The Cave Of Memories

Summary

Wildkit is on the run, she has been protected for years by ForestClan. But when she gets amnesia and forgets everything, will Wildkit regain her lost memories before RainClan catches up with her?

Whare Do I Come From?

I awake to Willowkit licking the tuft of fur on my head. I don't know when we fell asleep, but sunlight was streaming in through the entrance of the den. I yawn, stretch and turn to Willowkit with a serious expression on my face.

"Hay Willowkit, do you know where I was born?" I quietly asked, and Willowkit just blinks at me.

"We were both born in PineClan, but you were kidnapped by some rogue cats and we were told that ForestClan had found you outside of their borders in bad shape. Why did you ask?" Willow asks, and I looked down at my paws, narrowing my eyes in concentration.

"Well... I had a strange dream last night" I eventually replied and Willowkit nodded for me to continue.

"Well in the dream, me and you were in a birch forest forest and we ended up finding an abandon foxes den to stay in when it stared raining. And the next morning we fought a fox dispute only being five moons old" I explode, recalling the events of the dream, but it felt so real, like me and Willowkit had really fought a fox.

"When we arrived back in camp, our mother yelled at us and there was also a large tom cat who somehow knew me" I paused to let Willowkit process what I had just told her. Then after a few more moments of silence, I continued speaking.

"But the strange thing about that dream was that I feel like it was real, almost like me and you had actually snuck out of camp and got lost, found what I had assumed was an abandoned foxes den to stay in, waking up the next morning, fighting a fox and getting scolded by Firestorm" I said, staring at Willow with wide and confused eyes.

"Wildkit, that really did happen. It wasn't a dream, we snuck out of camp a few days before you got taken by those rogue cats" Willowkit says, and my eyes grew even wider and I smiled brightly at Willow, who's eyes shined with happiness.

"Willow, you know what that means" I say, and She nods with a wide smile on her face.

"It means that your memmory is coming back to you... well not all at once, but it's coming back in bits and peaces" Willowkit exclaims and in our excitement, me and Willowkit ran out of the nursery letting out excited squeals.

"Where's the fire you two" Snowstorm joked with a laugh, as she walked out from the warriors den. I laughed sheepishly and looked down at my paws.

"Sorry for waking you Snowstorm" I say, but the white she-cat just shook her head with an amused smile on her face.

"What in the name of StarClan is going on here?!" The three of us looked to see a black she-cat with icy blue eyes which were blazing with either anger and annoyance, I couldn't tell. She was the same age as me and Willowkit. Blackkit is terrifying when she gets angry, trust me, you NEVER want to get on her bad side.

"Sorry about that Blackkit, we were just excited because Shadowkit remembered something big about herself, we didn't overreact to much did we?" Willowkit replied with a sheepish smile on her face.

Blackkit's expression immediately brightened at that. "What did you remember Shadowkit?" She asked, staring at me and Willowkit with wide eyes.

"That me and Willow had snuck out of camp and got scolded by our mother for sneaking out of camp again" I answered with a small laugh, my ears grew hot when Blackkit started snickering softly, but she wasn't laughing at me, she laughing at the funny thing that I had remembered.

"What were her exact words to you and Willowkit when you returned to camp?" Blackkit asked with amusement shining in her eyes. I took a deep breath and repeated what Firestorm had said, and I was laughing so much that I could barely get the words past my laughter.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" I yelled in my best imitation of Firestorm, but It was hard trying to keep a straight face while repeating the words that Firestorm had yelled at me and Willowkit.

"WE'VE BEEN SEARCHING EVERYWHERE! AND YOU'RE HURT! DID YOU JUST GO AND HAVE A SLEEPOVER IN A FOXES DEN? STARCLAN, I THOUGHT I RAISED AT LEAST SLIGHTLY DISCIPLINED KITS, BUT NOPE!" I yelled, pretending to glair at Blackkit who had volunteered to play the role of a scolded kit. But do to our laughing fit the mock glair on my face soon faded away.

"W-wow! T-that sounded like she was furious with you two, but it didn't sound that bad do to us all bursting out laughing in the middle of it" Blackkit said, once she had calmed down enough to speak. I nodded my head, stilling giggling.

"You said it Blackkit" Snowstorm meowed, staring at me and Willowkit with amusement shining in her eyes.

"Wildkit, tell them about you know who" Willowkit says, I growned in annoyance, but I tell Blackkit and Snowstorm about Chesnutpaw.

"Want to know what he said to me and Willowkit when we returned?" I asked, and Blackkit and Snowstorm nodded.

"Well, look at the runaways" i say in my best imitation of the large tom cat.

"What did you tell Chesnutpaw?" Blackkit asked, jumping up and down and I laughed quiatly at Blackkit.

"Chesnutpaw, go stick yourself up your own butthole, and for the love of StarClan, please don't repeat that" I say and Snowstorm nodds and gives a stern look to Blackkit.

"All cats old enough to catch their own pray gather here beneath the Highrock for a Clan meeting." Came Icestar's yowl from the Highrock, we all stood to our paws and made our way outside.

"Cinderkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Cinderpaw. Your mentor will be Spottedleaf." Icestar meowed, and Spottedleaf stepped foreword, sitting at the base of the Highrock as she stared up at Icestar, who continued speaking.

"Spottedleaf will pass down all she knows on to you. you are ready to take on an apprentice." Icestar yowls, and the young tortoiseshell molly modded her head.

"Spottedleaf. You have received excellent training from Redwind, and you have shown yourself to be skilled in healing others. You will be the mentor of Cinderpaw and I expect you to pass on all you know to Cinderpaw." Spottedleaf touches noses with Cinderpaw.

"Cinderpaw! Cinderpaw! Cinderpaw!" Yowls of excitement ring out as Cinderpaw is congratulated by her mother, Rosefur and her younger sisters, Mistykit and Pikakit.
