Hi this is Moon! Yeah I changed my penname to my real name. You people already know anyway. If you read my profile, that is. This is the result of my Create a Cat story. I hope you enjoy it! I'll have the next chapter in a few days. I need inspiration moments.
~Prologue~
"Fallingsnow. Fallingsnow. Fallingsnow, wake up," whispered a black and brown tom to a fluffy white she-cat.
Fallingsnow opened her eyes groggily. "Rockfire? What is it?" she mewed as she turned to face her mate.
A white kit sleeping at her stomach softly mewled as Fallingsnow moved.
Rockfire whipped his tail over Fallingsnow's mouth. "Shh! Not so loudly," he whispered urgently.
Then, Fallingsnow suddenly remembered. "Are they here?" she asked quietly.
Her mate nodded and Fallingsnow's heart fell to her stomach. She didn't realize that it was going to be so soon!
She gazed down at her beloved kit. Her only kit. What if something went wrong?
Rockfire followed her gaze. "It's okay. We'll be back in no time. Remember, we're just helping Skytail and Firefang to where Minnie will be waiting with her housefolk. Rabbitkit won't even notice we're gone," he reassured her.
Fallingsnow tried to believe her mate but the thought of never being able to see Rabbitkit again was pushing the gentle words of Rockfire out of her mind.
"Okay. Skytail's probably nervous as a mouse right now. Let's go," she finally mewed, standing up from her nest and shaking moss off of her.
She exited the nursery. Fallingsnow cast a final glance behind of her and saw that Rabbitkit was sleeping on her back.
Chuckling, inwardly of course, she tore her gaze away and followed her waiting mate, unaware of the hateful amber eyes that belonged to a cat that had listened to the whole conversation.

Ripplekit stared after the two cats. Skytail? Firefang? Wasn't Firefang a RiverClan warrior? Meeting Minnie and her housefolk?
Ripplekit smiled. She knew what was going on. Rabbitkit's parents were helping a forbidden couple escape to the Twolegplace.
Her insides burned as she thought of Rabbitkit. Perfect, pretty, polite Rabbitkit. She was always the star attention of the nursery until she arrived a couple days ago.
Oh, it was always Rabbitkit this, and Rabbitkit that. Rabbitkit always got to be the leader of the Clan whenever they played KitClan. Never ever her! Ripplekit tore at the moss with her tiny claws angrily.
Ripplekit was always thinking of how to get revenge on that white furball. This was the perfect chance. Get her beloved parents shamed. If Rabbitkit's parents were shamed then maybe nobody would like Rabbitkit anymore.
With this happy thought inside of her, Ripplekit marched away from her mother, Cliffrunner. Luckily, she had no annoying siblings.
Fresh air cut through her nose as she stepped out of the crowded nursery. There were too many kits. Sweetkit, Nightkit, Copperkit, oh and so much more.
Ripplekit ran to the leader's den. Moonstar was gently sleeping.
"Ahem," she coughed. The leader didn't stir.
With a sigh, Ripplekit stomped over to Moonstar and placed a paw on her shoulder.
"Moonstar, Moonstar, Moonstar, Moonstar," she called loudly. The WindClan leader bolted up, sending Ripplekit tumbling to the ground.
"What? Who is it?" Moonstar meowed with alarm.
Ripplekit rolled her eyes. "Down here," she mewed. Moonstar looked down to see the tiny kit glaring at her.
"Oh, hi Ripplekit. What are you doing here?" asked Moonstar.
"I have important news. Fallingsnow and Rockfire are helping Skytail and a RiverClan warrior escape together," announced Ripplekit, pushing her head up with dignity.
Moonstar's eyes narrowed. "Fallingsnow and Rockfire you say?"
"Yes, they're headed towards the Twolegplace. I overheard them talking," meowed Ripplekit, pride shining in her eyes.
"Thank you for telling me this, Ripplekit. I'll send a patrol after them right now and I will lead that patrol," mewed Moonstar. "You may leave," she added when the kit didn't move.
"I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone that I was the one who told you about this. Rabbitkit would never play with me again!" wailed Ripplekit, making her eyes extra-large and cute.
Moonstar fell for it. "Of course. Now go back to the nursery, I'll handle this."
Ripplekit turned away from the leader and proudly padded out of her den with her tail and chin up high.
She crawled into the nursery. Ripplekit was tempted to stomp on Rabbitkit's fluffy tail but she resisted the urge and curled up next to her mother.
"Warriors of WindClan!" yowled out a voice. Moonstar.
All the kits were up, including Rabbitkit. Ripplekit watched with glee as the white kit looked around for her missing mother.
"Oh what does Moonstar want in the middle of the night?" groaned Cliffrunner as she stretched.
"I don't know but may I please go look?" asked Ripplekit sweetly.
"Of course sweetie," replied Cliffrunner.
However, instead of shooting out of the nursery, Ripplekit stayed, watching Rabbitkit. The little kit looked like she was about to cry.
Then Rabbitkit stumbled out of the nursery and that was when Ripplekit shot out, knocking the younger kit over.
Moonstar was standing on the Highrock and the whole Clan was gathered beneath it. "Warriors of WindClan! I have discovered that Fallingsnow and Rockfire are breaking the warrior code this very instant, by helping Skytail, yes our Skytail, escape with a RiverClan warrior!" she yowled angrily.
Ripplekit whipped her head around to see Rabbitkit's expression.
The white kit's face was mixed with shock, pain, and sadness. Ripplekit had never been happier in her short life.
"Skydive, Mint-tail, Sunclaw, Foxclaw, and Graysoot, you will come with me to catch these breakers of the code!" cried Moonstar and leapt off the Highrock.
Ripplekit smiled and smiled as the patrol exited the camp.

"Thank you so much," whispered a short haired white she-cat as Fallingsnow led her across the territory.
"No problem Skytail," replied Fallingsnow. Although, she wanted to help her friend, she just wanted to get this over with so she could go back to camp and continue sleeping with her kit.
"The gorge will come up pretty soon," called Rockfire from behind with Firefang.
The two toms were talking of leaders, deputies, and all that boring stuff. Fallingsnow rolled her eyes. Toms. How could they find such boring things interesting?
"You there! Stop!" screeched an angry voice. Definitely, not Rockfire or Firefang.
Rockfire and Firefang zipped past. "A WindClan patrol!" yowled Rockfire. "Run!"
Fallingsnow immediately obeyed along with Skytail. She could hear the patrol coming closer.
"Watch out the gorge is coming!" screeched Rockfire.
The patrol was at Fallingsnow's heels now. Panic gripped at her heart and she ran even faster.
Moonlight dipped into the deep gorge. She saw her mate and Firefang clear the gorge.
Bunching up her leg muscles, Fallingsnow jumped. For a moment, she was flying through the air. Then, she landed safely on the other side.
Skytail was still on the side with the patrol. The panicked she-cat jumped but it was a weak jump. Then, Foxclaw gave a ferocious snarl with gripped the she-cat with his claws.
"Skytail! No!" screeched Firefang from beside Fallingsnow.
Fallingsnow watched in horror as Skytail and Foxclaw fell, into the river with a splash. It was too dark but Fallingsnow knew that the two cats couldn't have survived.
"Foxclaw!" yowled Moonstar. There was no response and the WindClan leader glared at the three cats on the other side.
"You are exiled from WindClan for murdering your own Clanmate and helping a cat from another Clan! If you dare return, you will be chased off or attacked!" she hissed.
Fallingsnow gasped. What about Rabbitkit? No! Her kit!
"What about Rabbitkit?" she yowled over to Moonstar.
"She'll stay in WindClan. You're not allowed to visit her either," growled Moonstar.
Fallingsnow's heart felt like it was hit with a monster. Never see her kit again? No this was a dream. When she woke up Rabbitkit would be curled up right next to her. Yes, this was all a dream.
"Come on Fallingsnow," mewed Rockfire softly. Numb, with the shock of the news, Fallingsnow allowed herself to be led away.
"I'm so sorry," murmured Firefang. "I got you exiled out of your own Clan and lost your kit."
"I'm sorry about your loss of Skytail also," replied Rockfire. His eyes were glazed with pain.
A wave of darkness, darker than night, threatened to engulf Fallingsnow.
Rockfire seemed to notice. "I'll take Firefang to Minnie. You stay here and rest," he meowed.
Fallingsnow nodded and lay down beneath a bush. A tear escaped from her eye and as she drifted into the darkness, a single word came out of her mouth.
"Rabbitkit…"
Wow that was more of a chapter than a prologue but too bad. I know this chapter was mostly my OCs but starting with the next few chapters, I will have the main characters coming out. This part was basically to explain Rabbitkit and Ripplekit's beginning. I hope you liked it.
Review!
