*The Life of Half star - (Inspired by Erin Hunters Awesome Story Series Warrior Cats) - 11 - Family reunion and saying Goodbye *
2 Full moons later
It was shortly after the Clan meeting. Greenleaf was at its full going. The Prey was running good and it had turned out that Silver feather and Sunshine Heart had come out pregnant of the mating's.
Today, Half star and Hawkeye had gone out hunting but in a few moments, their hunting would come to an end.
Half star was hiding behind a little bush and his Eyes were fixed on a tree.
" A little bit more.... A bit more.... MEOW !!!!"
Half star jumped at the tree or better said at a mouse that was eating a nut there. The mouse however had begun to run away before Half star could reach it and now they were both running around but not for long because suddenly, a second mouse crossed the way of Half stars one and a second later, a big shadow appeared next to Half star, heading straight into Half star.
" WATCH OUT !!!" Half star screamed and upwards while he was in full speed.
Thanks to the fact that it was an uncontrolled jump, he landed a bit wrong and he harmed his left paw a bit.
Once he had gathered himself, he turned around to see who had nearly run into him and once he saw who it was, he became a bit angry.
" Hawkeye!!! What on Earth has gotten into you? "
" OOOHHH.... ÄÄÄHHHH...... I´m sorry Half star.... I.... I didn´t saw you.... I was in..... " Hawkeye tried to say.
" HAH.... What's wrong with you? Since the morning you were acting so absent? "
" It´s just.... I was asking myself of why are you so cool? I mean.... Our girls are about to give birth and.... You are acting like it is nothing while I´m a nerve bundle. What is your secret?"
" That is your problem? HAHAHA.... There is no secret. I´m as nervous as you. "
" WHAT? But why.... " Half star cut him.
" Maybe because I´m becoming father for the second time but to tell you this...When the time comes then......"
" HALFSTAR!!! HAWKEYE!!!! " A loud female Voice had run through the forest, cutting Half star.
" HALFSTAR!!! HAWKEYE!!! WERE ARE YOU ???"
" WE ARE HERE!!! " Half star screamed into the Air and a few Heartbeats later the female jumped out of a bush next to them.
It was Wild Berry Claw who had called and now she was standing in front of them, breathing very hard.
" What´s happened Wild Berry Claw? „ Half star asked.
" I.... I´m .... Kits.... Coming.... Both. "
Both Toms knew exactly what she meant and so it was no wonder that once she had said that both began to run back to camp as fast as they could, leaving her behind without a word.
It didn´t took them long until both Toms were standing in front of the Nursery, breathing very hard.
" Press Silver feather!!! Press!!! One last time !!!" They both heard Black tooth saying from the inside.
" MMM....MMMM...... MEOW!!! " That was Silver feather who had screamed in pain and a second later.
" MEOW!!! " Sunshine Heart was heard.
" Good Sunshine Heart. Good. That was the last one. Now Brown paw. What do we do next?" That was Fur Cone Fur who had spoken.
" Now we cut the umbilical cord and then we lick the Kit to warm it. Right?" That was Brown paw, Fur cone Fur´s Apprentice.
She was one of Night Wings Kits, a young female with light Brown Fur, emerald green Eyes and a very high Voice.
" Right. Now do it. Help your first Kit to come to the world. "
A light bite was heard shortly afterwards and a few Heartbeats later, a low whimpering was heard.
" Fine Brown paw. Now lay it to the others on her side so that it can drink its first milk. How is it going on your side Black tooth?"
" All fine. I only need some Borage and Dracaena to strengthen her. Do you have some?"
" I´m sorry. I don´t have enough. Can you go and get some Brown paw?"
" Where are they stored?"
" They are... " Fur Cone Fur was cut because Half star had moved together with Hawk paw into the Nursery saying with a mouth full of the medicine.
" Thereschh... No ned.... * Spill* ... BLÄH .... I brought you some that I found on the way back here. "
" Prepared as always. Thank You Half star. "
Brown paw came up to Half star, took the medicine into her mouth, moved over to Silver feather and began to feat her with them.
It was clearly visible that both females had spent their energies while they had given birth and now they were only laying in their nests, not even able to move their Heads to great their Mates, who were now slowly moving next to them, looking permanently at the Kits.
Both females had given birth to 3 Kits. 2 Males and one female on Sunshine Hearts side and 1 Males and 2 Females on Silver feathers side.
" Is it always so exciting to see a birth ongoing?" Brown paw asked Fur Cone Fur.
" Yes it is Brown paw and it´s also exciting to get to know the Names of them what brings me to the point. What are their Names. "
She had asked Hawkeye and Silver feather but no respawn came from them.
" OK... Seems like that they are elsewhere with their thoughts. What is with you two?" She asked over to Half star and Sunshine Heart.
" Well... I don´t know. I have not thought of some till now. " Said Half star with a Paw rubbing his Head until Sunshine Heart asked.
" What were.... The Names of.... Your first Kits?"
Half star looked at her with big Eyes and said to her.
"No... Please. We cannot name them like them. It wouldn´t..... " She cut softly and gave him a look of that she knew he couldn´t resist.
" Please. "
" I.... I..... Please stop looking.... Like.... AAHHH.... OK but there is a little problem. "
" Which ... Is?"
" I only had one Son and one Daughter. Not two."
" Then.... I give her.... A Name. "
" Thank you my Love."
He then began to look closely over his Kits and then he saw that two of them where exactly looking like his death Kits and he thought to himself.
OOHHH Star clan!!! Thank You for giving me another chance.
" Well... " He then said. " The Boy is Red kit and... This Female will be Sand kit. "
" And the white one will be Snow kit. " Sunlight Heart added.
" These are really lovely Names I must say. " Brown paw said with a smile.
" Welcome to the Clan you three. " Fur cone Fur added also with smile and then the three Medicine Cats left the Nursery to leave them all alone with their happiness and joy.
3 Years later
Time had gone by and the Clan had to go through many really hard ones.
Only 2 Moons after Silver feather and Sunshine Heart had given birth, the Clan had been attacked by a Clan of Stray´s and in that fight, Half star had lost a Life, Black tooth gave her Live to protect Brown paw and to make it even more painful for all, Snow kit was also killed in it but only because it had been ill. It had been deaf and blind. Yet it still had been hard for the two but soon afterwards they both concentrated on the two remaining Kits and gave them all of their Love and time.
Over the time, Half star had lost all in all 4 of his 5 Lifes in many similar situations and now he was on his last one and that one was also nearly over.
" No!!! I will not order an attack, Red tip. " Half star said to his Son inside his den.
" But why not Half star? What do you need more to be shown? They had crossed the border several times now and... " Half star cut him.
" And you know exactly why he did that or are you blind as well?"
" What do you mean?"
" So you are blind. It was only one Tom each time and when I remember right.... Then he met your daughter Night paw."
" What? ÄÄHHH....Are you sure?"
" Of course I am. I found them playing around on one of my Night patrols. "
" And you did not send him away? Why?"
" Do I have to remember someone who did the same when he was young? Do I have to remember someone who had played around with his later Mate?"
" B... Bbb.... But that was.... "
" It is exactly the same situation. "
" AAHH...... HAHHHHH .... And what should I do now?"
" Talk with her over everything you went through and tell her that if they still want to be together still then...... He is welcomed here or .... She is allowed to leave the Clan and join his but.... Make sure.... That it will be.... forever in..... Both ways.... YYYYAAAAWWWWNNNN!!!! I´m so tired. "
" Then I will leave you alone. Thank you Half star and sorry for bothering you. "
" You are always.... Welcome Red tip.... Would you please.... Call.... "
" I will. Good Night.... Father. "
Red tip left the den of Half star and a few heartbeats later, Sunshine Heart came in, together with Brown leaf, who was moving next to her to give her some help while walking. Brown leaf, aka Brown paw had become a Medicine Cat One Moon ago.
" You.... Called my dear. "
" Yes.... Thank You Brown.... Brown leaf for.... Bringing her here. "
" It´s no problem for me Half star. Just watch her a bit. She isn´t the youngest anymore. "
A giggling went through the three and then Sunshine Heart slowly moved over to Half star, who was already laying in his nest, and laid herself next to him. Soon after, Brown leaf left the two and once she was out, Half star said to Sunshine Heart.
" Sunshine Heart. Are you there?"
" I´m here Half star. Right next to you. "
" I cannot see you. Please. Let me feel your warm Fur on mine. "
She moved herself as close as she could and once he felt her, he said.
" Do you think that.... I did the right things for the Clan?"
" You did.... What you had to do. "
" Do you... Think that.... They will.... Welcome me... In Star clan?"
" I do. If not.... They will... Just wait for me.... On the... Other side. "
They both didn´t said something on. They dropped down to sleep and after a few more Heartbeats, they died in Piece and side by side.
Star clan side
" Hi there you two. It´s nice to finally meet you two in person. " A Big white Tom said to Half star and Sunshine Heart, who were both suddenly standing on a wide and grassy Area.
" Thanks Stripe Star. It´s good to see you too. "
"Is this Star clan?" Sunshine Heart asked.
" Yes it is. Welcome to your new home. "
" So I was not a bad Leader after all. "
" You had never been one. Even if you thought it. It was your destiny to experience all of the things you went through."
" Really? In that case. What is going to happen with the Clan? Will he be save?"
" He will be and that for many generations. Thanks to the last decision you made. "
" Last decision?"
" About Night paw and her friend. Thanks to you, he will leave his Clan and join yours and on that way he ensures that the Clan run through some great times because he and his grandchildren will become great Leaders. And of course with a bit of help from our side."
" Now that you speak of that? Where is everyone? I´ve had hoped to see at last a few of them around. "
" HAHA.... It will take some time before you see them again. "
" Why?"
" It´s because they had never left you. They had all been around you till now. "
" WHAT??? Do you mean that they all had been reborn and were part of the Clan?"
" I exactly mean that!"
" Then they had all forgiven me?"
" They had never something to forgive you. Even worse. They had been all felt sorry for you that they had disappointed you. So they all went back down to earth to become part of you again to pay you back. "
" HHHHAAAAHHHHH.... In that case.... I will wait here for them until they are all back. "
" And I will wait with you my Mate. " Sunshine Heart said from the side and buried her Head into his side.
" You don´t need to wait here. Come with me. I show you a better waiting place. There you can also watch what´s happening down there and give them some help. "
The Tom then began to walk and the two followed. After a few heartbeats they reached a little lake, which was surrounded by many Cats. Once reached the Cats began to look at him and one of them said.
" Welcome young Half fur and Sunshine Heart. "
" Hello Light. I´m happy to finally be here." Half star answered
"Me too but ... Half fur?" Asked Sunshine Heart.
"That was my old Warrior Name before I became Leader."
"It sounded a bit better than Half face to me. " Stripe Star said to her.
" I see... Is that the Moon lake we see right now?"
"Not exactly. This is our connection to the world of the Living. In here we can see each and every one we want to see. "
" And how does it works?"
" Just look into the lake and think of the one you want to see. "
The Two did as they were told and only a heartbeat later they both saw the Camp.
"Look Sunshine Heart. It´s them. "
" Yeah Half star ... ÄÄÄHHH Fur.... ÄÄHHH.... "
" Just call me Half face now. I liked the Name more than the others."
" OK."
They both saw of what was going on right at that moment. The Sun began to rise and the Camp became slowly alive. They saw that Red tip together with Night paw came to Half stars den and before they entered they heard him saying.
" Half star! It´s me Red tip and Night paw. Can we come in?"
No answer came back and inside Star Clan Half star and Sunshine Heart began to feel sad.
" Half star? Are you awake?" Red tip asked but again no answer came back.
" Night paw, please stay here. I´m in to look around. "
" Yes Red tip. "
Red tip then went into the den only to come out a few heartbeats later. Once out he said to Night paw.
" Quickly Night paw!! Go get Brown leaf and bring her here!"
The young Apprentice followed the instruction without a word.
Another few Heartbeats passed until Night paw came back with Brown leaf on her Tail.
" What´s wrong Red tip?" Brown leaf asked.
" Please go inside and tell me that I´m wrong. " Red tip said back and went in together with Brown leaf.
Night paw wanted to go in also but Red tip stopped her by saying.
" NO!!! Wait outside please. "
The young apprentice followed again without a word but slowly began to fear and asked herself of what was going on. The fear even became harder when Red tip and Brown leaf appeared again with some very sad looks on their faces and when Red tip called out a Clan meeting from the Stone, her fear became solid.
" What has happened Brown leaf?" She asked the Medicine Cat but she only answered.
" Get down to the others.... And listen to what Red tip has to say."
She did as she was told. She moved down from the Stone and moved over to the others who were slowly gathering. Once each one was there, Red tip began to speak and it was visible that he was holding back some tears, just like Brown leaf.
" Warriors of Water clan... " He began. " .... As we all know... Our time here is limited and.... Tonight.... Two of our best Warriors have left us to join Star clan... T....Tonight.... Sunshine Heart.... And.... Half star...."
He couldn't talk on and he didn´t needed it. Each one began to cry or had some Tears in his Eyes. Even Half star and Sunshine Heart in Star clan had some but on their side it were Tears of sorrow.
".... Please....Someone.... Help me.... Carry out their.... Bodies. " Red tip managed to say before he went back into the den.
A Bit Later River tail, One Son of River fish, Raven feather, A Daughter of Raven wing, Night paw and Shadow paw, her friend from Lion Stars Clan, entered the den and a few heartbeats later they carried out the death Bodies of Half star and Sunshine Heart. Once they became visible on the Den entrance, each Cat of the Clan began to Meow into the Air as loud as he or she could, just like Half star had it done on the death Body of his brother Light star. Normally they had been forbidden by Half star to do that for him but now the pain inside each once Heart was too great to hide anymore. In their opinion, one of the greatest Leaders of all time had gone and was now watching them from far away.
Each one of the Clan shared a last time Tongues and then each one went outside to dick them a grave. Once their Bodies had laid down to rest, the hole Clan kept a vigil for the whole Day on the Graves and when the Day had passed by, Red tip was declared by the hole Clan as new Leader and River tail became Deputy.
