Welcome to my second story! Based on song COPYCAT by Billie Eilish

Prologue

"Hopleap! Hopleap!" a white and black she-cat cried. "My kits are coming!"

A white tom rushed to the queen, "Really?"

"Yes!" the queen replied with a hiss.

A red tom ran to the nursery. "Am I allowed inside?"

"No!" the white tom replied.

The red tom ran out of the camp. Ugh. Why is it always me unwanted?

Redmoon's POV

Why does it always have to be me? Why am I always left out? WHY CAN'T I SEE MY OWN KITS?

"Hello, Redmoon" a familiar voice meowed softly. "Feeling alone again?"

"Of course. Love. Why can't you be real?" he replied sadly. "If you were alive.. Maybe we could have had kits together. And name one after you."

His paws on the soft dirt.. Feeling all alone.

"You want one named after me?" the voice asked.

Redmoon nodded. Knowing that his love will never come back.

"Swanfeather?"

"Yes, love?"

"Does Lilyflower love me?"

"Of course! I love you too!"

"I-i uh.." Redmoon paused. "I feel like I'm betr-"

"Oh! I must go now.. Sorry." Swanfeather meowed. She closed her eyes and faded away from the living world.

Redmoon huffed. Am I betraying Swanfeather? He walked back to the camp hoping the kitting has finished.

"It's done! Two she-kits!" Hopleap meowed proudly.

Redmoon rushed into the nursery. He saw Lilyflower and two tiny kits. A light tabby brown she-kit with a ombre bushy tail and a pure white she-kit with a small brush of red on the tip of her tail. She's beautiful!

"What should we name them?" Lilyflower meowed breaking his thoughts.

"Hmmm... Thornkit for the tabby obviously! But what about the white fluffy she-kit?" Redmoon meowed.

"Redmoon! Thornkit is perfectly fine. How about Whitekit?"

Redmoon sighed. "Okay.."


It's been two moons since Redmoon named the kits. Whitekit was the most popular kit and poor Thornkit was disowned by her mother and father.

"WHITEKIT! Wait for meee!" the light brown tabby she-kit cried.

The other kits in the nursery were also pretty and loved her mother but didn't know why her mother hated her. She decided to try and find some prey for her.

She snuck out of SkyClan camp, quietly finding her prey she crouched down and did what Graypaw taught her, crouch, keep tail still, and pounce. She pounced with her claws unsheated, she sunk her claws into the mouse and glory filled in her. "Yes!" she cried.

She ran back into the camp and woke her mother. "Look, mama!" her mouth holding the mouse. Lilyflower groaned. She opened her eyes and they were filled with rage.

"Where were you?" she yelled.

"I was hunti-"

"No! You can't leave the camp! And where did you get that prey?" Lilyflower hissed.

"I caught it. " Thornkit replied.

"Did you really?" a new voice said. It was Whitekit, her sister.

"Yes!" Thornkit cried.

"No!" their mother hissed. "Go to sleep now! I'll put the prey in the fresh-kill pile."


"Whitepaw! Thornpaw!" the Clan cried.

"Yay! We're apprentices!" Whitepaw meowed.

"mhm." Thornpaw replied happily.

They began their training and they met many other apprentices from different Clans.

Thornpaw met Icyclaw, her new mate. She loved him so much, he made her happy and even gave her extra training.


"Thorntail! Whitefeather!" The Clan cheered. They were now warriors and Thorntail was expecting kits.

It was miserable, and three of her kits died during the kitting, Thorntail was in pain and agony. She didn't care about the remaining kit. She named her Rosekit, because her fur was red-brown and she had an ombre tail.

Thorntail sighed. Her kit suckled her milk and Thorntail was really weak.

"Mama?" Rosekit asked.

"Yes, dear?" Thorntail replied sleepily.

"When do I become an apprentice?" she asked.

"Soon, my dear, soon."

"I love you mama." Rosekit mewed.

"I love you too, Rosekit. My perfect little kit." Thorntail mewed.


"Rosepaw! What happened? " Thorntail cried. My perfect kit is not perfect anymore..

"My leg is lame, I fell out of a tree." Rosepaw meowed.

"Whitefeather!" Thorntail cried.

"What?" Whitefeather meowed as she walked over.

"What did you do to my kit?" Thorntail asked.

"I let her climb" Whitefeather replied shrugging.

"You knew she wasn't ready." Thorntail meowed.


Thorntail and Rosepaw left the Clan that day. Thorntail gave Rosepaw a new name.

"Rosethorn, that is your new name." she meowed. "We'll get revenge on Whitefeather one day, and her kit's kits."


Rosethorn mourned for her mother, her mother died after being chased by dogs. Rosethorn kept her promise though, getting revenge for her mother, she lured one of Whitefeather's daughter's kits, Thistleleaf, but Rosethorn loved Thistleleaf, as a mother.

In the DarkForest, Thorntail was the leader and trained Clan cats, she trained one of the most important cat, Lunarshine. Rosethorn hated SkyClan, Whitefeather and her kits, Songlily and Lightdawn.
