I have read sunrise so my story will turn accordingly.
Starfire watched her kits play with the other kits. Owlkit and Lilykit were playfighting together while Rainkit Graykit and Icekit were playing with Toadkit Briarkit, Blossomkit, and Rosekit. Only now did she realize the fact that she was no longer blind. The weight of the situation, the joy of the cripple being lifted was prolongede by the urgency of the kits care. Her heart thumped wildly but she forced herself to remain calm. She hadn't even thought of her parents once...oh no.
Starfire got up suddenly and walked over to Millie.
"Millie will you watch the kits? I have something to do"
"Yes Starfire" Millie walked over and took her place "I wonder how you could have managed such a big litter." She said absentmindedly.
Starfire strode out of camp, unaware at the time that she was being followed. She picked her way through the wood and looked behind her. Seeing no one, she concentrated on her human form. her eyesight went black and her other senses dulled as she grew taller.
Jayfeather's view...
He followed her out of camp. Jayfeather did not know what made him do it but he did. He stayed out of her sight the whole time. Suddenly he could see, he saw Starfire transform into a twoleg and he noticed that she could not see. His vison blacked out but he could hear a twoleg blunder away.
Starfire...
Starfire walked up to her grandfather's house and felt her way into his office.
"There you are Alexandrina!" grandfather's voice rang out.
"I can turn into a cat!" Starfire blurted out "And I can see when I do so!"
"Alexandrina?"
"yes?"
"Your parents died on the way here in a car crash a few days ago we couldn't find you anywhere" he said softly.
Grandfather had a way of going straight to the point, no matter how shattering and painful.
"What?" Starfire couldn't believe this was so. "then I shall remain a cat"
Starfire morphed into her cat form staring up at grandfather. He bent down and started crying petting Starfire gently. Starfire then developed a human's vocal chords "Let no devolopment come to the forest, no more twolegs tramping around on the paths, tell my siblings to come here and I will come back three days from now at the same time"
Grandfather nodded "well I'll be you found your spot among nature"
Always finding the bright side of the most terrible situations, typical.
He smiled. "Goodbye until then strong one.
Starfire leaped out the window and landed on the ground. She avoided windclan territory and managed to get back to thunderclan before many noticed she was gone. She stepped in and started watching the kits once more. Watching the kits, she couldn't help but proclaim owlkit as her favourite. Owlkit was headstrong and fearless but at the same time levelheaded and calm. Lilykit was too calm and Icekit was fearful but she would learn quickly. Rainkit and Graykit however were stubborn and would not give up their way of life that easily, but maybe that would change with age. Besides, all of them seem to like playing together with the clan kits.
Starfire broke away from them when Lionblaze walked up to her. "Time for your fighting lessons..." his voice dropped to a whisper, "Not that you need one"
After the fight with Firestar, Lionblaze saw Starfire in a new light it seemed. He had even volunteered to help train her. She however, learned quickly and was pinning him down within an hour of the first session. Starfire already had hunting down so she went straight to patrols for that, despite the protests about her having kits. Firestar approved, saying that she had kept the kits on top of hunting for them without help and now she can do so for the whole clan.
Lionblaze pounced. Too predictable...aiming for ahh ha! Starfire leaped to the side throwing a blow in.
"How...did...you...know"
"Tigerstar used it" Starfire said in a low meow.
"Oh" Another question seemed to light up his face "If you don't mind me asking...where's your mate?"
Starfire stiffened, searching her mind. She picked up a lost bit of knowledge out of the darkness. A silver tabby being killed by a monster. That was Moss's mate.
"He was killed by a monster before the kits were born" Starfire said, genuine saddness filling her voice. I never knew him but it's sad enough my kits will never see their father. Yes my kits...but they are still Moss's all the same.
"thats awful"
"One learns to move on."
Starfire took his momentary distraction to leap onto his back.
"Hey!" He started "I wasn't ready"
"Expect the unexpected" Starfire purred. "No lets go get something off the fresh kill pile"
Starfire stepped on some nettles on the way back. "Crap!" She half yowled.
"What?" Lionblaze stepped towards her.
"Just...stinging nettle" Starfire said lifting her paw out of the plant "ouch"
"You should go to Leafpool's den she'll fix that"
"Thanks."
Starfire bounded across camp to the medicine cat den.
Jayfeather was in there alone, sorting through herbs. Immediately his ears perked forward and he turned towards Starfire. "how may I help you?"
"Just stepped in some stinging nettle"
"Nettle?" Jayfeather stepped forward and sniffed her paw.
He walked to the back and came forward clutching some dock leaves in his jaws. To her utter surprise, he started chewing them and spat the pulp onto her paw.
"Rub that in, it will soothe the pain" he said.
"Thanks" Starfire did so sighing in relief from the stings.
Starfire walked out of the den and to the nursery where the kits were now sleeping, huddled beside Millie.
"Hey Millie"
"Oh hello Starfire" she said.
Starfire huddled on the other side of the kits.
"Kits are so wonderful" Daisy wandered in. "Here."
She dropped a pigeonby Millie and a vole by Starfire.
"Thank you" They said at the same time.
"So Starfire, do you have any littermates?" Daisy asked settling down across from them.
"Yes I have two older brothers who were born in a litter before me with a sister, and I have three little sisters who were born in a litter after me" The half lie slipped off her tongue easily.
"That's lovely" Millie said.
"We got along just fine living in an abandoned barn until I decided to go alone for a while and thats when I had my kits."
"Oh"
Star looked around at the loosely woven brambles making up the nursery walls. "I know a way to make that stronger and not let in a bit of rain come in"
"Do you?" Daisy said "Thats what I miss most about my barn, a sound roof"
"I would like that" Millie said simply. She seemed to be a no nonsense person I mean cat.
"The way you build in here is completely inefficient I mean you are not taking full advantage of this old quarry"
"Quarry what is that?" Millie asked.
"Twolegs carve stone from the earth to build their nests and thunderpaths. those wholes are called quarries"
"Oh" Millie paused "How do you know all of this?"
"I have traveled far in my short life I have been across the sun drown place's ocean to the otherside I have traveled to a place where it is warm all throughout leafbare. I picked up a few things."
"Really a place without leafbare? Is that possible?" Daisy asked.
"Yes, sadly those places are far more packed with twolegs" Starfire told them.
"Amazing"
"When do you want me to reconstruct the nursery?"
"Any time" Millie said.
"I'll start gathering materials now"
Starfire walked out of the nursery and looked it over.
She started to think about what her siblings cats names. John should be Falcon for his fierce personality, Edward should be Sparrow, he's very aloof. Margretta should be Silverstream because of her grace. Johanna could be Moon, she was nice enough for that, Kristina would be Fire and Grace will stay as is. That would work.
This was going to take quite a bit of work. Fitting in, protecting the clan, redoing the nursery and last of all convincing her siblings to join the clan. Even if that could happen could she change them into cats?
I hope you like this chapter. would readers please tell me who they think Starfire is more interested in when it comes to mates?
