Fire In Their Blood - Private

[Vixenchaser ~ Rhapsodykit]

Specific Cats Posting: Angelfur, Lilyfeather, Stormstar, Windstorm, Naji, My Kits

Heaving herself through the Nursery entrance, Vixenchaser collapsed onto the nest she had previously made herself. Surprisingly, it was empty, bar Windstorm. The ginger Queen shot a glare at the silver Queen, amber orbs meeting blue ones, before a spasm ran through her body, a contraction. Gasping for breath, another contraction shook her body, wracking Vixenchaser with burning pain. Giving into the inevitable, Vixenchaser mewed, "Help..." to Windstorm, her voice strangled.

[glow=dodgerblue,2,300]The swelling she-cat nodded briskly. She said nothing as her pads pressed to the earth, heaving her plump belly forward. She did not let any emotion through... meerely spoke, like a tuneless song--sung by none other than the one who would press the off button. She lifted her pallet, left azure occulars bare into Vixenchaser. 'breath like a song, Two short in, One long out.' She closed her eyes and deminstrated, the nostrills on her peach-hued nose flaring as she. 'One, one, two... One, one, two.' she eyes the entrance. Hope that Lillyfeather would eneter soon flushed her pallet's silver features. 'Those shivers are healthy,' she murmered emotionlessly, dynamiclessly, tempolessly. 'they're called contractions... they mean the birth will come more esily... the kits will have an esier time.'[/glow]

[Lilyfeather]

Lilyfeather storde in at the usual time when she checked on the nursery every day. "Good....." Lilyfeather paused for a moment, staring at Vixenchaser. "GAAAAHHHH-HANG ON!" she ran out of the den, returning with poppy seeds and green herbs. She nodded gratefully at Windstorm, and began her own work on the queen like she had so many times before.

Vixenchaser's vision swam as her orbs rolled around and around. The scent of the herbs and her own rising sickness was nausiating.

Angelfur ran into the nusery,having heard about Vixenchaser. "Vixenchaser!"she gasped.

[Vixenchaser ~ Rhapsodykit]

"Angelfur? Is that you?" The blur of fur and the she-cat's scent were all that told Vixenchaser that her ex-rival was in the Nursery, along with her ex-attempted-killer, Windstorm, and the Medicine Cat, Lilyfeather.

"Yes it is me."Anglefur replied to the she-cat. She looked over at Windstorm.

Sighing, Vixenchaser felt herself fading, exhausted as she was. Struggling against the tidal wave of blacking out, the ginger she-cat managed to deliver a Kit. It's fur was dark and clung to its body, fluffing up slightly as Vixenchaser licked its fur the wrong way. Got to get it breathing... Was all that was going round and round in her head. Thankfully it breathed, squeaking slightly as it pawed around for milk. "Rhapsodykit," Vixenchaser breathed, gazing at her ginger daughter.

Another was coming, far to fast to be the strong body of a healthy Kit. It was out in a few minutes, still and small. Silver fur clung to it, and it did not breathe, even after she had licked its fur backwards. A terrible horrifying stench was coming off its small body in waves. The Kit was dead. "Sicklekit."

At last the third and last Kit was born. Her fur was pale and when she licked, it fluffed up in a rippling pattern, pure white. The she-Kit was beautiful and unusual. Unique. "Ripplekit." Vixenchaser murmured.

[Lilyfeather]

Lilyfeather breathed a sigh of releif when the final kit came out breathing, glancing sadly back at Sicklekit. "Congradulations, Vixenchaser! You are the mothr of two healthy kits!" She cried happily, but nervously as she checked over the kits for any trouble. They both seemed perfectly fine.

A sudden spasm wracked Vixenchaser's body, shifting her up and away from her Kits in one sickening movement. The stench of blood was thick in the air as it ran from her, pooling under the base of her tail. Something was very wrong, she could tell. It felt as if her insides were twisted over themselves, burning with pain as she continued to spasm.

[Lilyfeather]

"V-Vixenchaser!" Lilyfeather cried, forgetting to keep a calm, professional appearance. After a moment of panic, she darted for the extrasupplies she always kept in the nursery in case of emergency. And this, was an emergency. "E-east this!" Lilyfeather mewed, paws shaking as she sent a poultice of odd herbs to Vixenchaser's mouth.
