And here is chapter 2 of Phoenixstar's beginning! Disclaimer: Only the cats that live in PhoenixClan and a few others belong to me.
Phoenixkit ran from the large nursery and up to the medicine cat, Moonflight, who was watching over Weatherpaw, whom had been attacked by a dog.
"He was very lucky to even survive," Moonflight said to Sunstar, PhoenixClan's yellow furred leader.
"Yes, he was wasn't he?"
"Sunstar, I must speak with you tonight."
Phoenixkit, who had a habit of playing in the clearing at night, heard this and decided to have a listen to their talk.
"Why, hello there Phoenixkit," The little orange kit was startled by a voice from behind her. It was the elder, Stonestream.
"Oh, hello Stonestream," Phoenixkit replied, sounding older than she was.
"I was just wondering why you were hiding here, away from the eyes of others," The elder cat said. His face had many scars from past battles he often told to the kits. One ran over his right eye, making it hard for him to see correctly.
"Oh.... well I was just taking a little short-cut to talk to Moonflight. But when I heard her talking to Sunstar, I didn't want to come out," Was her partly innocent reply.
"Well, I don't really belive you but, since your only a kit, I won't ponder on it," The grey elder told her. "You had better head on back to your mother, before she starts to worry."
"Alright Stonestream. Maybe me, Owlkit, Nightkit, Silverkit, and Applekit could come by later," Phoenixkit said to him. He seemed to ponder for a heartbeat, but said he would love that and left. Phoenixkit started to head back to the nursery when she heard a growl from behind her.
"Hey, what are you doing, Phoenixkit?" It was Blacktalon, the strongest warrior in all of PhoenixClan. And he didn't like kits, especially Phoenixkit.
"Sorry, Blacktalon, but I was just heading back to the nursery," She replied feebly. Blacktalon picked Phoenixkit up back her scruff and carried her back to the nursery.

"Oh, there you are Phoenixkit. I was beginning to worry," Firefeather said to her kit when she returned in Blacktalon's mouth. Blacktalon released his grip on Phoenixkit. She landed with a soft thud.
"Blacktalon, you should be more careful with kits," A booming voice came from the nursery's entrance. It was Treetail, a senior warrior and Phoenixkit's father.
"Well, maybe you should teach your kit not to wonder around camp," Blacktalon growled.
"If I don't let my kits be curious, then they won't have reason to try to explore, and be afraid to leave camp."
"You may be a senior warrior, Treetail, but you are a fool! "
"Kits are the future for PhoenixClan!"
With a glare, Blacktalon left the nursery. Not even a heartbeat later Sunstar came in to the nursery. The golden leader sat down by Treetail.
"What am I going to do with Blacktalon?" He asked no cat in particular.
"Maybe you could banish him!" Came a high-pitched voice. The voice belonged to Applekit, the red-orange kit. Out of all the kits, Applekit was the one who was in trouble most of the time.
"Applekit!" Her mother, Redmouth, scowled. Soon, Silverkit, Owlkit, and Nightkit were awake. Sunstar, who was Applekit's father, walked over to his mate and kit.
"Redmouth, Applekit may be right. I may have to banish him soon if he keeps acting this way," The golden leader solemnly said. He rasped his tounge over Applekit, who in return tried to run away. Silverkit sat close to his mother, not wishing to join in on Applelit's actions. Owlkit and Nightkit were sitting close to Phoenixkit, watching the red-orange kit try to struggle away from her father. Soon Silverkit's father, Frostwing, came in. Frostwing was the deputy of PhoenixClan.
"Mother, Father, I spoke to Stonestream earlier today and asked if I, Owlkit, Nightkit, Silverkit, and Applekit could go and listen to some of his stories. May we go?" Phoenixkit asked her parents.
"Of course you can," Firefeather tenderly said.
"Thank you! Come on, we can't keep Stonestream waiting!" And with that, Phoenixkit had bolted out of the nursery, with Nightkit and his brother following, Applekit right behind them, and with Silverkit bringing up the rear.

The kits reached the elder's den in no time. Slowing down, Phoenixstar looked for the battle raved elder.
"Over here, kits." Came the gentle voice of Stonestream.
"Hi Stonestream!" Applekit joyously said.
"Hello, Grandfather." Silverkit said, bowing his head.
"Greetings Stonestream," The brothers said.
Walking up to him, Phoenixkit rubbed her head against the elder's fur. "Hello Stonestream." She said.
"You always were the strange one, Phoenixkit." Stonestream jokingly said. "Now, would you five like to hear the story of the battle for *abandonment*?"
"Please!" The kits said in unison.
"Alright, get comfortable. This may take awhile." He said. Settling down, the kits were ready for their story. "Okay then. Now listen closely. This battle was the most important victory for PhoenixClan. This is how it started."
I love cliffhangers. So, next chapter Stonestream the Elder will tell the kits the story for abandonment. Sorry it took so long to update!
