Wow, I am actually updating quickly. Here is Chapter Eight, and the preview y'all got last chapter doesn't go with the chapter because I found a way to make the chapter better. But it meant changing the words, so the preview is wrong. Okay, this chapter is in Goldenkit's point of view. Oh, I just found out that I might be able to change schools. The school I went to for seventh grade..I hate it. But the school I want to go to is sooooooooo much better. Oops. Rambling on. Okay, here is Chapter Eight. Enjoy.

Chapter Eight

Goldenkit felt a stab of guilt as she watched the black she-cat in front of her pad back into the medicine den, tail dragging and head sagging. Hollykit was probably in a lot of pain and having to go back into the den to do nothing was not going to help at all. Goldenkit was starting to feel bad about attacking her sister, just because StarClan chose her to be a medicine cat. I am so sorry, Hollykit, she wailed inside. I should never had done that.

The only reason why she had even tried to kill Hollykit was so she could be a medicine cat, to be able to be the one who got to live in the scent of herbs, training under the watchful eye of Jayfeather. She had killed Mosspaw so the position could be open, and then set her sights on her sibling when she learned that StarClan favored her more. Hollykit was lucky to survive, though she seemed to have no recollection of the attack.

Good, Goldenkit thought. At least she won't tell the Clan I was her attacker. I would be kicked out of the Clan, and then I would never be a medicine cat. The brambles swooshed as Hollykit entered the medicine cave, disappearing from view. Molepaw followed after her moments later, a large mouse in his jaws. Goldenkit could see that it was going to be a delicious meal for Hollykit, and maybe Jayfeather if the black kit became full.

Jayfeather waited for Molepaw to leave his den before entering himself, probably to give Hollykit her medicine. Another stab of guilt clawed at Goldenkit as she thought of the amount of herbs her sister would have to take for the pain she caused.

Molepaw was heading for his sibling, but Goldenkit blocked the way so he couldn't. "What?" Molepaw asked, narrowing his eyes at the kit. "I want to talk to Cherrypaw." Goldenkit made sure to look as innocent as she could, so the apprentice would lose some of his temper. It worked. "What?" he asked her again, his voice more gentle than it was heartbeats before.

Goldenkit replied, "Did Hollykit say anything while you were in there? Was she in a lot of pain?" She wanted to know if anything was wrong with her sibling. It was all her fault that Hollykit was in the medicine den anyway.

"She said that she was going to be bored out of her mind for the whole time she was going to be under Jayfeather's care. She was acting stiff some," Molepaw answered, "but I don't know how hurt Hollykit is." With that, he pushed Goldenkit aside and padded over to Cherrypaw, acting as if their conversation had never happened. Goldenkit hissed, angered by his rudeness. Molepaw was always acting like a jerk to her and her sisters, thinking that just because he was an apprentice, he was so much better than them. Well he's not. Cherrypaw doesn't act like that. So why should he?

The gray tabby looked around the camp for something to do. It was probably too early to visit Hollykit; Jayfeather was going to be with her sister awhile, Goldenkit bet. Honeykit was talking with Cinderheart and Lionblaze, and Goldenkit saw that her parents' eyes were filled with worry for their injured daughter. Near them, Cloudtail and Brightheart were sharing tongues, but they soon were called for a patrol with Thornclaw and Blossomleaf. Bramblestar was sitting on the Highledge, Squirrelflight by his side, watching over the camp, his amber eyes glowing in the light.

Goldenkit finally found something to do after a few moments. She was going to ask the elders to tell her a story about the time in the old forest. Maybe Honeykit can join me. She ran over to her sister and parents. The three felines looked up as she approached, skidding to a stop heartbeats later.

Looking at Honeykit, she asked, "Do you want to come with me and see if Sandstorm will tell us a story?" She stared at her sister with pleading eyes. She didn't want to go by herself, and Hollykit was too injured to go with her. Luckily, Honeykit nodded. The two siblings walked over to the elders' den and entered. Goldenkit let her eyes get accustomed to the dim light before padding around the branched the opened up to the main part of the den.

Sandstorm, Dustpelt, Leafpool, Graystripe, and Ferncloud were laying in their nests. Dustpelt and Ferncloud were asleep, their pelts brushing close together as they walked in their own dreams. Graystripe, Leafpool, and Sandstorm were discussing Hollykit's health, but turned to look at the two kits, their eyes brightening at the sight of them. Honeykit shifted her paws beside Goldenkit, telling the gray kit that her sister was a little nervous. Goldenkit understood why. The elders could get crabby sometimes and the Clan could never really tell what time to approach the old warriors, lest they get yelled at for disturbing the cats. Goldenkit hoped this was a good time. Judging by their eyes, I can guess it is okay.

Sandstorm spoke first, her voice cracking with age. "What do you two want?" Then, locking eyes with Goldenkit, asked, "And how is young Hollykit. It is hard when a young cat gets injured so soon. The damage could get permanent."

"We were wondering if you could tell us a story," Honeykit replied.

"And Hollykit is fine. She was outside a moment ago, but Jayfeather said she had to go inside, or her wounds might open up," Goldenkit added. Sandstorm nodded her head, closing her eyes for a moment, then opened them.

Leafpool said to her mother, "Tell them about the time BloodClan attacked." Goldenkit squealed with delight. This was what she called a story. Honeykit seemed to agree. She was lashing her tail from right to left with excitement.

Sandstorm started the story. "It was Tigerstar's fault that BloodClan had even come to the forest. He was trying to unite the Clans to become one super Clan: TigerClan. RiverClan had joined TigerClan first, seeing as ShadowClan was already under Tigerstar's control, because he was leader. Well, WindClan and ThunderClan wouldn't join him and his Clan. Tigerstar needed a way to force the other Clans to join him. So he and Boulder journeyed to TwolegPlace to get BloodClan to help him after Boulder told him about the ruthless group of cats. Scourge, the leader of BloodClan agreed to help.

"So, after ThunderClan and WindClan refused to join once again, BloodClan filed behind TigerClan. Tigerstar had ordered for BloodClan to attack, but since Scourge was leader of the group, they would not move. Tigerstar decreed Scourge a traitor and went to attack the small cat, but Scourge clawed down from Tigerstar's shoulder to his belly and Tigerstar's nine lives were gone. Scourge had told the Clans that they had three days to leave the forest or be killed in a battle. The four Clans joined together to make LionClan, and with Firestar as the leader, the battle began."

Goldenkit listened to the story, round-eyed. This was interesting. Firestar was a great leader, and to hear how he led the four Clans into battle to decide the Clans' fate was amazing. "What happened next?" she asked, ready to hear the rest.

Sandstorm continued.

"BloodClan had very good fighters, making up for the lack of number they had. They had started clawing and killing our warriors quickly, and we were starting to lose warriors. We had lost Whitestorm, the Clan deputy at the time. Firestar made Graystripe deputy after that and Graystripe killed Bone, the cat that killed Whitestorm. Firestar began to realize that they were losing the battle, and the only way to stop it was to kill Scourge. He found Scourge and they fought. Scourge had taken a life from Firestar, but didn't think that Firestar would get up and fight again. That was Scourge's weakness. He didn't believe in StarClan.

"So Firestar fought Scourge again and this time he killed the cat. One of Scourge's followers saw that its leader was dead and the battle stopped. It was then that I, and the rest of the Clans, could tell that Firestar was the fire that would save the Clan. But he didn't just save ThunderClan. He saved all the Clans." The story ended.

Goldenkit sat there amazed. Firestar, the leader before their current one, had saved the Clans from a horrible group of Clans? He was amazing like everyone said he was. She rose from her spot next to Sandstorm, but not before thanking the elder for the amazing tale. Honeykit followed her example and the two of them left the elders' den.

It was close to dusk when they entered the clearing. Most of the Clan were retreating to their dens. Goldenkit thought it was best time to visit Hollykit before she had to retreat to the nursery for the rest of the night. She padded over to the medicine den and entered.

Hollykit was laying in her nest flicking a moss ball. Jayfeather was at the back of the cave, sorting through leaves. Hollykit looked up as Goldenkit approached her sister. "Hey, Goldenkit," the black she-cat meowed. Goldenkit raised her tail in greeting.

"How are you feeling?" she asked. Hollykit seemed to look better than what she had this morning. She even seemed to act less stiff than what Molepaw had told her.

"A lot better," her sister replied. "Whoever attacked me didn't leave many marks so Jayfeather didn't have to put so much dock on. But he did give me two little black seeds that made me sleep." Goldenkit knew what those seeds were.

"He gave you poppy seed," she told Hollykit.

"And I have to give her more so she can sleep for the night." Jayfeather walked over to Hollykit's nest. "You are going to have to leave," he informed Goldenkit. The blind medicine cat gave Hollykit two more poppy seeds.

Goldenkit ran her tail along Hollykit's side before leaving the den. It was darker than when she entered the medicine cave. The stars were beginning to dot the sky. Goldenkit glanced over to the nursery and saw that Honeykit was motioning her to come over. "Cinderheart says it time to come in."

The two sisters entered the nursery together, and Goldenkit was beginning to think that maybe things would actually get better. Maybe, just maybe, things will get back to normal.

Goldenkit seems to have a change of heart. But don't worry, that changes later on. So you'll have to live with her being sweet for some chapters. Also, don't forget the poll. I have like all the cats in ThunderClan on there so you get to decide who dies next under the claws of a murderer. Who is it? You don't get to know yet because there are not enough votes. The voting will have to be done before chapter thirteen. Okay, well I will have the next chapter done by next week. So, BYE! : ) ( :
