Before we start:
1. I have changed the name Starkit, because it just makes me cringe.
2. Some parts of plot that are considered "major" in the original writings will be changed dramatically or deleted.
3. I don't like the number two, so I've added another one.
Prolouge
A mass of starry cats gathered around a small, tranquil pool, the bottom nowhere to be seen. They all looked into it eagerly, leaning against each other. A dark shape appeared on the surface, and as a blue she-cat looked up, her eyes were shining.
"There is a prophecy!" She declared. "Out of the darkness that lasts forever, a raging fire will come and rid us of the ones that have taken the wrong path."
"Who could it be about?" A pale white tom muttered, his eyes wide open. "Who will be the one to save the forest? Too many questions, too little time." He looked solemnly at a dark golden tom standing by the blue-gray she-cat. "Whoever it is, they will have powers nobody dreamed of," he breathed.
"Should we tell Jayfeather, Bluestar?"
"Tell him." said Bluestar quietly. "He needs to know about this. But be careful what you do; they must understand in their own time. And fate cannot be changed anyways."
"But..."
She gave no answer, just walked away from the pool silently, her footsteps hardly making a sound.
Chapter One
Rise Of A Heroin
Foxkit opened her eyes up as sunlight shone through the branches and the sound of the usual early morning commotion rang in her ears. She struggled to not fall asleep again, but she was so tired. But then again, of course her mom wouldn't let her sleep. Not today, anyways.
"Sweetheart! It's time to get up," Dawnsparkle said as she nudged Foxkit by the shoulders. Seeing her expression, she added, "come on, don't be so glum. Today is important!."
"What is it, mom?" asked Foxkit, still groggy from sleep. "I..."
Then the she-cat remembered, and she bolted up with a jolt.
"I get it! It's my ceremony today!" she squeaked excitedly. Today was the day she would become an apprentice!
She flicked her tail ran peeked outside, not even waiting for her mom. But her Dawnsparkle caught up to her quick.
"Sweetie! Be careful. Don't expect too much. Sometimes, the clans don't like cats that re not pure-blooded," she warned. "This is not the time to get your tempers out."
Foxkit glared. Her mom was always telling her that. Just because she was part Shadowclan didn't mean she was any different from any other cat!
"May all cats able to catch their own prey gather here beneath the Great Rock!"
Firestar's voice rang out above the rest, his formidable shape shadowing the rest of the clearing. The moment he finished his sentence, the crowd began to quiet down and settle themselves among the rest of the clans.
"Foxkit! Step forward."
Foxkit gulped and took a few reluctant steps to her front. This was it. Every hair on her body tinged.
"It is time for you to become an apprentice!" he yowled. "You have become of age, and now may Starclan light your path as you begin your journey. Foxkit, are you ready to become an apprentice?"
Foxkit's muscles tightened. "Yes."
"Then by the power of Starclan, until your warrior name has been earned, you shall now be known as Foxpaw. Your mentor will be Squirrlflight."
Foxpaw's eyes glowed with pride and stepped up to touch noses with her. Squirrelflight smiled a strained smile at her and leaned forward to finish the ceremony. "Fare well, little apprentice."
The crowd began chanting. "Foxpaw! Foxpaw!" She almost felt overwhelmed, but in a good way. She had never felt so... accepted before.
"Foxpaw!"
She turned around. Jayfeather. "Hi," She greeted. Jayfeather didn't seem to hear her, just stare out at the distance, not giving her eye contact.
Like there was something he wanted to say but couldn't get out the words right.
"You see..."
Foxpaw's eyes narrowed in suspicion. "What?"
He looked away. "Nothing. Never mind. Just... Enjoy your first day as an apprentice, Foxpaw."
She was still suspicious, but decided to leave it. "Okay... sure," she tried.
Jayfeather didn't answer.
