Prologue:

I woke to light and warmth, cuddled between my mother and brothers. I knew nothing about the world's harshness. But it would soon strike me, an innocent kit.

It all started on my seventh moon. There was a terrible battle, one of the worst my Clan could remember. Many cats died that way, including one that I was close to. I was nearly destroyed by that cat's death, more so because I was blamed for it. I was close enough to save the cat, others said.

The guilt lay heavily on me for many moons, for I believed the same. But the cat visited me and reassured me that it was not my fault, so the weight was lifted.

But I was hated, scorned, betrayed. I hardly had anyone, my heart froze. I was cold, unemotional. Until I saw him for the first time. I found myself falling, my heart thawing.

But he never saw me, never talked to me, he was all for another, and then he chose her over me. I was broken, but I forced an icy demeanor.

More tragedy happened as I grew older, but none of it affected me. Until I met one other. He fell for me, and I for him. He bore my sharp tongue, thin patience, and quick temper with loving kindness. Others liked him, of course, and one me, but we had eyes only for each other.

We had a family, but then he died. I nearly died myself, his death and wounds nearly killed me. For moons I was secluded, healing. By the time I was better, physically, all the ones I was close to except one had died.

Amazingly, I was chosen to tread the highest path not too long after. I fought bravely, led loyally, and died honorably.

I showed the ones who said I didn't belong, that I should die, that I was too weak. I left them all below, and rose to the highest.

This is my story

This is my first fanfic so please don't flame. Constructive criticism is welcome, though!

I get writers block a lot so you have permission to yell at me to update or even give me a couple ideas through either a review or a PM. Thank you!
