(Can I create Puddlesplash's kits?)

Chapter 9 (yay finally :P)

Lionstar looked around, bored. "Stonesky, Heatherthorn," he asked, glancing at the two new warriors. "Do you want to go hunting?"

"Sure!" Heatherthorn replied. Stonesky nodded in agreement.

"Alright," Lionstar meowed. "Stonesky, can you find Shadefoot and Mistpaw? Heatherthorn, would you mind fetching Featherfall?"

Stonesky and Heatherthorn nodded and turned away. Lionstar sighed, feeling something weird at the bottom of his paws. Something's definitely wrong. But what? Shaking his head, Lionstar pushed through the camp entrance, spotting Heatherthorn, Stonesky, Featherfall, Shadefoot, and Mistpaw following him. Shadefoot suddenly diverted away briefly before returning, carrying a mouse.

"Nice job!" Lionstar praised.

"Um, thanks?" Shadefoot replied sheepishly.

Lionstar turned and pressed himself to the ground, scenting a robin. He flicked his tail, a signal for the rest of the patrol to fan out and hunt. Slowly stalking forward, the small bird soon came into view, picking at a worm wriggling around on the soft earth. Lionstar pounced and landed square on the bird, quickly nipping its neck. He paused and looked up, hearing Mistpaw yowl. He quickly pushed himself to his paws and raced through the forest, trying to find the apprentice.

"Mistpaw! Mistpaw!" He called.

Lionstar tripped on a root and went tumbling down a small slope, stopping at the edge of a clearing. He slowly rolled over, regaining his senses. He tasted the air, scenting faint Windclan scent. Am I that close to the border? He turned and almost immediately spotted Mistpaw hanging near the edge of the clearing with her fur fluffed up. Shadefoot and Heatherthorn were already standing by Mistpaw, and he could hear Stonesky and Featherfall's thrumming paws as they pounded toward Mistpaw. Lionstar looked the other way, spotting what had surprised Mistpaw. Greystream, Riversong, and Pebblecreek were all gasping and panting.

"What are you doing here?" Lionstar asked just as Stonesky and Featherfall arrived.

"We... need your... help." Greystream replied, breathless.

"What do you mean?" Stonesky questioned.

Greystream straightened. "There was... there was a food shortage in Riverclan... can you help us?"

Lionstar tipped his head to one side thoughtfully. "What caused the food shortage? Whatever it is, can you stop it? Oh, and how's Puddlesplash?"

Greystream flicked his tail. "We don't know, so we can't do anything about it. Puddlesplash gave birth to three healthy kits, all grey. Troutleap hardly leaves the nursery anymore. She named the two toms Cinderkit and Ashkit, and the she-cat Willowkit." (Is that okay with you Dove?)

Lionstar nodded. "That's good news. And we'll try to help you."

Audible sighs of relief could be heard from the three Riverclan cats.

"Well, let's go." Stonesky meowed, turning away. Riversong followed him eagerly.

Lionstar sighed. What happened to Riverclan? Will it somehow affect all the clans?

(Sorry it's really bad but I couldn't think of anything else)
