Summary- Wavesplash has given birth to Crowtalon's three kits. There's Nightkit, the oldest and the only tom. He's the leader, the realist and the protecter of his two sisters. Sootkit is the middle kit. She's the pawful, the one who will give her mentor a hard time when the time comes. It seems the little gray furball can never stay completely still. Finally there's Featherkit, the youngest. A word is rarely uttered from her mouth toward anyone but her siblings.

Tension is beginning to rise between WindClan and ThunderClan, threatening to grow into war. Nightkit and his sisters are forced to listen to battle after battle. Alliances shift yet again, as ThunderClan find themselves joining forces with the dark ShadowClan to battle the rising threat. The three siblings only find comfort in each other as they watch more cats fall injured and fall dead. When a close friend of Sootkit turns up dead in one of the battles, she vows to avenge his death. Nightkit can only watch as his sister grows darker every day, seeing her practice her fighting every day until their apprenticeship. No one takes notice of Featherkit, who finds herself distancing from her siblings as nightmares plague her sleep. This story is only the beginning of the kits' adventure, an adventure that could either bring peace back to the lake, or destroy the harmony of the Clans forever.

This chapter contains both the Allegiances and the Prologue. For now the only Allegiances I'll show are the TC one. Look out for an updated Allegiances chapter later on in the story. This takes place many, many seasons after Po3, with no cats from that series around.

Disclaimer- I do not, and sadly will not ever, own Warriors.

Prologue

"Congratulations, Wavesplash! You have three healthy and beautiful kits."

Wavesplash purred, laying her head on her paws. The sound of her kits' mewls and purrs echoed in her ears, the scent of milk wafting around her. She was well aware of the sound of Redsplash's two kits, mewing out their curiousities as they stared at the newcomers. A smile emerged on her face as she heard Bramblekit squealing the loudest. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed the small cream-colored kit padding cautiously toward her. She took notice of Flamesinge, however, who was watching the kit closely.

Wavesplash turned toward the kit, nodding to signal him to come forward. Bramblekit grinned, moving at a much quicker pace now. He paused only momentarily, glancing behind him at his younger sister, Rosekit. Wavesplash noticed the small ginger tabby kit staring at her with wide, shy green eyes. Wavesplash offered her a smile, and it was returned nervously. With much more careful and slow steps the ginger kitten joined her brother to gaze at the newcomers.

The largest and oldest kit had jet-black fur. He was the only tom, and was a bit bigger then his two sisters. Next to him lay the middle kit. Gray patches were visible across her white fur, as if someone had splashed her with soot. The little kit raised one shaking paw and batted her brother, her head moving about and trying to pick up any sounds. Like her brother and sister, her eyes were sealed shut. Finally, the last kit was practically a carbon copy of her mother. Her silky white fur shared the color of the snow. A few soft whimpers escaped the tiny kit's throat, showing her terror at being out in this new and strange world.

Bramblekit stared down at the kits, eyes wide with wonder. "Will they be my friends?" he asked Wavesplash, blue orbs staring into her own blue eyes hopefully. "I've been lonely since Grasspaw left the Nursery."

Wavesplash purred and nodded. "Of course they will, Bramblekit. But not until they're older. Right now they're too young to play."

Though he was clearly disappointed about the age factor, a smile appeared on Bramblekit's face at the thought of new friends. Rosekit remained silent, staring down at the kits and looking them each over. She hadn't yet mewed a word. Bramblekit looked at her sister, tilting his head to the side in confusion. "Something wrong, Rosekit?"

Rosekit shook her head and, after nodding in congratulations to Wavesplash, returned to her mother's side. Redsplash smiled apologetically before licking Rosekit on her forehead. Flamesinge had long since left, and now Wavesplash was waiting patiently for Crowtalon to return from his patrol. Bramblekit ran back to his sister and mother, still smiling as he laid down beside them. It wasn't long before Crowtalon's large head appeared in the Nursery. Upon seeing Wavesplash the dark gray tom charged inside, covering his mate with licks immediately.

"You've kitted!" he mewed. Wavesplash rolled her eyes and nodded, still smiling at the sight of her mate. Crowtalon's eyes had moved to the three kits at his mate's belly.

"They're beautiful," he murmured, his tail moving over each one. "Have you thought of names yet?"

Wavesplash shook her head. "I wanted to wait for you."

Crowtalon nodded, eyes moving immediately to the large black kit. He stared at him for a moment before mewing, "I like Nightkit for the black tom."

Wavesplash nodded with approval. "And I was thinking Sootkit for the white and gray she-cat," she mewed quickly. Both their eyes moved to the white she-cat, who was still mewling softly as if frightened. She was small, delicate and fragile. Her fur looked as fluffy as a newborn chick's downy feathers. An idea suddenly emerged in Wavesplash's mind.

"What about Featherkit, for the white she-cat?" Her mew was soft, eyes not moving from the small white kitten. Crowtalon looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding.

"Perfect. Nightkit, Sootkit and Featherkit."

Wavesplash purred before laying her head down, exhausted. Her bright blue eyes closed, and it wasn't long before she had fallen asleep. Crowtalon stood at the Nursery entrance for a moment, admiring his family once more before exiting the now silent den.

None of them could know of the dark future haunting those three kits.

Well, the Prologue was... boring. Sorry about that. It was short too, I guess. Well, next chapter will be up soon. It will be in Sootkit's POV.
