The Life of Lightning

Prologue

The gentle night breeze rustled the leaves of the tall trees, still in full leaf, surrounding the stone hollow which made the Thunderclan camp. A tom with a flame colored pelt was pacing back and forth outside of a large bramble bush, a loud wail came from inside. The tom froze his green gaze bright with anxiety and fixed them on the nursery, a small tom with clouded blue eyes exited the den, "Is she okay," he asked, worry edging his mew, the flame colored tom was well aware that his mate wasn't as young as she used to be.

The blind tom nodded, "You have a healthy she-kit as well," he answered happy for his leader who was purring in delight. "Go and see Sandstorm, Firestar." Jayfeather said and began padding to his den, the bright moonlight washing the camp in its silver glow.

The Thunderclan leader watched his grandson go then turned and pushed his way into the nursery. Firestar stood in the entrance as his gaze adjusted, his green gaze met his mate's, and he purred and padded to her side and gave her a gentle lick, "How are you feeling?" Firestar mewed

The pale orange queen lifted her head, "A little tired," she sighed, nosing her little bundle. Firestar looked at his daughter, who was all gray except for a lightning shaped patch of white fur.

Firestar curled his tail in happiness and lay down next to his mate and youngest daughter, "What were you thinking of naming her?" he asked nosing his daughter; the small she-kit rolled over and swatted his nose with a tiny gray paw. Firestar purred, "She's a little warrior already" he turned his gaze to his mate, "How about Lightningkit, for her little patch of white fur," he suggested. Sandstorm twitched her whiskers in thought.

"I like it," she mewed, suddenly a bolt of lightning lit the night sky, Lightningkit squealed and nuzzled closer to Sandstorm's belly, the queen leaned down to lick her kit and realized her eyes were open, wide with fear. She gasped, and Firestar looked at his daughter and saw a pair of eyes the color he had never seen, they were a mix of amber and green, they were strange but still gorgeous.

"Those are the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen," Sandstorm mewed in amazement, she tore her gaze away and gazed at her mate, "You don't think the lightning had anything to do with it do you," she asked her green gaze shining, all Firestar did was shook his head.
