Chapter One, sorry that it's written like you should know all of the cats. There was a story before this, but I'm not going to post it because its very confusing if you hadnt read the story before that one. (this is technically the third story.)

The cats that are very important in the previous stories are Rippedclaw (main character in the first story), Dapplestar, (main character in the second story), and cougarstar (evil Dark Forest cat who is gone now, but will be mentioned a lot in the story)

I will be posting the cat's info in the next chapter. Toodles!

Disclaimer: I do not own the warriors series. But I do own the characters in this story except for Shadowstar, Riverstar, Windstar, and Thunderstar.

Ravenkit sat completely still and looked up at his mother in awe as she told the story of how his father had saved all the clans. It was a story that he had heard before, but every time he heard it it changed ever so slightly, making it more and more magical. Shimmerkit, Hailkit, and Rosekit sat around him. They were the older kits in the nursery, four moons older than him. Shadow-eye, their mother, lay sprawled out on the ground, watching Ravenkit's mother with a tired, yet fascinated look on her face.

"Then Cougarstar's claws came towards Oceanmist, but he was ready for it. He jumped and gave him the final blow that ended the entire battle. If it weren't for him, then my father wouldn't have been able to save me and I wouldn't be here right now, and nobody else would either." Lillypetal trailed off and then smiled, immersed in her memories.

Ravenkit laughed out loud and jumped up in the air. "I'm gonna be just like my daddy when I grow up!" He exclaimed. Lillypetal looked down at her son lovingly while shadow-eye chuckled and curled up in to a ball tiredly.

The largest of Shadow-eye's kits, Hailkit, laughed and said, "Yeah right, like you're ever going to amount to anything. You weren't even his favorite kitten, you didn't even know him!" Rosekit and Shimmerkit giggled.

Ravenkit smiled at the older kits and said in a friendly tone, "Oh come on Hailkit, I'm an only kit, remember? I don't have any other siblings that could possibly be 'better' than me." At that moment Quailfeather's head popped in to the nursery, she gestured for Lillypetal to follow her out. Ravenkit's mother stood up and left the den, stepping gingerly over Rosekit, who happened to be standing in front of the entrance.

Hailkit scoffed, mildly annoyed, "I was his favorite kitten, he told me many times. He said I would always be his favorite kitten, and I still am since he died before anyone even knew you existed…" Shimmerkit fell over and rolled on the ground, laughing hysterically. Rosekit's attention quickly switched from Hailkit's joke, to her sister who was— by now —about to pass out from laughter.

Ravenkit's ears drooped sadly and he looked down at the ground in disappointment. Hailkit stopped laughing and let his ears droop as well as he apologized, "Sorry Ravenkit, I didn't think it would make you sad."

Ravenkit kept staring down at the ground sadly, his amber eyes were fixed on the mossy ground. Shadow-eye let out a soft snore and covered her face with her paw. Shimmerkit rolled her eyes and said to Hailkit, "Its not your fault that he's a cry baby!" Rosekit smiled at her sister happily.

Hailkit snickered but said nothing. Ravenkit straightened up and replied angrily, "I'm not a cry baby! You are!" Shimmerkit gasped and looked at her brother expectantly. Hailkit stood up and walked over to Ravenkit until he was standing over him, looking down at the younger kit threateningly. Ravenkit stood his ground and looked up at Hailkit.

"Come on baby, attack me." He challenged.

Ravenkit looked up at him in confusion and asked, "Why?"

Hailkit laughed and then dropped in to a hunter's crouch and said in an almost playful voice, "To see who's a better fighter, of course!"

Again, Ravenkit was confused, but he said nothing for fear of being yelled at again. He hated it when other cats were mad at him, it made him feel like mouse dung. Why would I fight him? He's part of my clan… Ravenkit thought.

Hailkit sat down and rolled his eyes, "We're not actually fighting. it's a play fight, for fun." Ravenkit stared at him for a few more seconds and then shook his head. How is fighting fun? I don't get it. He thought.

Then Hailkit realized that it was completely pointless to try to reason with the one moon old kit, so he and Rosekit left poor Ravenkit alone in the nursery. After a few seconds of trying to occupy himself he quickly gave up and left the den in search of something to do.

It had been seven moons since the great battle between Starclan and the Dark Forest. So many things had changed, but Ravenkit didn't notice anything. He had been born in the new place. It was the same for Shadow-eye's kits, although they wouldn't admit it.

The most obvious change was that they had moved their camp to escape from the deadly sickness that had taken over the medicine cat's den. The camp was now closer to the Windclan border instead of the Thunderclan border. The announcements were held at a different tree, it was about the same size as the old star tree, but there was no hollow in the tree, so Dapplestar slept in a nest that the clan had created in the twisted roots of the tree.

The camp was a lot smaller than the old camp, and the dens were much more cramped. The warriors den was underneath a very tall pine tree that gave excellent cover during the winter, the nursery was in an abandoned fox hole right next to it. The apprentices and elders den were both located on either side of a very wide, thorny bush. The medicine cat's den wasn't much of a den, but an open spot between three large boulders that the clan had pushed together.

Ravenkit sat down in the middle of the camp and watched the rest of the cats curiously. Dapplestar was laying on her back in her nest, with her paws laid gently on her stomach. Goldenheart was telling Quailfeather, Darksun, and Diamondshine to go on the dusk patrol with him. Rootcloud was arguing with Lunarleaf over who was taller, typical adults. While Shimmerkit, Hailkit, and Rosekit threw a moss ball back and forth on top of the medicine boulders.

Ravenkit frowned in annoyance and walked back in to the Nursery and curled up in to a lonely little ball about a tail length away from Shadow-eye. As he was going to sleep he thought, I wish my mother was here right now, she's the only one that cares about me.
