Driftingkit

Suddenly things changed. He wasn't comfortable anymore. There was stuff all around him. He was surrounded by squirming fluffy things. This was not how it had been before. For a moment he was still, as his sleepy mind worked through this new information. He didn't like it. With his head bobbing up and down as much as he could manage he let out a long squeaky call. Not that he could hear it but, his new faltering voice was letting any cat with ears know that he was here, and he was unhappy. Something inside him was letting him know that this situation was wrong. Later in life he would learn that this sensation was called hunger.

Soon he caught hold of a scent that was alluring. He wanted it! It would make him feel better! Stubby legs squirmed, driving the kit towards where he could smell his first meal. As he was slowly making his was he was forced to a stop by a fluffy wall. He shrieked at it, and then his nose started twitching. The moving wall smelled familiar. Almost comforting. He was moving towards it now. It was warm and pleasant. He buried his nose in it, what would later be known to him as a purr started up in his chest. This was a good thing, he decided.

[ @sleepyyjax - this was too cute to pass up! ]

the menace to society who would later cause confusion with thievery was too cold. Where was she even? Ohhh, she must be grown up now! wow she was very small. Well, no, everything else was big. Well its time to move out and- wait a minute, how is she move? The tiny kitten flailed around. How did other cats learn so fast? how did they get so big?

she was tired now.., maybe wiggling your arms wasn't how you move. Maybe you just dont walk. but then would they just sit there? boring. Oh yeah she could just ask! the unnamed kitten faced in a random direction because she nad no idea where the smartest cat here was yet and asked them, "meew." okay now she waits. and waits. dammit why wont they tell her. Well, she'd just sit still until they told her, then.

@Moonraven - Twilightstar/Leopardsong

OW! Leechscar woke up after the second hit and hissed outraged at the forever queen. Why did she always smack him awake? The large warrior stretched out his hindlegs and shot Leopardsong a nasty look as he got his paws. A metallic scent wafted through the air mixed disgustingly with the usually sweet milky scent in the nursery.

He was wide awake once the scent registered within his brain along with Leopardsong's words. He took a moment to look around the nursery, noticing that the WindClan leader was indeed here. She didn't look good. He padded past Leopardsong to check on the older molly and was greeted by a disturbing number of little kits at the she-cat's belly. The sight had a whole yarnball of conflicted feelings arise with him, that he'd sort out later.

Though agitated, Leechscar took a deep breath and forced his temper to cool. Twilightstar didn't look great and he's learned quickly that Leopardsong wasn't big on repeating herself when she asked for something. With a lashing tail, the tom moved back towards Leopardsong's nest and carefully dragged it over so it overlayed with Twilightstar's, he was mindful of everyone's kittens.

Once he was done he sat back on his haunches and glanced back at Leopardsong, waiting to see if she had anything else she wanted him to do. His green eyes roamed over the bodies of the kits, he counted thirteen in total. He was impressed, irritated, but impressed. Leopardsong had five and it took a toll on her, he couldn't imagine how difficult it was to have thirteen.

No matter how he looked at the kittens, he couldn't figure out who the heck helped sire them. He doubted it was another cat in WindClan or they'd be here at least helping tend to the leader unless they were a deadbeat dad. Leechscar had no clue who his father was and hadn't cared enough to pester Twilightstar. She flinched enough when Rushingkit was mentioned or if he tried to bring up Beastpaw and Midnightpaw. These guys, though, Leechscar wanted to know who the other parent was. This question was going to eat at him until he found the answer.

Leechscar bent down, dragging his tongue over the kittens that were too still and quiet for his liking or didn't try suckling immediately. (Rainkit, Racconkit, Cinderkit, Coyotekit, Driftingkit, Shrikekit). Leopardsong literally beat into his head how to lick and pick the small cats up to move them. He had new scars on his face to prove it. The warrior lashed when he found that none of them seemed anything like Magnoliakit, which was great he supposed.

He didn't like any of them currently and might have drowned a few of them if they weren't now his family and thus responsibility. The grouch had nothing against the kits personally, he was betting they'd add more stress and heartbreak to the already drained leader and so already consider all of them as nuisances. When she wasn't so tired he'd have to figure out why in the world she had wanted more kits. She had the clan, it wasn't adding up to him. Regardless, he'd have to take extra good care of the tykes.

"Should I move some of them into your nest?" He asked Leopardsong once he finished inspecting his siblings. While waiting for a reply he leaned over to press his nose to Twilightstar's cheek.

"Sorry," He grumbled for disturbing her. "What are you naming them?" If she was naming them right now. He might as well start memorizing them now. He'd have to fetch Dreamlight too. She could help him watch them. HE assumed the leader would be doing the same as she had with him and Dreamlight, which meant leaving most of the caring to Leopardsong or one of the other queens, as she would be busy running the clan.
