Mapleshade's Forgiveness Chapter One
Frecklewish flicked her tail as Mapleshade left the camp with her three tiny kits behind her. She was still filled with rage but also sadness. She really wanted to get to know Mapleshade and even though the kits weren't her brothers, she still cared about them, even now. She followed the she-cat, telling the clan that she was off to check if the traitor had left the territory. She followed Mapleshade's scent to the river where the black water lapped at the shore like a hungry fox, waiting for it's next meal. She spotted the tortoise shell she-cat with her three small bundles, they were at the first stone and as Frecklewish opened her mouth, she looked to the other side of the bank, seeing a brown tom with holly green eyes.
"Appledusk..." She hissed and then noticed that there was a large wave coming towards them. She knew that if the kits were hit with the wave, the tom won't save his own kits. If he could kill Birchface and let Flowerpaw dive in after him, then he would probably watch, happily as his kits and mate drown. She needed to act quickly and started to run towards the she-cat.
"Mapleshade! Grab the kits and come back!" Frecklewish screeched, terrified. "Hurry there's a wave! You won't make it!"
Mapleshade's fur stood on end as she saw the wave, she grabbed the closest kit to her, a small calico tom, and tossed him over to the shore before grabbing both the pale brown she-cat and dark brown tom and jumped next to the calico tom, Patchkit, and curled her tail around him. Frecklewish sighed with relief and sat down in front of the queen.
"I'm so happy you're safe!" Frecklewish purred, she looked at the kits, drenched and shivering. The poor things looked extremely tired and she knew that they would need to nurse soon.
Mapleshade hissed and kept her kits close. "Why did you help me? Why are you here?"
"Well... At first I was making sure you left the territory but I also came to tell you that, even though you betrayed the clan... I forgive you" Frecklewish shifted her paws in the sand. "It was wrong of me to have assumed your kits were Birchface's" the spotted she-cat thought for a moment, Mapleshade never agreed with her, she'd only looked at her and Frecklewish thought it as a sign. Frecklewish understood that Mapleshade was only trying to make sure her kits weren't treated differently but by telling the clan that they were Birchface's, she'd doom them to being in the toms shadow.
Mapleshade looked at her kits. "I don't understand why you care... Don't you hate me? Like everyone else in Thunderclan for what I've done?" Her tail lashed, still keeping her kits close.
"Mapleshade... I want to help you, maybe I could convince Oakstar to let you back, yes you might not be trusted for awhile but after they see that you are a loyal warrior again then they'll forget about what happened"
"And what about my kits? They weren't treated like other kits that are born in the clan! All you and Thunderclan did was compare them to Birchface!" Mapleshade hissed, her claws unsheathed.
Frecklewish folded her ears, the queen was right. She looked up when a rain drop landed on her muzzle.
"Please just trust me... I promise I'll make things right you just need to trust me and let me help you"
Mapleshade looked at her kits and then at Frecklewish. "Where will we sleep? We can't go back to camp that's for sure"
"Come with me, I know where an old fox den is, you can stay there until Oakstar allows you back" Frecklewish rose and waited as Mapleshade grabbed her kits and placed them on her back, she whispered to them and they soon settled down in the queen's glossy dappled fur. Frecklewish started to pad towards the treeline, going slow so Mapleshade could catch up, the she-cat looked moons older than she was and Frecklewish knew she needed food and rest. They made it to a hole hidden under a root of the tree. Mapleshade settled the kits down onto the ground as Frecklewish was getting moss ready for the nest they would sleep in. She placed it inside the den and let the queen the settle in with the kits.
"Stay here, I'm going to get something for you to eat" Frecklewish left the den and padded off, catching a scent of a magpie and raced up the tree. She killed it quickly and padded to the den, placing the prey down. She started to pluck the feathers off and placed them in the moss nest so that the kits could play with them when they wanted.
"Thank you Frecklewish... If you truly forgive me for what I've done... I'm glad to call you my friend" Mapleshade said before starting to eat, the kits were at her belly and had started to nurse.
Frecklewish felt a purr rise in her throat and she nodded, she left the small family and padded back to camp, her heart filled with hope of what would be coming next.

Mapleshade's Forgiveness Chapter two: Strange feelings
Mapleshade woke up in the small abandoned fox den, her kits lay beside her belly sleeping. She smiled, happy that her kits were safe. All night she had been riddled with the images of her kits drowning and Appledusk betraying her. She hissed something under her breath before getting to her paws and licking her kits awake. She would go and tell Appledusk what happened in the clan, hopefully they could get across easily today. As she took a step forward, a shadow covered the entrance of the den and Mapleshade froze, her heart pounded as she stared at the entrance, her large tail covering her three kits. Her ears flattened against her head and she unsheathed her claws, ready to protect her kits from anything or anyone. Suddenly a familiar face poked itself in and Mapleshade relaxed, sheathing her claws and her ears perking up.
"Hello Frecklewish" Mapleshade said, her voice calm, though she still didn't fully trust the she-cat.
Frecklewish, however, seemed happy as if the reason why Mapleshade was here in the first place wasn't that her own clanmates hadn't exiled her and her kits.
"Good morning! I hope you slept well" she purred, placing a fat robin down by the queen. "I brought prey, sorry if I'm a bit late… the patrol lasted so long and I couldn't get away with Oakstar freaking out..." the freckled molly looked away, her amber eyes not meeting Mapleshade's.
"Thank you" Mapleshade said simply, slightly confused why the molly apologized until she noticed it was sun high. She folded her ears, a bit embarrassed about sleeping in even if she was a nursing queen, she couldn't remember the last time she had slept in.
The tortoise shell molly shook her head to clear her thoughts and started to eat the robin. Her kits were now awake and playing with feathers, even Patchkit seemed to be having fun. 'Well… even if Appledusk doesn't care about me… at least I have them…' the queen thought, finishing the bird and licking her muzzle.
"What do you have planned today?" Frecklewish asked, causing Mapleshade to jump slighty since she was distracted.
"I don't know... what can I do? Thunderclan hates me and the gathering will be in a few days. Oakstar will tell all the clans what happened to me..." she hissed, looking at her paws. She didn't want to tell Frecklewish about her plans of going to see him today, in part that the she-cat seemed to hate Appledusk for killing her brother and a Thunderclan apprentice.
"You could show the kits the territory... " Frecklewish suggested.
"Oh yes and while I'm at it, how about I get my kits killed by a Thunderclan patrol" Mapleshade spat, lashing her tail.
"I- I was just saying ideas…" the spotted molly looked away, her ears folded.
"Well, next time you shouldn't say something so mouse brained" Mapleshade hissed, not caring if she upset the warrior. She looked away, watching her kits again.
Patchkit now had the feather, the smaller tom batted it around with a paw while Larchkit tried to get the red feather. Petalkit had fallen asleep again, her fur still a little wet from last night. Mapleshade's expression softened, she hadn't seen her daughter not join in with her brothers play time. She turned to Frecklewish.
"Can you keep us safe?" Mapleshade asked, her amber eyes narrowed.
"W-what?" Frecklewish blinked, surprised and Mapleshade cursed under her breath before calming down and looking at her.
"If we go out, can you keep us safe from Thunderclan?" Mapleshade asked again, hoping this time she wouldn't have to repeat herself.
"O-oh yes- yes! I can!" The freckled she-cat smiled and Mapleshade could hear a soft purring sound from the warrior.
Mapleshade rolled her eyes, hoping she wouldn't regret this decision.
It was sundown before they found their way back to the fox den. Mapleshade felt as if her shoulders were on fire. Frecklewish hadn't been too annoying today, she had helped her a lot with the kits and they even hunted together as if Mapleshade was part of the clan. Mapleshade helped her kits into the moss nest and then turned to look at the warrior.
"Well… I should probably head back to camp..." Frecklewish said in a soft voice, her eyes were looking away from the queen.
"Right… wouldn't want Oakstar to be worried about you" the Tortoise shell molly bit her tongue softly to hold back a hiss at the mention of her former leader.
Frecklewish nodded and turned to leave. Mapleshade flicked her tail and turned to go into her den when something inside her made her turn around. "Hey uh… thank you Frecklewish… it's kinda nice having you around… I guess" the molly wouldn't meet Frecklewish's eyes as the warrior turned around with a shocked expression on her face. Mapleshade could feel her face heat up from embarrassment. 'Am I that cruel in her eyes? A simple thank you and compliment is a shock…'
"It… it's nice having you around too Mapleshade… I wish I stood up for you… I'm sorry about that..." Frecklewish looked away and then smiled. "I'll see you tomorrow. Sleep well Mapleshade" she purred and turned, disappearing into the bushes.
'W-was I just nice to one of the cats who drove me and my family out of my home and clawed me in the face?… am I going soft?' Mapleshade thought, staring at the bushes where the warrior had disappeared. Mapleshade shook her head and padded into the den, laying in the nest and curling her tail around her sleeping kits. 'No… I'm just being nice so she'll still help me that's all… right?' The queen stared at the entrance, a part of her hoping the warrior would come back. Mapleshade hissed softly at those stupid feelings and laid her head on her paws, closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.
