Chapter 4: Ancestors
I haven't mentioned this for the last couple chapters, but the clans look the same except for the camp of Thunderclan, which is now Streamclan, which now has a tree near the center of the clearing and a stream runs through the camp right behind it. The clans are Streamclan, formerly Thunderclan, Oceanclan, formerly Riverclan, Stormclan, formerly Shadowclan, and Windclan, formerly Windclan. Windclan is the only one that stayed the same. Here's chapter 4.
"What are we going to do today, Whitestar?" Forgottenpaw was lying by her Starclan mentor, Whitestar, in an open field. He turned his head toward her and stared at her through dark blue pools for eyes.
"You shall learn about your ancestors and the cats who are closest to you now by blood today. A little break from hunting and battling never hurt, did it?"
"No, Whitestar, it never did!" She let the sweet smell of heather and ferns fill her nose. It felt good to lie on fresh green grass instead of the cold snow outside the apprentice den. She rolled on her back and batted at a fern that bounced playfully at her head, the moonlight spreading a warm and chilling feeling through her body.
"Now let us begin the lesson. As you know, I was leader before Wrenstar. My mate was a she-cat named Flowerpetal. She was Tigerstripe's sister and died of greencough a moon before you were born. Our kits, Silverstripe, Swiftriver, and Goldenheart, were very close. Duskpaw has already told you about them. One of your closest ancestors, Dreamingcloud of Shadowclan, now it is called Stormclan, was my great grandmother." She looked up curiously at him.
"I'll tell you that story another time. Rushingwind of Oceanclan was the son of Breezeflower and Icestar. His sister is deputy and their red coloring has been a mystery that you will figure out one day. Rushingwind is your closest living blood relative. You have no brothers and sisters, as you should know. Goldenheart found you." He looked up at the moon and stared at it for a moent before going on.
"You probably don't remember, but you were born by the Windclan border in the beginning of Leafbare on the first day of snow. You should come to the Moonpool sometime to visit your other ancestors. Dreamingcloud would probably like it. She doesn't get many visitors. But first, you should visit your father. He might still be wondering if you survived or not. Wrenstar never mentioned you at a gathering. He only mentioned the death of Silverstripe. Well, it's almost sunrise now. You should wake up soon. I'll see you in two nights."
Whitestar got up and Forgottenpaw got to her paws. "Why in two nights? Why not tonight?" she asked curiously.
"Because, tomorrow is the gathering. And you should go to it, whether it's alone or with the group of cats Wrenstar chooses." he slowly disappeared with the ground and she was left in darkness. Then, a cat that glowed silver in the darkness whispered in a soft, low voice, "When the bird falls, the flower will stand and evil will shadow the forest."
So how'd you like it? Sorry it was so short. Oh, before I forget, if I can get 20 reviews, I'll put in a bonus story about Lightpaw and Darkpaw of Windclan. By the way, I made a mistake on the Allegiances. Darkpaw and Lightpaw are both she-cats. I put one of them as a tom by accident. They have a lot to do with this story, so if I can get 20 reviews I'll put in this never before seen Bonus Story!!!! So ya, don't forget to review. And Dreamingcloud is from my story, The Power Of The Stars, so if you want to read about her and her siblings, you can. I hope you do!!!!! Review!!!!
PS: I'm gonna have a contest soon so pay clase attention!!!! Review!!!
