Well, I couldn't just leave you guys with just the allegiances, could I?
So, here's the real first chapter! Enjoy, and review!!
Chapter Two
Danger Ahead
Many of the ThunderClan cats were awake and moving around. Most of them were worried. They just held a Gathering last night and they are waiting to see what Froststar has to say.
The nursery was quiet, filled with young kits sleeping. Their mothers sat with them, grooming their fur and chatting with each other. They, too, wanted to know what happened at last night's Gathering.
A yowl sounded from outside, in the clearing. One of the queens, Brackenheart, nudged her kits awake.
Rainkit and Thistlekit yawned awake and followed their mother outside, into the clearing. They weren't sure what exactly was going on, but they wanted to be sure nothing was wrong. They were becoming apprentices soon, after all.
Most of the Clan was sitting before their leader, waiting impatiently for her news. Once everyone had sat down, Froststar opened her mouth to speak.
"I'm sure most of you who stayed home during the Gathering last night are wondering what happened, after the rumors our warriors spread around. Listen, I won't waste any time. Blackstar wants to take our territory, and everyone knows how he acts. If he doens't get what he wants, he attacks." Froststar announced.
ThunderClan's clearing was filled with worried mews. Cats looked around at each other in worry, whispering anxiously to each other.
"Here's what we will do. I'm not letting him have any of our territory. Everyone, train harder, because I know he's going to attack. Last night I refused to let him have our territory, and it looked as if he was ready to start a fight right there. Luckily, StarClan intervened and sent us a sign. Storm clouds started to form and soon it started to rain. Be prepared to fight him and all of ShadowClan. When you are outside the Clan, don't spend too long, and if possible, please train your apprentices inside the clearing or close by. Thank you." With that, she walked off to the fresh-kill pile.
Rainkit started to become scared. She was never in a raid before. She didn't want to be in one, either. She followed Thistlekit back into the nursery.
They both sat down on a patch of moss. Brackenheart soon came back in, and the only other queen in the nursery, Moonleg, said to her, "What's going on?"
Brackenheart told her. She sounded like she was tired of hearing about raids and attacks from ShadowClan.
Rainkit sighed and turned to her sister. Thistlekit, after a few heartbeats of looking out of the den, looked back at Rainkit. "What?"
Without a word, Rainkit pounced on her sister. She ran out of the den, Thistlekit following close behind. The two batted at each other and play-fought for minutes.
After many minutes of playing, the two flopped onto their stomachs, tired.
"I wonder what the Clan will do about the raid from ShadowClan?" Rainkit mewed after many moments of silence.
Thistlekit turned to her sister. "I don't know. We shouldn't have to worry about that! We're still kits, it's not like we will have to fight in it!"
"That's true!" Rainkit sat up, then started to groom her pelt, which was dirty with dust from their play-fight.
"Stop worrying about it, Rainkit. We'll have warriors to protect us!" Thistlekit reassured her.
Rainkit nodded, smiling. Hopefully, everything would be all right for them.
She headed back into the nursery and saw her mother and Moonleg sitting together, chatting and smiling.
Rainkit curled up at her mother's belly fur. Although Thistlekit told her everything would be all right, she couldn't help but feel like something bad was about to happen.
