Here's chapter two! This is a Shadowclan cats POV btw and even though my main main character is in thunderclan, I have lots of important oc's in Shadowclan too.

Flarekit huddled up next to Dustyrose, his mother, but unlike her he was wide-awake. He could see Blackkit, Softkit and Ashkit curled up next to snowbird. The way they huddled together made him a bit sad.
Why did they get littermates? Why didn't I get littermates? Flarekit thought. He was the only one his mother gave birth to and even though Blackkit was his best friend, it wasn't like having a littermate.
If I had a littermate who would it be? He thought. Blackkit? No, they were best friends but he was too cheeky and Flarekit didn't want to be the one to always get him out of trouble. Softkit? No, Softpaw may have been named soft but her claws were only rivalled by smokefoot's. He didn't want to get into a fight with her as softkit's temper was about as sharp as her claws.
Ashkit? No. She was too good at sneaking around, he would never find her if they decided to play hide and seek and because she was so stubborn she wouldn't come out on her own until he found her.
Slashpaw? No too weird… Redpaw? No too kind. Not that that was a bad thing, but he would always worry if he hurt me. Flarekit sighed. He was never going to find a sibling.
He could feel himself getting depressed so he quickly tried to think of something else. Uuh… think, think! Oh yeah! The thingy I can do with my voice! A few nights ago Flarekit got lost in the snow. He had felt like wailing as the chill seeped through his bones. And so he did wail, but it came out as a string of soft yowls, which he quickly learnt to form into words.
Ashkit had heard him and came running over. She was surprised at first about his voice but soon got used to it. She even said she liked it! He thought. So far though, she was the only one who knew.
He quietly slipped out of the den and as soon he was outside the camp he sprinted towards the big rock that had a hollow underneath it. Flarekit loved the scents that washed past him as he ran. The dense smell of the trees and the marsh.
He reached the big rock, and slipped quietly into the hollow underneath it. He sank softly into the leaves and bracken that covered the ground.
As Flarekit looked out from underneath the big rock, a small glow caught his eye. The glow was joined by more and more small glows until they lit up all around the big rock. Fireflies! Flarekit thought in wonder. He had never seen fireflies before.
As the little kit stared in wonder at the small bugs before his eyes, they flew around and formed small patterns. What was going on? The patterns formed and changed and formed again.
The patterns became clearer. There was the shape of five cats. The fireflies shifted again and showed the five cats making what looked like yowling sounds. Suddenly the bugs formed a vertical line with a circle at the bottom of it (a musical note).
As Flarekit watched, a large cat shape formed, away from the five. It looked like it had smaller cats crushed between its claws. Flarekit shuddered. The five other cats yowled again and the note blew straight for the large cat.
Then the fireflies slipped quietly through the trees until their lights faded out. Flarekit stood stock still, his kit-brain working to figure out what in starclan just happened. Then he got it. Starclan! Maybe a prophecy? The though of being part of something that important made him excited.
Then something brushed by his ear. Bristling he spun around, which was surprisingly easy for being in a small hollow.
As he backed up against the wall, staring into the darkness, a small glow lit up the back of the hollow. A lone firefly buzzed softly. Flarekit smiled, it was like the sun for his hollow. The bug flew towards him then turned around and headed through a small passage at the back of the hollow.
Squeezing through the gap he follow the dim glow emitting off the firefly. Finally he smelled that telltale smell of marsh. As he pushed through one last opening, he popped out onto the top of the big rock.
Wow! No one has ever been up here before! It was so big no one could get up! Flarekit thought. Silverpelt looked a bit like millions of the little fireflies stuck in the deep blue lake. He opened his mouth and let a melody flow out.
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude, but I would just stand and stareI'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they try to teach me how to danceA foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a threadI'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleepTo ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
(They said farewell)But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
(A jar)I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams…
Flarekit finished the strange voicey thing when he noticed the small firefly that stayed swaying to the tune. He smiled, until he heard anther small song floating through the air.
He could only just hear it but it was there. It sounded like it was coming from across the border, from somewhere in thunderclan territory.
Were there others who could do the voice thing? Maybe they knew something about the prophecy?

The song is called fireflies by owl city. If you want to watch flarekit singing it here is the link: .edu/projects/62590364/
