Chapter One
A dark grey she-cat padded down the seemingly endless road. How she was even doubting the savor of all the clans she didn't know, but she couldn't risk it. She just couldn't!
"Yellowfang?" a deep voice broke through to the grey cat's ears. The she-cat froze to her spot,then shivered. "What are you doing here Raggedstar?" she asked, turning around to look at the former love of her life.
"I could ask you the same thing. You doubt the prophecy, don't you?" He asked, a frown forming on his features. He padded forward, coming closer until he touched his nose to Yellowfang's head.
Yellowfang wasn't going to break, she snapped back into the wall she always put up. She wasn't going to pour her heart out to Raggedstar. She'd done that once, and that had gotten her to give birth to a monster.
"I don't doubt it, but I want to be safe,rather than sorry." she meowed, sitting down and drawing her tongue over her paw.
"Fire alone will save the clans... It's true, Firestar did save us, more than I can count, but ..." Yellowfang stopped. She was doubting Firestar. Why was she doing it? She had always believed in the flame colored cat before, and he'd never let her down.
So why was she letting him down? Listening to what a Skyclan cat said? Maybe she saw truth in Honeyleaf's words. Those wreched words that wouldn't leave her head. Fire will destroy the clans, not save them.
"But...?" Raggedstar promoted. "Nothing." Yellowfang irritably replied, flicking her tail as she got back up. "Let's go back, I'm not even sure why I would believe in a Skyclan cat." She meowed, but deep down, Yellowfang couldn't help but believe Honeyleaf's words.
The former Shadowclan cat laid a glance over her shoulder as she paced back the way she came, Raggedstar right behind her.
"And so, the brave leader of Thunderclan bounced foreward, and killed, Tigerstar." Snowdove meowed in a low voice. Skykit of Shadowclan rolled her eyes at her mother's interest in such a story. "I'm bored,mom!" she said, her voice turning into a yawn at the end. It was almost dawn, and to a Shadowclan cat, the light was their night.
"Don't you like the story?" Snowdove asked. "Hmm." Skykit said, her head held high. "I hear it every day, so no. It's always Firestar this, Firestar that, Firestar saved, blah blah blah!" She exclaimed, huffing and puffing.
"I like the story mama." Driftkit, Skykit's litter-mate piped up. "Of course you like it, you like everything that mom says." Skykit pointed out, lazily rolling around, a smirk plastered on her faace. She was of course, the more confident sister.
"Do not!" "Do to!" "Do not!" Do to!" Snowdove's face went from a smile to a frown quickly as her kits began to bicker again. "Will you shut them up?!" Stonestream, the other queen in the nursery asked, her voice like venom.
Stonestream was the other queen in the nursery, and her kits were a moon older than Snowdove's. Stonestream, other than Snowdove, hated the idea of sitting still, and she hated beign a queen.
She couldn't wait to get out of the nursery, while Snowdove dreaded the day she would have to leave the cosy nest she was sitting in. But, life had to go on, as usual.
She looked back to her kits and her eyes widened. Skykit was pinning Driftkit down, her paws on Driftkit's throat. "Skykit!" Snowdove screeched, pulling the runt off her eldest kit. Snowdove let Skykit drop onto the floor of the nursery.
"What? I was just proving a point!" she complained. Snowdove shook her head. "About what?" she asked through clenched teeth. She would have never imagined a kit like Skykit could be capable of such horrors.
"That just because I'm small, does not make me weak."
