Time before the Clans
Thunder
Prologue
The wind whistled in the trees and a heavily pregnant she-cat was walking to the waters edge, as she did so another cat emerged a cat with a shimmering tortoishell coat. As the pregnant cat began to drink the tortoishell bounded to her side and took the she-cat by surprise. "I'm sorry is this your territory I didn't know, I'll leave now," then started to bound away
" Night wait!" the tortoishell cried "I have a message for you"
Night stopped in her tracks "how do you know my name and what do you want with me?" she questioned
"Your kits Night one of them has a very important destiny he will have the strength of the forest behind him in all he does be strong Night and protect your kits with your life."
"Who are you?" she insisted
"That knowledge will come in time" she replied calmly
"That's not an answer!" Night was desperate now.
but just then the cat in-front of her started fading and as she did so, she whispered "for you and your kits protection you must stay beneath your ancestors spirits and when your time comes you will join them."
Still dazed Night walked away who was that cat and what did she mean.
Chapter 1
"Aren't they beautiful Flame"
"They're perfect Night"
who's talking to my mother? Thunder thought
"I already named those two the big muscular tom that has your orange tabby coat is thunder, and the little she cat with the black four leaf clover on her head is well clover." my mother was talking about me! she called me big and muscular! a feeling of pride came in waves of his pelt.
"what about that one the grey tom next to his brother?" Flame asked
"I thought you could name him" Night said sweetly.
Wait! Thunder thought I have a brother to, yes someone proper to play with. as Flame continued "lets name him Rain because clovers need rain to survive and thunder is close to rain in the clouds, and because of his grey coat,"
"that's a wonderful name!" Night mewed joyfully
so I have a brother and a sister, Rain and Clover. he thought as he slipped into a peaceful sleep.
4 moons had passed since the day Thunder was born. I woke up to a paw prodding my side, "get up lazy bones its breakfast!" Clover mewed
"ok ok stop with the prodding already," I groaned
"come on! Rain caught a mouse"
"get off me I'm getting up!" as I got up I caught the musky scent on mouse on the breeze and as I ran towards my family I heard Rain pipe up "it had no idea I was there!"
"course!" I mewed in a sarcastic tone as I got closer,
"its true!" he retorted
"when are w going to the forest to hunt dad?" Clover asked
"Yes Flame its your turn to take them toady" Night mewed
"ok then guys lets go!"
yes! today was going to be fun.
Leaves brushed past my muzzle as I bounded back to my den with Flame, Clover and Rain I was carring two mice and a thrush. As we neared the den Night appeared "Well done! I have such skilled children, and as a treat you can choose what you want and eat it now" she meowed softly "Thanks!" we all chorused I dropped my kill and chose my own thrush, the sweet scent wafted through my nostrils as I carried it back to the mossy corner were we normally ate put it down and began to eat with Rain and Clover.
