Swiftstep padded into the camp carrying a large rabbit. two mice and a squirrel. It was a heavy load and the rabbit dragged slightly but the clan would be happy for all the food. He set the rabbit down and tossed the mice and squirrel onto the freshkill pile than picked the rabbit back up. With that he padded towards the nursery and pushed through the den entrance his head held high with pride as he dropped the kill next to Heatherpetal. "I thought you and your kits might be hungry so I brought you this."
Swiftstep smiled at the sleeping kits they where five moons old and would become apprentices soon. He hopped one would be made his apprentice. Not Ravenkit she was to soft maybe one of the toms.

Heather green eyes looked at Swiftstep and smiled "thank you, Swiftstep." She said while nudging a little tom beside her who was faking sleep "Stop playing sleep Robinkit, it's time to eat." She said smiling at the tom. His green eyes looked at her and a sad look crossed Heatherpetals face. Those was the eyes of Falconclaw her last mate who had dead in battle before the kits were born. Heatherpetal slowly stood as not to wake the other two and sat beside Swiftstep as Robinkit started to eat. Robinkit looked just like his father and had the same protective personality, but he was very sweet and yet a little of a trouble maker. Heatherpetal sighed "What has been going on around camp Swiftstep….any good new." She asked as Pinespot has been to busy to stop by like he normally does. She doesn't blame Pinespot or get angry with him. Heatherpetal knew it was hard being Clan Deputy. So she never bothered him and has asked other cats of Windclan for new since she has to keep an eye on Robinkit more so then the others.

Swiftstep laughed as Robinkit got up and started eating. He would love to train him. Maybe he could speak to the leader about his request. "Hey squirt what would you think if I was your mentor once you become an apprentice?" He ruffled the toms head lightly and smiled. He could probably train him to be like him. And when the day comes for him to take over the clan he could use a cat that was loyal to him and only him.
Turning back to Heatherpetal he smiled, "Things are going well, prey is running well. We have had a little trouble with Thunderclan. They keep accusing us of steeling food and trespassing. I think their just sniffing there own scent and trying to cause a war. I say bring it on. I'll shred anyone who try's to hurt my clan."

Heatherpetal smiled at how the tom was with her kit and chuckled when Robinkit swiped at the older toms paw "That would be cool, I could become a big powerful warrior just like Uncle Pinespot." Robinkit said with pride in his green eyes. He than went back to eating when he saw the older ones were talking. Heatherpetal sighed at the new "Why do they always have to try and pull strings that don't need pulling....everyone is tense as it is." Heatherpetal said as she looked at Swiftstep. Her heather green eyes sparkled in the light coming in from out side. Heatherpetal realized that her kit would be old enough to be apprentice's soon and she would be able to take a new mate if she so wishes. Heatherpetal smiled at the thoughts of Faclonclaw and than looked at Swiftstep. It had been five moons or more since her mates death and the kits only knew of him from stories Pinespot told them. Looking at the only grown up tom in the Nursery "So what has been going on with you Swiftstep....how has your day been so far." She asked smiling at the tom.

Swiftstep purred, "You bet I would train you to be the second strongest cat in the clan. Weakest only to me," he chuckled softly than let the kit go back to eating. The kit had allot of spunk and he liked that about him. Swiftstep shook his head and sighed. "I don't know but I pray Starclan solve things before a war really does break out." Not he would love the chance to kill a Thunderclan cat or two. And if his plan worked it would soon. He was the cat that was killing their prey. He would eat only a bite and leave the rest to rot.
Turning his attention back to Heatherpetal smiled, "Not much I've been busy patrolling and hunting. Leafbare may be over but you never no when there will be another drought. Might as well make everyone is strong and healthy just encase. Though I am hoping to find someone to spend my free time with." Swiftstep's eyes rested on Heatherpetal for a second than darted away. He wanted kits and he had thought about every she-cat in the clan and Heatherpetal came up above the others.

Heatherpetal smiled at his words and sighed "yes lets hope it's solve before a war really does start up." She said frowning at the thought that he kits might end up in that war. She looked at the handsome little tom kit who could malt any she-cats heart with a look. Just like his father had malted Heatherpetals and than dead before even seeing his kits born. Heatherpetal looked at Swiftstep and gave a smile "Maybe during your free time, you could come over here and have a chat or two with me." Heatherpetal said with a smile.

Swiftstep knew she was afraid her kits where old enough to battle. She was week that way. But she had good cause to fear. She was week in some points. But she was beautiful. "If they do I give you my word that I'll keep them safe with my life if I have to." Yea right like he would risk his life for a cat who couldn't defend himself. When she mentioned him coming to visit her during his free time he purred softly. "I would like that, I would like that very much." He knew this would be a daring move but he leaned forward and gently licked Heatherpetal's left ear.

She smiled at the tom beside her and knew it might not be able to hold on to this promise. Heatherpetal knew that her kits had to learn fast how to take care of themselves in battle. It would hurt to lose them and it was like that with ever mother. Others in the clan think she took Falconclaws death to well and moved on to care for her kits. The death of a mate was never easy and she had to move on to care for her kits. Heatherpetal sighed " No Swiftstep....they have to learn to care for themselves in battle....Falconclaw would want it that way...Maybe since their five moons they can do some light training...I'll ask Nightstar." Heatherpetal said frowning. She would still worry and hope they come back to her after every battle, but would know it was most likely one or all of them won't be returning. Heatherpetal looked at Swiftstep when he licked her ear and smiled sweetly before Licking his right ear.

Ravenkit yawned as she woke up from her next. she flicked her tail than gave her body a shake. Looking up she saw Swiftstep and smiled. Her eyes where drawn to his tail that flicked from time to time. She crouched down than leaped and pinned his tail with her claws than needed it than hissed and nipped it.
Swiftstep was about to say something about him training them a little before they became apprentices when he felt a sharp pain in his tail. He held back a hiss and instead flicked his tail out of the kits grip and wrapped it around his paws. Bending down he plucked the kit off the ground and set her by her mother. "Better think before you attack your prey because it might attack back. That's a good lesson you should learn. Not all prey will sit and let you kill it," he purred and flicked the kits ear with his tail. "As for training I could teach them a few simple moves so they will have a good start once their apprenticed."

Heatherpetal was watching Robinkit when suddenly Swiftstep placed Ravenkit in front of her and started to speak with the young she-kit. Heatherpetal smiled at how well he kits were getting on with him. It was good to see a father figure in their lives and to know a tom other than Pinespot was hanging around them. She watched as Robinkit finally had enough of the fish and not even half was gone. Heatherpetal than nudged Ravenkit over to the fish "Eat up dear one, I'll eat after your all done yourselves." She said smiling. Heatherpetal knew that the kits were going to eat the fish up between the three of them. But she didn't care and wanted them to be health.
Robinkit walked over towards the adults and rubbed his head on Ravenkits "Hey sis, have a nice nap." He asked while looking at the adults for a moment. Robinkit saw Swiftsteps tail and just as Ravenkit had done not even a moment before. He leaped on it, pinned it and nipped at it too. But he didn't a little more then nip, he bit by mistake and than leaped on to Swiftsteps back to claim to his head.

Ravenkit brushed against her mom than began to eat. She wasn't really that hungry. In fact she hadn't been feeling completely well since yesterday. She ate a few bites than stopped when her stomach rolled a little. At first she thought she was going to loose her lunch but she didn't. She took a deep breath and curled back down next to her still sleeping sibling.
Swiftstep let out a muffled hiss from the pain this time but he held the anger in. When the tom went from his tail to his head he rolled with the kit and made him fall off him but he made sure the kit wasn't hurt. He landed in a thick pile of moss. "Nice try Robinkit but you'll have to be faster to get me," he laughed softly. Ugh how he hated having to be nice all the time. It was so disgusting. But if it got him what he wanted than he would do what ever it took.

Robinkit giggled when landing on the pale of moss, he stood up and shook the moss from his white fur. Green eyes looked at Swiftstep smiling "Wow, teach me that move please." He asked excited. Robinkit wanted to be a great warrior and to become strong to protect those close to him. Robinkit ran up beside his mom and rubbed pelts with her. She licked his ear as Robinkit walked to stand in front of Swiftstep. Robinkit looked at Swiftstep "I want to learn, I want to learn........Mom can ask Nightstar if Swiftstep can be my mentor, Please, Please please." He asked Heatherpetal excited.
Heatherpetal gasped at how ruff Robinkit was being and was about to scold him. However, Swiftstep seem to have it under control and left it to the tom to deal with the ruff housing kit. She sighed at how Robinkit pestered her about Swiftstep becoming his mentor. Heatherpetal chuckled smiling "I'll see what I can do....It is up to Nightstar who has an apprentice." She said looked up at Swiftstep. She looked at Robinkit "Go rest with your sister and I'll be right back....I'm going to talk with Swiftstep," Heatherpetal said walking out of the nursery. She made sure that Robinkit laid in the nest and thankfully he did what he was told for once. Heatherpetal sighed as she sat outside the Nursery and waited for Swiftstep to follow.

Swiftstep chuckled softly, "I'll teach you later and I'll personally talk to Nightstar about making you my apprentice ok. Now go do what your mom said." Using his tail he flicked the kits ear gently. Once he laid down he fallowed Heatherpetal outside the nurser and sat down beside her. "What did you want to talk about?" His pelt brushed against hers lightly. His plans where going perfectly. He would earn Robinkit's loyalty and when the time was right he would kill Nightstar and take over Windclan. Once that was done they would destroy the other clans.
Ravenkit moaned softly her stomach felt horrible. Why did she feel like this? What was wrong with her? She started coughing and winced her throat felt like sandpaper scraping at her throat when she coughed or swallowed.

Robinkit could hear his sister coughing and became worried "you ok Ravenkit?" He asked worried himself. He didn't want to under mind what Mom or Swiftstep told him to do. But Ravenkit didn't look to well and he had to tell someone. Robinkit walked over to the entrance and stood there while waiting for the adults to finish talking.
Heatherpetal sighed as she sat beside Swiftstep and thought about how she hasn't felt like this in moons. It was heart breaking to hear when Falconclaw had dead and yet she moved on to caring for her kits. Heatherpetal hadn't even been given a chance to mourn her mates death. She knew that Pinespot worried about her and many times she tells him that she is fine. Heatherpetal had to be stronge because she was going to be having kits soon and didn't have time to mourn one death even if it was her mate. Heatherpetal lend on Swiftstep Nothing much, I just wanted to say I like how you are around the kits....The only other tom who actually spends time with them is Pinespot and since becoming Deputy it's hard for him to come here...and also I just want someone to talk with." She said smiling.

Ravenkit shook her head and than closed her eyes for it had started to spin a little. Another series of coughs racked her body. Moaning softly she drifted back to sleep hoping sleep would make her feel better.
Swiftstep purred when she leaned against him. He felt something towards Heatherpetal. Was he falling in love? That wasn't good blackthorn would rip him a new one. But it might do him good if she gained his loyalty as well. "The kits need a fatherly figure or at least someone they can look up to. I am trying to be someone they can look up to. I care about your kits. I care about you Heatherpetal." Leaning his head closer he licked her ear gently and twined his tail with hers. "I know your still mourning your mates loss. But if you ever need a friend I'll be there for you."
