IMPORTANT: I stopped Starkit because I didn't have anywhere to go with that story but I fully planed out this one to take its place so I promise it won't end...swear by StarClan! So most of the ALLEGIANCES are the same from my Starkit story if anyone read that! (Except of course the main characters) If your worried I'll end a story and want to keep it going then review because Ivystar, Duskwater and Snowtuft both have at least over thirty reviews and I'll be continuing them because I have support. Also this story because I have the first ten chapters written! And in my opinion there good and so yeah! The reason I stop certain stories is A: I get a writers block B: I don't have many readers C: The story is boring for me to write. Also please check out my joint story with OnceInABlueSun its on her account and its called Warriors: Stars Dawn there is also a sequel we are currently working on called Warriors: Fading Moon but enough with me rambling please enjoy...

Prologue
A cool breeze ruffles a silver tabby's fur making it look like waves in a lake. The silver tabby is staring down at the hoards of cats below her, her blue eyes narrowed and her ears pricked.
"Your report, Shinningstar?" a large russet tom asks his amber eyes turned on the silver she-cat. Shinningstar smiles sweetly at him though she feels like slashing her claws across his muzzle.
"Russetstar are you sure Brackenstar and Clawstar have no interest in reporting first?" she asks glancing at the brown tom and the black and white tom behind her. SunClan's leader, Brackenstar narrows his eyes at Shinningstar while StormClan's leader Clawstar looks confused. HailClan's leader, Russetstar is watching Shinningstar intently his gaze boring into her neck making it feel hot.
"May I ask why you don't want to report? Is RainClan really so boring you have nothing important to say? Or is it just because your apprentices aren't skilled enough to become warriors?" Russetstar sneers, Shinningstar fluffs out her fur and she growls as murmurs of amusement travel from the cats below. She forces herself to stay calm,
"Of course RainClan has important stuff to say I am simply being polite." Shinningstar explains, seeming convinced Clawstar pads forward nodding to Shinningstar.
"The prey in StormClan has been plentiful and I'm happy to report, Tigerpaw, Vinepaw and Windpaw have become warriors taking the names. Tigerstripe, Vinewillow and Windtail!" he yowls, all four Clans break out in cheer. Shinningstar digs her claws into the grassy mound the leaders report from when she spots the three newly named warriors puffing out their chest and raising their chins. As though they've been made leader! Shinningstar thinks with disgust. Brackenstar pads forward as Clawstar steps back.
"SunClan has also been well, we are all fully fed and thriving. Quickpetal recently gave birth to Midnightfur's kits. Their names are Cherrykit, Moonkit and Icekit!" Brackenstar announces, murmurs of happiness ripple through the cats below. Kits are always a good thing...Shinningstar thinks softly before shaking her head. No! No! No! Kits become warriors they will destroy you! You must kill them first! A strange urge rushes through Shinningstar making her feel angery and confused. Who said that? She wonders, suddenly the feelings back and a faint shadow is padding towards her. No other cats seem fazed, huh? The cat vanishes and the same odd voice floods into her mind. Kill, kill, kill!
"Shinningstar?" Shinningstar's thoughts snap at the sound of her deputy's voice, Cinderleaf is staring up at her leader looking scared.
"Sorry? What?" Shinningstar mutters, Russetstar rolls his eyes.
"Honestly Shinningstar pay attention. Its time for your report," he smirks. Shinningstar ignores him padding forward, suddenly the feeling is back and Shinningstar feels the urge to spring into battle. And so she does,
"PREY STEALERS!" she yowls pouncing from the grassy mound. Where did that come from? She wonders, none of her patrols have scented any cats from any Clans on their territory. Still Shinningstar slashes out at any cat that comes near her, biting necks and slashing open flanks. No cat tries to stop her, scaredy mouses! She jeers racing towards an old brown furred elder, she bites his tail.
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF STARCLAN?" he yowls turning on her, but he's to old and frail to do anything and Shinningstar easily eliminates him.
Finally her rage and life comes to an end as Russetstar leaps from the bushes. Pinning StormClan's leader to the sandy clearing he digs his claws into her soft underbelly.
"What was the meaning of that?" she spats, Shinningstar gasps.
"Revenge," she rasps before lying still. Russetstar's eyes widen, the voice that came from Shinningstar's mouth was not her own. It was an angry desperate voice, shaking out his fur HailClan's leader gets to his paws. Gazing up at the dark sky above him.
"That was a sign, we must never trust she-cats again. They shall never lead a Clan, they'd only bring destruction. The right place for a she-cat is a medicine cat or queen, possible a warrior though not an important one. I think we must add a new rule to the warrior code! All Clan leaders and deputies must be toms!" Russetstar announces, ripples of shock pass through the Clans but no one objects. Not after Shinningstar's outburst,
"That's a fine idea, Russetstar. After all you me and Clawstar are all toms," Brackenstar meows. Russetstar dips his head to SunClan's leader.
"I am sure this was a sign." Russetstar meows his voice carrying in the wind.
"And that my littleones is why she-cats can and will never be leaders." Cedartooth finishes, Whitekit stares at him in awe her white fur bristling.
"But that's not fair! Why should we be treated like fox-dung?" she growls, her mother Silverbird swipes her tail over her daughters mouth.
"Watch your language little one," she whispers, adding. "She-cats are meant to bore kits and raise new warriors, to heal their Clanmates as medicine cats. When you begin your training you'll learn medicine skills,"
"But I don't want to be a medicine cat! I want to be a warrior!" Whitekit whines, Silverbird sighs.
"You will be a warrior, just not an important one...she-cats are never important warriors but don't think because of that we have no skill. No pride, we do its just that we'd rather let the toms do the work." she explains, Whitekit glares angrily across the camp towards where her brother, Blackkit is tussling with their denmate Thrushkit. That's not fair! Why can't I be a tom? She flicks her tail crossly,
"Mom. Your wrong, we wouldn't rather let the toms do the work. It's because were forced, considered weak, you know I'm right but you won't admit it. Your to afraid of breaking the warrior code!" Whitekit spats, Silverbird's eyes widen and she manages a faint smile.
"The warrior code is everything my little one. Always obey it, but you are right Whitekit. If she-cats could be leaders I'm sure you'd be one but-" she breaks off her gaze flicking towards her son, Whitekit's brother. Blackkit. Whitekit growls, she knows what her mother was going to say. But Blackkit will make a better leader...growling Whitekit stomps across camp. That's all everyone's been talking about these days! How Blackkit will one day become leader! But not if I can help it!
