Hi, this is my first fanfic. BE NICE OR I WILL SEND LILYSTAR AFTER YOU.

The shadows are darker now, more deep and black than they ever could be, should be. In every one, I see a face. Deathreaper's. Sometimes the face changes from its eternal surprise, to a serpentine black cat, whose glowing red eyes hold my death in their pupils… He paces the shadows, ready for the soundless battlecry to tell him ATTACK! Yowling, snarling, hissing, clawing, he lunges at me. I run, yowling like mad, about the darkness. But, he only laughs and starts running after me. I trip. Deathreaper closes in, preparing for the kill. But then he frowns and says: "Get up. STOP that yowling!" To my amazement, he sounds perfectly like my mom. He jumps, swiping at my neck, ever so close... My eyes fly open. My mother, Birdsong, looks cranky and sounds pissed."Could you STOP yowling in your sleep, Rainbowkit?! I'm TRYING to get some sleep too, ya' know…" She trails off, knowing I got her meaning.

And that day I became an apprentice.

{Time Skip} A/N: MAJOR TIME SKIP, from here till warrior, because nothing exciting happens during apprenticeship. Absolutely nothing. An elder dies, because I don't have enough names for them.

" Rainbowshimmer! Rainbowshimmer!" The chanting ceased, because they had said that about twenty million times already.

One night later, my father, Robinflight, is found dead in a clearing.

Yes I know it's short. Sorry Lilystar, I changed that bit. Please don't- STOP DANCING BLOSSOMKIT! Blossomkit will come up in this story. There will be two 'Blossoms', a warrior and a kit. PLEASE DON'T FLAAAAAME!
