Wren's Story

by DNACat

Abandoned by her mother, Wren is forced into clan life. What does her future hold? Death? Love? Loss? Happiness? Who knows? But now, her tale will be told. (Please Note: I am continuing this I'm just on hiatus until mid-February.)

1. Prologue

Wren's Story Prologue

A she-cat trotted through a clearing, two kits at her side. They both stared around with shock at the clearing, gasping with amazement at the tall and vast pines; the kits being used to long, luscious green fields.

"Mama, where are we going?" The first one, a light brown tabby, asked her mother curiously, ears bent back in fear of this new terrain.

"Hush, Wren. I'm-" The she-cat was unable to finish her sentence, sighing and shaking her head, "Taking you somewhere.".

"Where's, somewhere?" The second kit, a mottled grey at, asked his mother eagerly, ready for an adventure.

"You'll have to find out, won't you?" The she-cat purred, but inside her mind she panicked. Would Nightslip follow through with the plans?

Or would he bail?

"Okay then, mama!" Wren stuck her tail in the air, smiling at her mother.

The she-cat smiled peacefully at her daughter, stifling a sigh.

Wren wouldn't have any full memories of her. She had only opened her eyes just two days ago. Falcon, the grey mottled tom, had opened his pale golden eyes just a day ago.

"Is that you?" A muffled voice called out, a sleek black tom shocking the trio back to reality.

"Nightslip, you came." The she-cat purred thankfully, smiling at the reassuring figure of the black clan cat.

"Why wouldn't I? Are these the two kits I've been told about?" Nightslip indicated with his black tail to the kits that stared up at him with curiosity.

"Mama, who's tha'?" Wren asked her mother, staying behind her mothers legs and almost cowering.

"This is Nightslip." The she-cat indicated to the tom, staring at him with a question in her pale golden eyes, and she almost sighed as the tom nodded, "Your papa.".

"Papa?" Falcon gaped at Nightslip in amazement, bouncing up, "Papa! I really wanted to meet you!".

"And so did, I." Nightslip paused and breathed in heavily, "Son.".

Falcon smiled up at Nightslip and reached up to press his nose to the black toms cheek. Nightslip purred at the tom and picked him up by the scruff, "Wow, you're light.".

"I'm only a half moon old!" Falcon grumbled, closing his eyes impatiently, "Can you let go now?".

Wren watched this and giggled, raising her paw to her mouth.

The she-cat smiled to, stifling a cackle of laughter as Falcon was dropped onto the ground.

"What, you told me to drop you." Nightslip smiled teasingly, letting out a snap of laughter as Falcon grumbled at him, the mottled grey tom glaring up at Nightslip.

"Well it wasn't funny!".

"It so was!" Wren cackled, kicking out a leg as Falcon leaped at her angrily.

"It wasn't funny, Wren!" He declared as he was winded by a strong kick from his sister.

"Yes it was!".

Falcon grumbled, and flicked his tail bitterly, lowering his head.

"Anyway," The she-cat rolled her eyes at her kits and whispered to Nightslip, "Do you have a friend with you?".

"Yes, Alderwing.".

"Good, is he ready?".

"Waiting for my signal.".

"Now.".

Nightslip flicked his tail sharply and rounded on Wren, grabbing her by the scruff as a broad shouldered tabby charged in, Alderwing, and grabbed Falcon.

"Hey, gerrof!" Wren protested angrily, squirming at Nightslip.

Nightslip didn't replied, but continued marching on as Alderwing followed with a squealing Falcon in jaws.

"Mama! Mama don't let them take us!" The she-cat was scarred as she turned and padded away, but the helpless voices of her kits screeched on, begging her to turn back and come with them.

"But that can't happen, if they find me, they'll want to know who the father is, and if he finds out, he'll tear ThunderClan apart to get Wren and Falcon." She paused and stared up at the sky, "May StarClan go with you, my kits.".

_THUNDERCLAN CAMP_

Nightslip glanced at Alderwing who nodded as the two slipped into camp.

Nightslip felt the curious eyes of his clanmates burn into his fur and he shivered slightly with discomfort.

"Nightslip?" A voice gasped, Nightwing flinching as more gasps rang around camp.

He knew most cats wouldn't be able to forgive him for doing such an arrogant thing as to bring two kits into camp.

Nightslip gulped as Wren began to squirm harder, shaking furiously.

"L-Let me go!" She protested meekly, glancing at the new strange cats around her.

"Nightslip, where did you find these kits?" A voice, Darkstar, called out to him, the black tom staring up to see his leader staring down at him.

"A dying rogue found me and Alderwing on the border. The rogue begged me to take her kits, so I took them." Nightslip gently placed Wren on the ground, "How was I to say no when the warrior code demands I save all kits?".

Wren glared up at him, "Why did you take me, papa?".

"Papa?" Tigerblaze, who sat beside Aspenstripe, snorted in disapproval.

Aspenstripe, a cruel but good cat at heart, cuffed the dark tabby over the ears and hissed at him to remain silent.

"This is not your decision. If you're going to complain like a kit, I'd recommend you move into the nursery.".

Tigerblaze scowled and stared at the ground angrily, grumbling away about nothing.

"Nightslip, you realize that prey is running low, especially with the trouble with ShadowClan?".

"Yes, but the Warrior Code demands that I-".

"Yes, I know that the Warrior Code says you should protect all kits," Darkstar's icy blue eyes gave away his shame as he spoke again, "But couldn't you have at least just dumped it off to ShadowClan or WindClan?".

"What? ShadowClan would've attacked them and WindClan would have left them for dead!".

"What's a ShadowClan?" Falcon piped up as he was dropped beside his sister by Alderwing.

"It doesn't matter right now, Falcon." Nightslip reasured the tom, staring back up at Darkstar, "Well. Are we going to keep them or toss them out of the clan to die at the claws of another rogue?".

Wren stared in horror at Darkstar, gasping.

Darkstar sighed, his warrior loyal heart telling him to let them stay while his sensible mind screamed back that he should send them off to ShadowClan.

"He can't say no," His deputy, Jayfall whispered to his mate, Rowanflight, "The warrior code and StarClan tell him he must save all kits!".

Darkstar thought about this. His father had been a tyrant, why shouldn't he follow?

Why shouldn't he when his father was gifted such power for killing only two kits?

He shook his head, "No," He thought to himself, "These kits will die at the claws of a rogue or ShadowClan.".

"Fine," Darkstar called, "The kits may stay. But if they step one paw out of place-".

"They'll be kicked out of the clan." Nightslip finished his leader's sentence, before nudging Wren towards the nursery.

"Hey, before you get them settled into the nursery, what're they're names? 'Cause Darkstar is gonna give them both a naming ceremony." A young voice, Blossompaw, asked the tom.

"Wrenkit and Falconkit.".

"'Kay.".

"Cats of ThunderClan, gather at the high rock for a clan meeting!".

All heads turned to Darkstar as Nightslip slipped out of the den, thankful the kits had been so grateful to the comfortable moss.

"StarClan. Falcon, a rogue, has decided to join ThunderClan's ranks. I now strip him of his rogue name," Darkstar paused, as if waiting for StarClan to reply, "And, by your approval, I now name him Falconkit!".

Few voices cheered for the new kit, but everyone politely dipped their head.

"StarClan. Wren, a rogue, has decided to join ThunderClan's rank. I now strip her of her rogue name," A pause, "And, by your approval, I now name her Wrenkit!".
