Chapter 10

"Get up mommy! Get up! It's sunhigh!" Thruskit nudged her.

Dawnstream woke up startled. "Oh, it's just you." Thrushkit bounced to entrance. " Look! Nightfall said that this is snow! Whoa!"

Dawnstream chuckled. " Yes. And guess what, I think you're ready for fresh-kill. The hunting patrol is probably here by now. "

Frostkit squealed." Nightfall's coming! I can't wait to eat fresh-kill!"

Nightfall padded in with a vole and a big thrush. He dropped the vole infront of Dawnstream, knowing that it was her favorite. The trush was big enough for all three of the kits ,and they started smelling it. Meadowkit sat down. "What is this father?"

Nightfall licked his daughter, "It is a thrush sweetie." He glanced at Thrushkit as his eyes sparkled. He took the first bite. "Mmm! This is good! Try it Meadowkit."

Thrushkit had ignored Frostkit and this made Dawnstream mad. Frostkit was good just like the others and to her surprise Frostkit took a bite. "Mommy! This delicious." Meadowkit took her bite and kept on eating.

"Greyfeather, um, will you look after the kits for a few heartbeats? I have to talk to Nightfall." Dawnstream meowed. Greyfeather nodded and Rocktail came with prey in his jaws. He was Greyfeather's mate and he had brought prey just like Nightfall. Nightfall padded out as Dawnstream followed. They went out of camp to EarthClan's border. Dawnstream tasted the air to find Falconclaw's scent.

"I was on the hunting patrol today and I saw Falconclaw. He said to meet us a little bit after sunhigh. " Nightfall meowed.

Dawnstream nodded and sat down. Falconclaw came out of the muddy ground, his paws brown and wet. He was a broad shouldered brown and black tom. His eyes were light brown and the tip of his ear was black. He looked different than other cats. "Greetings, my killer. " he glared at Dawnstream. Dawnstream shook her head. "No, I didn't kill you. If I would have you wouldn't be here, though I thought I had."

Falconclaw scraped his paw against a stone clearing his muddy black paws. " Dawnstream, Nightfall, I am no ordinary cat. I am not a cat with only one life. It's hard to explain. I have five lives left. And no, I wasn't a leader."

Nightfall gasped. "But, that's impossible!" Falconclaw sat down. "My father was the former leader of EarthClan, Woodstar. He ran away completely when we were attacked by AirClan and WaterClan. He still had three lives left, the rest, I had it. StarClan accepted me to have the lives. I was in a prophecy, I won't tell you but, it is quite dangerous." He hesitated. "Dawnstream, can I talk to you alone?"

Dawnstream looked at Nightfall, speechless and followed Falconclaw to the bushes.

"What is it?" She asked.

"To understand the prophecy, I need to travel away to a place where it's loud, really loud. StarClan told me that there is a twoleg nest that makes a lot of sounds. It's quite far away, and..and I want you to come with me."

Dawnstream's eyes widened. Me? She thought. She wouldn't walk all the way to twoleg place! It wasn't right! She loved Nightfall, not Falconclaw. "No, sorry Falconclaw. But I'm needed here, I have kits to nurse.

Falconclaw twitched his whiskers. "I know, so after three moons, they'll become apprentices, right? So after they are, we could go when you're out of the nursery."

Dawnstream hissed. "No way! I don't even know you that much!"

Falconclaw growled. "I love you Dawnstream! Don't you get it? You don't need Nightfall! The prophecy is to be a leader, I could be a leader of EarthClan with all the power I have. If you were with me, we could rule the forest, together!"

Dawnstream took a step back, this cat was evil. Surely StarClan wouldn't let him be ruler of the forest. That just might be his intention, he is probably using the power StarClan gave him for bad reasons! No way! "No way! I don't love you! I love Nightfall! You're evil! Evil you got that? And if I have to, I'll kill you over and over again if I have to. You will never rule the forest understand?" She ran to Nightfall, flicked her tail telling him to follow. He obeyed but was also confused. She stopped when the trees were covering them and touched her nose to his. She explained everything to him. He kept on unsheathing claws. "I'll kill him if I have to!" Dawnstream shook her head. "I'll take care of it. I love you, and only you. Now the kits will be wondering where we were." Dawnstream also told Nightfall about Frostkit, how she was neglected by her littermates. Nightfall agreed to their plan.

They walked in and found the bones of the thrush. Her vole was also finished with the scent of Frostkit.

"Frostkit! Why did you eat mine?" Frostkit shivered, her ears flattened. "Well, Meadowkit and Trushkit wouldn't let me eat the trush, and I was so hungry that I had to eat the vole." Meadowkit and Thrushkit glared at Frostkit with evil eyes.

Nightfall took Frostkit outside the camp. Meadowkit stomped the ground with her paw. "Where is daddy taking her?" Dawnstream rushed out to get a small mouse and ran back to eat it. " He's taking her out to camp, to introduce her to the clan."

Thrushkit crucnched his nose. "But why her, and not us?"

"Because, you're not allowed to go outside, I forbid you to for a moon. Treating your sister like she's a ghost will be a consequence. She is also your sister, and she's no different than any other kit."

Thrushkit wailed. "But! I want to go outside and play!"

"No, you've been bad. I'm sorry, but I won't let her be all alone. She is also my kit. I love you all equally, but sometimes, I have to be a bad EarthClan warrior. Think about that."

Meadowkit puffed and curled up into sleep. Thrushkit did the same, except he was resting only. Nightfall and Frostkit padded in. Froskit had a butterfly in her jaw and dropped it infront of Dawnstream. Look! I caught it! We were at a grassy area, where the sun shone the most and a butterfly was flutering on top of Lilynose, while she was snoozing! Haha!" she laughed. She picked up the butterfly and put it on the corner covering it with a big thick leaf. She cuddled with her mother and soon fell asleep.

Dawnstream nodded at Nightfall and he padded away.

(Dawnstream's POV) Yes, I want to have her POV...

"Haha! Good catch!" I yelled. They were hunting together, like they had before. She had missed it and remembered the good times she had with him. Unfortunately, Echostar said they could hunt at the Dew place, where it was muddy and gooey, basically near the EarthClan territory. I never wanted to see Falconclaw again. EVER!

But, of course, with her luck he did appear. "Dawnstream!" I spun around with her shrew. She dropped it with her other prey and padded to him. Nightfall padded beside me and he unsheathed his claws quietly.

"Keep your fur on, I can tell she told you about our last meeting." He curled his tail to his paws.

"What do you want?" I asked impatiently.

"You ALSO need to keep your fur on…" he retorted.

"What do you want?" I repeated.

"Dawnstream, I love you, and I want you to choose one of us to be with."

Hey, i'm very happy you guys add me to your favorites and I have reviews...a couple but no one has sent me any names! I repeat! Names for clan cats, rogues, kittypets and humans!

If I choose your name, you'll be in the credits section! Please do this and happy birthday! (Who's b-day?) ;)
