A New Beginning

by Snowfluff

Here comes the thrilling sequel to Secrets and Witnesses. Featherstar's brother, Duskstorm, has just welcomed two new kits with his mate: Mistkit and Cedarkit. Featherstar soon receives numerous visions and warnings from StarClan that tell her that Cedarkit will do something very evil in the future. Snowsong now lives in StarClan, and is soon told to do a very difficult task.

1. Chapter 1

So here it is-the Secrets and Witnesses sequel! This sequel takes place a couple of seasons, maybe a year or two, after the events of Secrets and Witnesses. I hope you enjoy A New Beginning! It won't be that long, since I would like to know what you think of the sequel. I am thinking of writing Snowstar's POV in first person and in present tense. If you dislike this, please tell me.

Featherstar's POV

"Isn't he wonderful?" Featherstar looked at her niece and nephew. Duskstorm's mate, Sorrelfall, had just kitted. The she-cat was a nice light grey, much lighter than Duskstorm's dark grey pelt. The tom, on the other hand, was a light brown tom with thin, black stripes.

"Yes, they're lovely," Featherstar replied to Duskstorm. "Have they gotten names?"

"The she-cat is Mistkit, you know, she's named after Mistbreeze," Duskstorm murmured. "The tom is Cedarkit,"

"Oh, look Duskstorm! Cedarkit opened his eyes!" Sorrelfall purred. Cedarkit's eyes were a bright blue, and he looked straight at Featherstar.

Featherstar gave out a little gasp, and suddenly the world folded and darkness came. Images flashed in the darkness: Cedarkit, flashing an evil grin. Cedarkit, on top of a cat's body with bloody claws. Cedarkit, now a grown warrior, lifting his head and cackling.

"DO NOT LET HIM GROW!" A voice so harsh that it made Featherstar want to cry. "IF YOU DO, ICECLAN WILL BE DESTROYED FOREVER!"

Featherstar was thrown out of her little 'coma' and slammed into the nursery wall. There was a loud crack, and the nursery roof and walls collapsed.

Snowsong's POV - Which will be told from first person!

I look down at my Clan from far above as my kits, Bramblepaw and Ashpaw - well, now Bramblefang and Ashsong -receive their warrior names. I feel tears slowly roll down my muzzle, splashing onto the fresh earth.

It has been many seasons since I left my beloved mate, kits, and Clan. On my way home from helping Featherstar reunite with her parents, I was attacked and killed.

Later on when I was welcomed into the ranks of StarClan, I found out who the killer was.

Larkflight, my former best friend and now nemesis, who is now trying to get Hawktalon to love her once more.

But it will not work. I visit Hawktalon every night in his dreams. I hunt with him, sometimes calling for our kits to join us, and we have a great time like a normal Twoleg family would have.

However, we are no normal Twoleg family. We are warriors, who have suffered many things that do not please us, and losses that pierce our hearts like a stinging nettle.

"Snowsong," I spin around to see Darkstar, the first leader of DarkClan.

"It's time for your evaluation."
