Chapter Twelve
Dreamriver padded out of the Sparrowleaf's den, in pure shock. Cloudriver padded up to her in worry.
"Are you okay Dreamriver? Did something happen?"
She nodded for the first question, and shook her head for the second.
"I-i'm fine Cloudriver. Really...."
She shook her pelt, and tried to be calm again. Cloudriver nodded, still not believing her fully.
"You want to go hunting?"
She shook her head.
"I'm um... going to rest a bit. My shoulder is quite sore..."
Cloudriver nodded.
"O-okay... I'll bring you back a fish we can share."
He licked her shoulder gently before padding after the hunting patrol. I hate lying to him! She dug her claws into the ground and growled. Then she saw Eagleheart running over to her.
"Dreamriver! Dreamriver!"
Eagleheart's eyes were filled with happiness.
"Guess what!"
Dreamriver couldn't help but purr at her friend.
"What?"
Eagleheart tried to stop purring to speak.
"Me and Hollowcry are mates! But that's not all!"
Dreamriver smiled.
"That's great! I'm so happy for you!"
Eagleheart purred then continued.
"I'm expecting his kits!"
Dreamriver stiffened, then forced a smiled.
"Congratulations! They'll be perfect."
She gently nudged Eagleheart's shoulder. Eagleheart was radiating happiness and joy.
"I'm going to join the Nursery today. Sparrowleaf said they're coming soon."
Eagleheart pranced on the spot. Dreamriver smiled, though her heart was beating very fast.
"Want me to help you collect some moss?"
Eagleheart shook her head.
"That's okay Dreamriver. Hollowcry has already offered."
Dreamriver felt her heart sink.
"Oh. Okay. Go on, I think he's waiting."
Dreamriver forced a purr as Eagleheart spun around and padded "calmly" to Hollowcry. Then Dreamriver let out a slight yowl of shock as she felt something hit her side. She spun around, and saw she was facing Frostkit. Frostkit crouched on the ground.
"Sorry Dreamriver! Tigerkit and I were just playing!"
Dreamriver smiled.
"It's okay."
She looked at the piece of moss in front of Frostkit. She hooked the moss onto he claw, and threw it to where Tigerkit was. Frostkit leaped up and raced after it, determined to get it before Tigerkit. But that was nearly impossible, it landed only a mouse length from Tigerkit. Dreamstar let out a mrrow of laughter, then sighed. She padded out of camp, and padded to the MarshClan border.
She narrowed her eyes as a hunting patrol padded along the border. They didn't give her one glance, except for a black tom with silver streaks. She recognized him from Gatherings. Rippleblaze, the MarshClan deputy. He nodded at her, to show he noticed her, then continued to walk on. They all had prey in their mouths. They must be heading back to camp. She sat down, and stared into the river.
"Are you okay Dreamriver? Did something happen?"
She nodded for the first question, and shook her head for the second.
"I-i'm fine Cloudriver. Really...."
She shook her pelt, and tried to be calm again. Cloudriver nodded, still not believing her fully.

Rippleblaze, the MarshClan deputy. He nodded at her, to show he noticed her, then continued to walk on. They all had prey in their mouths. They must be heading back to camp. She sat down, and stared into the river.
A MOON LATER
A yowl of pain ripped through the camp. Dreamriver was sitting in the Nursery, licking Eagleheart's head. This birth was going terribly wrong, and Sparrowleaf was keeping Hollowcry away, telling him to do certain things.
"Come on Eagleheart... you can do it."
Eagleheart had already had one kit. It had been born dead, sent much too early to the paws of StarClan. Eagleheart yowled, and another kit came.
"Come on. One more!"
Eagleheart had lost lots and lots of blood, and was very weak. She panted, and her eyes started to droop. Then, a spasm ripped through Eagleheart, and she pushed once more. The final kit came. Dreamriver looked over to see that Sparrowleaf had abandoned the second kit for the last kit. The second kit had also been born dead. Sparrowleaf licked the last kit clean, and cleared out it's throat. A faint mew came from it, and he quickly picked it up and ran to his done. Mumbling to Leopardwing on his way out. Leopardwing gave some poppy seeds, thyme and borage to Eagleheart. Soon enough, she had drifted to sleep.
Dreamriver saw Hollowcry come in.
"W-what happened?"
She got up and padded up to him.
"She had three kits, two died. Sparrowleaf has the last."
Right then, Sparrowleaf padded in wearily with the kit. He placed it beside Eagleheart.
"I can not do anymore for the kit. It is very weak. It'll be lucky to survive past one moon, let alone a night. I'm sorry."
Hollowcry nodded, and licked Eagleheart's head. He stared at the small tom. The tom was a tortoiseshell like Hollowcry.
"Just in case you don't make it. I shall name you right now."
He pressed his nose softly against the kit's forehead.
"Touchkit. Because you have already touched my heart."
Dreamriver felt her heart speed up, and she backed out of the Nursery. Then, a different yowl split across the camp. This time, a battle yowl. SandClan had attacked again!!

Chapter Eleven
Dreamriver padded through a forest. Sunlight brightened every corner. Prey scent filled her nose. She jumped as an eagle cried out far above her. She narrowed her eyes, then saw the eagle diving towards her. She yowled, and saw it's talons glinting in the sun. She closed her eyes tight, but never felt the eagle's talons grip her.
When she re-opened her eyes, she was in the medicine cat den. She sighed in relief, and stood up. Her paw was better, but she had got a cough, so Sparrowleaf had told her to stay in the medicine cat den overnight.
"Sparrowleaf, can I go now?"
Sparrowleaf looked over to her.
"Sure Dreamriver. It doesn't seem to be WhiteCough, yet. But just come back everyday for some tansy, and maybe feverfew. We don't need it to get worse"
Dreamriver nodded a thanks, and padded out of the medicine cat's den. She yawned, and stretched her legs. Rainblossom had given birth to two she-cats, and was watching her two new kits, Tigerkit and Frostkit. Dreamriver smiled. Maybe I'll have kits of my own someday. This thought brightened her mind, because after Hawkclaw attacked Dreamriver, Dreamriver and Cloudriver had become mates. It was the best thing that had happened to her.
She padded into the forest to look for Cloudriver. She padded along, feeling secure. Then, she heard a few voices. She narrowed her eyes, and thought about climbing a tree, but LakeClan cats were not built for tree climbing. She crept through the undergrowth, when the scent hit her. SandClan. The scent was overpowering, like the whole clan was there! Dreamriver backed away slowly, before racing back to camp to warn Miststar.
She burst into the camp, panting hard.
"Miststar!!! Patrol... intruders... Attacking... S-sandClan!"
Miststar's eyes widened, but before she could take any action, SandClan burst into the camp. Rainblossom shrieked and grabbed Frostkit. Dreamriver saw Freezecloud race across the clearing, and scoop up Tigerkit, before rushing into the Nursery. Leaf-fall and Honeystripe were doing the same. Dreamriver snarled, and leaped onto a black she-cat, and pushing her away before racing out of camp.
There were three patrols out, and Cloudriver was in one of them! She raced through the forest silently, before coming up along the MarshClan border. She scented the air, and followed the fresh scent of the patrol. Finally, she found them.
"Get back to camp! SandClan is attacking!"
Cloudriver was in this patrol, and his eyes widened. The patrol nodded, and raced off all except Cloudriver.
"Come on! I'll help you find the other patrols"
Dreamriver nodded, and went to find the other patrols. Cloudriver went the opposite way.
Dreamriver finally rushed into camp. She already saw Cloudriver fighting, and went to fight beside her mate. She snarled, and ripped into a tom, and then was pulled back by a tan tom. She yowled as the tom slashed her face. He had her pinned down, and she struggled to get up. She felt the weight lifted off of her, and saw Cloudriver wrestling with the tom, eventually driving him away. he ran up to Dreamriver, panting.
"Are you okay?"
She nodded, and smiled, before leaping at a she-cat that was about to spring at Cloudriver...
When she re-opened her eyes, she was in the medicine cat den. She sighed in relief, and stood up. Her paw was better, but she had got a cough, so Sparrowleaf had told her to stay in the medicine cat den overnight.
"Sparrowleaf, can I go now?"
Sparrowleaf looked over to her.
"Sure Dreamriver. It doesn't seem to be WhiteCough, yet. But just come back everyday for some tansy, and maybe feverfew. We don't need it to get worse"

"Are you okay?"
She nodded, and smiled, before leaping at a she-cat that was about to spring at Cloudriver...
::---::
She panted, and looked around. SandClan had fled, and she saw every cat, all except for Flameriver. She then saw her mother, Moonlily crouched over a body. She raced over, and saw Flameriver, very badly wounded.
"Sparrowleaf!!!"
The tom medicine cat looked over in annoyance as he was treating some wounds. Then soon raced over when he saw Flameriver.
"Help me bring him back to my den. He's badly wounded, be careful handling him."
Dreamriver and Moonlily nodded, and gently picked up the deputy, and carried him to the den.
Sparrowleaf nodded a thanks, and Moonlily padded out to go see if anyone needed help. Dreamriver smiled, and started to walk out of the den.
"Wait, Dreamriver."
She stopped, and looked over her shoulder.
"I-i think you should know this..."
His eyes danced happily, and she padded back into the den suspiciously....
(SORRYYYYYYYYYY! Again for the long wait. :) )
