Coalstar

Meet one of briarclans biggest pricks in briarclan history. Originally he was the main bad guy before I decided to make Brackenstar the bad guy. He was then a darkforest character before ultimately deciding that he would make the perfect asshole that lives in starclan.

Coalstar always trained hard as a young apprentice and always seemed to pick fights at the border whenever he had the chance. As a warrior he seemed to mature up a bit, enough to be chosen deputy by the then leader boulderstar. When he was made the leader he immediately sprung into action, scheduling routine battle training for everyone in the clan (besided the queens and kits. Yes elders were allowed to participate) usually being the one to train. He was a strict and stern leader. Any small wrong move would be called out. He along with his warriors invented new complicated battle moves and had been the ones that started the briarclan tradition of wrapping briars and thorns around their paws and claws before battle. He would begin to pick fights at borders again as he had done as an apprentice and attempt, and usually win the fights and eventually grew a reputation of being a strong and successful opponent that you wouldn't want to fight against. Briarclan was soon known to be the strongest clan of his time, winning many battles and coming up with tactical moves. He would taunt leaders at gatherings believing that, in his own words, 'they would be too chicken sh*t to stand up for themselves.' And often times he was right. To briarclan, he was dubbed one of the best leaders in history. To other clans he was dubbed the biggest asshole to the clans.

What if

What if I did FireHeart x CoalStorm (oc that me and @deity-of-moffs made)?

How

how would yall feel

[wc-confessions]

Here are some interesting facts about how the names of cats were translated into "Into the wild" in Russian translation:

Redtail - Ragetail

Tigerclaw - Claw (or Talon idk)

Whitestorm - Blizzard

Darkstripe - Get ready... STOCKADE

Willowpelt - Blueeye

Mousefur - Brush

Ravenpaw - Burnt

Sandpaw - Mustard (Later, her warrior name will be translated literally)

Graypaw - Tangle (warrior name - Steepside (Krutobok). But the Russian community sometimes jokingly interpret the root of the word "Kruto" as cool. There's a wordplay going on here, don't pay attention)

Goldenflower - Goldenneck

Speckletail - Ermine (Although it was initially translated verbatim, but in the second edition it was changed to this name)

Smallear - Earless

One-eye - Crooked

Dappletail - Ashberry

Runningnose - Wetwhisker

Wetpaw - Sleekpaw

Littlepaw - Fluffpaw

Ashfur - Firebrand

Tallstar - Star ray

Crockedstar - Meteor (Although his kit, apprentice and warrior name were translated literally in his speciality)

Yellowfang - Gaptoothed

These names have such an author's translation for a simple reason: at that time, no one knew that in 20 years there would be + 80 books, so no one bothered about the translation and thought that there would be about 6 books. Another reason may be because minor characters did not want to be strongly singled out, so they were given such simple names so that Firepaw (who was simply translated as Fire, but his warrior name was later translated literally) stood out as the main character.

For this reason, by the way, Ashfur(TC) was translated as Coalkit when he was a kitten, and in subsequent books they forgot about him and did not translate his apprentice and warrior name. As a result, in the Russian translation we have a villain with a kit name

Her Eyes (Short Story)

Miscarriage TW! -Umbranoxs

——-

Rain crashed against the roof of the medicine den, Swirltail laying on a moss nest covered in rips that she had caused from her anxiety. She came into the den a couple hours ago, not feeling well, and next thing she knew? Kits. Cottoncatcher told her she needed to stay there for the night. She kneaded her claws into the moss again, listening to the roar of distant thunder as she faded in and out of being awake, struggling to really pay attention to anything around her. Was it supposed to be like this?

Next thing she knew, she awoke to mewling and Cottoncatcher, who’s expression made her heart drop. He glanced downwards, and exhaled softly; Speaking the words she prayed she never had to hear.“I’m sorry.. I tried all I could, but.. Only one made it.”

She glanced down, feeling her throat tighten and her body tremor with tears that struggled to fall. Two bodies were still, one squirming and mewling as they snuggled next to her- Their pelt as dark as the stormy sky above. “..May I.. At least name them before they’re buried?” She meowed weakly, voice trembling as she struggled not to sob. “Of course.” Cottoncatcher’s smooth, silver pelt blocked out the light, shadowing over her kits- She gently moved the two stillborns into the sunlight, whispering name ideas softly- Occasionally she’d see Cottoncatcher nod in approval of a name, his bronze eyes littered with mixed emotions; Sympathy, pity? She couldn’t tell nor could she care.

Eventually, the two kits- she settled on the names Dustkit and Joykit for them, -were taken out of the den for burial, and finally she felt herself break. Quiet yet echoing around the den, her sobs filled her ears as she cradled her little survivor in her paws. She forced a small smile at the similarities between them and her friends and family, debating names. So many ideas swirled in her mind- She considered Coalkit after one of her lost friends, but shook her head as she remembered how foolish they all were as apprentices- And his mother was still alive in the elder’s den, it’d be cruel to her to name a kit that looked like him with such a name. Perhaps Nightkit? Was that too basic?

She debated between names for the rest of the day, and through the night. Nobody ever told her naming a single kit would be this tough!Despite this she sighed contently, looking back at her little kit. They were peacefully sleeping next to her, and she finally decided on a name for them; She’d likely discuss it with her clanmates later, to get their opinion. Even if their father couldn’t help her decide, it takes a clan to raise a kit- At least, that’s what she learnt. As she closed her eyes to rest, something in her head prompted her to look at her kit.

And as she turned, her heart dropped again and she froze as a sudden shock hit her, desperately avoiding the instinct to yelp in fear. Their eyes were open, full of curiosity- At least, as open as they could make them, and they were a bright yellow that gleamed in the darkness of the nursery.

The kit had Lunarpaw’s eyes.

————————–

This wasn’t that fun for me to write but here, Swirltail being tormented by the horrors! (I haven’t decided a name for the kit lol)

=======================================

--CLIFFHANGER CLIFFHANGER CLIFFHANGER CLIFFHANGER

--OHMYGODWHATISSHEGONNANAMEHER 

Something bad? Something good, hoping it will ward off ‘evil?’

What if she gave the kit a normal name around others but bad names when they’re alone?

Me in warrior cats: get back to digging, Blacklung and Coalkit

[pizzasdumbcats]

Coalpaw has officially evolved into coalgem

[wc-sweetwhisker]

Sorry for so many hypokit requests, so take your time, but I just love all your characters! Perhaps hypokits between Sweetwhisker and Robin/Lark/Briar? (You can pick which gal)

i did one for each!!

coalkit is sweet x briar, bramblekit is sweet x robin, and birdkit is sweet x lark!

all three of the girls had a crush on sweet at some point lol

World Update 1

World updates will happen once a day, they will bring up important events that have happened through the day (that have to do with the roleplays not out of character stuff)

Today's world update,

Riverclan- We have 2 kits who have been made apprentices today! Honeypaw, being trained by Bearfrost and Riverpaw, being trained by Stormgaze!

Windclan- we have a new protecter of the camp, the mighty coalkit, fighting all the meanies who come into camp, including the meanest meanie of them all, spottedkit.

[fallenclan]

are quail’s kits outsider or half-clan?

-🦇

half-clan! i'm not certain yet, but I do have my eyes on a specific cat for the father.

Bluefrost of Archclan! he's around her age and looks a lot like the kits. he has Coalkit's singlestripe pattern, and he passed his long fur down to Ashkit. he's also bloodthirsty, in case anyone was wondering.

[songofthewarriors]

A Gathering has been held!

ThunderClan has had five new kittens, parented by Lynxstar and Hailsky - Boulderkit, Maplekit, Eaglekit, Hickorykit and Tumblekit! In addition, they will soon be holding the NewLeaf Ceremony, in celebration of the territory being regrown!

ShadowClan has had one new warrior and two new apprentices - Ashendust, Emberpaw and Sootpaw!

RiverClan has had a tragedy befall them recently; senior warrior, Streamflower, was found murdered along the stream. Her murderer has not been identified yet whispers among warriors look to blame either WindClan or DarkClan. In addition, however, RiverClan welcomes three new kits into the clan - Morningkit, Coalkit and Webkit. Most interesting enough, Morningkit has an element never seen before by the Valley, the Light element. Only time will see what abilities the kit has

WindClan has lost another deputy due to their ongoing wolf problem, yet have seem to have found a solution - they have installed a tunneling system below ground, run by their Earth and Ice elementals, and it seems to be working well. They also welcome four warriors and many kits into their ranks - Duckrun, Rainbloom, Eveningdove and Mossleap as well as Creekkit, Kestrelkit, Brackenkit, Brookkit, and Mothkit mothered by Fallowbird as well as Bumblekit, fathered by Stormstar.

DarkClan has been affected most by the Great Rumbling, an earthquake that hit DarkClan, RiverClan and ShadowClan territory in late leafbare, though even after their defeat in the battle of Splash Cove, they remain strong - they have gained two apprentices and a kit, Halfpaw, Finchpaw and Magpiekit, brother to Bumblekit and mothered by Ravenstar. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Magpiekit was born an Air Elemental and must leave DarkClan when he becomes an apprentice.

✨ for Coalstar?

✨ initial thoughts / opinions

coalstar is excellent because i think she’s a very interesting shade of morally gray, personally. i don’t doubt she’d die for mountainclan, and that’s kinda part of the problem. she cares a lot about it and upholding its legacies, and even though she doesn’t like timberclan, she’s still upholding that gathering because that’s what starclan says is best for them. on the other hand, that love is extremely conditional by nature. larchfur crossed the line, and now she doesn’t seem to have any qualms about placing him firmly into a sort of “other” role in her mind. and, truly? while her actions are of course of her own volition, everything she is and ever was has been shaped by her predestined role. coalkit or coalpaw or coalshadow never got the chance to just have a normal mountainclan life, or taught that her own personal desires mattered- ultimately, as intimidating as she can be, that’s just sad. also, her motives and behaviors tend to parallel martenpaw’s, if in an older/more resigned about it kind of way, and the implications of that. ouch. mountainclan cultural issues transcend their generations.

Arc1, book 2: Chapter 8

Icebelly panted as he forced his paws forward. His sides ached but he had to keep going. He felt like he needed too.

He kept saying he needed to leave camp, and wouldn't stop. Dustpelt and Lionheart were on guard and shut him down every time until Bluestar told them to let him go. He honestly wondered why she let him go.

The camp didn't feel safe like it should've. Greencough still remained, taking hold of Birchstep, Willowpelt, Palepaw, Swiftpaw, and Smokepaw tightly.

Graypaw and Cranepaw fought Lionheart and Miststrike a few days ago, earning the names Graystripe and Cranewing. It was the only good news in a while.

He hadn't realized he got so far until he tripped over a tree root. He smelled the scent of the homes and knew he'd gone far enough. He looked at the tree 'Hollow enough' he thought and pulled himself into it.

He steadied his breathing as he readied for the birth of his kits. He would raise them as Thunderclan and Thunderclan alone. He was glad Bluestar never said anything about them. The other clans could assume where they came from, less chance for Brokenstar to make the connection if Blackfoot kept his trap shut.

-Flashback-

Icebelly had spent most of the gathering having a stare off with Blackfoot before sitting with him and Russetfur in the back. He was surprised Bluestar let him come with him close to kitting, though you couldn't tell with his fur being even more fluffy due to the weather.

"How's Thunderclan these past moons?" Russetfur asked, her gaze towards the sky

"Living, I can assume the same for Shadowclan"

Blackfoot nodded stiffly

Russetfur glanced at Icebelly "How are you and the 'things'"

Icebelly snapped his head towards Blackfoot "You son of a-"

"I figured it out for myself cousin" Russetfur cut in, she turned away her gaze again "Relax"

"Hard to if your leader ever finds out"

"We know" Blackfoot and Russetfur said in unison

"Icebelly" Lakepaw's purr made Icebelly's heart melt

"Hey Lakepaw, how's training been so far?"

"Great Voleclaw's an awesome mentor. So is Whiteclaw for Condorpaw though he's stuck at camp for an injury" she mewed, she glanced at Blackfoot and Russetfur "Who are you two?"

"None of your fu-" Blackfoot replied but was cut off by Russetfur "I'm Russetfur and the masked frog-brain is Blackfoot"

Thunderclan has been doing well. We have two new warriors with us: Graystripe and Cranewing"

"Graystripe Graystripe Cranewing Cranewing" Thunderclan cheered

"Goldenflower and Frostbite have moved into the nursery and will kit any day now, that is all" Bluestar mewed stepping back and letting Stormstar take her place.

"Riverclan has been doing well these past moons" Stormstar mewed "We have a new warrior this evening, Flamepaw has gotten her warrior name in Flameshell"

"Flameshell Flameshell" Icebelly heard the Riverclan warriors cheer. "Flameshell" he chanted and he gazed around for Moonclaw but he didn't see her.

"Suneyes has recently given birth to her second litter, the kits are named Whirlkit, Flarekit, and Shinekit, Skyeyes also had a litter of four sired by Stonefur: Blackkit, Coalkit, Pikekit, and Dogkit, Sootwhisker has given to birth to three kits: Shellkit, Hailkit, and Mosskit. Mallowtail has given birth to her third litter with Frogleap: Gullkit. Dawnscale had a litter of two named: Mink-kit and Garkit as well as Swanlight is expecting her third litter with Reedtail and Mistyfoot's expecting their first litter with Mudbelly and Leopardclaw's kits"

Icebelly raised an eyebrow

"Mistyfoot's using they/them now" Lakepaw answered "Seaweedpaw helped spread it around camp and it all worked out by sunhigh"

"Stormstar loves me lots to name his kit after me" Mossthorn purred a few paces away

"He adopted you front of Thistleclaw's face Moss" Stonefur added

"Exactly, loves me lots"

The gray tabby stepped back and let Duskstar step forward.

"Windclan also has been doing well. We have two new warriors in Runningbrook and Webfoot this night"

"Runningbrook Runningbrook Webfoot Webfoot" The Windclan cats cheered

"Marigoldwing has moved into the nursery expecting Bristleclaw's kits. Appledawn, Rabbit-tail, and Sorrelflight are expecting litters as well. Wrenflight has given birth to a litter of three: Harekit, Dandalionkit, and Poppykit, Thrushwing has given birth to a litter of two: Stonekit and Lark-kit, Aspenfall also has given birth to a litter of two: Cypresskit and Tumblekit"

"Congrats Cloudrunner" Icebelly heard Petalstream purr

"Thanks"

"Tawnykit, Rushkit, Ryekit, Robinkit, Eaglekit, Marblekit, and Thornkit were apprenticed" Duskstar continued "Tawnypaw is Barkface's apprentice training as a seer, Rushpaw is mentored by Mudclaw, Ryepaw is mentored by Deadfoot, Robinpaw is mentored by Marigoldwing, Eaglepaw is mentored by Cloudrunner, Marblepaw is mentored by Runningbrook, and Thornpaw is mentored by Woolcloud"

Duskstar was stepping back but Brokenstar made a petty shove past him.

"Shadowclan has good and bad news to share" Brokenstar mewed, his sorrow was so fake Icebelly nearly gagged "Shadowclan welcomes Amberfoot's kits: Slatekit and Sootkit. We have new members in Pineshadow and Crowcloud along with the kits they carry. Whitethroat has had his third litter in Hollylock-kit and Dark-kit. Blackfoot found a kitten abandoned and alone near twolegplace and Shadowclan has named the kit Graykit and taken her in under Fernshade's care" He spoke like he cared about these lives "We have a new apprentice: Buzzardpaw mentored by Clawface" Brokenstar hung his head "The bad news is that Ash-heart and Dappleclaw were killed by a dog, Dappleclaw weakened from birthing her daughter Beetlekit but the dog has since been chased out"

"If there is no more news then-" Bluestar was cut off by Brokenstar

"Now now Bluestar, what's the rush?" he mewed, seeming innocent "There's still moonlight. Why not stick around for a while longer before we return to our camps"

'Considering the last time we weren't at camp' Icebelly thought with anger. He glanced at Bluestar who glanced at Redtail. The deputy nodded to her.

The other leaders hesitated but agreed. Bluestar jumped from the great rock and padded over to Stonefur, Willowheart, Minnowpool, Silverstream, and Mistyfoot with Stormstar in tow. He spotted Redtail slowly leaving the clearing. Duskstar and Brokenstar stayed on the rock but Duskstar stayed far away from the dark tabby.

"We'll be off" Russetfur mewed "Things could get tense, come on Blackfoot"

The two Shadows padded over mixed in with their clan mates

"Lakepaw!" Voleclaw called "Come here, it's important"

"Coming" she replied, she quickly nuzzled Icebelly "See ya big brother"

"All alone" he grumbled "Might as well see Thornpaw and Marblepaw" He padded over to the Windclan section, trying not to step on cats paws.

"Marblepaw! Thornpaw!" he called

"Uncle" Marblepaw purred as she padded over "I'm so glad you're here"

"Made this night better;" Thornpaw muttered "not with Luna"

"Why?"

Marblepaw shifted her paws "Mother's left the clan"

Icebelly's eyes widened in shock "What? I though she said she'd leave when you got your warrior names"

"Mother wasn't happy" Thornpaw shrugged, his green eyes staring at the ground "Who were we to stop her?"

"When did she leave?"

"A few days ago, said she wanted to go back home" Marblepaw replied "She asked us if we wanted to join her but we like Windclan and Grandpa Juniper, Bark, and Dusk"

Icebelly let a chuckle "I'm glad you two are doing okay all things considered"

Thornpaw puffed out his fluffy chest "Of course, we'll be the best Windclan warriors ever"

"Runningbrook's great as a mentor" Marblepaw mewed "We'll be warriors in no time"

"I'm sure you will"

"Better than being a snotty apprentice like Tawnypaw Thornpaw added "Every since she got apprentice, Tawnypaw has been bossing the rest of us around"

"Marblepaw come here, I want to show you to my cousin Frogleap" Runningbrook called, xyr eyes gleamed with excitement "He's fine I promise"

"Coming" Marblepaw padded over to her mentor

"I'll go find Eaglepaw and Rushpaw" Thornpaw mewed, he nuzzled Icebelly quickly "See you around Uncle"

He waved to Thornpaw as he left.

'Damn it Luna' he thought 'would've been kind to tell me before you fucked off'

He started to drift into the coward, no real direction in sight. He didn't want to talk with anyone at this point, least of all Dewflare but fate likes to fuck with him.

"Icebelly" Dewflare mewed sweetly "Long time no see" her smile comforted him like a fox looking at a rabbit

"Not long enough" they replied coldly, if he wasn't expecting he'd have no problem causing a scene but he didn't want Dewflare knowing about these kits.

"Icebelly" he saw Roachpaw and Flypaw approach him

"Hey guys" he replied, still guarded "How's training?"

"Great" Flypaw purred "We'll be better than Copperpaw was"

Icebelly cocked their head "Was?"

"We're not weak like Copperpaw" Roachpaw sneered "We're not afraid to kill unlike Copperpaw who couldn't handle some rats"

"We won't back away from battle" Flypaw boasted "Then Brokenstar will have to make us warriors just like Badgerfang and Pinetail. He's already talking about it"

Icebelly keeps his face neutral to hide his disgust and horror. He met Dewflare's gaze head on, he found nothing in her amber eyes except bloodlust.

-Flashback ends-

It was easy to ignore the problem then get involved but Icebelly knew he'd have to do something. It wasn't just because of the star's plan but his own feelings as well. Goosefeather told him it was their own choice but.

He did his best to keep breathing, to not fall asleep. It hurt so much. Like he was being ripped in two.

"Keep going kit" Icebelly snapped out of his thoughts "You have a long way to go"

"Yellowfang" he whimpered "It hurts"

She started grooming him "I know but it's worth it" she rested a paw on his belly "push Icebelly"

He did and he screeched "It feels like I'm on fire"

A tiny wail made his heart melt

"You have a son" Yellowfang mewed "Loud voice" she started feeling his belly again "I think you'll have four or five more"

"Fuck why?" he groaned, the pains becoming more sharper as time passed

"Seems the stars have blessed you"

"or cursed me" Icebelly snapped back, he gasped as another wave of pain flooded him

"Push" Yellowfang said "I can see the head"

Icebelly yowled but was quickly shushed with Yellowfang's tail in his mouth. It bit into it in pain, Yellowfang was completely unfazed.

"...A molly" Yellowfang mewed "Keep going I see another"

He felt his paw spasm and he used the other to grip Yellowfang's tail tightly.

"Another molly, push again, I see another head"

Icebelly felt like his body was on fire. He whimpered through Yellowfang's tail.

"Molly, four kits so far" Yellowfang rubbed his belly "Three more I expect"

Icebelly hissed at that

"I'm always told that house cats have big litters didn't think it was true until now"

"I was never a housecat, Dewflare was" he spat "I lived on the streets, my life was never easy like others think it was, I fought for prey and shelter just like they do everyday but does it matter-" he was cut off by another crash of pain and Yellowfang told him to push once more

"Two slipped out" Yellowfang commented "One more to go"

Icebelly was panting, his sides aching and they felt like they were going to die. Yellowfang's tail moved a bit and his eyes fluttered open. "Now falling asleep until this done Icebelly, stay strong"

Icebelly could do nothing but pant and lash his tail. A sharp pain made him shoot up and yowl.

"Push, real hard. The kit is a little stuck. Push Icebelly"

Icebelly pushed with all he had, which wasn't a lot at this point. The snow was finally getting to his pelt and he was starting to shiver.

"Seven kits, a tom and six mollies. Congrats kit"

/

It had only been a week since the birth of his kits and just the thought of them gave him strength to hunt, maybe even fighter better if Thymeroot would let him. He was already a good fighter to begin with though, his own knowledge of fighting as well as Tiger-roar, Bluestar, and even Swanlight's methods helped as well.

Thymeroot really advised them not to go out but Icebelly couldn't stand to watch his clan starve when he knew of a place to get prey. Cinderpaw's training was being taken over by Bluestar at the moment and he just needed to do something.

He headed back to camp with five fat mice and a squirrel. It was his most impressive catch since winter had begun. He had been hunting in twolegplace for a while now, the gardens had been filled with prey to hunt. Chocolate's advice as well as Oliver helping at times worked well for him. He had tracked down Luna yesterday, more like tackled her to the ground. Didn't resolve much, they got into a fight would've gotten more physical if not for Scourge and Brick stepping in:

-Flashback-

"Nothing's changed with you two" Scourge had drawled. Her ice-blue eyes had held nothing but resigned annoyance

"You're surprised by that?" Icebelly retorted

"Not as much as I should be" Scourge replied

"At least you having kits didn't put you outta practice Splinter" Luna commented

"Could say the same with you for the kits you left high and dry"

Luna bared her teeth "They wanted to stay, it was too late to drag them away"

"That sounds like a you problem"

"Shut it both of you" Scourge ordered

"Nah love" Brick mewed, their ginger tail flicking with amusement "Let em go"

"You all make me question my sanity damnit" Scourge groaned

"You're the one who went gender is weird ago" Tommy butted in "Didn't feel right"

"It didn't for me on some level Tommy" Scourge looked ready to cuff him over the ears "I'm partly a molly and the rest is nothing"

"Looks like I didn't really miss much" Icebelly rolled his eyes

"Oh you missed Scourge screeching bloody murder during their kitting"

"You had kits?!" Icebelly's jaw dropped in shock

"Is it that surprising that I did?"

"Yes"

"Mama" a small voice squeaked "Who's that?"

Icebelly cocked his head to see five kits "I'm your uncle" he purred

Scourge sighed "Splinter meet Rook, Quince, Smoke, Jackel, and Leo"

-Flashback ends-

He didn't think his catch was that impressive to others but he guessed wrong when Nightshade went wide-eyed on his catch. The large black molly dropped the pitiful bone from her mouth when she saw his kills.

"Where in the name of Thunderstar's cry did you catch those?" Nightshade nearly screeched. Cats saw the prey and looked at it with greed.

"I caught them in Thunderclan territory?" he lied, and what others didn't know wouldn't hurt them. Though he was allowed to hunt there he didn't know how his clanmates would react. Thunderclan pride was strong in some of them.

"Where? my patrol only found one small mouse and Ebonypaw only barely managed to catch it" Miststrike mewed from beside her sister "Anything else has been too skinny or to sick to eat"

"Uh by the owl tree, I was probably lucky" Icebelly replied

"I'll note to send hunting patrols around the Owl tree for a while" Redtail stated "You should rest Icebelly"

"I feel fine and Brindleface said they were fine watching my kits"

"Did you feed them?"

"Before I left, I wasn't gone long"

"Icebelly I know you want to help however you are a new father, rest and spend time with your kits"

Redtail's words held more meaning and Icebelly knew it. Pouncepaw and Amberpaw had fallen ill with greencough, it didn't look good for either of them.

"Have you named them yet?"

Icebelly shook his head "I have two moons to decide, I was going to let the kits show themselves before I did"

Redtail chuckled "That's why I got Red- for maple leaves"

"It was night when I was born and the crazed seer at the time loved his poisons " Nightshade eyed his kills, her mouth parted "Drop some of those for us while you're at it"

"Nightshade" Redtail warned "Control yourself"

Icebelly could see for a rare moment, Nightshade allowed herself to be more open. Her eyes displayed her hunger and desire for food. She took a quick breath and her green eyes once again were guarded "Yes Redtail" she stood up "I'll hunt near the Owl tree right now if I may"

Miststrike padded up to her sister "I'll join you, let's see if we can find Tiger and Mom"

Redtail nodded to two "Go ahead" he turned his head back to Icebelly "Nursery now, I'll take three mice, take the rest to the nursery"

"Yes sir"

Icebelly nodded, as he padded to the nursery he saw some of his clanmates namely Darkstripe glare at him. Their ribs were visible and their eyes looked a little crazed with hunger. He wondered if they would start fighting each other for food. Despite his best efforts, Oakpaw is easy to read. He told them about how everyone was fighting for a piece back in Shadowclan.

He padded into the nursery, he didn't have to look too far for Brindleface who was close to the entrance.

He nuzzled his kits "How were they?"

"Squirmy" Brindleface sighed "As they are at this state"

Icebelly pulled the kits close to his belly, three of the mollies quickly latched and began to nurse.

"Sorry I dumped them on you today"

"It's fine, I know the feeling of wanting to move around" Brindleface replied "Any names for them yet?"

Icebelly glanced and took a good look at his kits "I'm not too sure honestly"

"Certainly you won't name them without me" Icebelly of course had to be reminded who the clan thought the sire was for all seven of these kits. Chestnutclaw looked fresh from patrol, a battle one from the sight of cobwebs and marigold on his leg.

"You want to be involved?" Icebelly replied dryly

"But of course, they're not just your kits Icebelly"

"How I wish that was the case"

Brindleface gave Icebelly a concerned look but Icebelly reassured them with a soft paw to the shoulder. "I'll be over there" they mewed, herding their kits "Call if you need help, Frostbite and Goldenflower will be back soon anyway" they quickly whispered as they padded to the other side of the den.

Without really looking at him, Icebelly motioned for Chestnutclaw to come forward. The reddish-brown tom sat a few meters from him but was able to see the kits.

"Have any name ideas?" Icebelly asked dully "I haven't really got much"

"Why didn't you name them when they were born?"

"I'm allowed to wait for two moons at least" he mewed

He watched the larger tom gaze over the kits intently, his gaze was mostly centered over the two biggest kits of the litter so far it caused him to stare at them himself. The tom was a pure white just like him and the molly was a copy of Chestnutclaw. He glanced at the others, the second molly appearance almost made him flinch, she looked very similar to Brokenstar except her pelt was lighter and more grayish.

'Did Yellowfang realize?' he thought with horror 'Starclan help me'

The third molly was a ginger point just like Cherrycloud. The fourth was a ginger tabby molly, her stripes reminded him of Blazefang.

'At least I can tell who sired who' he thought

The fifth molly was a dark brown tabby as well but her pelt was darker than her sister's tabby pelt, the sixth molly was a tortoiseshell and white, the seventh molly, the runt was a gray tabby, a darker tone than what Rosetail had.

"This molly is the biggest of her sisters" he touched the kitten softly, which was shocking "She should have a strong name, maybe after her kin"

"Name her after your mother and I'll rip your throat out" Icebelly stated bluntly. He'd be damned if he let one of his kits share a name with that bitch. He should be glad he wouldn't have to share a den with her but Robinwing made it known she was expecting another litter.

Hearing a chuckle from Chestnutclaw felt so unnatural on many levels especially when he wasn't laughing at someone else.

"I was thinking of Rosekit for my copy since it would match her pelt however since you said that-"

"I meant Robinwing and you know it" He licked the molly "Rosekit is fine"

"What about the tom?"

Icebelly gazed at his son, he was so soft against his fur. Soft like a cloud. "Cloudkit"

"What?"

"I want my son to be named Cloudkit"

Chestnutclaw gazed at the tom then shrugged "I have nothing better"

///////////////////////////////////////////////////

"Little bastards" Whitethroat muttered. He still felt the stinging bites of the vile rodents on his pelt, he honestly refused to get them treated until Littlecloud begged him for his kits. He had been pretty distant from his kits since their birth, he just didn't feel the sudden bond that he was supposed to feel, it was the same with Hollowheart and Burdockpaw. Darkflower and Poppyflower took turns watching them but they did tell him he needed to step up before they were old enough to know what was happening.

It was hard though, he wanted to be there but he just...he didn't know how he felt at this point.

He didn't feel the pain as much anymore. Was it the beatings he got from Mossclaw or was it how his mind felt broken from Brokenstar and Dewflare's words?

He knew he wasn't fixable, that much was certain. He was nothing but a whore made for breeding or a worthless pelt for battles.

Shadowclan felt dead from the inside out. Nothing really mattered to Whitethroat at this point.

He saw Lizardstripe and Mudfoot spit of Adderpaw's body when they didn't survive Mudfoot's torture. Badgerfang and Wetfoot soon tore into the young cat's body like bees took to honey.

He saw Badgerfang tear into Newtspeck, the center of camp still smelled like her blood. Whitethroat didn't so much as shiver when the light left her eyes. He was too busy ripping one of her legs off to care. Not like Poppyflower or Appletooth cared or could afford to.

He didn't bat an eye when he watched Mossclaw force Hollylock-kit on his member and quickly followed with Dark-kit. Maybe it was his fear or how numb he was to it at this point. It was probably the numbness when Mossclaw fucked him when he was done with the kits.

Being here didn't bring anything other than pain or emptiness.

"So do we do Whitethroat?" Batpaw asked "Why are we at Carrionplace?"

Whitethroat took the catmint he stored in his tail and inhaled it. Palecloud, Beepaw, and Blossompaw were too busy helping a bleeding out Tangleburr to notice him snatching the catmint. That was as much escape as he could get.

"To watch the little fuck bags and kill a few for diner" he replied, his ear twitching as a fly landed on it then flew away. His tail-tip started flicking as snowflakes started falling.

Batpaw looked a little frightened, the fur on her back began to rise. "Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"No but Brokenstar told me I had to bring you here, I don't know why we couldn't just patrol the territory like Sootmask is doing with Pricklepaw or battle train like Viperfang is doing with Muddypaw but whatever our darling leader says goes I guess" the words were just pouring out of him like blood.

That's what it was anyway. Blood everywhere he stepped, no matter where he went.

Batpaw took that answer and shut her jaw.

"Crouch like I showed you then when one of those little fuckers is close pounce" Whitethroat advised

Batpaw knew how to follow orders and follow them well. She caught three so far. "Good, you won't starve" Whitethroat purred. It felt weird doing that after so long.

"What do you mean?"

"You know how to hunt Batpaw, most of the cats in Shadowclan don't know how to from Brokenstar's rant on "We need all our energy for battle and hunting is useless"

Batpaw swiped at another rat "If he says hunting is useless then why are we hunting?"

Whitethroat decided to let the fox loose from the den "I lied about Brokenstar sending us here, we were suppose to tour the territory and teach you about mating, the queens need to eat"

"Mating like what Blossompaw does with Brokenstar!" Batpaw freaked out "But what about Brokenstar or Clawface or Nutwhisker?"

Whitethroat laughed "I don't give a shit Batpaw, the clan can't survive on crowfood alone so we are bringing some prey that won't come back up, it's leaf-bare Batpaw we need as much prey as we can get"

Batpaw looked concerned at Whitethroat "Are you okay? in the head I mean"

Whitethroat snorted another of the catmint "After everything" he laughed "I'm fucking great Batpaw thanks for asking"

/

The hunting went well. Nine rats to show for it. The queens were pleased with the catches while Brokenstar was not, he could see the leader seething Dewflare and Muddywater seemed to be trying to calm him down.

"Are Rowankit and Cedarkit healthy?" he asked, ignoring the glare he was getting.

"So far yes" Russetfur replied, Darkflower mumbled something in her ear and rested her head in the small of Russetfur's back "Lavenderkit has a cut and Nightkit has a bellyache"

Blackfoot and Russetfur getting paired to have kits was an interesting combination. Honestly Russetfur was probably the only molly Blackfoot would ever want to mate with.

He knew Brokenstar didn't want anything with Darkflower since Sharp-paw's birth; she had Scorchfang's kits once again. Dawncloud had another litter already: Ratkit and Snowkit but he had no idea who the sire was. All Dawncloud said was that it wasn't anyone in Shadowclan.

"I'll get some willow" Blossompaw mewed, starting to walk out "Palecloud just got a fresh batch and Beepaw found more marigold"

"How's Sharp-paw?" Russetfur asked

"Alive" he replied bluntly

"Um Whitethroat?"

"What?"

"Come outside" Blossompaw mewed

"I'll watch Hollylock and Dark" Crowcloud mewed

Crowcloud had been watching his kits while she waited for her kits to come. Whitethroat had gotten close with Pineshadow and Crowcloud since they came. It felt nice to be in a genuine embrace rather than one from sex.

"Umm why does Brokenstar look like he's going to rip your throat out?" Sootmask asked, Duskthorn and Frogtail look just as unsettled.

"What happened" Duskthorn asked

{What did you do!?} Frogtail signed frantically

Whitethroat let out a laugh "Does it matter?"

"Not really" Blossompaw replied "You're getting it now"

"Whitethroat" the loud yell made the apprentices jump. Lizardpaw looked scared to death, Dirtpaw tried hiding her fear while Batpaw hid behind Whitethroat.

Whitethroat rolled his eyes "Batpaw go to Houndbelly, she'll want help with your brothers" he ordered "The rest of you go find your mothers"

"Yes Whitethroat" Batpaw was gone like a light. The other apprentices didn't need to be told twice, running with their tails between their legs.

As soon as they left, Brokenstar let all hell break loose.

"You hunted when I wanted Batpaw to tour the territory and teach her place in mating" Brokenstar bared his yellow teeth "Do you have a death wish?"

"Yep" Whitethroat could feel the catmint high going down, he didn't care though.

Brokenstar struck his left cheek "Frogbrain" he snarled

"I know what you are but what am I?" he replied, licking the blood as it fell to his mouth. He had a taste for blood he was trying to break but it was hard when it spilled all around him. Didn't help what he was fed most of the time.

Brokenstar shoved him to the ground, claws digging into his chest. His clanmates were either watching or didn't care and did their own things. He saw Badgerfang, Littlecloud, and Wetfoot staring at this exchange.

"I should kill you right now" Brokenstar growled, increasing the pressure on his chest

"Nothing's stopping you uncle" Whitethroat mewed, laying his head on the ground staring at the night sky "Yellowfang's in Thunderclan, Palecloud is one of your many punching bags, Beepaw is your obedient little shit, Dewflare does anything she can to make our lives miserable, Blossompaw loves you for fucked reasons, you broke Marshshadow's leg, half-blinded Blazefang because neither of them wanted to mate with you and Raggedstar's dead and gone but she would always bend herself over for you, I'm at your will"

Brokenstar looked shocked that Whitethroat phrased everything like that. Brokenstar dug his claws further in his chest, brought Whitethroat up then smashed him back onto the ground.

"You're as weak and foolish as your father Whitethroat you know that"

"He was better than you so that's a compliment"

Brokenstar struck him on his other cheek. Whitethroat thought his eyes would burn in flames from the fire that sparked in there.

Brokenstar got off him and padded to the high branch. "All cats gather round, I have new orders in place"

Whitethroat felt Wetfoot and Badgerfang pushing him to stand. "What were you thinking?" Wetfoot hissed

"Finally being free" Death didn't seem like a bad option anymore. His blood spilling in the camp didn't seem all that bad. He wanted it to spill everywhere.

"Go to the nursery" Badgerfang ordered, his voice barely holding any emotion anymore. He was a killing machine by Brokenstar's design. "So you don't embarrass yourself further"

"No no I want to know what foxdung his spewing now" Whitethroat shoved them away from him "I want to hear it"

"It's not going to be good" Wetfoot mewed

"No shit"

"Attention everyone" Brokenstar began "It seems mating and kit stock is decreasing lately" Cats looked confused at his words but Whitethroat could take a very good guess of what he meant.

"I want pregnancies to be consistent" Brokenstar continued "However my warriors have expressed they want some relief" he smirked wickedly "All mollies who aren't expecting, I ask you to: line up in two opposite lines, face down and ass up"

'Ask?' Whitethroat mentally scoffed 'I see demand'

The elite started shoving mollies into the center, he was no different. The hisses and mews made his head hurt, he covered his face and ears with his paws. He had been too wrapped in the senses to prepare himself when he felt someone shove his tail upwards and plunged into him.

It surprisingly shocked him how his body would still respond to this act. He thought was numb there at this point.

"Oh Whitethroat, our third litter will be glorious" Mossclaw groaned

"Mossclaw deal with her later" Brokenstar called "Want to fuck Marshshadow's face?"

"I'll take Marshshadow's jaw over Bigteeth any day" Mossclaw pulled out of Whitethroat quickly bounded over to where Marshshadow was being held down by Brokenstar.

"I can show you Bigteeth mother-" her mouth was covered by Dewflare.

"No insulting your superiors Blazefang" The tortie mewed "Expecting mollies should not test others"

"Go fuck yourself"

"Rat duty, let's put those teeth to work" Dewflare ordered "Now!"

"Better than being here" Blazefang walked off but not before turning back to Whitethroat "Coming?"

Whitethroat didn't even hesitate to agree.
