Hello, and welcome to the rewrite of Winged Wonder! Some things are going to change Like instead of calling Half Moon Moonshine, I called her Moonfrost, because Moonshine is a type of illegal alcohol in real life. And Jayfeather isn't going to be blind in this story, because I need him to be able to see for stuff later on. There'll be other changes too, ones that I am not too sure about right now though.

So sit back, and enjoy! :)

Prologue

Jayfeather gasped and jerked awake. He had dreamed about Moonfrost, the rogue that appeared in Thunderclan territory, asking to be a part of their clan only half a moon ago.

Jayfeather stood up from his nest and shook his fur, sending bits of moss flying. He hurriedly shoved them into a pile near his destroyed nest, planning on disposing them later. Then he stalked out of the medicine cat den, nodding to Briarlight who was sorting some herbs. He practically bumped into Moonfrost, who was just coming into the den. She opened her mouth to say something, but Jayfeather interrupted her.

"Come with me," he mewed quickly and padded out of camp. He walked a little ways away from the entrance to the camp, on the well-worn path, then turned and pushed his way through some bushes to a tiny clearing.

He sat down, Moonfrost across from him.

"I'd like to speak to you... Half Moon." Jayfeather stared at the reincarnation of the cat he once loved, and still did.

Moonfrost's eyes were wide. "Does anyone else know?" she asked worriedly.

Jayfeather shook his head, looking at the trees behind the pretty white she-cat. "I'm pretty sure I'm the only who knows." He looked at her, admiring her soft white pelt. "I kept having dreams about you, Moonfrost, and then dreams about Half Moon. You looked so alike, and I just figured it out."

"I couldn't bear life in The Tribe of Endless Hunting without you, Jayfeather," Moonfrost confessed, her beautiful dark green eyes filled with love and sadness. "I felt so lonely... I missed you so much!"

"Me too," Jayfeather whispered. "Now we can finally be together."


"You'll be okay," Jayfeather mewed to the queen, "Just keep breathing."

Keep breathing, he told himself, Moonfrost needs a helpful medicine cat.

"It hurts so much!" Moonfrost moaned and bit into the stick as the first kit slithered out into the nest. It was a white she-cat, and it mewed piteously as Daisy licked its fur the wrong way to warm it up.

Moonfrost barely had time to admire the tiny bundle of fur, for the next contraction hit, and she bit down on the stick as a second kit slid into the nest and Daisy mewed, "It's a gray tabby she-cat."

The stick cracked in two as the final kit was born, a gray she-cat.

The three kits started to suckle their mothers milk.

Jayfeather admired his new kits. He was about to compliment the gray tabby's fur whose stripes almost looked like waves, when Daisy suddenly gasped. "The white she-kit, it's not moving!"

Jayfeather snapped into action, checking the tiny kit's pulse and trying to figure out why she wasn't moving.

The tiny she-cat shuddered, gave one last breath, and was still.

Moonfrost's wail of grief echoed throughout the entire camp, awakening any cat that was already asleep. There was a loud clap of thunder and soon rain could be heard pattering on the roof of the den.

"Goodbye, my little Whitekit," Moonfrost whispered sadly, naming her kit in honor of her brilliant white coat. Then she looked at her two living kits, the gray tabby and the gray she-cat. "Ripplekit for the gray tabby she-cat," she mewed quietly, "Because of her fur; it looks like waves." She looked at the gray she-cat, and then mewed in a low and hollow voice: "Graykit for other one."

Moonfrost curled up in a ball, her long fluffy tail wrapped protectively around her two surviving kits, and sighed. She slowly ate the herbs that Jayfeather pushed towards her, then put her head on her front paws, closing her grief-filled eyes.

"Welcome to Thunderclan, Ripplekit and Graykit," Jayfeather mewed softly, restraining himself from going over and comforting his mate.

"If you need anything, send Daisy to the medicine den," Jayfeather continued. He took one last look at his two kits, then gently bent his head to pick up Whitekit's body. He turned around and padded outside, immediately getting drenched with rain. He motioned for Daisy to get some moss so he could put the dead kit on the moss instead of on the wet, muddy ground where her pelt could get dirty. Then he settled down on the ground, not caring if his fur got dirty. And then he closed his eyes and thought about his new family.

Overhead, a new star shone brightly in the sky.


After the vigil, Jayfeather padded into the medicine den. He was exhausted. He just wanted to flop into his nest and sleep for the next half moon.

But before he'd even closed his eyes, Briarlight spoke up. "How was it?" she asked excitedly, amber eyes shining with excitement.

"Fine," Jayfeather grunted, closing his eyes.

Clearly, that wasn't enough for Briarlight. She dragged herself over to him and shoved her face into his. "How many kits were there? What were their names?"

Jayfeather opened one eye to glare at her.

"Fine, don't tell me," Briarlight grumbled, turning around and dragging herself to her nest.

Jayfeather sighed and rolled his eyes. Typical Briarlight, he thought to himself.

"There were three kits," he mewed.

"There were three kits?" Briarlight asked, looking at him from her nest.

"Yes... Whitekit didn't make it." It pained him to think of his dead daughter.

"That's not good, Briarlight mewed softly. Then she perked up. "What about the other kits?"

"Ripplekit is a gray tabby she-cat with stripes that almost seem like waves, hence the name Ripplekit. And Graykit is a gray she-cat," he finished.

Briarlight said nothing, just stared at him.

"What?" he hissed defensively.

"They're your kits, aren't they?" Briarlight mewed

Jayfeather snorted. "They're not my kits. I'm a medicine cat, for StarClan's sake! That would mean that I broke the medicine cat code!"

"But they are yours."

Jayfeather looked at her. "Promise me you won't tell anyone?"

"I promise," Briarlight mewed solemnly.

Jayfeather told her everything. Almost everything. He told her about going back to the time when there were other cats at the lake. He also told her how he became Jay Wing, and travelled with them to the mountains.

"And Moonfrost," he mewed, his voice low, "Is actually a reincarnation of Half Moon."

"The cat that you loved!" Briarlight exclaimed.

"Yes," Jayfeather mewed, curling up in a ball and going to sleep.


"I'm sorry Starclan!" Jayfeather howled his grief to the sky. He was far away from camp, and it was pouring rain. Moonfrost had woken up to find her daughter dead. Jayfeather's daughter was dead.

"I'm sorry," he whispered and hung his head.

"Jayfeather?" The shocked mew startled Jayfeather and he whirled around. Leafpool was standing in between two trees, a concerned expression on her face.

He didn't want to lie to his mother, however much he hated her.

"They stole my kits," he whispered, bowing his head in grief.

Leafpool gasped. "Those are-?" she didn't finish.

"They are mine and Half Moon's kits," he mewed, turning away from Leafpool.

"Half Moon?"

So Jayfeather told her the same thing that he told Briarlight.

"Please don't tell anyone," he begged when he was finished.

"I won't," Leafpool promised, looking down at the ground. Then she looked up again.

"You won't regret it, Jayfeather," she mewed softly and slowly padded away.

Leafpool's mind was a whirl of thoughts. Sadness, happiness, anger. Anger? Jayfeather pushed further into her mind.

My son is doing the exact same thing that I did! How could I let this happen?! I know he won't regret it, but when Graykit finds out, she will be devastated!

"No," Jayfeather yelled loudly, "No, I won't regret it one little bit!"

Well, there you have it. The first chapter of the rewrite. Believe me, I didn't think I would change it as much as I did, but hey, when you reread something that you wrote almost a year ago, you realize how bad it was XD. Anyways, I hope you review and enjoy! I'll update soon!

Bye for now,

Stormy
