I do not own warriors! If I did I would bring back Shrewpaw, kill Nightcloud, and let Jaypaw see and become a warrior!

Half-Clan

Prologue

The night was still. There was a slight breeze over Windclan but nothing out of the ordinary. Two queens laid in the nursery both expecting kits. The light tabby stirred, her sleep was filled with nightmares. In her dream she saw cats from her own clan hissing at her and trying to claw her, she ran as fast as her legs would take her, but she couldn't escape their chants. "Half-clan kits!" they cried "Worthless, useless, meaningless!" they screeched. The she-cat stopped and yowled "Let me leave this nightmare!"

The tabby woke feeling pains in her stomach, she yowled "Kestrelwind! Barkface! My kits are coming!" A pale ginger tom and a brown tom came rushing when another wail sounded "My kits are coming!" a pale gray she-cat called. "Kestrelwind" Barkface ordered "Go help Harecloud!" Liontooth will be proud of these kits the queen told herself just because they're half-clan doesn't mean there worthless!

The queen cried as a kit came into the world. It was a ginger tom, he was born dead. "It's okay Heatherwing" the old brown medicine cat mewed as Heatherwing cried "He's dead oh he's dead! The queen pushed harder and a light tabby she-cat was born she was dead too. The she-cat yowled "Will none of them live!" just then a third she-cat was born she was a tiny dark brown tabby she-cat with amber eyes "Her father's eyes" she whispered to herself. Heatherwing took her tail and brushed it over her only kit "Talonkit" she whispered.

"Harecloud has given birth to a she-cat and a tom!" Kestrelwind cried "Her first two were born dead though" he hung his head low. The two medicine cats slowly padded out of the nursery. Heatherwing looked over at a scared looking Harecloud. Harecloud was Heatherwing's best friend since she had saved her from falling off a cliff while trying to catch a rabbit, she was the only other cat who knew that her kits where half-clan, but then again so where Harecloud's. When the she-cats where apprentices Harecloud fell in love with a Riverclan tom named Pebblepaw, now Pebblestream. "Heatherwing" the gray she-cat mewed "I think we should tell the clan about our kits" Heatherwing looked distant most of the clan already knew about the treachery "Most of the clan knows" she sighed "But we will tell them anyways" Heatherwing looked over at Harecloud "Let's not think of the future we will worry about that later" she purred "What have you named your kits?" Harecloud purred "The dark gray she-cat with a white paw is Smokekit and the big gray tabby tom is Ripplekit. What is your little tabby kits name?" Heatherwing purred "Her name is Talonkit" "That's a good name" Harecloud mewed "It fits her." The pale gray she-cat sighed, "Good night Heatherwing" "Good night Harecloud." Heatherwing looked out of the nursery what lay in store for her little half-clan daughter?
