An- Hope you guys like this story I have been working hard to get everyone's personality right. If I make a mistake please tell me.
Walking through the land of Starclan was a brown and red she-cat. Her ears pricked as she walked on wondering who had summoned her here. Looking around with amber eyes she then stopped as a black tom stood in front of her now. He looked at her with one good eye while the other was closed shut from an old scar.
"Blackstar" The she-cat meowed looking up at the Starclan warrior. Blackstar had been the leader before he died of old age. Looking down at her with blue eyes, he nodded his head.
"Stareyes." He started closing his good eyes. "There will be hard times ahead. Beware the eyes that turn red. For the eyes will try to kill your leader…" Blackstar could not finish before Stareyes interrupted him.
"WHAT?!" She yowled in shock her amber eyes wide with fear. "Please you must tell me what will happen and who those eyes belong to." Stareyes then meowed taking a step towards her old leader. "Please Blackstar. You must for the sake of my clan."
A black tail with a white tail tip touched her shoulder and the black tom shook his head. "I must not say anymore. Please take my warning to Nettlestar before it is too late." Blackstar mewed in a low voice shaking his head before the dream started to disappear.
"NO BLACKSTAR PLEASE COME BACK!" Stareyes yowled once more before she jerked her head up hearing her voice being called from outside the den.
"Stareyes you must come quickly. Its Snowfoot, she thinks her kits are coming." A dark gray with black under belly and on her face called. This made Stareyes jump up. "Get some borage quickly Shadepaw." She snapped quickly moving out of the den and towards the nursery.
Finding the white she-cat in pain, she crouched low and placed a soft paw against the she-cats stomach. "Don't worry Snowfoot everything will be all right." Stareyes mewed as Shadepaw showed up with several borage leaves in her mouth.
Snowfoot let out another yowl of pain before she looked at Stareyes. Who knew what the she-cat must have been thinking. What if the kits turned out to be like her or their father? Ragingfur who had retired early due to he was going blind.
However, before Stareyes could reassure Snowfoot another ear splitting yowl came from the snow-white she-cat.
"Shadepaw please go tell Ragingfur and bring him here." Stareyes meowed. Shadepaw nodded her head and took off towards the Elders den.
Stopping just outside she quickly entered the den. "Ragingfur." She called looking at a fiery red tom with black paws, and gray eye patches. The tom looked up at her with sightless blue eyes. "Yes Shadepaw?" The tom asked.
"Its Snowfoot her kits are coming." Shadepaw managed to say out of breathe from running back and forth. At his mates name he jumped up and got close to her. "Please lead the way." He then meowed fear in his sightless eyes.
Nodding her head Shadepaw let her tail rest on his shoulder as she leaded him across the clearing. As they got closer, she noticed that there was no more yowling. 'Did she already kit?' Shadepaw thought to herself.
As she led, Ragingfur in Shadepaw saw a golden tabby tom kit with a twisted leg. Her heart stopped seeing this. The smoky brown she-kit with cream-colored back and tail tip along with front paws, she also had something wrong with her. Her one front paw was twisted and it made her heart twist in pain looking at the two kits.
Ragingfur walked past her smelling his mate. Not listening she did not hear Stareyes tell the tom what his kits looked like and what may happen to them. It seemed not to bother the tom all that much. However, she could hear the snarl rising in his chest.
Quickly turning she left the nursery and headed towards the fresh-kill pile to get a mouse. On her way there, she saw Bramblepaw her best friend talking with her brother Shadowpaw. However, Bramblepaw's eyes never left Sunpaw's back as Sunpaw sat there eating a vole.
Walking up Shadowpaw lifted his head to look at her with light brown eyes. "Hello Shadepaw." He said in a kind voice nodding his head. Bramblepaw heard him and looked at Shadepaw. "Hey," She meowed jumping up and greeting her friend with a quick lick across Shadepaw's ears. "How did Snowfoot's kitting go?"
"It went fine." Shadepaw mewed before taking a bite of her mouse. "Did you hear that Cooperkit and Skykit are going to be apprentices soon?" Shadowpaw asked tilting his head to the side.
Looking up she notice that Shadowpaw as looking over at the kits. "No I did not notice. When is their ceremony?" She then asked looking at him.
"Should be today from the way Nettlestar talked." He meowed looking away from the kits and towards High branch. Where the golden brown tabby tom sat there waiting for the right time.
"Well I bet their mother will be very proud of them." Shadepaw meowed quickly gulping down the rest of her mouse before heading towards the camp entrance and ext. Telling Stareyes last night that she would get more poppy seeds.
-Sunhigh-
Shadepaw and just gotten back after looking all over Swiftclan land trying just to find the Poppy seeds that they needed. As she walked towards the medicine cat den, she heard a Yowl from her leader Nettlestar.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under the Highbranch for a Clan meeting." The Golden tabby tom said as cats started to gather. Seeing the coopery tom kit and his sister next to him. They looked up at their leader with their mother Shadowheart next to them still grooming their fur.
"It is time that two kits have received their apprentice names. Cooperkit and Skykit are now 6 moons old. Please come forward." The tom said looking down at the two kits. The blackish gray kit came up quicker then her brother. Looking up at her leader with blue eyes.
"From this day forward, until she has earned her warrior name, this apprentice will be called Skypaw. Moonlight will be her mentor, Moonlight I trust that you will pass on all your wisdom and skills. May you pass down all you know to this your apprentice." He then said as the brilliant grayish tom stepped forward and looked up at Nettlestar with light blue eyes.
Nodding his head, he bent to touch noses with the eager kit.
"And now." Nettlestar said. As he said that, the coopery tom looked up at his leader with green eyes.
"From this day forward, until he/she has earned his/her warrior name, this apprentice will be called Cooperpaw. Blossomfur will be his mentor; you are wise for your age. And have many strengths that makes you a great warrior. May you pass down all you know to this your apprentice." Nettlestar said as the longed hair white she-cat padded up looking up at her leader with amber eyes.
"I promise I will." She said looking down at Cooperpaw and touched noses with him.
Shadepaw then heard the apprentices chanting along with some warriors. "Cooperpaw, Skypaw." The loudest one among them was Sunpaw as he greeted Skypaw with a brisk lick.
Looking towards Bramblepaw she saw a very upset look on her friends face. Quickly Bramblepaw turned and headed towards the apprentice den not caring anymore about the new apprentices.
But before Shadepaw could go after her friend Stareyes quickly hurried over by Nettlestar. Whispering something in his ears.
Next to them was a pitch-black tom with onyx eyes that turned red in the sunlight. Demonsoul narrowed his eyes as he listened to Stareyes and quickly called a hunting patrol to him. Of Bloodstripe, and his apprentice Bramblepaw. Shadepaw felt a pang of sorrow as Bramblepaw heard her name called and followed her mentor and deputy out of the gorse tunnel.
Bramblepaw right before she left looked at Shadepaw and then turned and quickly followed her mentor. "Where are we going today?" She then asked catching up with them. "We are heading near the river." Demonsoul said after whispering something to Bloodstripe.
Bramblepaw nodded her head as they walked on. But what made her stop was hearing Demonsoul mutter something to Bloodstripe about killing Nettlestar. Eyes wide with fear she managed to find a way back to camp. She did not know what to do. About ready to reenter she ran right into Shadepaw and Sunpaw.
"Bramblepaw what's wrong?" Shadepaw asked looking at her friend. "I need to talk to you alone." Bramblepaw meowed in a low voice not looking at Sunpaw. As the two she-cats walked away Sunpaw stood there dumb found. Usually he was the one that Bramblepaw told everything too.
Shaking his head he went back into camp hoping that things would go back to normal. The orange tom watched his clan mates from the shadows wondering why Nettlestar was so scared now. 'Maybe it has something to do with what Bramblepaw wants to tell Shadepaw.' He thought tilting his head to the side.
But before he could say anything to anyone. Demonsoul and Bloodstripe returned along with Shadepaw and Bramblepaw. Walking up towards Bramblepaw he stopped hearing his leader yowl to start a clan meeting.
'Great what does he want now?' Sunpaw asked himself going to sit by Bramblepaw who seemed not to notice him. 'Whats wrong with her?' he thought again. His thoughts were broken when Nettlestar said. "I fear we have some dark times ahead of us."
AN:
Wow so bad or at least I think it was bad but it was ok for me. I am trying to keep it mostly on Shadepaw, and bramblepaw's point of view. Why?? Well it seems since Bramblepaw is Bloodstripes apprentice and Shadepaw is Stareyes I am thinking they would be best to be main characters in this story besides the deputy Demonsoul. Please no flames and if you have something to help me out with my story please tell me.
