Mid Spring

Mintswirl froze, looming over the brown she-cat. She glared up at them, her fur bristling, but made no move to attack them. The reason for that was perfectly clear- five tiny scraps of fur squirmed at her belly, mewling for their mother's attention.

"You're- uh- DogwoodClan," Mintswirl finally blurted out. "What are you doing here?"

"None of your business," she sniffed.

"Well... it sort of is. You're on ButterflyClan territory. Are you... okay? Do you need any help?" She glared at him for several minutes more before deflating, sheathing her claws and smoothing her fur.

"I can't go back to DogwoodClan," she sighed, looking away. "Bramblestar... well, I made them mad."

"Bramblestar exiled you?" Mintswirl's eyes widened in horror.

"Oh, no! No, they didn't exile me! I left on my own. But I made them mad, and they made me mad, and I really just... don't like anyone there. I felt so alone in DogwoodClan. So I left."

There was a long quiet between them, Mintswirl standing awkwardly over her and the she-cat focusing on her kittens.

"Uh... What are their names?"

"Oh! This is Crabkit, Bubblekit, Shellkit, Basskit, and Foamkit. My father always told me stories of his time as a boat cat," she added sheepishly. "I thought this would be a nice way to remember him. I'm Kitecrash."

"Mintswirl."

The ground was wet and muddy from the melted snow, but Frozenwhisker couldn't find it within himself to mind it. It was the first time since their son had been born that Parsleystar felt up to a walk, and he was making the absolute most of it. They walked in a comfortable silence, tails entwined.

"A tunnel!" Parsleystar gasped suddenly. "Do you think it's a fox hole?"

"Maybe in the past, but there's no scents around here any more," Frozenwhisker responded after a sniff. He crept into the hole, his belly low to the ground. "It's spacious!" he called back. He started to wriggle his way back out when his paws slipped on the mud. The tunnel around him started to crumble, and there was mud in his mouth and his eyes, and all he could smell was dirt, and there was so much weight on his body, oh StarClan he was trapped, and he struggled and struggled, but he could feel his struggling growing weaker, and his chest burned with the need to breathe... and all the while, he could hear Parsleystar screaming his name.

Maybe, he thought dizzily, maybe I'll even be hearing it from StarClan.

[butterflyclan]

Mid Autumn

Kitecrash stares blankly at Bubblekit's body. He had been mere days away from his apprenticeship ceremony, and he'd been so excited for it.

"I can give him his apprentice name, if you'd like," Parsleystar murmured to her. Kitecrash turned, eyes watering, a vague wonder at how the old she-cat had known what she'd been thinking.

"Please," she croaked. Parsleystar bowed her head.

"Bubblekit, you are of apprentice age. Had I held your ceremony sooner, you would have had your name when you died. To fix this error, I give you the name Bubblepaw in your death. May you find your way to StarClan quickly."

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ𐀔

"Beamsnow, you shall mentor Basspaw. You have not had an apprentice yet, and it is high time you do. Algaesky, you will train Foampaw. You did great with Skyrumble, and I expect you will do just as well with her. Tumblefern with train Seedpaw. You're new to the Clan, but you've been here long enough that I trust you will do well. I will train Podpaw myself." Parsleystar flicked her tail, waiting for the murmuring to stop before she started speaking again. "Shellpaw, Mintswirl, please step forward."

Shellpaw trembled slightly, his breath catching in his throat.

"Shellpaw has expressed a desire to heal instead of fight. I have consulted with Mintswirl, and they have agreed to train him."

The Clan began to cheer, chanting the new apprentices' names, and Shellpaw sighed in relief. He'd been accepted, and he was free to start training.

It was the mewling that had caught Hickorymarsh's attention. The rustling he had ignored- it wasn't a sound being made by a fox or a coyote, or any other possible predator, so it didn't matter to him. But the mewling...

He parted the tall grass and the air left his lungs. A tiny tortoiseshell kitten blinked up at him, startled by his appearance. She was weak and clearly underfed, struggling to stand on her own two paws.

Hickorymarsh crouched low, almost nose-to-nose with the kit, and she squirmed backwards. "I won't hurt you," he breathed. "I'm Hickorymarsh. Where's your parents?"

"My mama told me to stay here," the kitten squeaked, glaring fiercely at him. Hickorymarsh scented the air. Any scent besides his and the kit's were stale.

"How long ago was that?"

The kitten grew even more furious. "She'll be back! And she'll beat you up if you try to hurt me!"

"How about this," Hickorymarsh proposed. "I live somewhere with loads of other cats, and we have warm places to sleep and plenty of food to eat. I can take you back there, and I can come by here every day waiting for your mother to come back. When she does, I can bring her to you. Does that sound good?"

The kitten thought this over before nodding. "Okay. But you have to promise!"

"I promise."

[butterflyclan]

Early Autumn

Parsleystar's paws slip on the riverbank and she sucks in a gasp. She tumbles into the water and it fills her lungs. Oh, StarClan, she can't swim, she can't breathe, she can't get up to the surface-

Her vision goes dark, and when she blinks, she finds herself in a field of stars. Frozenwhisker stands before her, joy and sorrow entwining together on his face.

"Oh, how I've missed you," Parsleystar whispers, and she takes a step forward-

She wakes up gasping and sputtering on the riverbank, her Clan crowding around her.

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ𐀔

"We thank you for your service, and hope you have a long few years of rest."

Pondfang nodded politely at Parsleystar. He looked forward to settling into his new nest in the elder's den, towards being surrounded by peace, quiet, and the quiet murmurs of Lynxfur and Sakari. It'll be nice, he thinks, to get some rest for once.

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ𐀔

"Burdockheart, you will train Barleypaw. You did excellent with Beamsnow, and I trust you'll do just as well with him."

Barleypaw touched noses with Burdockheart as the Clan chanted her name, and he turned to look for Whiskershade in the crowd, a wide grin on his face. His heart dropped when he met Stormclaw's eyes and remembered that his mother wasn't there to see him become an apprentice, that she had died to give him life.

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ𐀔

"I'm sorry, Kitecrash, but Bubblekit has kittencough. Maybe since he's older he'll push through it better, but..."

Kitecrash nodded absently. The odds weren't great, she knew that. They never were for kittens. She could only hope that Bubblekit would make it through this.

[butterflyclan]

Late Spring

Acornpaw's eyes are hazy with fever as Beamsnow curls around him. He chokes down the fear that's rising in his throat, instead whispering steady assurances to his son. He can't lose another child. It would break him, he knows this.

"You'll be okay. We'll both be okay. We'll get through this like we do everything else. I promise, Acornpaw."

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ𐀔

Crabkit's piercing scream rattled something loose in Pinedash, and he burst out of the position he'd been frozen in. He tore into the hawk's wings with a scream of fury, and the hawk screamed right back at him. Pinedash struck again and again, tearing with his claws and teeth, until the bird finally released Crabkit and swooped off.

"Crabkit," Kitecrash cried, bounding over to her son. The tom-kit wailed in pain, shuddering sobs shaking his whole body. Mintswirl whisked the kitten off to their den, and Kitecrash took a short moment to press herself against Pinedash and whisper a quite "thank you" before following.

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ𐀔

Stormclaw paused uncertainly outside of the leader's den.

"Parsleystar?" He called. A low growl responded, and Stormclaw flinched. "Gingerkit wants to know where you are." After a moment with no response, he poked his head in the den. Parsleystar was curled up tightly in her nest, her body tense and her long fur ungroomed. "...Would you like me to tell him you'll play with him there in a bit?"

"No," Parsleystar spat, her fur spiking as she whipped around to glare at him. "No! Gingerkit doesn't want to know where I am, he doesn't want to play with me! I killed his father! He hates me!"

"You didn't kill Frozenwhisker!" Stormclaw protested. "Gingerkit just lost his father, he needs his mother!"

"There is nothing without Frozenwhisker," Parsleystar continued on her tirade. "Nothing! The sooner Gingerkit learns that, the better! Get out!" She lunged towards Stormclaw, her claws unsheathed, and Stormclaw flinched out of the den.

[butterflyclan]

Kitecrash

A brown she-cat with yellow eyes. Kitecrash is troublesome, but a swift runner and great climber. She was found in ButterflyClan territory by Mintswirl, nursing her newborn litter of five.

Kitecrash is bold, imaginative, and strong-willed. She's afraid of snakes and of making the wrong choices, and tends to be indecisive. She's very honest and works hard.

Kitecrash is formerly of DogwoodClan, but left after some sort of argument with Bramblestar that she isn't keen on talking about.

Kite; Brown fur ; Observant ; Intelligent Crash; Loud ; Impulsive ; Swift-footed

[butterflyclan]

Shellkit

A golden rosette tom with yellow eyes. The son of Kitecrash, she gave birth to Shellkit and his siblings while trying to sneak across ButterflyClan territory. He's a major attention-seeker, and he's constantly climbing and has an active imagination.

Shell; Defensive ; Doesn't show emotions

[butterflyclan]

Late Summer

"I think I'm like you," Shadowbloom announced into the empty air. Mintswirl paused in their sorting and squinted at her.

"How so?"

"You know, not a tom, not a she-cat, something... else," she finished, gesturing lamely.

"Oh. Well, do you like being called they? Like... I met Shadowbloom, they're really cool."

"Yeah. But I also like she sometimes."

"Hm. Maybe you're both a she-cat and not at the same time."

Shadowbloom paused. "....Can I do that?"

Mintswirl shrugged. "I don't see why not."

Shadowbloom mulled this over, turning the thought in their mind. "Yes," they decided, nodding with a finality. "That's me. Sometimes a she-cat, but mostly not."

"I think I want to retire," Sakari told Parsleystar. The leader stopped and looked up at her, her brow creasing.

"Oh. I can hold a ceremony-"

"No, I don't want one," Sakari inturupted. "I just want to retire. I don't need the Clan to fawn over me."

"It's not fawning. It's thanking you for your service, for your contribution to our community."

"What have I done that needs thanking?" Sakari scoffed. "My son, Cloud, died. I couldn't save Aspenpaw. I have done nothing to contribute."

"You've raised Skyrumble to be a strong warrior," Parsleystar pointed out. "You've hunted and fought for us. What happened with Cloud and Aspenpaw wasn't your fault. It was horrible and tragic, but it wasn't because of you. ButterflyClan will want to thank you, Sakari. I want to thank you."

Sakari let out a long breath. She looked up at the sky, and paused when she saw a kitten-shaped cloud drift across the sun. She watched it for a long time before turning back to Parsleystar. "Okay."

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ𐀔

"From this day forth, you shall be known as Asphodelfang. We honor your skills in both hunting and fighting, and we welcome you as a full member of ButterflyClan."

Asphodelfang's heart thrummed with pride as the crowd cheered for her. She'd done it. She'd proven her worth, and she'd been made a warrior. She was good enough.

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ𐀔

Kitecrash curled over Crabkit's body. He was so small, somehow so much smaller than he'd been in life. She groomed his body, steadfastly ignoring the taste of death staining her tongue, making sure his fur covered the wound that had eventually killed him. She could give him comfort in his death. That much, she could do.

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ𐀔

"Hey!" A voice called. A dark brown tabby sat just over the border, their tail curled around a pair of she-kits. Skyrumble padded closer, Gingerpaw at his tail. "You lot are Clan cats, right? You give shelter to cats who need it?"

"Sometimes. Are you in need of any?"

"Housefolk are cruel sometimes," the tabby said in lieu of an answer. "They'll take my daughters as soon as they're able and send them away. I'd never see them again."

Skyrumble bit back a shocked hiss. "We'll bring you all to camp," he told them. "We'll see what our leader has to say, but I think she'd agree to let you stay for a while at least. She's not one to let kits be seperated from their parents."

"I'm Gingerpaw," the apprentice greeted, crouching in front of the kits. "What's your names?"

"I'm Seed, and this is Pod," the darker of the two kits introduced. "And that's our parent, Honeydew."

"Those are wonderful names!" Gingerpaw purred. Honeydew seemed amused by his antics, and swept their daughters along.

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ𐀔

Tumblefern took a step forward towards the crumpled and shivering she-cat, ears twitching curiously.

"Stop!" Mintswirl hissed, their fur spiking. Tumblefern froze in her spot, turning towards Mintswirl with her eyes wide. "She has redcough," Mintswirl explained. "It's very contagious, and very deadly." The she-cat let out a pitiful mewl, followed by a coughing fit that shook her whole body. Mintswirl winced.

"We can't get close. If an outbreak starts in camp, there will be no stopping it. With all the kits... we can't risk it." Tumblefern cast a mournful look at the sick she-cat before nodding. The two Clan cats continued on their trek, hearts heavy.

Foamkit

A golden she-cat with eyes the color of sunlit ice. The daughter of Kitecrash, she gave birth to Foamkit and her siblings while trying to sneak across ButterflyClan territory. Foamkit is insecure and constantly climbing things.
