Auroraskies Skyclan Queen “Firestar?” Aurora questioned him when her mate appeared to become drowsy, her eyebrows furrowing in worry. One second Firestar was completely normal, another second he was stumbling. It wasn’t until he suddenly collapsed that caused the pregnant molly let out a loud gasp before lowering herself and pressing her head against Firestar’s “Fire?!” She cried out, tears threatening to spill from her eyes as she felt her breathing quicken. What happened to her mate? Was he dead? So many thoughts entered her head and it wasn’t until she felt the calm presence of Silverwolf pressing against her “You need to breathe Auroraskies, your kits.” The silver molly tried soothing her. It was like Auroraskies’ instincts kicked in as she looked around the camp, completely ignoring her friend “Thornheart, Ebonywolf and Geodoehaze!” She called out to her sons, who rushed towards her direction. Aurora was breathing quickly, but she had to remain strong for her children. Lowering her head to his chest, his heart was still beating “My boys, I need you to bring your father back into his den.. I need to get help.” Aurora said softly to them, knowing they were the strongest ones to lift him and bring Firestar safely to his den. Biting the inside of her cheek, she didn’t know what to do. Roseglow was still on her journey, Cherryblossom was currently in the mountains with Sunowl. The pregnant molly looked down at the ginger tom and kissed his forehead softly “I promise I’ll come back for you.” The black and golden molly whispered before looking at her kits from their first litter. Tumblewave, Cosmosong and Beedrop. Her kits were the most peaceful and wouldn’t start any kind of conflict with others due to their own amount of stress. They needed to get help. The black and golden molly waddled her out of camp, her swollen belly extremely noticeable. Aurora had felt cramps on her side, but the older Queen had to take deep breaths in order to calm down.
“Mom, where are we going?” Tumblewave questioned, his amber eyes shined in confusion as he moved towards Aurora to let his mother lean on him, he knew that her body was stressed which wasn’t going to be good for the kits. “To grab help.” Aurora huffed, allowing the extra support. It wasn’t until the familiar scent of Shadowclan had hit her nostrils which caused her tail to flick, the Queen stood at the borderline to wait for a patrol.. Which didn’t take too long as one was nearby. Forcing herself to relax, the black and golden molly spoke with the patrol leader, requesting to see Ravenstar and Waspsight. The feline was hesitant at first but saw how extremely stressed Aurora and her children looked and allowed them to follow.
Once arriving in Shadowclan camp, Aurora’s gaze remained focused on her eldest kits.. She knew they were nervous of their father’s status but also going into enemy camp as well. The older queen bumped her head into each of her kits’ shoulders, kissing their foreheads softly “Thank you” Aurora said softly. It wasn’t until they were escorted towards Waspsight’s den, to which the healer doing his errands. Upon seeing each other, Aurora dipped her head in greetings “Waspsight, I’m so sorry to intrude into your den.. But something is terribly wrong with Firestar.” Aurora said, Tumblewave pressed against his mother for a moment and Aurora looked down to see that she was shaking.. Most likely from shock and fright. The pregnant molly tried breathing in and out, attempting to calm down. The last thing they needed was Aurora to go into premature labor.
“I need your help.. Roseglow is away at the moment while Cherryblossom is at the mountains.. Cherry trusts you, she speaks so highly of you and that allows me to have that trust in you.” Aurora admitted, looking around. “Where is Ravenstar?” The black and golden molly asked about her nephew. The both had a very good bond, her and Mercuryrose were inseparable.. Her first litter and Ravenstar were very familiar with each other, because soon as the weather had been good and her kits began walking.. Auroraskies took her six kits to meet Mercuryrose and Ravenkit to meet each other, they grew up together. “I’ll fetch him, he just stepped out not too long ago to bring Leopardpaw to the training grounds “ Flutterlily, who was in the patrol, slipped away to find the leader.
“Mom, we need you to calm down.. We can’t have you in premature labor” Tumblewave tried soothing Aurora, giving his siblings and Waspsight a look of help as the older female was literally hyperventilating in front of them.
