Cobwebs and Moonshine

Prologue

Princess jerked out of her sleep, her breath coming in short gasps, chest heaving. That was the fifth time she'd had that dream this moon. She shivered, remembering the old tom's scarred grey face and the ominous ring in his voice.

After a few moments she recovered enough to sit up and smooth down her ruffled fur. As she washed, her mind wandered again to her recurring dream. She still remembered some of the things that her brother told her when he still lived in the forest near her home., and now her most vivid memory was of him telling her about dreams. Not just any dreams, but dreams from StarClan, the warriors long gone who lived in the sky and could be seen in silver pelt. Dreams that foretold of terrible things, warning the clans of coming dangers, or dreams that could guide clan leaders through difficult times.

Princess didn't used to believe in those stories. As much as she respected her brother, she could get her mind around the idea of heavenly cats watching over the clans. During the day, when she was curled up in her favorite sunning spot, or eating the food her humans gave her, she could easily dismiss the tales as nothing more than silliness made up by the clans. Lately though, especially at night, she found it harder and harder to ignore the nagging feeling that those stories were very, very real.

The tabby she-cat gave her head a shake, making a small noise of irritation in the back of her throat. " Cobwebs and Moonshine, that's all it is," she muttered under her breath. She was being silly again. She seemed to be that more and more lately. She'd taken to sitting on her fence at night, looking out into what used to be the forest where her brother had lived. The feel of her humans' hands on her back irritated her, her collar made her neck itch, and she found her food less satisfying than usual.

Suddenly, something small and fuzzy crashed into her side. Startled, Princess leaped to her paw and hissed. Her four kits froze in the middle of their game. She looked down. A little fuzzy ball, a human toy that her kits liked to play with. She relaxed, embarrassed at her outburst, and gave Twilight, her biggest, a swift lick on the head. Relieved, her one moon old litter resumed their game.

Princess sat back down in her bed, giving her white chest a swift lick, trying to calm herself. She had been so jumpy lately, especially around her kits. But her dream… every time she saw her kits, she thought of her dream. Because she had the awful feeling that her dream was a prophecy, and that it was about her kits.

Once again, she recalled the toms piercing blue eyes, the unfamiliar cave walls, her brother, Firestar. Once again, his words echoed in her head.

There will be three,

kin of your kin,

who hold the power of the stars in their paws.

________________________________________________________________________

I'm not sure where I got this idea, but it's been in my head for a long time, and I've finally got it down! After all, this could have happened. They would be kin of his kin.

Here are the main characters:

Princess- brown tabby she-cat with white chest and paws. Amber eyes.

Twilight- dark grey tabby tom with blue eyes.

Moon- white she-cat with one blue eye and one green eye.

Thorn- brown tom with amber eyes.

Sky- grey she-cat with white chest and paws. Blue eyes.

Oh, and if you're waiting for my other story, DarkClan: Into the Light….I'll try to update soon, I really will.

Sooooo…..what do you think? Should I continue? If enough people like this, I'll put up the next chapter, so review!

Oh! Also, I'm looking for a good beta. Please! I need a lot of help!
