AquilaClan

CW: Animal death, animal injury, child/kitten death

Moon 0 (Newleaf)

A she-cat named Aquila (18m) runs away from her twolegplace after a fire ignites. The fire spreads into the forest and she continues to run. She can't run far though, due to her expecting kits.

She thinks she's done for, until a forest cat named Bushtail (19m Nonbinary) spots her and decides to rescue her.

The two eventually reach a spot far away from the flames. They decide to rest there. Aquila eventually has her kits and names them Cancer (Male), Aries (Male), Carina (Female), and Pisces (Female).

After the delivery of the kits, Bushtail and Aquila tell each other more about themselves. Bushtail informs her that they used to be a healer for a group of cats called CrashClan, but left due to the leader. Aquila picks up an interest in these cat groups and decides to rename her kits to have the suffix "kit".

Carinafeather smiles, knowing she raised her kits right.

Bushtail has healed from the strain of delivering their litter.

Moon 17

Cetuskit was taken by a hawk... Carinafeather chases after the hawk, but it was no use...

A world without Cetuskit at his side seems cold and empty to Columbakit, how can life continue on like nothing happened? When no one needs anything from him, Columbakit breaks down, wailing uncontrollably and cursing the world that took Cetuskit instead of them.

Cassiopeiakit feels sick to her stomach. The last time she saw Cetuskit, she quarreled with him, and now all Cassiopeiakit can do is beg for forgiveness and hope Cetuskit is watching from StarClan. In the dead of the night, Cassiopeiakit wails into the vast sky, unable to fathom StarClan's cruelty. She glares up at Silverpelt, gouging the earth with shaky claws.

Carinafeather feels like they don't deserve their full name... Especially since they weren't able to realize the meaning of that omen they received moons ago soon enough... If they had interpreted it sooner, would Cetuskit still be here?

Cruxkit tries her best to comfort Columbakit and Cassiopeiakit... She only knew Cetuskit for a moon, but she knew he was a good cat.. And knew that he died too young...
