Hey everybody! Thanks for reviewing! Yeah, Molepaw does die in the books, but anything can happen in a fanfic. :D Also, Molekit and Cinderkit don't know they're reincarnated, they just know something's wrong with them.
I don't own Warriors.
Cinderkit's P.O.V.
Wake up, Cinderkit.
Who was that?
I opened my eyes. I stared through the darkness, trying to find the cat who said that. It might have been one of my littermates, but they all appeared to be sleeping. Worry swirled faintly in my belly. Or maybe that was hunger, I thought as my belly rumbled loudly.
Today's an important day.
I whipped around frantically. There it was again! "Who was that?" I whispered aloud.
"Are you okay?" Molekit muttered as he started to wake up. Oops.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I muttered, feeling a hot flush of embarrassment run across my cheeks. Hopefully my brother didn't see it through my fur.
Molekit stood up and stretched luxuriously, his mouth open in a huge yawn. He blinked twice, as if adjusting to the darkness. "Do you want to go outside?"
"Yeah," I agreed. He began to walk our from our den and into the clearing. I quickly bounded after him.
He was sitting and staring up at the last few stars before dawn came. Molekit turned to me. "I feel like something weird's going to happen today."
I stiffened in suprise. Did he hear that voice, too? "Yeah, same here."
My belly growled again. I look at my paws in embarassment when Molekit purred with amusement. "I'll go get a mouse," he offered, beginning to trot away. "We can share it."
I nodded in agreement and watched him pad across camp. He stopped in front of the fresh-kill pile and examined it. Suddenly, he swiftly turned and stared cautiously at the camp's thorny entrance. I stiffened in alarm. Was there an intruder? Where was the guard? What if it's a fox or a badger?
Molekit seemed to relax and almost be relieved once he recognized whatever it was outside. He mewed something and cats began to trot into camp. I watched in awe as two warriors and three kits, almost my age, padded into the clearing. Molekit came running to me.
"Cinderkit! Firestar's daughters are here!" he gasped. He then called loudly to the clan. "Squirrelflight and Leafpool are back!"
Whitepaw and Birchpaw poked their heads out from inside the apprentice den. They rushed out into camp and meowed their welcomes to the sisters. Whitepaw cooed in delight at the three kits.
Warriors began to pad out from the warrior den. Brambleclaw purred when he saw Squirrelflight. He padded over to his mate and licked her gently on the ear. It all happened so fast that it confused me.
Finally, Firestar himself emerged from his den. He padded to the edge of Highledge, his ginger pelt almost silver in the dawn's light. His voice rang around the hollow clearly as he adressed his clan. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath Highledge for a Clan meeting!"
"We've never caught our own prey," Molekit mewed sadly. He bagan to walk back towards the nursery, his tail dragging. I purred loudly in amusement.
"C'mon, Molekit," I mewed, cuffing his ear playfully. "Let's go!"
His eyes smiled. He raced off to sit by our mother, Sorreltail, who was already waiting under Highledge for the meeting. I dashed after him and sat down between him and Honeykit.
"My daughters have returned from their journey," Firestar's voice echoed. "Squirrelflight has given birth to three kits; Lionkit, Jaykit, and Hollykit."
The clan cheered. Firestar continued once they quiet down. "Squirrelflight will move into the nursery with Sorreltail and her kits. Meeting dismissed." He leaped down from Highledge and padded over to greet his kin.
Poppykit turned to me and Honeykit. "They mentioned us in the clan meeting!"
Honeykit squealed with excitement. "Let's go visit the new kits!" Poppykit nodded in agreement. I turned to Molekit, who's eyes glinted with mischief.
"I'll go get that mouse now," he promised. I purred.
"Okay, I'll meet you in the nursery." I mewed before padding after my sisters. Once we reached the nursery, we got a close look at Squirrelflight's kits. Two of them were toms, one gray with blue eyes, and the other ginger with yellow eyes. The third was a black she-kit with holly-green eyes. They were all several moons younger than me.
Molekit came up behind me and dropped the mouse. His eyes twinkled when he saw the kits. He turned to me. "I think this might be that weird thing that was going to happen today."
My eyes widened. "You're right!" I turned back to the kits. Something told me they weren't ordinary kits. They were something else.
Yay! Second chapter! The next chapter will be Molekit's point of view again, as he's pretty much the main character. Also, it will be a longer chapter 'cause I have lots to put in it. If you have any questions, I'll answer them when I post the next chapter. I hope you enjoy, and remember to R&R! ~ Scruffs
