The only hope

Chapter 1

The nest was warm beneath her,she heard the squeals of her only sibling, her sister. Who was being taken away for her naming, that time was close for her too,he heard the cries of her mother and the growls of her father"-Give her back.. give her back please you just need to give us more time"her mother cried, she opened her eyes and looked up at the silver tabby, Moonlight, leaning onto the black tom with white chest, midnightstorm, "you will let us name this one if you want her"he growled. The blood red tom with white patch's here and there, where blood has not yet been put, laughed "I shall name this one if you don't tell me her name now... name this one too" she saw her sisters bright green eyes look down at her"the one you hold will be lightkit and this one starlingkit"said moonlight, almost falling over. The red tom mouth went into a straight line "fine" he turned to leave but stopped as midnightstorm said"Bloodstar how is deadear doing?", the tom made a toothy grin"he is bad at hunting and fighting, as a mouse would be trying to stay alive when being hunted, she wouldn't live another day".Starlingkit let tears form 'uncle' she dug her claws into the nest' he cares about almost no cat, working them to death day by day' as lightkit was lowered to the ground she asked"lightkit, since we're like apprentices like tomorrow, wanna have the last play we'll ever have?" then saw midnightstorm going out to do border patrols, patrols that takes from sunrise to the next sunrise three times, bye daddy" she said before following lightkit to the edge of the den, she gasped to see all the hard work,even cats that look like they could drop dead at any heartbeat"lightkit... I wish I was still a kit"she said scared "I hope apprentices are gone easy..."she stopped as she saw two apprentices that were trying to sleep dragged out of their nests by their mentors "mum... I just found out that I'm 4 moons old and lightkit is too" moonlight looked at her daughters sadly"no you turn 6 moons tomorrow... I- I'm sorry you saw" then she sat down on their nest"come it is time to sleep, it is getting late" starlingkit curled up next to her mother and wished they had played instead of looking at their lives.

Starlingkit woke as she heard her mother carrying them both of out the nursery, realising what was happening, she pretended to be asleep, but the stone beneath her made her open her eyes, her eyes filled with tears like her sister she stood up and looked down at all four clans "Starlingkit and lightkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Starlingpaw. Your mentor will be Darkshine. I hope Darkshine will pass down all she knows on to you.-starlingpaw saw her sister almost wanting to say something but she just put her paw on hers-and lightkit you will be lightpaw and your mentor will be-" "STOP"shouted lightpaw, bloodstar looked at lightpaw then saw firewish was climbing high rock "I wish to be firewish's apprentice" starlingpaw looked at lightpaw and whispered"just so you can escape" then she felt sad as her sister nodded firewish stood up and said "Cats of bloodclan, as you know, I will not be around forever. So it's time I took an apprentice. I have chosen a cat who has shown caring. Your next medicine cat will be lightpaw.

bloodstar:, do you accept the post of apprentice to firewish?

lightpaw: I do.

Then at the half-moon, you must travel to the Moonpool to be accepted by StarClan.

Bloodstar: The good wishes of all bloodclan will go with you.

Bloodstar grunted as he finished the ceremony "you made a bad choice lightpaw" then with that he leaped down and vanished into his den.
