It was midnight, and all of Silverclan were sleeping peacefully in their dens. There was a slight breeze and the trees silently shook, making a gentle creaking noise as they moved. Then all of a sudden, bright green eyes flashed in the distance... Then all was still.
The next morning, the leader of Silverclan abruptly awoke from his sleep as a shrill cry pierced the air. He rushed outside and then skidded to a halt as he watched the scene before him. A queen heavy with kits was crying out as she was buffeted here and there by a small apprentice. The apprentice was called Woodpaw, and the queen was Moonshine.
"Come on! Fight back! Are you too weak? Oh that's too bad!" Woodpaw taunted, and he bashed his head into Moonshine's flank.
"Woodpaw!" The leader yowled, his pelt standing up in his rage, he stormed over to Woodpaw and cuffed his neck. "Nightstar- Ouch!" The apprentice howled in pain as Nightstar pushed him away from Moonshine.
"Fool! You stupid fur-ball, can't you see this queen is with kit?! Woodpaw I have told you time and again to stay with the other apprentices and or your mentor at all times! I have told you! These are dangerous times!" Nightstar was furious, his face was contorted and his black tail whipped around ferociously as he reprimanded Woodpaw.
Moonshine was panting, her flanks heaving up and down as she breathed. Oh how she wished she hadn't ventured outside the nursery to get some fresh-kill, her belly was starting to ache with pain from Woodpaws attack. "Nightstar... I need to get back to the nursery"
She said, her eyes closing weakly as she spoke.
"Yes... Yes, please go Moonshine. Go to Littlecloud first though for some herbs and maybe some poppyseeds." Nightstar replied.
Moonshine nodded, flicked her tail at Woodpaw, and went off to Littlecloud for some herbs.
"Woodpaw... I think you need to think about what you've done..." Nightstar said quietly. And as he spoke, raindrops fell from the skies, covering Silverclan camp and all the cats outside. "You are to stay inside the apprentice den until I find Ashfur and talk with him. This thing you have done could cost you your chance of becoming a warrior. The words stung Woodpaw, and he gritted his teeth. It wasn't fair, just because he butted a queen with kit he had to watch his friends become apprentices while he had to stay like this.. Forever?
Thunder clapped loudly in the sky, and lightning bolts flew everywhere. It was a very bad night. Suddenly Littlecloud dashed out of the Medicine Cat's Den into the nursery, her silver fur flying everywhere as she ran. Inside, Moonshine crouched in a bed of fern panting and sweating, her flanks trembling as she strained to keep from howling. Soon there was a gentle thud on the ground, and the mewling of a newborn kit filled the den. Littlecloud picked up the kit in her mouth, gasped, and almost dropped the kit. "W-what's wrong?" Moonshine asked. "Moonshine... She's white! W-with green eyes..." Littleclouds voice drained away. Moonshine weakly looked up at the kit and smiled. "I don't care. She's my kit and that's all that matters." Littlecloud nodded and proceeded to lick the kit clean.
