Hello everyone. This is my first truly original FanFic.
Thanks to everyone at Into the Elements (See My Profile) for letting me use some of their warrior names.
If anyone has objections to any names I use please let me know. I may have picked some up from other stories and don't remember. I kinda stink at maiking up truly original ones.
Now enjoy Eclipse: The Fallen Star
The small kit raised her head and mewed sadly. She pressed herself tightly against her mother's cold pelt. What had happened? They were supposed to be safe in this forest! She looked up at the dark sky and squinted at the black circle rimmed with fire. Why had the sun suddenly vanished?
A crackling in the brush nearby sent alarm pulsing through the white kit's heart. What if more of the evil cats were still around? Suddenly the woods were filled with light once more and she had to squint as the small golden tom approached.
"Sunpaw!" she yowled and raced over to bury herself in his fur. He had stopped and stared at the dead she-cat only a few fox-lengths away.
"What happened?" he finally managed to say.
"Those strange cats! They killed mum!" she mumbled as she drew herself closer. Sunpaw looked down at his shivering younger sister. He had hoped that she and their mother, Mapleleaf, would have been alright since they both weren't in the camp. He froze as she looked up at him with her big blue eyes and asked the one question he didn't want to answer. "Can we go home?"
"Moonkit, camp is gone..." Sunpaw said as he turned his amber gaze elsewhere. "There's no one left..."
Moonkit's gaze grew wide and she took a step back. "No. No."
"I'm sorry Moonkit. There was nothing any of us could do. They came out of nowhere and there were so many of them..." He turned back to her. "EarthClan is gone."
"Then we have to go." Moonkit said. Her voice was cool and collected, so unlike what Sunpaw had expected. "We have to go and tell others what happened here. We have to make sure it never happens again."
Sunpaw couldn't word what he wanted to say to his sister, to reasure her that it wasn't going to happen again. He mearly nodded and walked over to his mother's body. He lifted the empty shell onto his back and padded back to the ruined camp. For a moon the two siblings stayed there, burying the bodies and paying their respects. They left once the moon was full once more. Their pelts glowing in the light the two cats passed over a small rise and never looked back.
