Sootstar's life

by Feather That Falls From Crow

This a prequel to ShadeClan- A Clan Against the Code, but you can read them in any order! Sootkit knew he was different from the other kits, his mother was a rogue, or so he was told, and his life as an apprentice isn't much better either, He has to prove himself countless times that he's worthy to be a warrior, or die trying. (This is pretty much just about his life)

1. Prologue

Sootfur, a dark gray tom looked down at the light gray flecked furred body laying below him, blood gushing out of several wounds, the main one being a deep gash on the she-cat's neck.

"Sootfur, I know there isn't much hope for me to live, so I want to tell you the truth, right here, right now. Sootfur you are my son. You were a secret, and I'm sorry for that… But If I didn't choose to give you up when you were born I couldn't have been made deputy… So I wanted to tell you, here as I take my final breath, I am your mother, and I know you'll make a great leader… I'm sorry."

The dark gray tom stay quiet for a moment, letting his leader, his mother's voice sink in. "I am your mother…" Why did she say that? Could it be true that his beloved leader was his mother?

"Rainstar, please don't die, and what do you mean? My mother was a rogue, I had to prove myself to become deputy, you can't be saying the truth!" Sootfur watched the pain flood his leader's eyes.

"Sootfur, you are my son… Your mother was never a rogue, it was me, and I know you'll lead ShadeClan with all the courage you got from me."

Rainstar's eyed closed, and Sootfur laid his head on her fur, the rogue that killed his leader, his mother, wouldn't live much longer once he caught him.
