This story is about Starfoot. A cat currently living in Treeclan who ran away from her home. This is separate from the rest of the Demon Clan Series because it takes place before the events of the regular series. Anyway, enjoy.
Starkit woke to the yowls of a she-cat. Her eyes widen as the yowls became louder and more distressed. Her brother, Foxkit was already awake. He turned to Starkit as she got to her paws. "Moonlight's kits are coming," he announced from the entrance of the moss lined cave.
Starkit raced to the entrance and poked her head outside. The clan camp was surrounded on two sides by bramble. The other two sides were against a cliff face where all the dens were. A large log was in the center of the camp. Near the log all the cats of Duskclan were gathered. "Let's go over and see!" Starkit raced ahead of her brother. Since she was pretty small she walked under many of the warriors.
Soon Starkit was in the center of the cats. Moonlight, a black she-cat was lying on the ground, yowling her head off. The medicine cat Dashpelt, a kind gray tom was overlooking the birthing. Rosesky, the leader of Duskclan was standing nearby licking a newborn kit.
"Kits," spoke Gingertail padding over to the two kits. Gingertail was Starkit's and Foxkit's foster mother. They didn't know their real parents but Gingertail was enough for the young cats. "Isn't it great. You two are going to have playmates."
"What about Leafkit and Sandkit?" asked Foxkit. Leafkit and Sandkit were Gingetail's real kits.
"They will be apprentices by then," replied Gingertail, "Oh! Looks like Moonlight's done."
"Two healthy toms," announced Dashpelt.
Moonlight breathed deeply, "May I see them?" Dashpelt placed the two kits near Moonlight. She looked at them lovingly, "They will be named Smokekit and Mudkit."
"Are you sure about this?" asked Rosesky, "Can you give up your kits?"
Starkit didn't understand what was going on. What was Rosesky talking about? Giving up kits? "Moonlight is going to be the next deputy remember?" reminded Foxkit, "And she can't because she has kits. So she is giving the kits to Gingertail. Don't tell me you forgot."
"No," snapped Starkit, "I didn't forget!"
"Come on kits," whispered Gingertail. The queen led the way back to the nursery. Dashpelt and Moonlight followed her, each holding a kit in their jaws. Starkit and Foxkit followed close behind them. Starkit spotted Leafkit and Sandkit talking to Bluepaw and Cinderpaw. Starkit was jealous that they were going to become apprentices soon while she and Foxkit still had four moons to go. Starkit and Foxkit crawled into the nursery. Dashpelt and Moonlight placed the two kits in the crook off Gingertail's belly.
"Take good care of them," whispered Moonlight. She turned her golden eyes to Starkit and Foxkit. "You two. Be good to my kits."
"We will," Starkit promised.
Moonlight turned and left the nursery quickly. "I'll bring some borage later," offered Dashpelt before leaving.
"You two be quiet," whispered Gingertail.
Starkit sat down next to the kits and watched them, wondering if she was like that as a kit.
Well, that's the prologue! It will get better later on! Promise!
