Hey guys, I forgot to put up the allegiances, so, yeah. I'll add the others when they come in. :P Also, the pound thingy above the 8 is what I've been using to change times in the chapter, but it doesn't work. Neither does indenting. So just figure out the time change. Bye!
CHAPTER 1
Spottedkit stretched and stood. The sun shone through the entrance in the nursery, and Spottedkit was relaxing in the warmth. With a purr of satisfaction, she realized her mother's brown tabby tail was lashing in front of her. Crouching, she leaped onto it.
Her mother yelped, then whirled around. "No biting!" Russet-tail mewed sternly. Spottedkit's brother, a white kitten, stood up.
"Am I done being cleaned?" he asked.
Russet-tail purred. "Yes, and I see you two are restless." She licked Spottedkit's head. "How about a story?"
"Tell us about the Clans!" Icekit mewed.
"Very well. Long ago, before our time, there were four Clans."
"Thunder, Shadow, Wind, and River!" Spottedkit meowed.
"Good!" Russet-tail purred. "And they lived in peace until a fire struck the land. Even RiverClan territory!"
Even though they had heard the story, the kits gasped.
"After the fire, there was a terrible famine! Many cats died, and finally, ThunderClan's noble leader, Squirrelstar, led the remaining cats away from the lake. StarClan led them to our current territories, and the remaining twelve cats split into four groups. In honor of the old Clans, they named each Clan after the old Clans."
"DarkClan, BrookClan, BreezeClan, and our Clan, StormClan!" Icekit chimed in.
"Good! Now if you two will excuse me, Blackfoot would like to speak to me." Russet-tail mewed. She licked each of her kit's heads, then exited the nursery.
o.o.o
Spottedkit looked around. "It's so boring in here!"
"Hey, I have an idea!" Icekit said.
"What?"
"Let's follow her!"
"Great plan!" Spottedkit led the way out of the nursery. The medicine den was only a few fox-lengths away, and the made it there with ease. Spottedkit, the smaller of the two, crawled into the honeysuckle bush first.
"How are they?" Blackfoot asked.
"Fine. For three moons, they have so much energy!" Russet-tail purred.
"But they're still kits! Imagine how wild they'll be as apprentices!"
Spottedkit let out a small purr. Icekit shoved his head in beside her.
Now, onto the real discussion." Blackfoot lowered his voice, and Spottedkit strained to hear. "You know what I'm about to say."
Their mother tensed. "They're mine!"
"Both of your kits died. Those kits are lucky I found them right after you kitted, or else Swiftfoot would have found out about the others. You know they aren't yours. Icekit looks nothing like you or him, and Spottedkit only has your brown fur. I'm surprised the Clans haven't realized it."
Russet-tail hissed. "But I love them like my own, and that's what matters!" She stormed out of the den, and Spottedkit and her brother rushed back to the nursery, forgetting the entire conversation.
