I was watching Animal Cops: Houston when I saw this story about a little kitten trapped in a drain pipe. I thought I'd make a oneshot about it. You know, turn it into the prologue for a future story of mine.

No POV

Honeywish watched her kits play in camp. Sunlight streamed through the trees, making a beautiful pattern on the forest floor. Fernkit was being good as usual, Foxkit wasn't being good as usual, and Flowerkit was- wait. Where WAS Flowerkit? She got up immediately and ran over to a black cat with orange eyes, who was enjoying a squirrel.

"Nightblaze, have you seen Flowerkit?" She asked her mate frantically.

"No. Maybe she's playing hide-and-seek with the other kits." He shrugged before returning to his food.

"They're not. What if she left camp?"
"It's alright, Honeywish. I'll send a patrol out." Nightblaze leaped onto the Highstone.

"Copperlight, Lichencloud, Dewbreeze and I are going on patrol." Confused murmurs rippled across the camp. It wasn't time for a patrol yet! "My daughter has run off, and I intend to find her."

Flowerkit's POV

Ha! I'll show Foxkit! I'll bring back the biggest mouse he's ever seen! I mean, how hard can it be, anyway? I thought as I padded along. Eww, what's that smell? I went toward it and saw a stretch of hard, black, ground. I ran out to investigate when a giant thing bolted past me.

"EEK! A MONSTER!" I yowled before losing my balance. I fell backwards into a hole in the black ground.

"Hello? Is anyone there? Someone help me!" The birds stopped singing. It got really cold. Everything got dimmer until there was only darkness. Mommy, daddy…help me.

Copperlight's ears perked up.

"Did you guys hear that?"

"No, did you?" Dewbreeze asked Lichencloud, who rolled her eyes.

"Of course not! Only cats with ears as ridiculously large as Copperlight's can hear the things that he can."

"Hey! My ears are NOT ridiculously large! And anyway, I think I heard Flowerkit!" He darted off to the Thunderpath, followed by Nightblaze, Lichencloud, and Dewbreeze. But when they got there, it was too late. They saw twolegs carrying Flowerkit into a monster.

"NO!" Nightblaze cried in anguish. He ran out to the monster and tried to stop the twolegs, but they simply picked him up and put him in the monster, too. The clan mourned for the lost cats that night, but no one more than Foxkit. "If I hadn't dared her to catch some prey, this wouldn't have happened." He thought.

Flowerkit's POV

I woke up to find myself in a cage. Something tells me it's going to be a while before I get my apprentice name.

"Thank Starclan, you're awake!" I spun around to find dad. What's he doing here?

"Don't ask." He said, as if reading my thoughts. "But it's going to be okay."

"But what if-"

"Trust me. We'll get back somehow, someday."
