Prologue
(Thx, I didn't notice I wrote epilogue and not Prologue!)
Dove wing gazed lovingly into her two kits. After all the pain from the kitting, she smiled from the sight of them.
"Two she-kits! Congratulations, Dovewing." Jayfeather purred for a second.
"What should we name them?" Bumblestripe stared down at them.
"Well this one's pelt is light like T...your fur! It's glowing in the sun! Why don't we name her Lightkit?" Dovewing exclaimed.
"That's perfect! How about...Darkkit for this one? Her pelt is dark like yours." he looked down at his paws, "though maybe that's more of a name for a tom…"
There was a heartbeat of silence, that was broken by Dovewing. "No, Bumblestripe. That name is perfect."
Bumblestripe purred, and left to get her some water. Dovewing watched her two little kits mew for milk as Jayfeather gave her some herbs.
"Dovewing, there's something I have to tell you," Jayfeather mumbled, low enough so only she could hear It. "You know how we lost our powers, right?"
"How could I forget?" Dovewing sighed.
"When we lost them, I got a omen from StarClan," he went on, "I...I think we didn't exactly lose our powers. I think there passed on to one of our kits."
"Wait, what! You mean...then.." Dovewing sputtered.
"Yes. Either Lionblaze's kits, or yours will get a prophecy like ours." He went on, "But I'm not exactly sure. The omen specifically showed me that it was kits from two clans, born from the ones with powers."
Dovewing winced. She felt like she was dying inside of her. Her kits had to suffer because of her mistakes...
'If only I hadn't been with Tigerheart…' She thought.
"Dovewing? Are you okay? I mean, the prophecy Isn't for Lionblaze's kits and they can't be yours…" she could feel Jayfeather's claws sink into the ground as he continued, "tell me that this omen Isn't meant for your kits!"
"I'm sorry! It was a mistake and...and…" Dovewing cried.
"No! This goes beyond, 'just a mistake!' These kits will be cursed with this horrible omen forever until they die! They could try and use their powers-" Jayfeather growled.
Dovewing quickly scratched his muzzle as Bumblestripe strolled in with the water. He froze as he saw the seen, and Dovewing could see why. There was the blood on her claws, the blood on Jayfeather, and the scared little kits.
"Erm...well…" he sputtered.
"I'll leave you two alone." Jayfeather hissed with the look 'you're dead' in his blind eyes.
Dovewing sighed in grief, and licked her two kits. Before Bumblestripe could say anything, Ivypool and Bramblestar came in.
"Dovewing! Are you okay? Where are the kits?" her sister looked around, worried for Dovewing.
Dovewing purred, and showed her the two kits. Bramblestar nodded happily at her, then walked out. Ivypool shoved Bumblestripe out of the way, and pushed her way to the two kits.
"Wow," Ivypool stared, "They look so much like you and T-" Dovewing gave her an angry look. Ivypool nodded, as if saying 'sorry, I forgot…'
Ivypool blocked out any cats from coming in, and came closer to Dovewing. "Dovewing, these kits will have such a hard life with the prophecy."
"Wait, prophecy? Jayfeather said it was just an omen!" Dovewing whispered, a shot of alarm running through her paws.
"What? I was with him when he got It." Ivypool gave a questioning look.
Dovewing winced at her words. An icy chill ran through her pelt as she thought about it. Dovewing quickly explained everything Jayfeather told her.
"So...then...you don't know…" Ivypool muttered.
"I don't know what!" Dovewing shouted, "I may have lost my power to hear from far away, but that doesn't mean I'm deaf!"
"There's more to these kits powers.." Ivypool kept her head down, "You're two kits can turn out to be heroes, and save the clans."
Dovewing let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, that's it?"
"I'm not finished…" She could see Ivypools claws dig into the ground, "yes, they could be heroes. Or they could destroy the clans, killing each and every clan cat here."
