Venomkit ran over to his sister, Morningkit, who was under their mom. He looked from her to their parents, Leafbreeze and Whisperwind. He let out a small purr. "We are going to be apprentces soon!" He called out happily.
Morningkit darted out of her moms fur. "I know! I am so happy!" She purred loudly, running around the small nursery
Leafbreeze purred and licked her kits fur. "You need to stop running in the dirt so you look nice for your ceremony!" She said, pinning her kits down and licking their pelts clean.
"Mom!" The two kits complaned, but then sat up and looked at their fur happily, all sleak and shining.
Whisperwinds ears pricked up at the sound of the clan meating. He smiled brightly and ushered his kits out into the clearing. He sat at the base of the rockpile watched his kits with joy shimmering brightly in his eyes
Leafbreeze sat next to her kits, watching them happily as they watched up to the leader who was on the Rockpile.
Morningkit sat tall even in the gaze of all of the cats. She was proud, she was about to be an apprentice. She felt full of joy, she wanted to run, but did well to not show just looked up to the leader, while sitting next to her mom, her brother on the other side of her.
Venomkit pawed the ground, unable to hide his excetment like his sister could. He looked up happily to the leader of Skyclan, Rosestar.
Rosestar looked down to the kits. "Venomkit and Morningkit are now old enough to be apprentices!" She called down to the cats, love in her eyes. She had never had kits, so she thought of all of the kits as her own in some way.
The clan of cats hushed down, looking at the kits. They had not had an apprentice ceremony for a little while, and they were ready for new warriors.
"You both are strong and promising kits. From this day forward, until you earn your warrior names, you will be known as..." Rosestar called out, but then got cut off
Just before she could call out their new names, cats rushed into camp. They had their teeth bared and their claws unseathed. They jumped on the Skyclan cats, fighting them.
The Skyclan cats were startled, but they jumped infront of the elders, queens, and kits and jumped into battle. The queens pushed the kits into the nursery and sat guard, ready to fight if got into their fighting stance and bared their teeth.
Leafbreeze pushed her kits back and jumped right next to Whisperwind, ready to fight. She was growling to the cats, Thunderclan cats. She felt a great weight fall on her shoulders, as she turned, she saw that a cat had jumped on her. She flipped on her back and scrachted the cats stomach. She looked over to her right, and Whisperwind was also being hurt scrachted the cat off but then felt weak. Another cat hit the Thunderclan cat off, and Leafbreeze laid there, the only movement was her flanks going up and down.
The sounds of battle were ferice, but then died away. There was a yell from somewhere in the middle of the battle, a yell of victory from the leader of Thunderclan. All of the Thunderclan cats let out a yeowl of trumph and ran off, their tails held high.
The after math of the battle was terrible. Cats laid in the clearing, surrounded by blood. Among most of the hurt was Leafbreeze next to her mate, Whisperwind. They were breathing hard and in great pain. They had pools of blood around them, and Leafbreeze let out a yell of pain.
Morningkit and Venomkit ran out to their parents, tears in their eyes. "Mom, dad." They cried, seeing only their parents bodies, not the many other hurt or dead cats.
Leafbreeze lifted her head. "You are apprentices, even without your names. Stay strong, I love you both." She whispered painfully and looked to her love. "Meet you in Starclan." She said with a slight smile and took one more breath, then no more.
"Mommy!" Morningkit cried and ran over to her mom, licking her ear with tears running off her whiskers. "Dont leave." She whispered, then turned to her dad, knowing that his fate would be the same.
"Dad, what should we do?" Venomkit asked, his voice strong, but sad. He looked around. The deputy, the leader, and most of the warriors were dead.
"Venomkit, Morningkit. We love you. We will watch over you in Starclan. But Skyclan is no more. You must find a new home. Stay strong, we will watch over you." He whispered, and looked to the sky. Then he laid his head down and moved no more. He had joined Leafbreeze in Starclan.
Morningkit looked up from her dead parents, tears matting her chest hair. She looked around and saw all the dead cats. Her eyes rested on the leaders, then the deputy's bodies. Then her parents once more. "We have to find a new home. Dad is right, Skyclan is gone. Most of the other cats will probly become rouges." She whispered to her brother, her blue eyes blazing with sadness and anger.
"We must grab freshkill then go. We dont know how to hunt, maybe we can find a clan to take us in." He said and licked his parents head. "We love you, please keep us safe." He whispered then stalked over to the fresh kill pile and picked up a piece of food with sadness. He was eating while others would never eat again. He knew that he and his sister lived for a reason, and that that reason was known only by Starclan. He sat down and ate the rabbit slowly.
Morningkit looked around. He was right, and she saw other cats doing the same, well the ones that lived. She went over, licked her parents ears one last time, and ran to the fresh kill pile. The faster I eat, the faster I get away from this death. She thought to herself as she grabbed one of the last pieces of prey, thankfully a good sized squirrle. She sat down next to her brother and ate her prey.
Venomkit finished and stodd up. "Skyclan will be missed, but we must move out now." He said in his strong, controling voice. He scanned the camp and then walked to the exit, only to stop when he didnt hear his sister behind him. He turned around.
Morningkit was standing, just standing. She looked around and saw all that she used to do here. It was her home. She snapped out of it and looked at her brother. She walked up to him, and in her soft but positive voice said, "Lets go find a new home." The two kits walked away from the Skyclan camp, the camp that was once their home. They walked away from their parents dead bodies, and their friend's. They walked away, out of sight of the few cats still in camp. They were off to find a home.
