I nuzzled my kits towards me as the battle grew to an end. I was so glad they were ok."Mommy" Auburnkit asked "where is daddy?" "I don't know sweetie." Me and my two kits were in a small hole i had dug with Acornfur inside to guard us. He was my mates best friend. My mate was deputy so he had to stay outside with the clan and fight. After a few hours (days it felt like) Acornfur dug out of the hole. Flamekit exclaimed "look mommy now we can see daddy!" "Of corse sweetheart." I was hopeful my mate was ok. I don't know what I would do without him. Even though I knew deep down in my heart that would be a very low chance. Acornfur had hit the surface and he walked out. I told my kits to wait. He came back and told us we could come out. I emerged from he hole and saw so many dead cats everywhere. My kits were glued to my sides. Acornfur lead is to our camp. He told us to stay there while he looked around for any survivors. I dug a small spot for me and my kits to hide in the apprentices den(what was left of it). Acornfur came back not long later with Badgerfoot. Badgerfoot was limping and had many scratches. Acornfur was letting him lean on him. Acornfur said he would go and look for a medicine cat to help them. I looked for some cobwebs for Badgerfoot to help him. I found a good clump in a corner of the den. I put it on his worst scratches. He came running back with Lakesong and Littlepaw not far behind.They were cats of Streamclan but they were our only hope. Lakesong was the Streamclan medicine cat and Littlepaw was a Streamclan apprentice. Lakesong went over to Badgerfoot and told Acornfur and Littlepaw to get as many herbs as they could from the old medicine cats den. They raced off and she asked me to find some cobwebs if there were any. I told my kits to stay put and was off. I looked in the nursery and found some there. I grabbed them and brought them back to the apprentices den. I dropped them at her side where the rest of the available herbs left were. There were a very small pile. A long time passed and Acornfur and Littlepaw had gone out to search for other cats that were still alive. Badgerfoot was resting on the ground. I told Lakesong to get some rest because she needed it for her soon to come patients and told her I could stand guard. Soon after that I spotted Littlepaw and Acornfur dragging a car behind them. It was a Sugarpaw a she-cat from my clan. She was barely breathing at all and they dragged her into the den. I woke up Lakesong and they left to look for more cats. The two cats set off again. It was around moon high and I saw three shapes looming towards me. They were dragging something towards me. Soon I saw it was Acornfur, Littlepaw, and Daisyheart walking. They were carrying Creekpelt. Daisyheart is from Darkclan and Creekpelt is from Prairieclan. They came closer and closer. I woke up Lakesong so she would be ready to treat the injured cats. They reached us and set down Creekpelt. He was breathing but his eyes were closed. All of a sudden my stomach growled. "Are you hungry Squirreltail?" Asked Acornfur. For the first time I realized I was hungry. "I am but I can wait for the morning. You have been working for a long time. You need some rest." "No I'm sure we are all hungry. I'll catch us all something's with Daisyheart and Littlepaw. It'll be fine." "My kits kept on telling me they were starving before.I guess it couldn't hurt if he was out a little longer." "Alright let's go you two." And with that they were off. When they came back they had caught a squirrel, 2 fish, 2 mice and a vole. I took a squirrel for me and my kits and they are it up very swiftly. I think I only got one or two small bites out of that. At least it would give me something in my belly. I snuggled up with my kits and fell asleep. When morning awoke I was up bright and early. I felt like doing some hunting. Acornfur was still sleeping but Daisyheart was awake. I asked her if she wanted to go hunting and she agreed to go with me. We went through the forest and sniffed out all the different scents. When we were about mid way hunting we heard a yowl. I stopped dead in my tracks. It was a cat.
