I will try to find my place,
in the diary of Jane..

[/i]

A swift white shape moved into the clearing of RiverClan. He looked about, staring.
"RiverClan" he mused silently, as he crept toward the fresh-kill pile, a mouse dangling from his maw. "There you go" he said to the pile, as if it was alive. He tossed the mouse, and with a quick dash was back in the middle of camp. He looked around, nothing much. He had to talk to Crystalstar, what was wrong with her. But he was deputy now, he had to act, he had to do something, he couldn't let RiverClan run amuck, or get taken by another Clan. "Things are getting worse every passing day, prey is barely coming, the kits looks weary.." he murmured in a cold voice, but silently. "RiverClan" he announced, not thinking of what he would say next, just going along with what he was thinking of. "RiverClan..." he trailed off. He just couldn't find the right words! "RiverClan.. We.. We have a little..."
"Problem.."[/size][/color]

[Arrowheart]

A slight breeze ruffled her perfect, sleek fur as the queen padded out of the nursery. She was heavy with kit, and her stomach bulged with her pregnancy. Arrowheart sat down, looking up at the deputy with a blank, but curios look in her tawny eyes. RiverClan has a problem? What can that be? She wondered, smoothing out her belly fur and sitting so her stomach did not look too hideous.

Where was Redmist? Arrowheart was quite positive she loved him now, and she wondered where he was. Blinking away the slight worry, she let a little sigh of exhaustion escape her lips as she returned her attention to Whitedawn. He had something to say, and she needed to pay attention.

<sub>Breezepaw bounded happilly out of the medicine cat den. Her ocean-blue eyes were dancing with joy as she skipped over to Arrowheart. She stopped in front of her. "Hi there, Arrowheart! How's the unborn kits?" she asked as she sniffed at her bulging belly. Her ears perked up as she heard her Clan's deputy something. "RiverClan... We... We have a little... Problem." His voice seemed a bit shaky, and he was stammering.

She turned in a full circle then around another one-eighty degrees till she faced the pure white deputy. She padded warilly over to him. "Hi, Whitedawn," she greated him. "What's this problem you mentioned?" Her voice held genuine curiosity in it as she spoke.</sub>

He looked among who had come. There was Breezepaw, and Arrowheart. "Greetings, Breezepaw, Arrowheart" he meowed in greeting.
Now for the hard part... he thought nervously.
"What's this problem you mentioned?" asked Breezepaw,
Whitedawn moved close to Breezepaw, and almost in a silent whisper, he spoke "Crystalstar, she's gone mad"
He turned to Arrowheart, "Crystalstar. She's gone crazy" he repeated, just changing the words.
Whitedawn blinked his emerald eyes, and shuffled his paws on the dirts, sinking his black claws into the mud.
"And we need to do something about it"

[{:{sun:stream}:}]

Sunstream padded out of the warriors den and stretched. She'd been up all night with nightmares, and she had decided to take a nap. She padded up to her mate. "Did I miss something?" her voice ws soft and seemed somewhat smooth and velvety. Shocked she almost stepped back. Wht happened to her old self? Her crabby old self? The tabby warrior had no idea, so instead she just put that to the back of her mind. Obviously she had missed something considering she had seen Whitedawn say something when she was coming out, but she hadn't heard him.

[>>º•Breezepaw•º<<]

Breezepaw's ears perked up at the mention of Crystalstar. 'Crystalstar's gone crazy?' she thought to herself as Sunstream approached Whitedawn. She gave the tabby warrior a nodd of welcoming, though her thoughts were on now on Crystalstar. "Crystalstar, she's gone mad.." Whitedawn's words echoed in her head as she pondered on what he could mean. "Maybe.. Maybe we could..." Breezepaw muttered to herself under her breath as she stolled away from the two older warriors and over to the apprentices' den.

[Arrowheart]

((Sorry if this kind of breaks up the thread. . . Whitedawn can still continue, we'll make it a quick birth. ^_^))

Arrowheart was in shock, her pretty Turkish Van face set in confusion and her mouth hanging open. "Crystalstar. . ." she didn't finish her sentence because suddenly she felt woozy and she fell to the side, letting a little moan escape her lips.
The pains in her stomach were very intense, and her sides were heaving with pressure. "Breezepaw!" Her voice was weak and desperate. Her kits were coming. . . or kit. . . she remembered her miscarriage a while ago.

Now her life, and her kit's, were in the hands of the young medicine cat apprentice.

[>>º•Breezepaw•º<<]

Hearing her name being called by the young queen, Breezepaw whirled around to face Arrowheart. By the looks of it, Arrowheart's kit or kits seemed to be coming. "Oh no.. What do I do?" she whispered frantically under her breath as she bounded over to the Turkish Van queen. "Right.. Um.. No poppy seeds.." Breezepaw quickly went over what herbs she should and shouldn't use to help Arrowheart. She placed a paw gently on Arrowheart's stomach and meowed urgently to her, "Breathe deeply.." She didn't know much on what to do, but she hoped she was doing the right thing from what she had seen done during her time in the nursery.

OOC;; Sorry, Dreamstar! D= But I can't just let her die! Not really sure that she will, but still. =\[/blockquote]

[{ w h i t e `DAWN]

Whitedawn turned to Sunstream, touched noses with her and murmured quietly, "Crystalstar, tis all, she's gone mad" he sat down calmly, shuffling his paws.
"Crystalstar. . ."
He heard Arrowheart's voice, but it seemed, worried.
"Arrowheart," he meowed, "What's wrong?"
"Breezepaw!"
And Whitedawn leaped to his feet, "Breezepaw, is it kits?" he asked the apprentice with worry,
He walked in circles, what could he do?
Whitedawn had no power, he didn't know medicine...

[>>º•Breezepaw•º<<]

"Breezepaw, is it the kits?" Breezepaw looked over at Whitedawn and nodded, then turned her attention back to Arrowheart. "Okay.. Breathe deeply and push," she instructed. She lifted her paw off of Arrowheart's stomach then snapped her head around to look at Whitedawn once more. "Get the medicine cat! Hurry!" she said urgently. She looked over at Sunstream. "Would you mind helping me, Sunstream?" There was pleading in her voice as she hoped the older warrior would have even a small ammount of knowledge on what to do. 'Oh, dear StarClan! Don't let her die!' she begged her warrior ancestors.

[Arrowheart]

((Naw she won't. And I promised quickness so here it is! XD))

Arrowheart followed the instructions she was given, and it all seemed to drag by, and yet be over so quickly. For within moments, there she was.
The young queen's only kit from her litter, and what a pretty thing she was. Her fur was not like Arrowheart's white and tortishell, it was exactly like it except for the tortishell. This kit's patches were amber.

Arrowheart smiled at the kit and then let her head fall to the side, exhausted.

FROM;; An [Un]forgettable Night//CLOSED

Stormpaw raced up from the nursery and saw Arrowheart on the floor of the camp. Oh StarClan, was I too late? She thought, terrified. No, I can't be. She argued with herself. As she got closer she saw the rise and fall of Arrowheart's steady breathing. Thank StarClan, she's going to fine. Stormpaw looked around the clearing and only found two other warriors and an apprentice. Whitedawn, Sunstream, and Breezepaw. Shadepaw was still by the nursery.

The something caught her attention. A small ball of fur. Is this Arrowheart's kit? Stormpaw thought. The kit was white with amber patches. Other then the amber patches the it looked exactly like her mother. She shook her head and her mind came raising back to the situation. I don't have time for this! I've got to get Arrowheart and her kit to the nursery. She demanded to herself.

"Whitedawn, Sunstream. I need you to help Arrowheart to the nursery. I will take her kit." Stormpaw instructed. Then she turned to Breezepaw. "Breezepaw, I need you to fetch the poppy seeds from my den. Quickly. We will have Arrowheart in the nursery as fast as we can." She went over to the kit and picked it up by the muzzle. Stormpaw looked back to see if Whitedawn and Sunstream could handle helping Arrowheart to the nursery or if she needed to call Shadepaw to come help them carry her to the nursery, if she wasn't able to stand or walk.

[>>º•Breezepaw•º<<]

OOC;; I'm gonna post for both Breezepaw and Shadepaw, kks?

Breezepaw looked up at Stormpaw. "Breezepaw, I need you to fetch some poppy seeds from my den. Quickly. We will have Arrowheart in the nursery as fast as we can." She didn't reply, she just stood and raced off towards the medicine cat's den. When she entered, she searched through all the piles of medical herbs until she found the dried poppy flower. She shook it until there were three seeds in front of her, then she lapped them up. She made sure not to chew them as she raced back into the clearing.

FROM;; An [Un]forgettable Night//CLOSED

From behind the nursery, Shadepaw bounded out into the clearing. The first thing he saw was Arrowheart laying on her side, and her kit in Stormpaw's mouth. 'Oh, dear StarClan! Don't let her have been too late!' he pleaded. Then he noticed the rise and fall of Arrowheart's chest cavity. 'Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you StarClan!' He bounded over to Stormpaw. "Do you need my help?" he asked, not sure that the gray tabby she-cat could answer him through the small white-and-amber kit.

[*~*Stormfrost*~*]

Stormpaw looked at Shadepaw. "Do you need my help?" She wasn't sure if she should put the kit down to answer him. I need to get this kit to the nursery, but I need to stay with Arrowheart to make sure she is fine. She looked franticly at the ground, took a big breath and let it out. Trying to calm herself. Everything is fine, Arrowheart is going to be fine. Stormpaw kept telling herself this then tuned back to Shadepaw.

She sat the kt down at his feet. "I need you to take the kit to the nursery and give it a thorough wash to keep it warm." She told him. She looked at him and tried to smile. Then turned back to Arrowheart and the two other warriors. She began to help Arrowheart up, looking at the other two to help get her to the nursery.

[>>º•Breezepaw•º<<]

"I need you to take the kit to the nursery and give it a thorough wash to keep it warm," Stormpaw instructed him. Shadepaw nodded and picked up the small kit. Then he padded quickly but cautiously into the nursery. He sat down next to what he supposed was Arrowheart's nest and started licking the amber-and-white kit's fur the wrong way to warm it up. "Such a lovely kit.. I wonder what Arrowheart will name it.." murmured Shadepaw to himself between licks.
