The Unlucky Clan

by Jazzthekat

"Echostar's going to regret that she lived." Greytalon hissed under his breath. Stoneclan was weak and his leader was stupid. Darkclaw flinched as she heard the tom's cold words. "She's still our leader Greytalon." "Our clan is dieing because of her! Frozenclan will soon destroy us all if we let this continue!" Darkclaw closed her eyes, why was Starclan not on their side at all?

Chapter 1: The Kit

Dawnmist tried to hold back her screech and yowl as she bit down hard on the stick that Lillyflower had put in her mouth just before she started to give birth to her kit. Dawnmist felt pain surging up on her stomach and tried her best to breath in gulps of air despite the great pain.

"Hold in their Dawnmist! Your kit is coming!"

Lillyflower shouted as she rubbed Dawnmist's stomach to get her kit. Dawnmist felt the world around her twirl as her other kits looked at her with concern eyes.

"Mother! You can do this! You're very strong!"

WhitePaw told his mother while his white fur was shaking rapidly while RainPaw looked at her mother in shock.

"Mother, we're here for you, you can do this," Rainpaw told her mother as calm as possible despite the situation. Lillyflower looked at Dawnmist with her calm amber eyes,

"Clam down Dawnmist! You're kit is almost here!"

Dawnmist huffed and puff and finally with all her might pushed hard as she can. And finally a small kit was on the floor, squealing for milk. Lillyflower turned around to face her apprentice AshPaw,

"AshPaw, bring me some moss so I can clean the kit."

AshPaw nodded once and quickly ran to the back of the medicine den to quickly gather up some wet moss. Dawnmist had her eyes closed and was breathing rapidly,

"Did I make it?" She asked uneasily. Whitepaw smiled,

"Yes mother, you made it."

WhitePaw let out a sigh of relief and slowly went closer to his mother,

"Mother, are you ok?"

Dawnmist nodded slowly, but still lay on the ground. Lillyflower looked at Ravenflight who was leaning against the den with annoyed eyes,

"Put her on the nest there, she needs some rest after all that."

Ravenflight slowly helped his mate up and helped her walk towards the nest filled with fresh soft moss to lay on top of. AshPaw came quickly with a paw full of moss in her mouth and put it next to Lillyflower, "Here's the moss!"

Lillyflower smiled, "Thank you AshPaw, you make me proud," she lifted up a piece of moss then began cleaning the new born kit. RainPaw finally woken up from her shock, "When will she open her eyes?"

Lillyflower turned to face the white apprentice, "Well…when the time comes RainPaw."

RainPaw narrowed her eyes, she heard that a thousand times but before she opened her mouth to argue her brother interrupted her, "She's really small."

As he said that he glanced quickly at his newborn sister, "I think she's one of the smallest kits I've ever seen! She's even smaller then Snowkit!"

Ravenflight chuckled, "Don't underestimate your sister like that WhitePaw, she might be stronger then you when she's a full grown warrior."

WhitePaw rolled his eyes then snickered, "Well, she'll have to train until she's an elder to beat me!"

RainPaw looked at her brother with a disappointed glare, "You seriously think you're that strong?"

"Oh come on RainPaw! I try the hardest out of BoltPaw, FoxPaw and you!"

"But I'm a better climber and hunter!" RainPaw hissed at her brother with her lip curled.

"Well, I'm a better fighter then you!"

WhitePaw shouted back at his older sister.

"Both of you behave! You two make me embarrassed already! How many times do I have to remind you two? Show respect in front of other cats! You two are apprentices, not kits anymore!" Ravenflight hissed down to his two kits.

WhitePaw mumbled, "We only turned apprentices a few moons ago…"

WhitePaw still remembered him getting his apprentice name, he was very excited that he finally became an apprentice but the fact that he now had a sister meant that there would be another cat to compete with to become the best warrior in the clan. His new born sister snapped him out from his thoughts as she whined for milk. AshPaw rolled her eyes and gently picked up the kit by the scruff of her neck and carried her gently to her sleepy mother.

"Would you want some poppy seeds to help you sleep?"

She asked before she turned her back to the female. Dawnmist shook her head, "No, I'll be fine…thank you AshPaw I am happy that we have such experienced medicine cats in out clan. The other clans should be jealous."

AshPaw blushed in embarrassment, "Oh well…I was just doing my job Dawnmist, a medicine cat should always help a cat in situations like this."

Ravenflight stood a distance away looking at his new born kit, he turned to his other kits, "Get out, EchoStar might need some help with the hunting," He turned around for the last time to see his mate and his new kit then vanished out from the den in silence. His other kits looked at each other once then finally scurried off to their father. Lillyflower looked down at Dawnmist, "You need anything else? It is almost new leaf…"

"And I sure am it's soon going to be new leaf…I am getting tired of all this snow and less prey. Many of our warriors were getting sick."

"I know, but we can't always have a happy life…a happy lazy life like those kitty pets have," Lillyflower hissed under her breathe, thinking of the lazy cats who would sleep and play around while they worked for survival.

Dawnmist looked down at her kit who was happily drinking some milk, "What do you think I should name her?"

Lillyflower looked down at the little kit, she was mostly black, but had a few stripes of grey and white, "I honestly don't know. But she sure if very pretty, she is blessed by Starclan to be born from such a powerful father and a beautiful mother."

Dawnmist looked up at the medicine cat, "Ravenflight's not really happy I noticed…"

Lillyflower thought of the big tom, he didn't really smiled at his new born kit at all, "He must be tired, he's been hunting all day and fought against Swiftclan a few days ago."

Dawnmist sigh, deep inside she knew the reason. Her mate wanted another son, a son that he could spend time, more time than he ever spent with WhitePaw. He wanted a son because he believed that toms were better then she cats. It was that simple, he loyal but he wanted himself to look powerful with more males in his family. Dawnmist brushed her tail against her kit gently as she felt her kit slowly falling to sleep. Lillyflower looked out from the medicine den with a quick glance and noticed the cold snow was still on top of the freezing ground, "It's very dark…a bit too dark for leaf bare."

"I know…it's like as if we're in the dark forest."

Lillyflower shuddered to think of the dark forest but noticed speaks of stars filling in the sky, "But there are a few stars up there. Just as usual, the stars lighten the darkness just like my mentor Bumblepelt said."

The medicine cat yawned as she curled up into her nest filled with twigs and moss and before she slept she whispered, "Goodnight Dawnmist."

Dawnmist closed her eyes and felt the warm body of her kit against her.

'Darkness…'

She thought to herself.

'The stars that brighten the darkness…'

She thought again as she cuddled herself closer to her kit.

'I wonder what she meant that the stars brighten the darkness…"

And with that Dawnmist slowly fell asleep.
