When Midnight Strikes
Thank you, StormxRaven and {Guest}, for the nice reviews! And now here's the next part of When Midnight Strikes!
Chapter 1
Midnightkit opened her jaws in a yawn as sunlight streamed through the darkness of her closed eyes. She shuffled around in her nest, feeling Dappleshine's warmth, but Snowkit, her sister, was missing. She snapped open her eyes immediately, looking around frantically for the snow-white pelt of her sister.
She nudged her mother when she couldn't find it. Dappleshine must have been having a good dream because she snapped as soon as she opened her eyes. "Midnightkit! Why in the world did you wake me up?"
So she proceeded to tell her about Snowkit.
Well, that's how Midnightkit wished her morning was. Instead, it was completely the opposite.
"Midnightkit, wake up," a voice hissed in her ear. She blinked open her wide golden eyes, finding that Snowkit had woke her up.
"What do you want?" the black she-kit asked groggily, shaking her head to try to wake up. Dim sunlight streamed through the Nursery, showing it was dawn. My StarClan… only the dawn patrol should be up!
"I wanted to get a head start on the day." More like you wanted to annoy me more.
Midnightkit let out a sigh, shaking her head and turning away from her snow-pelted sister. "I'm too tired," she yawned, closing her eyes.
"No, wake up," Snowkit insisted, shaking her with her front paws. "I want to explore camp, and Dappleshine won't let me unless you wake up!"
She groaned, rolling over and blinking her eyes open to stare into Snowkit's blue irises. "Look Snowkit. I promise that I'll explore the camp with you… just not right now," she grumbled.
"But—"
Midnightkit just groaned again and closed her eyes, letting sleep take her into the darkness.
"Midnightkit, wake up," a voice hissed in her ear.
The black she-kit grumbled, but opened her eyes anyway. Hey, doesn't this seem familiar?
But instead, she was face-to-face with her mother, Dappleshine. "Why do people keep waking me up?" she asked, tilting her head at the tortoiseshell she-cat.
"Well, I woke you up because Kestrelstar is holding a meeting." And then her mother padded out. Just like that.
Midnightkit blinked after her. Who the heck is Kestrelstar anyways? Is he like, the leader or something? But then again, Dappleshine always told me that leaders had "star" after their name… but what in the name of StarClan is "kestrel"? She shook her head and just padded out of the Nursery. She spotted her mother's tortoiseshell pelt and walked towards her, settling down.
"We have gathered here today so Yellowpaw, one of our bravest apprentices, can be made a warrior. Yellowpaw, do you accept the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"
The yellow-cream pelt of a she-cat was fluffed up in excitement at the front of the crowd. "Of course!" she meowed, her voice laced with joy.
"Then from this moment on, your name shall be Yellowgaze, for your beautiful amber eyes," a golden brown tom called for a big rock. He then jumped down, padding towards the yellow-pelted she-cat and placing his nose on her head.
"Yellowgaze! Yellowgaze!" The Clan cheered, Midnightkit joining in. She had no idea who this she-cat was, but she must be important if so many cats in the Clan liked her.
As the cats around her dispersed to their normal duties, the black she-kit padded towards Yellowgaze, her eyes shining in admiration. "Congratulations, Yellowgaze," Midnightkit meowed, her ear twitching slightly.
Yellowgaze glanced at her, her amber eyes widening in surprise. But that surprise was soon replaced by anger. She huffed, and with her nose in the air, padded towards the warriors den.
Midnightkit stared dumbfounded as the golden she-cat disappeared into the den at the other side of camp. Was it something I said?
Eh, sorry if I made a few parts laughable… I did that on accident. It's not supposed to be funny (I think) xD. Well, anyways, please read and review!
