Prologue
"Help me" The cry spit the quiet morning air I whipped my head around looking for the cat that was in trouble. Nothing. I crossed the stream onto the sunning rocks … still nothing. Then as I looked behind one of the rocks a cat jumped out. He snarled "Oh hello Streamfeather." His claws slid out. "How nice to see you. How is RiverClan?" I growled back "Just because I rejected being your mate doesn't mean you have to hate me." He smiled devilishly. "I could never hate the leaders MATE." I got nervous as his eyes lowered away from mine. I hissed "I fell in love with Rockstar, Stoneheart. I am expecting his kits." His handsome smile faded and he hissed "I am the deputy now Streamfeather, I can fake stolen prey, attack, and kill your precious mate." I writhed around trying to free myself, then hissed "Stoneheart my clan will demolish yours if you kill me now." His claws sheathed and he stepped away, his smooth purr filled my ears "This wont be the last you see of me Streamfeather."
"I am proud to announce that me and Streamfeather are expecting kits" The four clans cheered my name I looked at Rockheart and met his cold glare. Rockstar started to continue after the cheers died down. "Prey is running well and RiverClan is strong" The rest of the gathering dragged along. Thunderclan was being very hostile and talking of stolen prey, but we paid no attention.
The kits were named after certain things the oldest Clawkit after her long claws, the middle kit Stormkit after his storm of attitude, and the youngest Bluekit after her blue colored fur.
But then ThunderClan attacked yowling words of stolen prey and border crossings. I spotted Stoneheart, his usually handsome eyes glittered with rage. He looked at me and rushed towards me Clawkit hid under my chest, he picked up Bluekit and said to me "Since you betrayed me I am taking your youngest and killing the oldest." Stoneheart threw Bluekit to Pinestar, I yowled "Bluekit no! never forget what they did to you. I love you Bluekit." I yowled until Bluekit was out of sight. Stoneheart looked at me, I then realized he had no idea about Clawkit hiding under me. He moved Stormkit towards him my heart splitting in 2 as I watched. I tried to lunge for my kit but Stoneheart only threatened to kill us both, I thought Clawkit has to live.
Time seemed to stretch as he raised his paw to kill my kit I heard my loving mate yowl to StarClan "As my son faces death I now and forever name Stormkit Stormpelt, I love you my son." Then the paw came down I heard my kits sheik cut off short.
The battle raged on, Clawkit squirmed and once no one was looking I ran. I heard someone running behind me, but he was cut off by Rockstar I reached the border of ShadowClan. I whispered to Clawkit "Remember me my beautiful kit, I love you."
As I hid a queen named Serpentstrike padded up she wondered aloud. "I wonder what her name is." I whispered. "Clawkit" The queen said "I will raise her as my own."
