Prologue
Darkfeather winced as the 3rd bundle of fur tumbled into the moss. Badgerheart opened the kit’s airway and licked its fur backwards. The kits jaws parted into a soundless mew for food. Badgerheart placed it by its mother. "You did great" she meowed to the queen.
Darkfeather just looked at her kits. "They’re beautiful" Badgerheart told her.
"I know. Thunderclan is lucky to have such a talented medicine cat." the queen dipped her head. "I only did what any cat would do" Badgerheart looked at the kits. "I’ll get Stonefang" she padded out of the nursery. A moment later a blue gray tom poked his broad head in, his body quickly followed.
The medicine cat was nowhere to be seen. "They’re wonderful" he breathed to his mate. "What should we name them?" he asked gazing at his kits. "This she-kit will be called Rainkit." Darkfeather said touching the blue and white she-kit's head. "You name him" she smiled at her mate and touched the tom’s head. "Ok then." he looked at the kit 4 a long time. "Nightkit" he decided. "A perfect name" she said.
"We have 1 more to name." Stonefang reminded her. "Oh, yes" she looked at the last kit, a tiny white she-kit with very light gray striped under coat. "Tigerkit" she breathed. "Tigerkit, Rainkit, Nightkit" Stonefang repeated his kits names.
Chapter 1 still in progress.
“Wake up!” Tigerkit prodded her mother. “What?” Darkfeather sat up “you’ve opened your eyes!” she exclaimed. Tigerkit looked at her. “When can i go explore?” she asked ducking away from her mother’s tongue. “When your brother and sister open their eyes” she reached her tongue and smoothed her kits fur down, between her ears. Tigerkit turned to her sister’s sleeping body. “Wake up.” She poked her and did the same to her brother. Nightkit flicked his ear and went on sleeping. Rainkit sat up and Tigerkit stood up, only to fall. Darkfeather licked Rainkit’s ruffled fur. “Tigerkit come here.” She said. Tigerkit got back up and walked the few paces without falling. “I just want to see your eyes.” “Ok.” The 2 she-kits mewed. Tigerkit held her head and Darkfeather saw ice blue eyes. Rainkit looked up at her mother with her father’s amber eyes. “You’re both beautiful” she said. “Your brother isn’t going to wake up soon, soooo. Go and explore.” “Yay!” they exclaimed. “Thank you!” the kits jumped up and raced toward the den entrance. “Don’t be a bother.” Darkfeather called after them. “We won’t” Rainkit called back. The brightness of the sun hurt Tigerkit’s eyes. “Wow. It’s so big.” She looked at the Thunderclan camp in awe. “Hello kits” Twistedfoot called. “Hi” Tigerkit followed her sister toward the young cat. “Are you a warrior?” Tigerkit asked. “No. I’m an elder.” He said. “You don’t look that old” Rainkit gave him a puzzled look. “Why thank you. But I had to become an elder early” “why” Rainkit asked. “Don’t be rude” Fawntooth said dropping her bedding. “It’s ok Fawntooth. I don’t mind. I hurt my foot falling out of a tree, so I had to move to the elders den.” “Oh” Tigerkit sniffed the moss Fawntooth had dropped. “Ewe! That smells bad” she jumped back. “How would you like to meet Mistpelt?” Twistedfoot asked. “Who’s that?” Rainkit motioned Tigerkit over. “She’s my den mate” he turned and padded into a log with lichen swaying over the hole.
“Hurry” Tigerkit raced after him. Wow the camp was so cool and she hadn’t seen all of it yet! She stopped beside Twistedfoot, Rainkit skidded to a halt tumbling and knocking Tigerkit over. “You should learn to walk before you learn to run” a blue-gray she-cat chuckled. “I’m Mistpelt. What are your names?” “I’m Tigerkit and this is my sister Rainkit. Our brother Nightkit is still asleep.” Tigerkit looked at the she-cat. “Have you seen the rest of the camp?” Mistpelt looked at Tigerkit. “No. not yet.” Rainkit piped in. “then why are you standing here? Go and explore!” Mistpelt looked at them. “If you come back later I’ll tell you a story.” “Ok!” Rainkit turned and ran out, her sister followed. “That was….nice” Rainkit said.
“Rainkit! Tigerkit!” Stonefang called his daughters names. “I see you opened your eyes” he looked at them. “Are you our dad?” Rainkit asked. “Of course he is” Tigerkit padded toward him. “Stonefang!” a muscular cat was calling his father’s name. “Be right there Blazeclaw! I’ll come and see you later” he told his kits bounding off.
A snowy white she-cat raced through the entrance of the camp. The she-cat let a wail escape her mouth. Tigerkit looked at Rainkit. “What’s going on?” she asked her older sister. “How should I know?” she countered. “He’s dead!” the cat wailed. “Who’s dead Frostshadow?” Blazeclaw raced to her side. “Frostshadow? Who’s dead?” the she-cat wouldn’t move.
Finally she when she caught her breath she said “_______. We were attacked on Sunningrocks by a Riverclan patrol, an-an-and” she choked on the words. “I couldn’t help him.” she stopped sinking to the ground. Blazeclaw jumped onto high stone. “Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath high rock for a clan meeting” he waited as all the cats gathered around. Mistpelt came out of the elders den grumbling. “What now. Why is he up there?” she growled.
“Riverclan has taken Sunningrocks” Blazeclaw told the clan. “In addition to that they have killed __________” gasps surrounded Tigerkit. “We must fight!” Stonefang said stepping forward. Meows of agreement came from the crowd. Blazeclaw rose his voice so it carried around the clearing. “We will send a patrol to fetch _____’s body and bring it back. “We will not fight”
Outraged voices rang around the camp. “Why not” a large tom said. “Because I said. We will fight after I journey to Moonstone.” He looked around at the cats below him. “Stonefang, Fawntooth, I and Badgerheart will bring _____’s body back. Then I and Badgerheart will go to Moonstone” he jumped down and gathered the few warriors. They quickly headed out into the forest.
“Why now?” Darkfeather was standing behind her kits. “what’s going on?” Tigerkit asked her fear edging its way into her voice. “_____ our leader has joined Starclan. Go on back to the nursery” “but we haven’t seen everything” She whined. “you can do that tomorrow. Now go” Tigerkit padded towards the nursery her tail dragging the ground. Her sister followed.
A light rain was falling when the patrol came back, carrying the former Thunderclan leader. Tigerkit watched them lay his body in the center of the clearing. Slowly Blazeclaw her father and any cats she didn’t know the name of but had seen, touched their noses to their former leader. Then Blazeclaw his fiery pelt clinging to his frame padded toward the thorn tunnel, Badgerheart met him and they set off.
“Where are they going?” Tigerkit turned around and asked her mother “he’s going to receive his nine lives from Strarclan” “oh” she went back and layed down.
* * * * * * ******************************
Something cold hit Tigerkit’s nose. “hey!” she mewed shaking the rain from her head. “it had been half a moon since Blazestar received his nine lives. He appointed ______ as the new deputy and Nightkit had opened his eyes the day after.
Tigerkit jumped out of the way as Nightkit hurled himself at her. “Mouse-brain I could hear you behind me.” She ran and jumped on his back. He was bigger than her but not as fast. “give up?” he laughed. Tigerkit felt a weight on her back “oomph” Nightkit collapsed. “no fair” Tigerkit whined from under her sister. “you’re squishing me” Nightkit croaked. “sorry Rainkit jumped off.
“Go play outside” Darkfeather meowed. “ok Tigerkit raced outside. “let’s play spy” Nightkit said coming up behind her. “ok. Who should we spy on?” Tigerkit asked. “Blazestar” Rainkit whispered. “why are you whispering” Nightkit lowered his voice to match hers. “so we aren’t heard” she rolled her eyes. “where is Blazestar?” Tigerkit looked around. “there!” Rainkit motioned to where some warriors were weaving brambles into the barrier. Blazestar was walking away toward the fresh kill pile. “no I have a better idea” Tigerkit motioned to her littermates to come closer. “let’s play warriors” she said. “we can pretend that Blazestar is Shadowclan and he’s invading our territory.” Yeah” “Ok” they agreed. “attack!” Nightkit yowled and charged the leader” Rainkit followed squealing “die Shadowclan scum!” Tigerkit charged after her and jumped on the leader’s back. “surrender Shadowclan fur ball” Tigerkit dug in her claws as Blazestar fell to his side. “you’ve got me! I surrender!” he laughed.
“Yay!” Rainkit jumped back. “we won!” Nightkit reared up on his back legs and fell over. “Thunderclan!” Tigerkit scurried over the leader’s side. “you will be wonderful warriors” Blazestar stood and shook out his pelt. The sun caught it and set it shining, like the blaze for which he was named. “can we be warriors now?” Nightkit bounced around the tom. “you’ll get your chance soon enough. I have to do something now” he added toward high stone and leaped onto it “Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath high rock for a clan meeting” the ancient call. Tigerkit looked at her sister. What’s he doing? Tigerkit thought.
Stonefang padded over and sat down to the side of high rock. He motioned to Darkfeather who was lying in the sun. “do you know what’s going on?” she asked. “maybe. Not really.” Tigerkit bounded over to them flanked by Nightkit and Rainkit. “good morning” Stonefang motioned for her to sit. Nightkit and Rainkit sat by Darkfeather.
