Disclaimer: I don't own the warriors series or any of its characters, but my own OC's
The leaves rustled in the wind as a calico she-cat padded out into a clearing. the clearing was filled with cats all talking with one another already she padded up to a massive golden tom and dipped her head in greeting to him " Hello Lionstar how are things" she mewed the tom smiled respectively to the she-cat
"Thing's are great Spottedstar now may I ask why you have gathered us here" he asked her tail twitched in response
"I'm afraid the clan's are about to go through hard times " she mewed Lionstar tilted his head in confusion at the she-cat
"What do you mean leafbare is over, the prey is running smoothly again and the clan's are at peace with one another what trouble could possibly happen" she shook out her fur and muttered
"That's what i'm trying to figure out" she walked to stand on a large rock situated in the middle of the clearing. everyone instantly looked up at the she-cat "Thank you for coming to this meeting" she started " there is a new prophecy that I have received the prophecy is When darkness threatens the clans dawn will rise to banish the darkness for good" the cat's started murmuring to each other
"So what do you think it means" calls out a black tom
"I'm afraid I don't know Tatterdflank that is why I called you all here" she looked out into the trees " I think we are all in danger".
In HawkClan a queen was giving birth her mate Hawkstar padded outside of the nursery pacing back and forth "What if something goes wrong, what if the don't come out, what if -" the tom was cut off abruptly by a brown striped tom, the tom chuckled
"Hey it's gonna be fine brother no need to worry yourself I can already see the grey fur" Hawkstar shook his head
"I know Spiderhawk I just -" he was cut of by a loud yowl of pain the medicine cat ran out of the den to Hawkstar
"Hawkstar I'm sorry she's not going to make it i suggest you go say goodbye" the she-cat mewed solemnly Hawkstar stiffened Spiderhawk padded over to his brother and placed his tail on his shoulder
"Oh StarCan I am so sorry brother" The tom didn't seem to hear him as he slowly walked into the nursery Speckledawn lay in a slowly growing pool of blood she looked up to her mate
"Ha-hawkstar" she mewed weakly he padded up to her and nuzzled her
"Please please don't leave me Speckledawn" his voice cracked on her name tears flowing freely down his face
"I am sorry but it-it's my time" she stated softly she looked down at the three kits curled up next to her "Take care of our kits" she said before her head fell back and her eyes glazed over
"Speckledawn? .. SPECKLEDAWN NO NO PLEASE STARCLAN NO" Hawkstar wailed and shouted up to the sky no she couldn't be dead this can't be happening he continued to cry silently he heard a soft mewl he looked down and looked at the three little kit's curled up in their mother's blood he gently picked them up and cleaned them he looked them over first was a large brown tom much like himself " Falconkit" he muttered next to the tom was a calico she-cat cuddling with the larger tom " Rainbowkit" he mewed he looked to the last kit a small cream furred kit squirming around he nudged her with his nose " she looked up at Hawkstar as she opened her still sightless eyes he gasped as he was meet with beautiful blue orbs much like her mother's a small smile came to his face as he mewed " Dawnkit" the she-cat mewled at this and he nuzzled his kit's heads he would be there for them like Speckledawn had wanted he promised.
That night as Hawkstar slept he dreamed of Speckledawn and of his kit's playing in a large meadow he smiled and laughed as he was tackled by his kit's Speckledawn padded over she smiled at him "Hawkstar you have to wake up now" he jolted up out of his nest when his eyes adjusted to the dark he saw Pinefern one of his guards
"Pinefern what is it" he questioned
"We have some visitors from WolfClan" he answered Hawkstar quickly got to his paws and padded out of the den Pinefern in tow his deputy Rapidclaw stood in a defensive position in front of two cats as he got nearer he gasped
"Wolfstar, Yellowleaf what are you doing here and why do you have kit's with you" The tom Wolfstar glanced at Hawkstar with a pleading gaze
"Wolfclan is in trouble and we have to leave the lake, but our kit's are too young and small to travel so great a distance I want you to take them in please Hawkstar I beg you" the tom mewed pleadingly Hawkstar sighed and walked over to the little kits both were gray she-cats they were climbing over each other mewling he looked up at nodded to Wolfstar
"Alright Wolfstar I'll take them in" Wolfstar smiled widely
"Thank you Hawkstar there names are Rainkit and Mountainkit thank you so much" Hawkstar nodded and turned to Rapidclaw and Pinefern
"Take Rainkit to Smallspirit and Mountainkit to Cherryfeather" they both nodded and picked up the kit's and took them to the nursery "May starclan light your path Wolfstar" Wolfstar's reply was cut off by a shout
"NO" Hawkstar noticed a Black kit a few moons older than his own " Dad you can't do this they-" the kit was cut off when Wolfstar's paw hit him across the face claws unsheathed the kit fell back with a whimper blood dripping off his face
"Don't speak out against me Nightkit" he growled deeply the kit backed up to his mother who licked the young kits cut muttering softly to him Hawkstar stared wide eyed at Wolfstar said tom turned and marched out of the camp his mate and kit in tow Hawkstar shook his head with a sigh he turned and padded into the nursery he looked down at his kit's and the newest addition to his own family he was afraid to raise Wolfstar's kits together so Rainkit would be his daughter and Mountainkit Cherryfeathers with that he walked back to his den and fell back into a deep sleep.
