Hey everyone! For the sake of those who can't remember what happened in the prologue, here's a recap:
Blizzardstar, leader of ThunderClan, had two healthy kits named Mintkit and Darkkit. She then falls asleep and is confronted by a dark cat who says that her kits will destroy the clan, and it's all her fault that they will.
Okay, so now let's get started! I hope you enjoy!
Chapter 1- Butterflies
(Mintkit)
A paw pressed against her flank and she let out a furious hiss.
"Darkkit! Move your fur!" Mintkit's lazy brother, Darkkit, simply opened one eye and closed it again. Mintkit sighed and decided that going outside would be better than staying in here with her annoying brother.
Mintkit squeezed out of the nursery. She was surprised how hard it was to exit, because she could remember when she was able to hop in and out of it. At least I'll be an apprentice soon! she thought excitedly.
What she really wanted to do, was be a medicine cat apprentice. However, she couldn't because Eaglepaw was already apprentice to Icetalon. Maybe he'd quit.
"In my dreams," she muttered angrily.
"Okay, Fernswipe, Moonwing, Stormcloud and Emberpaw I want you to patrol the ShadowClan border. Also Ghostclaw, Lightningpaw, and Duskpaw will you go on a hunting patrol?" The cats nodded and exited the camp.
Turtleclaw really was a great choice for deputy, Mintkit decided. Last night, Icewhisker announced that she was moving to the elder's den to live out the rest of her moons in peace. Blizzardstar chose Turtleclaw to replace her, and he was a very popular choice amongst the clan.
Suddenly, some cat jumped on Mintkit's back. "Hey!" she yowled. She heard Darkkit and Foxkit purring above her. She shook her denmate and brother off and let out an annoyed hiss.
"Oh come on, it's just a game!" Darkkit meowed.
"Yeah, lighten up." Foxkit grumbled, and Mintkit sighed.
Foxkit was always doing what Mintkit's clumsy brother was doing. A blind fox could tell that the two liked each other.
"Too bad no cat likes me," she sighed. Darkkit shot her a concerned gaze.
"What do you mean?" Her brother said, confused. "I like you."
"That's not what I meant," she grumbled and stalked off.
A butterfly flew in front of Mintkit's nose. Gaining some of her old spirit back, she raced after. Soon she realized she had no idea where she was.
"Hello Mintkit." Mintkit looked up and gasped. It was Jayfeather, ThunderClan's medicine cat many, many seasons ago.
"H-Hi!" she squeaked.
"I'm here to give you a message. You are destined to be a medicine cat. Eaglepaw will resign very soon, I promise. I can tell that your path is darkened by shadows, but eventually you will find the light."
"Is that a prophecy?" she whispered in awe, but the once blind medicine cat had disappeared.
"What are you doing out here!" some cat shrieked behind her. Mintkit spun around and saw Oceanbreeze racing over to her.
"You almost gave your mother a fright! Do you realize you've been gone almost all day?"
"Huh? I just came over here. I was chasing a butterfly and-" she stopped herself. For some reason, something inside her didn't want to say anything about the prophecy. She closed her jaws quickly.
"You know very well that you didn't! Look at the sky!" Sure enough, violet and red rays were glowing above Mintkit. Silverpelt was slowly beginning to show.
"Sorry Oceanbreeze, I didn't realize." she murmured.
"I should think so, now come back to camp! Blazepaw and Creekpaw's warrior cerememony is going to begin soon!
