Hollyfur was alone today in the ThunderClan nursery. She was the only Queen expecting kits this harsh leaf-bare. Being alone, despite her mate, Shadowstripe, made her nervous.
Shadowstripe always had a strong bond with his mate, Hollyfur. He could always tell when she was upset. And today, he knew once he awoke in the warriors den, that she was anxious. About what, he was doing to find out.
Shaking off the fine layer of snow that had fallen upon his face that night --- he always slept near the den entrance --- he stretched his limbs and exited the warriors den, and made his was quickly to the Nursery. There he found, Hollyfur, anxiously pacing.
"Hollyfur, shouldn't you be lying down?" he asked, walked up to her and rubbing his face on her shoulder.
Hollyfur shook her head, but her meow contridicted that. "Yes, I should, but I'm just so fidgety today. I'm only a moon away from my expected kitting, you know."
Shadowstripe nodded. "Yes, I do." he then thought for a moment. "Do you want me to ask Halfstar if I could accompany you on a territory walk? I think you need to get out of camp for a bit. I'll see if I can catch him before he and our Snowpaw leave for hunting."
Hollyfur nodded gratefully to her mate. "Yes, please."
Shadowstripe gave her a quick lick on her ear and left teh Nursery in search of his leader.
