Hi, sorry, it took me a while to finally write this, I just couldn't come up with something I was happy with. I guess I'm okay with this? If things don't make sense, don't worry, you'll understand later on in the story.
Till then, enjoy
Prologue:
Shreddedleg looked down at the she-cat lying at his paws. Her mouth was hanging open as she rested her head against the soft grass. Her white chest was moving up and down, showing she was still breathing. He nudged her muzzle that had turned white with age.
"Please, don't leave me," he whispered, licking her cheek.
She closed her eyes and sighed, before looking up at her friend once again. A single tear rolled from her sparkling yellow eyes.
"L-look after my kits," she rasped.
Shreddedleg watched as Kestrelnose stepped forward and pressed his black nose to his mothers head. She gazed up at her son, her eyes glowing with pride. Greystone padded towards her, his grey tail dragging in the grass.
"Do you have to go?" he mewed softly, his grey eyes brimming with sadness.
The she-cat raised her tail to stroke her sons cheek.
"You look so much like my father," she whispered, pulling him towards her to touch his muzzle to hers. "And you, so much like your father."
Kestrelnose licked his mothers cheek, his brown tabby fur bristling softly.
"I have your eyes," he rumbled.
Shreddedleg stepped forward.
"You can go, I will be here for them," he rasped, resting his head beside the she-cats.
She blinked.
"I love you, Beetle, thank you for being there for me," she licked Shreddedleg's cheek.
He closed his green eyes, his heart aching.
"I love you too, Soot."
The she-cats eyes glazed over as life ebbed from her body, her white paws twitching slightly. Shreddedleg felt fur brush his and turned to see a brown tabby tom with warm grey eyes smiling kindly at him. Stars danced at his paws and all over his pelt.
Another cat stood beside him.
Her eyes were yellow and her pelt was black.
She had white paws.
Her muzzle was no longer white from age.
She nodded to him, casting a sad glance towards the lifeless body lying in front of her before she pressed against the brown tom and walked up into the sky, stars jumping into the air with every step she took.
Shreddedleg stretched his neck out, trying not to let go of her scent. He smiled softly, wiping a tear from his grey cheek.
I'll see you in a bit, flea-brain.
It's short, but nice, I hope?
Chapter One tomorrow, I will have to do some editing and I'll also have to split my chapters up into part 1 and 2 because they're quite long, about 4000 words each chapter. Is that long? I dunno XD
Thank you for reading, if you did. This story will hopefully go on for a while, I apologise for my bad writing, I'm rusty from taking a two year break from writing FanFictions.
Anyway, thats all from me :)
Happy hunting!
