Lilacaroma screamed in pain as contractions began in her stomach area. What was happening to her?! Am I ill? she thought hazily. She screamed again, not knowing what to do. She fell to the ground, too stunned to will herself to move and in too much pain to anyway.
------------TIME SKIP-------------
She gaped at 4 kits lying beside her. But still, she had to name them. Thinking hard, she heard a voice in her head, not her own but somewhat familiar, telling her what to do. She had heard the voice at Gatherings before. Cloudkit, Shadowkit, Tailkit, and Fatekit! Her mind was too confused to think up any other names, so she looked down at her kits. A pure, heavenly white tom with black paws and tail -- "Fatekit," she found her own voice saying, cutting into her thoughts. Then she looked at a black and white she-kit that looked familiar...the voice in her head registered as revelant to the kits appearance. She chose the first name the voice had suggested. "Cloudkit," she mewed, voice softer than before. Then she looked to a shady dark gray tom. "And Shadowkit," she choked out, voice a murmur now. Her face twisted in pain. She was still bleeding. Looking to the last kit, she couldn't even catch a glimpse of it for her vision was clouding. "Tail...kit..." she whispered. Then Lilacaroma's body went deathly still. Her eyes never even closed, their clouded depths staring into nothingness. She roused to see a black and white she-cat -- Stormstar! -- calling. "Fawnstar?" the leader called, "I believe we must teach these kits. They will defeat Demonstorm."

Fogbreeze was walking along through the forest by himself. All of a sudden, he scented Lilacaroma and something else.... Then he realized what it was. Kits. He ran over and stood there, too shocked to move. He heard the femme name each of her four kits, then watched as she died. She hadn't even noticed that he was there. When he saw her stop breathing, he padded slowly over and looked down at the four, tiny kits. His dark gray eyes were filled with sympathy for the tiny kits who would never know their mother. Then he realized something. Fawnshadow... Shadowkit. Foxtail... Tailkit. Both of them were killed by Demonstorm, his father. But what about Stormkit and Fatekit? He wondered. Has my father killed more cats?
Fawnstar looked at Lilacaroma and meowed, "Yes, they shall defeat Demonstorm." His green eyes were filled with sorrow. "I'm sorry you had to leave your kits so soon."

Lilacaroma was still blinking in shock. She looked at Fawnstar, sad. "What? No...who will foster them? Anyone? Or will they die?" She noticed Fogbreeze seeing her body. She was quick to accept the fact she was dead and said, "Stormstar? Was that you I heard?"
Stormstar nodded. "I recieved a chilling prophecy. And I think that these are..." she meowed, "Hold on, let me tell you the prophecy first." She paused, thinking hard, and her eyes glazed over. "Four kits are being born, ones who will hold the power to destroy the demon looming over the Clans from the start." She paused, looking at Lilacaroma and Fawnstar for reactions.
Cloudkit complained about something in a wordless wail. She noticed that something was wrong. The one she was feeding off of, the one who gave her milk, was cold. Before, it was warm. Was that bad? She wailed again, squirming uncomfortably.

Stormwing;;
'It cannot be!' The strained voice of a tom echoed over the surrounding land, cracking with the imminent grief. Gray paws flashed across the ground, a mouse dropping the the ground from jaws now agape, as a muscular tom raced over the to body of his loved one. Four kits squirmed beside Lilacaroma's stiff form, full of life in contrast to his mate's cold one. 'Please don't leave me Lilacaroma.' The words were whispered, and all Stormwing's love for the femme was poured out through them. Pale green orbs glistened as the tom crouched beside Lilacaroma's body, oblivious to Fogbreeze being there. [/blockquote]

Cloudkit pushed herself in the direction of warmth, the closest source of comfort she could find. She pressed up against her father's body, wailing again. Her eyes and ears still closed, all she could tell was that it was something warm...unlike her mother...
Lilacaroma whispered with all the love in her heart into Stormwing's ear, "I will never truly leave you. Take care of our kits..." She then stepped back, eyes pained and tainted with much grief at parting.

Fatekit followed his sister. Even though he was a new born he was already playing as he batted at Cloudkit. A silent call for milk sounded as he parted his jaw. His closed eyes turning towards who he took to be his father.

Stormwing;;
Stormwing started as a kit pressed itself against him. Green optics glanced down at Cloudkit, growing soft. Stormwing wrapped his tail around and swept all four kits against his side, as if protecting them from whatever danger might be a threat to their well fare. Tailkit gazed up at Stormwing, pale green orbs identical to his, the same gray pelt sleek at the touch. Stormwing blinked, then lay his head down beside Lilacaroma's bodice, taking this last time to be with his mate. [/blockquote]

Cloudkit was still mewling in confusion. Where was the milk?
Lilacaroma watched her family.

Fatekit turned to his brother Shadowkit, who hadn't moved. He felt heat coming from the body, but why wouldn't they move. Batting at Stormwing, he gave a suprisingly loud mew for milk.

Stormwing;;
Stormwing raised his head from Lilacaroma's body. Green optics stared down at his four kits, all he had left of his beloved mate, who had left him so cruelly. The tom nuzzled each one in turn, unable to do more for them. Stormwing very well knew what they craved, something of which he was unable to give. He had to find some way to feed them, some way. They would perish at his paws otherwise, were he to fail in this prospect. Stormwing raised his head to the surrounding forest, wailing aloud for someone, anyone, to help. His cries echoed across FernClan, expanding until his voice died on the wind. [/blockquote]

Cloudkit scented milk. Milkscent...she followed it to the cold body, where still milk remained, in preparation for her kits during the pregnancy, ready. Though the kit loathed the cold, she suckled.
OOC: In real life even hours after a cat dies milk will still be in their body if they died giving birth ]:

Fatekit felt Cloudkit leave and he also picked up the scent. Slowly and cautiously he followed suit.

Stormwing;;
Green optics followed the path his kits took, warily, in case he felt they were to go to far. Antoher warm body detatched itself from Stormwing as Tailkit followed Fatekit and Cloudkit to their mother's cold, lifeless body. The urge for milk was to overwhelming to deny. Stormwing nudged Shadowkit towards his mate's body, resting beside her once more. 'I won't let you go...I won't.' Stormwing murmured as he lay his head beside Lilacaroma's, keeping a trained eye upon his kits. [/blockquote]

Shadowkit mewed pitifully, moving closer to his mother's cold, lifeless body. He started to suckle while kneading his mother's belly.
Fogbreeze looked over at Stormwing, his gray eyes full of sympathy. "I'm so sorry for your loss." He murmured. "Maybe Stormdove can take care of them along with our kits. But for now we should get them back to camp."
