Chapter One:
...His life was messed up...
Chapter One
Bluekit hopped on top of Blackkit, his brother. "Got ya!" He squeaked as he pummeled the black tomkit with his paws.
"Darn! Now you be the Shadowclan warrior!" Blackkit growled happily. "And I'm going to defeat you!"
Bluekit leaped on top of Blackkit's back and nipped him. "I am Bluestar, the fearsome leader of Shadowclan! You cannot fight me and win!"
"No- I'm Blackstar of Thunderclan and your going down, Shadowclan fox-heart!" Blackkit hissed in reply, They scuffled for a few moments until Bluekit stood up on his brother, who was pinned. Bluekit had won- again.
"Bluekit! Blackkit! Come back to the nursery and act like your sisters!" Their mother, Dawnsky, called out. She was a blue-gray she-cat with vivid amber eyes.
"Fine," Bluekit grumbled. He trudged inside the nursery, Blackkit trailing behind him.
As he entered, Bluekit saw his sisters Whitekit and Yellowkit sleeping, though Redkit, Bluekit's brother, was trying to wake them up. The last kit of the litter, Graykit, was batting at Redkit's tail, purring as she did.
"Get some sleep like Whitekit and Yellowkit", Dawnsky ordered. "Your going to have a very long day tomorrow, because it's going to be your apprentice ceremonies."
"Yes!" Bluekit cheered. He quickly curled up beside his mother and sisters, sleeping soundly.
...No one believed in him...
Once again, enjoy! :)
Chapter Two
Blackkit shifted from beside Bluekit. Bluekit let out an angry snort. "Blackkit!" he snarled. "Stop fidgeting!"
"Sorry," his brother muttered.
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey, come to the high ledge for a clan meeting!" Falconstar, the leader of the clan, announced.
Bluekit tensed. It was time for his apprentice ceremony!
"Be good!" Dawnsky hissed to him and his siblings as she padded away to sit next to Owlflight, their father. He was a black, gray, and white mix.
Holding his head high, Bluekit led his littermates to the High ledge as Falconstar mewed, "It's time for a few kits to become warrior apprentices today."
Bluekit stiffened. A few? Is someone becoming a medicine cat apprentice? But then he realized that Falonstar wasn't meaning few. He meant all six of them.
"Bluekit, Blackkit, Redkit, are you ready to become apprentices of Thunderclan?" Falconstar asked.
"Yes!" Redkit and Bluekit exclaimed.
"Yep," Blackkit meowed.
"Then Blackkit, you are now Blackpaw. Your mentor shall be Longbreeze. Redkit, you are now Redpaw and your mentor will be Swiftpelt." Falconstar replied, gesturing with his tails to two warriors.
"Bluekit, you are Bluepaw until you earn your warrior name, and your mentor will be Goldenbreeze."
Bluepaw smiled. He was now a warrior apprentice!
Whitekit became Whitepaw and earned Smallfeather, Yellowpaw ended up with Stonetail, and Graypaw was given Darktail, Stonetail's brother.
"Bluepaw! Blackpaw! Whitepaw! Redpaw! Yellowpaw! Graypaw!" The clan cheered out.
Bluepaw grinned. He was an apprentice!
...He was rejected, even when he saved other's lives...
Chapter Three
Bluepaw padded over to his new mentor. "Where will we be going?" he asked Goldenbreeze. Out of the six mentors, only Goldenbreeze and Smallfeather were she-cats. The rest were toms.
"I think we can do a border patrol," Goldenbreeze replied. "I can show you the Shadowclan border and the Owl Tree."
Suddenly, a yowl went through the clearing. "Shadowclan is attacking!" It was an elder, Patch-eye, who had spoken.
"Oh no! Since you and your littermates are new apprentices, hide in the elder's den and protect them," Goldenbreeze ordered.
Bluepaw nodded and beckoned with his tail to Blackpaw and the rest. "We need to protect the elders," he told them.
Whitekit exchanged a glance with Yellowpaw. "Okay."
The six ran to the honey suckle bush and shoved Patch-eye inside. "Get in!"
Also inside was Tallfur, a black and gray tom, and Heatherblaze, and tortoiseshell she-cat. "We need to proctect you guys. Get in the back!" Blakpaw mewed urgently.
As the elders did as they were told to, a shout went through the clearing- Shadowclan was in the camp.
No one seemed to be attacking Bluepaw and the rest yet, making him think, I think we are going to be safe!
Just then, a huge black tom burst into the elder's den, eyes narrowed as he surveryed the six new apprentices and the three elders. "This should be easy!" the Shadowclan warrior hissed, and lunged for Graypaw.
"NO!" Bluepaw yowled as a crack went through the air, and his sister fell to the ground, dead as her life pooled out of her and her neck cracked.
"G-graypaw!" Blackpaw stuttered.
"I'll get you for this!" Redpaw growled and he and Bluepaw's remaining sisters leaped onto the black Shadowclan tom.
Suddenly a howl sounded, and Falconstar raced in with Dawnsky and Stonetail. The black enemy sprang up and fleed, a few scratches and a long gash on his flank to show for his battle. "Thunderclan has won!"
Dawnsky moaned. "Graypaw! My sweet child, my pretty kit, no..."
Falconstar put his tail on her shoulder. "At least she went to Starclan an apprentice."
Dawnsky stiffened and whipped around. "She had her whole life ahead of her! She shouldn't have died! If someone were there s-she wouldn't have!" The queen flashed back as she ran out of the elder's den, sobbing.
Bluepaw sank to the ground. Graypaw... why couldn't I save you?
He had no idea what he would do now- he was too young to be dealing with grief like this!
There was only one thing to do.
...All of this happened from that accident...
Chapter Four
I can't go on living without my sister! Bluepaw thought as he padded to his destination. He knew enough stories and descriptions from the elders and senior warriors to find the gorge, next to the Windclan and Riverclan border.
Only one thing to do... Bluepaw suddenly heard the roar of the gorge. Looking down, he saw the tiny foaming, twisting river.
Time to jump. Bluepaw swallowed his grief. He'd be with his sister soon.
Bluepaw couldn't deal with grief. For all he knew, you couldn't go on living when someone you loved died.
As Bluepaw prepared to spring, he heard a yowl and looked behind to see two Thunderclan cats he didn't want to see. At all.
Oh no! Falconstar and Dawnsky! His leader and mother were racing to him.
"Bluepaw! Don't! You can't kill yourself!" Dawnsky yelled.
"You have so much to offer to the clan!" Falconstar added.
What a great way to keep me from committing suicide, Bluepaw thought, the sarcasm ringing in his head. He bunched his muscles up, and-
Suddenly he was flying through the air. I'm really doing this? Bluepaw wondered. Am I just really crazy...? No!
Then there was a sharp pain in his scruff. He glanced up.
"You are not killing yourself!" Falconstar grunted.
But Bluepaw felt the leader's grip loosen. Huh? Then Bluepaw realized he couldn't die- he had his whole life, his clan, his family, all there for him. And now his leader was there.
Then the grip slackened some more.
"Dawnsky! Help me!" Falconstar mewed urgently. Bluepaw looked down at the river.
Then he was sailing through the air again.
Falconstar! Bluepaw thought.
"NOOOOOO!" Bluepaw's terrified wail rang through the gorge as he fell; Dawnsky's echoing his and Falconstar yowling in surprise and defeat.
Then Bluepaw noticed a small, tiny ledge. He could make it there, and live!
The ledge seemed to rush up to meet him, and Bluepaw felt his body slam as he pounded on the ground.
