowanstar and the others had already greeted the warriors from WindClan and RiverClan, and were now gathered in a small circle. For a moment, Patchpelt was unsure about what was happening until he saw the form of Winterflight, a ThunderClan queen, lying on her side. Fear clutched at his soaking body. Had the lions already reahced them? Then his gaze fall upon two damp little bundles of what looked like fur, lying next to the queen's belly. Patchpelt sighed in releif. Winterflight had given birth. He Gazed at the kits as Lightstar oredered Starfur to escort Winterflight and her children back to the ThunderClan camp, amazed at how tiny they were. Would they manage until they reached their nursery? Kits can be strong. he todl himself reassuringly. Then, shaking his head to clear it, Patchpelt looked at the warriors around him. All the representatives from each the clans had finally gathered and they could begin their journey to Mothermouth and the MoonStone.

"Come on Winterflight," Mewed Starfur. He sapported the queen and picked up the two bundles with his teeth. Lightstar waited until the two were gone before turning back to the other leaders. "i think it is safe to say that we can finally get going to Moonstone..."

(The italisized words are where she is in StarClan) Winterflight tried to get up she fell back down. "I can't." she gasped. She felt more kits in her ready to come out. She hissed to keep the pain from yowling. Winterflight lay there with her two kits. "Frostkit and Sapphirekit will not make it alone. I can't get up. I am to tired and weak." Winterflight rasped. She was out of breath. "Lightstar, I can't move. I am sorry. I did not know that I was pregnet. I just found out today." Winterflight lay back breathing heavily. Her blue green eyes half closed. Sapphirekit and Frostkit curled up next to hear. She was extremely tired and weak. She could not get up. She could not move. Winterflight felt like she was going to die. She thought she was dead. Winterflight was in StarClan. "Shardwind?" she gasped. Shardwind padded forward. He dipped his head. Winterflight asked, "Am I dead?" Shardwind shook his gray head, "No you are not dead, yet. Solarclaw needs to talk to you about you kits." Shardwind vanished and Solarclaw appeared. Solarclaw mew, "You kits are not safe. I know you can't move. You are going to have more, but they have to come out at the moonstone when you are sharing tongues with Shardwind." Winterflight gasped. She mew, "So I have to go to the Highstones?" Solarclaw nodded. She left Winterflight. Winterflight lay still on the damp grass. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Snowfeather looked at Winterflight. Her limp body. 'What if she was dead.' Snowfeather thought. "Lightstar, there is no way we are going to be able to move her and her kits." She shook her head. Looking at Lightstar her eyes clouded. 'StarClan why?' she thought.

Lightstar growled in frustration, "We cannot be delayed!" She hissed, more to herself. She began pacing back and fourth, her tail twitching in fear and anger. "Cat's are dying!" She whispered. The young she-cat sat down in the grass, her eyes closed. 'Starclan....show me what to do! These are the future of my clan...I can't aford to loose them!' She sighed and burried her face in her paws, "What are we going to do....." She whisepered.

Winterflight opened her eyes. She whispered to Lightstar, "I have to go to the Highstones. Shardwind came to me and so did Solarclaw. I have to go to the Moonstone." Winterflight licked Frostkit.

Lightstar lifted her head and huffed. "How do we plan on getting you there though?" The leader sounded uterly hoppless. She sighed and shook her head, "The kits have to be a main priority Winterflight, you HAVE to get them to a cmap. They can'r make it all the way to Moonstoen and then back to camp!"

Winterflight gave a short glance to Ravenstreak. She did it so fast that no one saw her. "I know Lightstar, but you cannot disobey a order from StarClan." Snowfeather nodded.

Lightstar looked down, her usually bright eyes dull and blank. Winterflight was right...she could never disobay an order from Starclan. She was to loyal a leader. "Fine..." She mewed, she looked up, "Lynxclaw, I want you and Starfur to stand on either side of Winterfligth and help her walk, Flameheart, you carry the kits, be gentle with them!" She looked back at Rowanstar breifly, then looked at the other leaders, "Are we ready to go?"

Winterflight stood up. She mew, "I can carry Sapphirekit." She leaned forward and picked up the dark white tabby she-kit.

Lightstar nodded, "Flameheart, carry the other one, Frostkit." She looked at Rowanstar again, she couldn't stop doing so! She felt a cold shiver run down her spine when she looked at him, but she also felt a warm feeling in her heart, that made her fur stand on end.

Rowanstar watched in dismay as Winterflight explained what needed to be done. This was preposterous! How could StarClan order a pregnant queen to travel all the way to the Moonstone, then back to her camp, and with more kits?! The ShadowClan leader shook his head, getting frustrated. He looked at Lightstar, his gaze firm. "We cannot take her with us! She will only slow us down, and we must speak with StarClan as soon as possible! Winterflight if obviously in no shape to walk with us all the way to Highstones." He flicked his gaze to the orange warrior known as Flameheart. The ThunderClan warrior winced under Rowanstar's cold glare. "Take her back to camp. This is outrageous!" He turned back to Lightstar, trying to hide his desperation. But his eyes betrayed how much he hoped Lightstar would understand. When he spoke, his voice was firm, yet it had a slight pleading sound to it. "Lightstar. We can't take her. Her kits will surely die if they are taken with us! I am not worried about the weather and what not. It's Greenleaf for StarClan's sake! But with these lions lurking around . . . I just don't like this whole thing. We should just . . . just take her back to ThunderClan." He bowed his head, feeling utterly dumbfounded. Why was this happening now? ~ Flameheart tried to take a step towards Winterflight, but Rowanclaw's fierce gaze stopped him in his tracks. He wanted to obey Lightstar and carry out her orders, but his fear of the ShadowClan leader made him freeze to the spot. His gaze flicked anxiously from Lightstar, to Rowanstar, to Winterflight, then back to Lightstar. Part of him agreed with Rowanstar and wanted Winterflight to be taken back to camp. But another part of him knew something bigger was going on and it was the right thing to take her and her kits to Mother Mouth.

Lightstar closed her eyes. The plead in Rowanstar's voice and eyes made her think hard about her decision. She took a few steps toward him, "Rowanstar...I hate to do it, and I REALLY hate to do it, but Starclan wants her to have her kits at moonstone..." She sat down, her head bowed, "I can't go against the will of what Starclan wants!" She said hopelessly. She closed her eyes miserably. When she opened them she was not facing Rowanstar, but a flame colored tom. It was Firestar, the leader before Bramblestar... "Oh Firestar.." She whispered, "I just don't know what to do." "Starclan has ways of contacting Winterflight, her kits do not have to be born at moonstoen. Listen to your heart Lightstar." Lightstar's eyes snapped open, and her face grew feirce. She looked over at Winterflight, "Winterflight, I will not put you and your kits in danger by taking you with us. you WILL be escorted back to camp, and Starclan will find a way to speak to you at home."
just go with it snow, plz?)
