Amberkit watched Petalkit's small shape sleeping in a mossy nest. The medicine cat had been unable to save her right eye, and ThunderClan was furious. Amberkit gazed at Petalkit's scarred face and felt anger boil up inside her. How would the small creamy kit react? The clan had long forgotten the moves that had been taught to Brightheart, a cat with similar injuries. Now, with a possible war against ShadowClan, the clan couldn't afford to spend time training Petalkit. The creamy kit stirred, and opened her good eye slowly. She looked around.

"Why can't I see out of my right eye, Amberkit?" Petalkit mewed, her voice rising. "What's the matter with it?" Amberkit gazed at Petalkit sadly.

"Well, you know when that ShadowClan warrior clawed you?" she mewed slowly. Petalkit nodded slowly, fear flashing in her yellow eye as she remembered the incident.

"Well, when he clawed your face, he… scratched your eye. Iceflower and Fawnpaw couldn't save it, I'm sorry," Amberkit mewed, hanging her head. She felt Petalkit's pain as the kit wailed in grief.

"Now I can never become a warrior," she sobbed. "I'm just a useless kit, now and for the rest of my life."

Iceflower had fed Petalkit some poppy seeds for the pain, and to calm her down. Morningcloud had come to talk to Iceflower, so Amberkit left. She walked outside, and blinked. The light of the setting sun was casting rays over the camp the colour of blood. As she walked into the nursery, she was swarmed by her littermates.

"Is Petalkit okay? What does she look like?" pestered Ravenkit.

"How is she? Is she sad?" nagged Cinderkit. Amberkit held up her tail, trying to make them be quiet. Seeing as Petalkit was her friend, she was the only one that had been allowed to visit the kit, other than her mother.

"Iceflower and Fawnpaw couldn't save Petalkit's eye. So now, she only has one, and can't become a warrior. She doesn't look bad, just different. And she was pretty sad when I left," Amberkit mewed, raising her voice above the noise in the nursery. Everyone quieted down.

"S-She can't become a warrior?" whispered Sandkit.

"Oh, this is all my fault!" she wailed, and ran outside. Poppystem was squeezing through the entrance. Sandkit barrelled into her. Poppystem moved out the way with a surprised look on her face. Amberkit walked over to her.

"Mother, what will happen to Petalkit?" she asked, worried for her friend. Poppystem flicked her tail.

"I don't know Amberkit, I just don't know."

Amberkit buried her nose in Fawnpaw's cold fur, feeling a pang of sadness. The medicine cat apprentice had been killed by a fox that had been wandering around on the territory. Fawnpaw was a major loss to the clan. Now they didn't have a medicine cat successor. Around her, her clanmates settled down to sit vigil for the kind brown apprentice. Amberkit stepped back to let others pay their respects. Fawnpaw's family crowded around, sobbing. Amberkit prepared to sit vigil.

"Amberkit, are you sure you want to sit vigil tonight?" asked Poppystem. Amberkit nodded.

"Fawnpaw was nice to me, and I liked her," she mewed, settling down for her vigil.

"Well, the others want to sleep in the nursery tonight, so I'm going to look after them. I know you'll be fine out here tonight." Amberkit nodded again. Poppystem licked her cream and ginger head and went to pay her respects to Fawnpaw.

Amberkit could hear crickets chirping. The moonlight shone down on the clearing, turning Fawnpaw's fur silver. Amberkit could almost feel Fawnpaw's spresence, and it seemed like the friendly young apprentice would raise her head at any moment. She felt sad that the apprentice had to go so early. But maybe there is something good about this. Every cloud has a silver lining. Amberkit thought hard. What's good about the medicine cat apprentice dying? Amberkit shook her head and rested her chin on her ginger paws, settling down again.

As the sun broke over the horizon, casting its rays through the trees, Amberkit sat up with a jolt. Of course! Petalkit can be the next medicine cat apprentice!

Once the elders had carried Fawnpaw's lifeless body out of the camp, Amberkit turned and padded into the nursery.

"Mother!" she called. Poppystem raised her reddish head. She blinked sleep from her green eyes and gazed at her daughter.

"What is it?" Poppystem asked groggily.

"Petalkit can be the clan's next medicine cat! She can still serve the clan!" Amberkit mewed, feeling excited for her friend.

"That's certainly true," Poppystem replied, now fully awake. "I'll tell Iceflower soon," she promised. Amberkit nodded and settled down for a sleep.

Amberkit padded through a starry forest. She looked around curiously, wondering where she was. It didn't seem like ThunderClan territory.

"Hello Amberkit," mewed a familiar voice. Amberkit turned to see Fawnpaw.

"Oh, hello. What are you doing today, Fawnpaw?" she mewed.

"Amberkit, I'm dead. A fox killed me," Fawnpaw reminded gently.

"Wait- I'm in StarClan? Why didn't I notice before?"

Fawnpaw purred. "I've come to deliver a… prophecy to you. I'll let you know that I can't tell you what it means, only that you will figure it out. Have faith, little one." Fawnpaw seemed to have gained wisdom way beyond her age.

"A prophecy?" Amberkit asked curiously.

Fawnpaw's eyes glowed as she replied. "The amber flower must save the clans from falling to the shadows. There is only one way to defeat the shadows, to destroy the darkness deep in its heart."

Amberkit looked at the former medicine cat apprentice inquisitively. "Wha-"

"You must go back now, Amberkit. Have faith," Fawnpaw repeated. Amberkit nodded, and mewed goodbye. Fawnpaw waved her tail as the starry forest around her began to fade. Soon only Fawnpaw was left, gazing at Amberkit. The amber flower must save the clans from falling to the shadows. There is only one way to defeat the shadows, to destroy the darkness deep in its heart.

Amberkit woke with a start, gazing groggily around the nursery. The sunlight streaming through the entrance told her that it was a sunny day outside. Did I really just see Fawnpaw and receive a prophecy? Amberkit didn't know what to do. She wished she had Fawnpaw to confide in, but of course, Fawnpaw already knew. Amberkit used to tell Fawnpaw lots of things. I'll keep it to myself for now, Amberkit decided.

AN: Okay, so that's chapter three! Hope all you readers out there liked it, please review and give me some tips!

As I don't have a real… plan for this story, I'm pretty much always open to suggestions. Don't be afraid to give me some!

Thanks, Cindeh out.
