Auroraskies
Skyclan Queen
“Fire!” Aurora called, her violet-amber gaze was searching the camp with her chest rising and falling in a quick manner, clearly in a panicked state as the small Maine Coon was looking frantically for Northkit and Ebonykit. The black and golden molly had put all five of her kits down for a nap in the nursery earlier, she had been chatting with the ofher queens in the front of the nursery den until poking her head to check on her children. However, she noticed straight away that her two children were missing from the nest along with a small hole that was created within the nursery walls. At first, Aurora was trying not to freak out, instead rushing out of the nursery and searching the other dens. She couldn’t find them, and panic and sorrow was settling in as it hit Aurora that her two babies weren’t in camp and had disappeared from the safety of their home. When did they get away? What was the cause of them leaving the camp? How long did it take them to create that hole? It wasn’t until a familiar scent entered her nostrils and feeling the familiar feeling of Fire pressing against her as he could clearly see that she was panicking.
His voice was soothing, attempting to calm her down. Aurora always wondered how Mercuryrose and Desertriver always remained calm in these kind of situations while she was the one who worried easily. Perhaps they inherited their calm attitude from their father while Aurora inherited more of her Mother.. Her mother.. Auroraskies wondered if Topazfire would have been freaking out if the golden molly had been placed in the same situation or even if she would care.. Twilightfoot surely wouldn’t, he never did. Feeling the massive ginger tom pulling her into an embrace, the smaller Maine Coon snapped out of it before attempting to take deep breaths in order to prevent herself to start hyperventilating. “North.. Ebony.. Gone” Aurora said through breaths, watching Fire’s facial expression and how it quickly changed as he quickly ran to the nursery to check and see if they were indeed missing. Noticing Flarebeetle and Claypath going towards her, Aurora’s ears were ringing as she couldn’t exactly hear what her step-children were saying.. Or Fire calling for their missing kits, it wasn’t until Claypath shook her gently and she snapped out of it. Indigo and Brackenwing had arrived too to comfort their mother, and moments later Fire came towards his family.
Blinking away tears as Fire was ordering warriors and apprentices around, quickly telling Bayleaf to organize search parties. The black and golden molly quickly got up and looked at her mate, both of them having a silent conversation.. Aurora wasn’t going to stay in camp and not look for her children. Looking at her two daughters and step-children “Please make sure the others are safe” Aurora simply said, her voice was shaky and tears were threatening to spill from her eyes. The molly wanted to collapse and start crying, she was worried about her babies.. But Aurora had to help Fire and keep a calm mindset in order for them to work as a team. Quickly joining her mate’s side, both of them quickly made their way towards the entrance of the camp.
She couldn’t lose Northkit and Ebonykit.. Not like how she lost her first litter as stillborns and Indigo during a terrible snowstorm.
Her gaze was searching the area once they both made it to the entrance, hoping that perhaps Ebonykit and Northkit didn’t wander off too much, instead playing at a nearby bush that was a couple of feet away. Aurora let out a small breath when she couldn’t smell them around. It was clear that Ebonykit and Northkit didn’t leave through the front entrance, however she could smell their scent nearby but it was faint. It appeared they used their own little pathway that was behind the nursery. She could tell that her mate was looking at her, but she couldn’t find herself to look at him. This was her fault, if she perhaps watched them while they were napping instead of being at the entrance of the nursery.. This wouldn’t happen. “I’m sorry..” Aurora whispered softly, looking towards him and biting her lower lip slightly. However she couldn’t beat herself up right now, no.. Fire needed his Aurora.. His strong, confident and brave mate.
It wasn’t until she noticed that Fire had picked up on one of the kits’ scents, and she quickly followed after the massive ginger tom. Aurora knew that Fire would be able to track their children easily, he knew this Forest like the back of his paw.
Northkit
Skyclan Kitten
“Come on!” The dark ginger and black molly giggled, her bi-colored eyes were lit up in excitement as Ebonykit quickly followed after her. At last a trip out of camp! Northkit had asked Aurora if they could go out to the lake so everyone could continue on with the recent swimming lessons that Aurora had been teaching them.. But her mother said they had to wait until daddy was done with his duties for the day! His meetings were sometimes long! Northkit blamed Bayleaf for that, the small gray tom was afraid of his own shadow.. How could he be around Firestar and not be a nervous wreak? Why didn’t her daddy just make her deputy? She asked Firestar that question and the massive ginger tom chuckled and kissed the top of her head, telling her when she was older that he would think about it. Maybe if herself and Ebonykit could prove to their Mama and Daddy that they could clearly look after themselves by taking a trip to the lake, go for a quick dip and return before naptime was over. Ebonykit was such a smart tom, she always followed his lead on things while Northkit spoke confidently and carried herself like Mama.
Looking around, it seemed like they were nearby the lake. Northkit remembered the flower bush that Daddy picked out a flower for Mommy, and gave some flowers to herself, Lotuskit and Scarletkit. A bright grin appeared as she nudged Ebonykit “I’ll win this time Bony! You got lucky the last time” Northkit boosted, waving her feathery tail in excitement. Why didn’t they think of this sooner? It was Northkit who came up with the idea of escaping while Ebonykit dug through the nursery wall. They worked well together as a team, she wished that they had woken up Sterlingkit but they had to make their grand escape quickly since all the mothers were distracted outside of the nursery. It wasn’t until the familiar path of the lake came into view, which caused Northkit to let out a small squeal of excitement before turning to her younger brother with the biggest grin on her face
“Let’s go!” Northkit said, quickly bounding towards the path. The tiny Maine Coon was giggling and nearly skipping of joy. Although she was the eldest of the litter, the dark ginger and black molly had surely inherited her mother’s size. Letting out a ‘wow’ as they made it towards the lake, Northkit turned to the black and golden tom that finally made it towards her. “Too slow” she giggled, pushing her shoulder into his own playfully. Making her way towards the shoreline, Northkit inspected it carefully. Northkit was secrelty hoping that perhaps the nice gray shell that she had found a couple of days ago was still around.. But alas, it wasn’t. Letting out a soft huff, she clearly inherited Fire’s resting face expression as she was clearly not pleased that her treasure was missing.
“I can’t believe my shell is missing” The tiny molly said with a pout. Rats, she should had picked it up before they left the last time.. Of course Sterlingkit had distracted her. Looking towards Ebonykit who was exploring the area, she bounded towards him with a big grin on her face “Do you wanna swim Bony?” Northkit questioned, her eyes full of excitement.
Auroraskies
Skyclan Queen
The black and golden Maine Coon molly’s chest was rising and falling quickly, tears threatening to spill down her violet-amber eyes. Auroraskies had to emotionally keep it together for her children’s sake. Leaning down to nuzzle into her kits, she closed her eyes for a moment. “He’ll wake up, just give him a moment.” Aurora said softly, knowing she couldn’t lie and say that he had passed out, her children knew better. Shallowing hard for a moment, the small molly moved her face towards her mate and carefully nuzzled into his face “I’m here, I’m not leaving you Baby” Aurora whispered softly towards him, pressing a gentle kiss against his forehead. Witnessing Firestar’s deaths should have been something that she should be used to by now, but she hated every time it happened. Letting out a sigh soft through her nose, Aurora pressed her forehead against her mate’s.
It was never easy when her mate experienced this kind of thing.
A sudden warmth had gone through Aurora, a gentle breeze went through her long black and golden silky fur. The smell of Primroses had entered her nostrils, calming her. There was something within that moment that comforted her, as if everything wasn’t falling apart around her. Primroses.. They were Firestar’s mother, Mothflight’s favorite flower. Aurora knew about her mate’s past with his mother, the relationship they had. It was almost similar to how her own father had reacted when her mother had left, except Twilightfoot was a psychopath while Mothflight’s motions were due to a broken heart. Aurora had wished that she had met Mothflight, and had thanked her for giving her the best thing in life, her Sun and Stars.
Primrosethorn had been named after grandmother’s love for Primroses, wanting to keep Mothflight’s spirit alive. Auroraskies hadn’t talked about her own parents towards her children, but took her kits to the elders to learn about the positive memories about Mothflight. It wasn’t until she heard a loud gasp and Firestar waking up, coughing up water. Aurora’s mouth parted open slightly, looking at the ginger Maine Coon with a soft expression. Northkit and Ebonykit launched themselves onto him, clinging onto their father. “Kids, give him some breathing room.” Auroraskies said gently while Northkit sobbed “I’m so sorry Daddy!” The black and dark ginger apologized. Tears running down her face as the massive tom nuzzled her and Ebonykit. Turning to look at her mate, Aurora leaned down to kiss her mate gently on the lips
“Let’s go home”
Helping her mate up, she allowed Firestar to lean on her and make their way back to camp. Upon arriving into camp, Auroraskies turned to look towards her two children “Return to the nursery, your older siblings will be there to watch you. I will join you momentarily.” Aurora said, watching her kits make their way towards the den. Letting out a small sigh, she called Cherryblossom’s name and the small calico helped her get the Skyclan leader to their den. Helping her mate into their nest, she nuzzled Firestar and began pressing gentle kisses into his face “You’re safe now.. Rest, my love” Aurora soothed him, climbing into the nest and curling against him and began grooming him gently and luring him to sleep, allowing Cherryblossom to examine and care for him. A mate’s love would never die, especially if both are true soulmates.
